The eight middle-aged defendants accused of stealing $1,219,000 were described Friday as pitiless, diabolic men who swore to murder even one of their own members if necessary. The charge that the accused agreed to “exterminate” anyone who’ threatened success of the Jan. 17, 1950 robbery was made by Suffolk county district attorney Garrett H. Byrne. Byrne had relaxed the court with a recital of the history of the jury system when suddenly he faced the prisoners dock and charged stocky Anthony Pino and pink-faced Joseph F. McGinnis with master-minding the holdup. “It was Pino who procured the costumes, the caps, peajackets and masks.” Byrne said. “It was Pino who obtained machine guns and who wanted each gang member to be armed. "It was Pino and McGinnis who did all the planning for the robbery and brought the gang together. It was Pino who rigged the locks of Brink’s Inc. so the gang could enter.” ilunoiTdemos (Continued from Page One) the nomination. Stevenson told his news conference Friday that his 5,000-mile “pre-campaign” trip last week convinced Mm the people “are not swallowing the (Republican complacency line.” The candidate said people are “concerned” about the nation's “lopsided prosperity” and he will make this a primary issue.
