Placed in ‘Al Brady Bullpen’

Because of the hour, neither Judge Hinchman nor Mayor

Allen was summoned to admit the prisoners to bail and they |

were lodged in the same “bullpen” from which the late Al Brady gang escaped a year ago. Detective O'Neal said that when the officers arrived at the jail with their prisoners, Charles (Buck) Sumner, former Marion County sheriff, was there to inquire about bail bonds. “Buck’s a good friend of mine,” the officer quoted Jacobson as saying. “I guess friends always come to help you

when vou get in jail.” :

The 32 officers were ordered to meet in their Indianap-

olis headquarters at 9:45 p. m., without knowing the nature nf their assignment, Detective O'Neal explained. They were <ummoned from the Seymour, West Lafayette, Anderson,
