Refuse to Tell Source Very politely, but very firmly, Mr. Goldstei nrefused to disclose i where he had obtained the tin with ; which to construct the key. That has been his attitude since he became the unwilling guest of the state police department more than I a week ago. He has been question- , ed about a long series of bank holdI ups in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois. Mr. Goldstein's visit at police | headquarters was a short one, and I Capt. Leach then started him back ;to the Indiana state prison at Michigan City to spend about eight ; years as a parole violator. The 1 captain thought so highly of Mr. | Goldstein's character as a law vioj lator that he sent word to a north- , ern Indiana state police barracks for an extra guard to accompany i the transport car.
