Case of Big Jewelry Hijack
Becomes Comedy of Errors
United Press International
NEW YORK (UPI) - Five
days ago even New York detec
tives grudgingly admired the
careful manner in which hi
jackers planned and staged the
biggest jewel robbery in the
city's history.
But today the golden image
of the bold bandits was turning
into brass. The miracle in Man
hattan had become a cuinedy
of errors. It was not exactly a
laughing matter, not with an
estimated $3 million worth of
loot involved, but it was a bun
gled job.
And all because of an auto
mobile that had become some
thing of a relic in these days
of automatic transmission and
power steering.
The wrong man was in the
driver's seat of the getaway
car, a station wagon loaded
with the stolen diamonds, em
eralds, rubies and gold. He was
unfamiliar with shifting gears
and could not get the car roll.
ine.
He gunned the motor and the
vehicle jerked forward a few
feet and stalled. It happened
repeatedly.
"Hey," he called to a group
of workers nearby. How do
you get this damned thing to
go?"
One of the men made a vul
gar remark. Without another
glance, the driver got out of the
station wagon and sprinted
empty-handed down the street.
The workers examined the
car and helped themselves to
the loot.
"A grab bag situation devel
oped, said Capt. Charles C.
Kilt Jr. of the detective divi
sion. "It was finders keepers."
He emphasized that many of
the workers neither witnessed
Portlander Given
10 Years in Prison
SEATTLE (UPI)-Jerome 0.
Tichenor, 25, Portland, Ore.,
was sentenced to 10 years in
prison Tuesday by U.S. Dist
rict Judge William J. Lindberg
for illegally transporting stolen
money across state lines.
Tichenor pleaded guilty of
taking about $42,000 from Belle
vue, Wash., to Oakland, Calif.,
after a robbery of the Bon
Marche department store here
March 8.
Tichenor admitted in a sinned
statement that he participated
in the robbery but he has not
hecn charged by Washington
Slute authorities with armed
robbery yet.
Richard J. Young, 37, now an
inmate at McNeil Island fed
eral penitentiary, pleaded guil
ty to the same charges Tues
day. He will be sentenced later.
the heist nor took part in the
looting, but several stuffed
handfuls of jewels diamonds,
emeralds, a few rubies Into
their pockets. They left behind
bars of jeweler's gold and the
gems they could not easily'
carry away. None returned be
cause they figured police would
show up at any minute.
Some hid the jewels in the
building being torn down.
Others took them home. One
even took gems to his weekend
farm near Gettysburg, Pa., and
buried them. Another man had
more than $200,000 worth in a
briefcase.
Real Story
Late Monday night, the real
story the story of the "badly
bungled heist began to seep
out. It came from two separate
sources. One a witness who
talked to a private detective
and the other a demolition
worker who "got a snootful" in
a Manhattan bar and talked too
much.
The demolition worker, well
in his cups, started bragging to
nis Duddy.
"We saw it all," he said.
"And we got all the loot while
the real bandits got nothing."
His buddy called police.
The other witness was a de
molition worker who, apparent
ly, had no part in the looting.
He told private detective An
thony Negri, 28, he had seen a
station wagon near the robbery
scene, beveral men were near
it, he said, looking ill at case.
One man, the witness said,
stashed a briefcase in an old
boiler lying discarded on the
lot.
Negri found the briefcase,
filled with jewels, in the boiler
and called police.
By dawn Tuesday, dozens of
detectives and FBI . agents,
dressed in neat business suits,
were probing the debris with
shovels, long poles and with
their hands.
At least five demolition work
ers admitted their part in the
looting, and led the detectives
to hiding places. Some were ac
companied home to get dia
monds and emeralds that had
been hidden in teapots and
cookie jars.
Unearthed In Ruins
Hidden jewels were unearthed
In the ruins of the building be
ing torn down. A pump was
rushed in to drain the basement
of several feet of water. A fil
ter was placed over the hose
to catch any loose gems. Some
workers didn't realize this, and
stationed themselves down
stream to catch any diamonds
that might come floating by.
Police found no gems in the
basement, but they did find
silverware knives, forks and
spoons that had not been re
ported stolen in this robbery.
Police figured they had recov
ered at least 83 per cent of the
loot. One high official said, how
ever, that not all of it was re
covered and most likely the
rest will never be found.
Electronics Pace
Mixed Stock List
NEW YORK (UPI)-Strength

otherwise narrowly mixed slock
market today.
Control Data paced the elec
tronic gainers with a jump of
more than 3 followed by point

Steels were weak. The recent

Union Carbide moved up nearly
a point each in the chemicals.
General Motors declined near

Second Major Break
Missing Coed's
Blood Spattered
Text Books Found
ALBANY, Calif. (UPI) - Po
lice today had their second ma
jor break in as many days in
the baffling disappearance of a
University of California coed
who dropped from sight 16 days
ago en route to classes in neigh
boring Berkeley.
Police late Tuesday nignt
found two text books carried by
18-year-old Judith Williamson
the morning she vanished. Both
books were splattered with
blood.
Chief Ralph Jensen confirmed
the finding of the books, but he
refused to reveal where they
were found or who found them.
We have some pretty good
leads," Jensen said, "and we
don't want to spook anybody."
Boy Kinds Umbrella
On Monday, an 11-year-old
boy turned over to police an
umbrella Judith had been car
rying the day of her disappear
ance. He said he had tound tne
umbrella in a trash can three
days after the attractive coed
was reported missing.
Discovery of the books and
the umbrella strengthened fears
by police that the girl was the
victim of an attack.
Judith left her home at 7:10
m. Oct. 29 for a five-block
walk to catch a bus for the uni
versity.
Later, two persons told oi

she walked toward the bus stop

House Dining Room Waiter Concludes Brief Fling
As Foreign Affairs Specialist on European Trip
WASHINGTON (UPI) - It
was just plain Ernest Petinaud,
head waiter, today lor the now
celebrated House restaurant
employe who enjoyed a brief
fling as a $30-a-day foreign af
fairs specialist for a congres
sional delegation in Europe.
SEHIOUS PROTECTION
ABBYVILLE, Kan. (UPD
Deer hunting in Kansas is tak
en seriously, but Paul Ehling is
just as serious abcut protecting
his horses from hunters.
Ehling posted a sign which
reads, "No trespassing, viola
tors will be shot at, if missed,
prosecuted."
The likeable Petinaud, a fix
ture at the Capitol dining room,
arrived Tuesday night from
London aboard an Air Force
jetliner with the delegation,
headed by Rep. Wayne L.
Hays, D-Ohio.
"I didn't do anything wrong,"
said Petinaud, "and I would be
ready to do It again tomorrow."
The trip wis part of his three
week vacation. He reports back
to work Monday.
Petinaud's presence on the
delegation, which attended the
NATO parliamentarian's confer
ence in Paris, triggered an up
roar when it became known
last week.

DOMINICAN ASSASSINATION PLOT TOLD
SANTO DOMINGO (UPD-The newspaper Prensa Libre said
today the Communists are plotting to assassinate government
leaders, high-ranking army and police officers and other promi
nent Dominicans.
BRAZIL EXPECTED TO JOIN AGENCY PLANS
SAO PAULO, Brazil (UPI) Delegates to an economic confer
ence here said today they believe Brazil will join other new-world
nations in plans to form an agency to coordinate U.S. aid to Latin
America.
KING HASSAN SHUFFLES CABINET
RABAT, Morocco (UPI) King Hassan II today appointed Mo
rocco's first non-royal premier in three years and chose a new
foreign minister in a cabinet shuffle apparently aimed at instill
ing new life in the government during its current border conflict
with Algeria. Justice Minister Hadj Ahmed Bahnini became pre
mier, the nation's first since the late King Mohammed V dis
missed the cabinet in I960 and took over the post of premier
himself.
PARAGUAY LIFTS 'STATE OF SIEGE'
ASUNCION, Paraguay (UPI) The government announced to
day It has terminated "state of siege" regulations In 10 of Para
guay's 14 provinces. The modified military regime, imposed to
maintain order, will remain effective in Asuncion, Itapua, Alto
Parana and Villa Hayes provinces.
sional counterpart funds were
used to pay his expenses while
he served as a "messenger and
liaison man" for Hays' group,
which included 10 other con
gressmen. Petinaud also re
ceived a free round-trip to Eu
rope, courtesy of the Air Force.
Most congressmen were reluc
tant to comment on the actions
of a colleague, but Rep. H. R.
Gross, R-Iowa, the well known
economizer, had no qualms. He
attacked the "shenanigans" of
the delegation and suggested
that the bill to boost congres
sional salaries $10,000 to $32,500
might suffer. Gross is an im
placable foe of the pay raise
measure.
Hays stoutly defended his ap
pointment of Petinaud to the
delegation staff. "Ernest was
one of the hardest workers at
the Paris conference," he said.
Hays, who was called "Ohio's
Marco Polo" by Sen. Stephen
M. Young, D-Ohio, Tuesday,
said congressional staff mem
bers normally are chosen for
duties of the type performed by
Petinaud "but Ernest had
asked me to keep in mind for
something like this. I think he
is a nice guv and he deserved
it."
Paid London Expenses
Hays said that during the del
egation's four-day stay in Lon
don he paid Petinaud's ex
penses out of his own pocket
(about $64) because "Ernest
didn't do any work in London."
Asked about the furor over
his trip, Petinaud, a white
haired Negro who speaks
French and Spanish, said, "you
can't please everybody some
people will say you shine their
shoes too brightly."
Petinaud said he enjoyed the
trip and "met many famous
people."
Twenty Air Force staff ears
whisked Hays, Petinaud and
other delegation members from

Before leaving, Hays repeat

gressman "would stand up and
identify himself and make valid
objections" to the head waiter's
temporary staff position.
