Police fail to link seven Chicago youths to Broadmoor robbery
Indianapolis June 1 police hours of questioning failed to connect seven men held in city prison with the $200000 Broadmoor Country Club robbery Wednesday night. Six are Chicago youths arrested in Lebanon after a 30 mile chase, the seventh rooming on North Kenwood avenue. Insurance interest grows as reward discussions start to spur the hunt for the daring gunmen. Detectives will seek continued vagrancy charges to keep pictures on file nationwide. A Cleveland address checked proved unhelpful and the Susquehanna telephone number offered no firm aid.
