PART OF LOOT RECOVERED
Revolvers and Guns Found in Search of Apartment - $ 850 Found
Detroit, Mich., April 2 - Two alleged bank bandits and the sweetheart of one were held by police today after being trapped in an appartment.
The two men are alleged to have held up the Kokomo, Ind., State bank last week and escaped with $9,400. Part of the loot was found in the apartment.
Those held are Frank Mason, alias Harry; Thaddeus R. Skeer, and Louise Brummer. Louise is said to be the sweetheart of Skeer. She came here from Fort Wayne, Ind., Saturday.
Revolvers and guns were found under pillows, in the closets and drawers of the bureaus. Mason was found to have $850 in new $100 and $50 bills and the Brummer girls had a number of valuable diamond rings and other jewelry.
