Baltimore, Maryland, January 18th, 1925.

Four alleged members of a bandit gang, indicted on charges of assault and robbery, were returned yesterday

from Philadelphia. Two women arrested with him also were brought here. The six were taken

to police headquarters where they were questioned by Charles H. Burns, captain of detectives. Later,

they were locked up at the Central Police Station.

Another alleged member of the gang is held at the Southwestern Police Station.

The men brought from Philadelphia gave the following names.

Richard Rees Whitmore, 1700 block North Monroe Street, Baltimore, and 2,000 block Green Street, Philadelphia,

Julius Schaefer, West Lexington Street, Albert Bohart, alias Al-Awlot, West Fayette Street,

and Joseph Dietz, East Madison Street.

The women gave the names of Miss Marion Davis, alias Mary Craig,

who, police say, is the daughter of a clergyman in Richmond, Virginia,

and Mrs. Margaret Whitmore, who is said to be wife of Richard Whitmore.

All of the men will be questioned concerning seven holdups and robberies, besides the robbery of four men in the cafe of John Gaffney,

January 5th, the case in which they were indicted.

Both women under arrest wore fur coats. Mrs. Whitmore carried a white poodle.

Miss Davis is known to police here as Chick Davis. Phillips, according to police,

admitted the Gaffney holdup, but said he did not know the others who had participated in the affair.

Captain Burns said last night the prisoners would not be questioned again until tomorrow.
