Danville police announced the arrest of three hard to find suspects with two more at large. Robert Kennedy, 21, was captured after failing to appear in Corporation Court on petit larceny and malicious damage charges. He faces contempt of court and had eluded bondsmen and investigators, with reports of his presence in Washington and at 1107 Abbott St. A Negro couple, Luther Smith and Louise Marie Smith, were arrested in Fresno for a $5,500 flim flam scheme that bilked Arthur Graves of his savings by offering a bank job.
