The next day a federal bureau of investigation agent. and a federal communications commission agent arrived. They listened and the FCC agent looked into the juke boXx’s works.

. ‘McNeeley and two companions attempted to escape last night by sawing their way through a third-floor “ |skylight. The attempted break was {watched by officials until they were sure only three men were involved.
. Question Friends
Authorities said a number of persons, including several who represented themselves as “girl friends” of McNeeley, were being questioned. McNeeley, who faces permanent injury because of his refusal to permit. removal of a revolver slug from his hip, was visited by anumber of friends—including several girls. Police sought McNeeley’s approval to remove the bullet so that they may determine by ballistic’s tests if McNeeley was involved last July 10 in a filling station hold-up. McNeeley’s companions in the unsuccessful escape were Leroy COX, 25, New Albany, charged with issu- 4 ’ ing fraudulent checks, and Leslie Bird, 27, also of New Albany, held on auto theft charges.
