Three Brighton Murder Suspects Escape Capture

William Gilday and two other suspects in the machine-gun slaying of Boston Patrolman Walter K. Schroeder in a bank hold-up Wednesday eluded a nationwide police hunt for the fifth straight day yesterday, while another fugitive, Stanley R. Bond, was apprehended in Grand Junction, Colo.

Bond, a 25-year-old Cambridge resident, is a former Brandeis University student as are Susan E. Saxe, 20, of Albany, N.Y. and Katherine A. Power, 21, of Denver, Colo.-the two other fugitives. They have been described as "revolutionaries" by police spokesmen.

The Chase

Gilday, who is 41 years old, stole two cars to avoid capture in a massive 800 man dragnet Friday. He was chased by an estimated 100 police cars and slightly wounded one of his pursuers. Saturday and Sunday police searched in vain for him in the northeastern corner of Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border.

On Wednesday morning two men and a woman entered the Brighton. Branch of the State Street Bank and TrustCo., fired several shots and left with $26,000. Patrolman Schroeder was shot in the back by a machine-gun fired from the getaway car.

A few hours later Robert Valeri, 21, was picked up in connection with the shooting at his home in Somerville. He implicated the other four, according to an FBI affidavit charging the suspects with interstate flight to avoid presecution.

Boston Police Commissioner Edmund L. McNamara said that the military supplies which were allegedly found in Power's Boston apartment showed a "positive link" between the crime and "radical, revolutionary campus groups." The military supplies were reportedly taken from the Newburyport Anmory, which was bombed a week ago Sunday.

Charles I. Schottland, acting president of Brandeis University, said the charge was "absolutely untrue. We have no evidence that they were revolutionaries."

Schottland did pledge that each of Patrolmen Schroeder's nine children would receive full scholarships from Brandeis.
