Lewis Clue Will Solve Theft, Police Hope

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Police yesterday acted on several leads to tighten their not around two Coop bandits still at large while the Cambridge District Court slapped $50,000 bail on a newly-arrested suspect.

The prisoner, booked as Jacob "Jack" Lewis, was captured last Friday in a raid on a South End hotel. Held for questioning over the weekend, he was arraigned yesterday morning and pleaded not guilty to charges of participation in January's smoke-bomb holdup.

Nick Mavrides, Cambridge nightclub operator, had been arrested previously and is still being held for $120,000 bail.

Police Expect Fast Results

As a result of Lewis' arrest, police expect to round up the rest of the gang shortly and to recover most of the missing money. $15,000 of it has already turned up in safe deposit boxes at Newton and Boston banks.

Lewis, who has a record of 30 convictions, was released from State Prison in 1941, where he had served a term for carrying a concealed weapon and possessing burglars tools. Detectives closed in on him Friday after hearing that he had just returned from a hurried out-of-town trip.

The case is expected to arrive before a grand jury within a month.
