of May 30, supposedly by one of three
highwaymen in an attempted holdup.
Arthur Castor; held in jail here on
charge of passing worthless checks, is
said to be one of the highwaymen.
According to Castor's purported
statement, he and his brother Walter
had arranged with Wilkens to stage a
fake holdup ot the Wilkens automo
bile. The Castors, It is claimed by the
police were to have robbed Wilkens of
what money he had and also were to
rob Mrs. Wilkens of her jewelry.
The holdup, Arthur Castor is said to
have declared, was staged, as planned,
with Walter Castor wielding the revol
ver. In the holdup, according to the
reputed confession, a shot was fired,
but Arthur Castor is said to deny he
knew who fired it, his brother Walter,
or Wilkens.
During the robbery Arthur is report
ed to have said, it is claimed, Walter
Castor took a wallet from Wilkens.
After the holdup, continued the

empty and that Mrs. Wilkens had worn
no jewelry.

explained, he and his brother went to
the Wilkens home, where Wilkens
gave them three $100 bills.
