Nuckles was arrested three months ago on a robbery charge in Cleveland and was sent to Lima for observation. He said he stayed with the baud until it reached Fort Wayne, Ind., in a stolen automobile. There, ho said, he left them ami rode to Cleveland aboard a freight train in the hope he would be able to visit his sick mother. He was seised on a street corner. “Haines was our leader aud did all the talking.’ he said. “He said he was going to Chicago to kill his wife and several policemen he didn't like there." He said Malnes planned to carry ! out the assassinations before embarking on a eareer of bank robbery. He believed the four planned to split up at Chicago and that Pierce intended to go to Denver, Colo., or File, Pa., where he he relatives. • -———o — 81st INDIANA l JONTINUKD KROM PAGE ONE) sue if defeated Republican state candidates in the Nov. 8 election carry a contest to the legislature. The supreme court recently repected their petition for a recount of the votes in seven counties ami pointed out that contest suits could be brought before the assembly. This would be a prolonged, expensive procedure, however, and the chances were that the legislature will not have to enter the light. Defeated Republicans have filed for a re-hearing with the supreme court but in view of the court's clear-cut, sharply-worded opinion, it was first considered probable that the re-hearing would be granted. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend was busy preparing the final draft of his biennial message to the legislature which will be delivered sthortly after the legislature convenes. The governor’s report was expected to be aleugthy, all inclusive document, directing (he as-j semiiiy s attention to the many ini- i portant problems to be considered , by it. In a last minute rush, the spec- i ial liquor law study commission was to make a preliminary report ' to the governor today which he J was expected to embrace in his ! message. This report probably will recommend elimination of beer port s-of-entry. Democratic senators were to caucus this afternoon to select employes of the upper chaother and discuss administration bills.)

ROBBERY NETS $26,000 HAUL i Cleveland Post Office Sub-Station Looted By Gang Cleveland, Jan. 3 —(UP) — Robbers cut through a 15-inch brick wall of a large vault in a post office sub-station sometime during tlie holiday week-end and look at least $26,000 in cash stamps and registered mail, it was discovered today. Police and postal Inspectors said in- work was that of a gang of “experts’’ who had been in the building probably five or six hours. They said it was the largest postal robbery in the history of Cleveland. The robbers’ efforts to obtain thousands of Ulang money orders, which might easily be tilled out and cashed, were thwarted when they were unable to open a small safe enclose din the vault. Louis Weglein, station superintendent. said the loot might total $30,000. Detectives anil postal authorities theorized that one member of the gang might have obtained employment in the station during the ‘thirst mas mailing rush and learned its lay-out.
