Trafficman Tim O’Neal said a man came up to him and pointed out a person on the street saying: “There’s a man that took part in the Updyke robbery.’’ O’Neal arrested him.

Updyke screamed as he was choked and thrown on the rear floor, where one bandit guarded him while the other drove the car away. "We will kill you if you hollo again,” one bandit said. He was robbed of a four and one-half carat diamond ring and a two and onehalf carat shirt stud. He had only four cents in money. “Fellows, I have been a pretty good sport, won’t you be regular burglars and let. me go. You evidently know me and you have nothing to gain by killing me,” Updyke said he told them. Let Him Go They agreed to let Updyke go and drove to Illinois and Fifty-First St., where he was hurled from the machine. Bandits promised to leave the car on Monument Circle. Motorcycle Policemen Fischer and Marlett, who were near the place where Updyke was thrown from the car pursued the Updike machine.
