Lowell House Gangs Up On Thief, Nab Him After Chase

A smooth-working young sneak thief made a serious mistake by picking Lowell House, "famous for its brains and bells," as his victim. The Cambridge youth, known only as "Bob White" for whom he asked when he found someone in a room, stole cameras, radios, and money from a number of Bellboys.

Last Friday afternoon he was trapped in the most thorough manhunt ting him when he entered the court Harvard has seen in a decade. Spot-the Lowell men threw a net of athletic huskies around the building and then, joined by four yardcops, began a three-quarters of an hour chase through the entries and basement tunnels. Once he was trapped in a fifth floor closet but escaped again for the moment. Finally caught he attempted to bluff his way out but was taken to the Cambridge jail and held for trial.
