Den of Thieves Found In South Bend Hangout.

Three men have been arrested and two more are being sought for numerous robberies committed in Ohio and northern Indiana. The arrests were made at South Bend, where the men "bad their headquarters .at the Peverett rooming house. Peverett was a leader of the gang. He is known to the criminal world as “Whitey Black.” Another of the gang arrested was “Indianapolis Billy” Joyce, and the third was Charles Wolever, also known as "Loss” Wilson. When the Peveret house was searched enough nitroglycerin was found, so dispatches say, to have blown up the city of South Bend. Mrs. Peverett made a full confession, stating that their home had long been the rendezvous for thieves and cutthroats. It is not improbable that this is the gapg that done the Medaryville jobs.
