Two Teen age Boys Nabbed After Gunfight PLAINFIELD. Ind <UP!>—Two tccn-n-’cd oxeapec* from the Indi mm Boy* School looted a home and held IU owner hostage Wednesday before they stole hi* car and were captured after a I gunfight with police. The car collided with a police cgf B t a cutvr two mile* cast of Whitr*vUle during a high »peod cha*c and the youth* surrendered quietly. Police fired at the fleeing | youth* with a revolver and a •hotgun during the chase. One of the ■ youth* said he fired back with a| stolen rifle. Ronald E. Tyner. 16. Linden. iand Mile* W. Bradley, 16. Elkhart. were taken to the Montgomery County Jail at Crawfordsville where they were eharged with armed robbery, first degree 1 burglary and car theft. Tvner and Bradley went to the I home of William G. Vint here a ] few hours after they escaped, ■authorities said. Vint had left the house to get a haircut and his wife had left for work at Indianapolis. Held At Gunpoint Vint said he returned home and was confronted by the youths who pointed his own rifle and shotgun at him. He said they held him hostage for about 15 minutes in the basement of the home before I they fled in his car. "I was pretty well shook up.” j Vint said. “One of them was real i nervous and he kept waving the shotgun at me saying. ‘I don t (want to have to kill you.’ The I other one—the one with the rifle—j I was more level-headed and he didn’t scare me.” . _ Authorities quoted one of the ’youths as saying after their capI ture that they decided not to kill Vint "since he was too nice a’ j guy-" • !

The youths nearly demolished the inside of his home, Vint said. They ransacked the house and "tore it up,” he said. Drawers were emptied on the floor, furniture was ripped with a knife, a television set cabinet and dining room table were deeply scratched, eggs, coffee and milk were thrown around the house and clothing was slashed, he said. The Vints' pet parakeet was left bleeding at the bottom of its cage with one of its legs nearly severed by a knife wound. Vandalism Costs $2,006 Vint said police estimated the damage at about $2,000. He said he didn't know whether insurance would cover the damage. The youths sawed the end off Vint’s shotgun and took it and the rifle with them, together with S6O cash they found in the house authorities said. After they left, Vint called police despite the youths' warning against it. Montgomery County Sheriff Merle Remley said the youths told him they drove toward Crawfords ville where they planned to stea< another car and drive to California. They .were spotted at Jamestown by Forest O. Young, the town marshal, and Howard Rush, a Danville city policeman who was visiting Young. The boys sped up when Young turned on his siren and flashing red light, Remley said. Authorities said Rush emptied a six-shot .38 caliber pistol at the car during a chase at speeds of up to 90 miles an hour. Then he fired with a shotgun and the second blast shattered the rear window of the fleeing can Five more shots were fired before the fleeing car skidded on a curve and was hit by the police car. None of the shots the youth said he fired hit the police car.
