POLICE SEEKING MAKER OF CAGE IN ROBLES CASE Latest Kidnaping Suspect Absolved zy June: Pit Studied. R’l l iiifrd Press TUCSON. Ariz., May 19.—Detectives searched local machine shops today for a mechanic who built a corrugated-iron cage in which little June Robles was found chained nineteen days after she was kidnaped. Only a mechanic or welder, skilled in the art of handling ball hammer and late, could have constructed j the torture chamber, authorities were convinced. With no available suspects at hand, they instigated a hunt so rthe builder, believing he either was involved directly in the kidnaping or could shed some light on the anonymity of the kidnapers, j The metal box, which was sunk in a shallow pit in the desert nine miles from here, was expertly fashioned and constructed. Strips of sheet iron w r ere cut to fit the sides and ends snugly. Nails were pounded deeply into the seams with a ball hammer, a tool difficult to , handle except by a skilled hand. June was released from the cruel i torture box Monday night. An ankle ■ chain bound her fast. The only ventilation was from a small opening at the top which was lightly screened by cactus and mesquite. Hope of an early solution of the ! case faded late yesterday when June ! absolved the latest suspect, a “dude” ! rancher. He was released when he | explained his recent movements and June declared he was not the man who kidnaped her April 25 as she was walking home from school. Federal experts continued their tests of fingerprints found on the iron cage and on food containers discovered in the shallow pit. This phase of the investigation was expected to require another twentyfour hours before it could be determined if the prints are likely to lead to an early arrest. 5 PRISONERS GUILTY IN MURDER OF GUARD Quintet Faces Life Terms for Fatal Prison Break Attempt.
