Newark micht club robw-ry in
Mhich four persons were slain
last fall.
New Jersey officers were en-
mute to CuldM'etl. in South Central
Texas, to return Yannuzzi to New-
ark.
Two of his gunmen colleagues

ployes of the niltht spot in the gun-
battle at NeMark last Aug. *.
Two other of the gang—"a bunch
of wise guys Mho thought they
wen* better than anybody else,"
according to Yannuzzi have been
sentenced to die in the electric
chair.
Yannizzu escaped and made his
May to Texas, where he fount! em-

small, nearby town of Somerville.
Burleson county sheriff l'!e\e
Bates arrested Yuunuzzi there, ac-
tinic on a tip from NeMark after
the onetime golden gloves and pro-
fessional fighter had signed his
correct name and address to a

Today, the contrite lannuzzi
faced a microphone in his jail cell
and gave a recorded intervieM- w ith
reporters from radio station
KWH1 at Brenham, Tex.
"I'm glad the suspense of wait-
i*iir is over. I'm ready to u" baek

"I probabiy M-ould have gone

He Mas armed during the nijfht
club robbery, Yannuzzi said, but
M'hen the shoting started he
"blacked out" and "I didn't knoM
Mhat happened until later."
Yannuzzi made lots of friends
at Somerville, and they shoMeied
him with candy and cigarettes and
fruit in his jail cell. Some were
talkinir about circulating a petition
in his behalf.
Hut. said Kocky, "I don't care
Mhat happens to me. I would like

Two TCL* students sin sent to
the farmhouse yesterday to inves-
tigate, und they found Lord's body
in u hi-droom at the rear of the
house.
Last knoMn person to see Lord
alive was Billy Glenn Walker, a
Burleson cafe owner. He said th*
professor bought a loaf of bread
and a package of peanut butter
sandwiches. The time was late af-
ternoon—5 p. m. to 5i3l> p. m.,
Walker said.
Reconstructing the killing, John-
son county officers theorised that
Lord Mas slain upon his arrival
home a short time later.
They believed that the slayer
leaped upon Lord from a closet in u
bedroom at the front of the house.
There Mas some tendency to the
belief that the weapon might have
been a stick of wood or something
less sharp than a hatchet.
(Nothing identifiable as a wea-
pon. however, had been located in
the house or in the immediate vi-
cinity.)
