Zirger, he learned, had been arrested and charged with the Galion robbery.
The details of the Galion holdup were similar to those of the Monroeville robbery, the newsman noticed. He passed along the information to Chief Henery. Henery called the Morrow County sheriff and informed him of the situation. The sheriff questioned Zirger, who admitted the Monroeville robbery. Morrow County Deputy Bud Bratton, who arrested Zirger after the holdup there, the young man had about $160 in his possession when arrested.
Tne robbery near Galion netted about $60, the deputy reported. Zirger's confession came after two other suspects in the Monroeville case were released from jail. The two, Allen W. Magredy, 36. and Lawrence M.
Smith, 35, were picked "up in Cleveland within three and one-half hours of the holdup, but could not be positively identified as the bandits. They had been held on suspicion since their apprehension. Both, however, said they had merely been selling books in Monroeville. They denied any part in the holdup. Mrs.
Eleanor Pifer, the waitress at O'Leary's who was the bandit's victim Wednesday, told Chief Henery she could not identify either Magredy or Smith. Mrs. Pifer went to Mount Gilead with Henery today to attempt to identify Zirger. If she makes positive indentifi- cation, Chief Henery will present Morrow County authorities with a detainer to enable him to prosecute Zirger when they are through with him.
