Brink's Jury
Studies Models
BOSTON (IP)—Jurors trying the eight Brink's robbery defen
dants craned forward intently today as an FBI agent explained
two large scale models of the North Terminal Garage and the
Brink's Inc., office where a masked band stole $1,219.000 on Jan. 17,
1950.
Special Agent Leo J. Gauth
he supervised construction of the
two three-dimensional models. He
said such work was his FBI spe
cialty.
One model, an exterior of the
garage on Terminal street in the
garage end of Boston was built to
a scale of one-eighth of an inch
equals one foot, Gauthier said.
The other, built to a scale of
one-half inch to the foot, repre
sented the second floor of the
garage occupied by Brink's as it
existed the night of the rob
bery.
The table top models were
wheeled into the center of the
courtroom space in front of the
jury box. and as Gauthier point
ed out various features, jurors
leaned forward, and those in the
rear row stood up to peer at the
exhibits.
The unusual Saturday session
began promptly at 10 a.m. with
Boston Police Detective John T.
Hommel on the stand under cross
examination by Paul T. Smith,
chief defense counsel.
Smith questioned Hommel
about what he did after he found
some strands of ropes on the
Brink's floor around 8 or 8:30 on
the night of the robbery.
Hommel said he kept the rope
in his possession and that he
did not lay it out on the floor.
Smith then moved to strike
the rope as an exhibit, explain
ing that a police photographer
who testified earlier, said he
took a picture of the rope Ice
the floor - shortly before mid
night.
Judge Felix Forte denied the
motion saying he would leave the
point up to the jury.
Hommel had testified concern
ing a visored cap, strips of adhe
sive tape and strands of rope he
said he saw in the Brink's vault
room when he answered the rob
bery alarm.

West German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's new bid for secret
diplomatic negotiations for Ger

In notes to Washington, London,

The proposal offered to link

Germany.

Then she crumbled.
Her husband, an $BO-a-week
