Thief Waits Trial After Guilty Plea

Lawrence Epps, 20-year-old Cambridge resident who confessed Sunday to the armed robbery of two College students, and a date over the Yale weekend, pleaded guilty yesterday and had his case pushed up to the Grand Jury by the third district court of Cambridge.

Booked on charges of "probable cause," Epps, whose accomplice has not yet been found, is being held for the Grand Jury on $15,000 bond.

Police testified that he robbed $19 at gunpoint from Frederick G. Torrey '49 and Miss Martha Bixler, and $7 from Carl P. Josephson '51, near the observatory November 20. Epps said he stole $7 from the couple but got nothing from Josephson.
