Four Hundred Thousand Peace Party Dollars Stolen
In Wilmington a bag of stock certificates valued at about 750000 dollars was stolen from a mall pouch en route from the post office to the railroad station. Albert and Earl Johnson, drivers, were arrested after $350000 of the certificates were found hidden. Police believe the robbers acted as the drivers’ accomplices and that the securities were meant for New York brokers. The men are held on 3000 bail each and a federal inquiry continues.
