score of men, women and children
witnesses to all or part of the hold
up have own questioned. Hours
were spent last night by witnesses in
going through the rogues' gallery at
Manhattan police headquarter. The
police declined to discuss the result of
this phase of their Inquiry.
Three Kingpins Suspected
One officer said three men who po
lice suspect may have had big fingers
In the robbery are being sought. This
was without further confirmation
Some credence was given to a theo
ry the crime was conceived In the
brain of some former bootlegger made
desperately poor by repeal. This theo
ry was given substance by the finding
last night of empty money bags
possibly the very bags In which the
9437,000 was being transported In che
rear of Plnnerty's bar and grlU at
3tlo Emmons avenue, Sheepshead Bay.
Brooklyn,
The 5heepshead Bay territory Is close
to that once controlled by the notori
ous Prankle Yale. It was here, too,
that Vannle Hlggtns like Yale an
eveneual victim of gang guns opera-;
ted a flourishing rum running traf
fic, using speed boats that laughed at
spasmodic pursuit.
The empty money bags were found
crammed beneath cigarette rending
machines in Plnnerty's place. They
were stamped "federal reserve" and
"Brooklyn Manhattan Transit."
Ten Strangers seen
Phil Carlo, a bartender at Plnner
ty's, said ten men whom he never had
seen before entered the barroom at .
o'clock yesterday afternoon three
hours and a half after the robbery
and had a round of beer. The num
ber of men involved Jn the holdup
has been variously fixed at between
20 and 14.
The money taken from the armored
truck consisted of sums collected At
several Brooklyn branches of the
Bank of Manhattan, as well as from
private firms. It was destined for the
federal reserve bank in Manhattan.
The robbery Is without precedent
either In air of the cash loot or In
the nature of the theft Itself, Never
before has an armored truck of the
United States trucking corporation
been robbed. The trucks themselves
have always been spoken of as "hold
up proof,"
The police have apparently no In
clination toward any theory the hold- j
up may have bet-n an "Inside job."
