(’apt. Matt Leach of Indiana state police and other authorities held closely to the belief that the desperadoes had “holed up" in j central Indiana, probably in Indianapolis. A report from an inn keeper west of Toledo, 0., that three men answering the description of Brady and his companions, Clarence Lee Shaffer. Jr., and James Dajhover, visited his establishment wih cheeked carefully. No trace of the men could be found. Three youths held at Tulsa, Okla., were released when they proved they were not the hunted fugitives. Two men attempted to hold up a filling station attendant «aj Brookville, but the attendant could not identify either of his assailants as members of the gang. Believing the gang still in this community, Leach ordered a . search of private ajid commercial garages for the automobile in which the men escaped from Greenfield after breaking out of the Hancock county jail last SunI day and also the dark Ford sedan to which they transferred early Monday morning near Indianapolis. Leach ordered the utmost canI tion in approaching possible hideouts of the gang, describing Brady and the others as “vicious killers."
