He was accused of the theft of “several hundred dollars” from a Cobb County residence, where he allegedly also committed the rape Tuesday evening. Cobb County Detective J.D. Sayre said Wilson was picked up Wednesday following about a month-long investigation of the suspect in connection with other crimes in the area. Wilson also was identified as one of two men wanted in connection with the robbery of a branch of the Merchants and Farmers Bank in Meridian, Miss., in August. He was also named in a federal warrant for bank robbery in Oakton, Va. More than $33,000 was taken in the Aug. 13 holdup in Mississippi. The FBI in Jackson, Miss., said Wilson and Robert Oliver Lewis were indicted by a federal grand jury earlier this month on bank robbery char ges. Lewis is still at large.

Money found under concrete By GEORGETTE WAGNER CHICAGO (UPI) — Some $2.2 million of the $4.3 million in cash taken in the Armored Express vault burglary was found Thursday night under a five-inch layer of concrete in the basement of a home owned by the grandmother of one of the suspects. U.S. Attorney James R. Thompson said the money, taken in the biggest cash heist in American history, was recovered by agents of the FBI, the Illinois Bureau of Investigation and local police. The cash, in an assortment of $lO, S2O, SSO and SIOO bills, filled five Army duffel bags. It was found in a seven-foot-deep hole in the basement of a home owned by Dorothy Marrera, the grandmother of Ralph Marrera, an Armored Express security guard accused of being the inside man in the Oct. 20 heist. The grandmother was not suspected of complicity in the crime, Thompson said. Thompson said the hole was covered over by a layer of concrete reinforced with chicken wire. He said agents, armed with a warrant from a U.S. magistrate, went to the unoccupied house Thursday night and tore up the floor in search of the missing cash. Thompson refused to say what led police to the money. The recovery, Thompson said, was “far beyond what I thought we would be able to recover.” Thompson noted that the recovery was “one of the largest cash recoveries in the history of the United States.” Six men have been arrested and charged in the burglary of the security company’s vault, where about $25 million Page 3 had been stored for the weekend. Only about $39,000 of the money had been recovered before Thursday night, about $29,000 of it coming from two suspects, Pasquale Charles Marzano and Luigi DiFonzo — the alleged mastermind of the heist —when the two were arrested by British authorities on Grand Cayman Island in the British West Indies Oct. 30. The pair flew to the island a few days after the burglary, reportedly carrying cash-ladened suitcases past custom officials. The FBI has said it believes that about $1.5 million of the loot is stored in the island’s stronghold banks, but an judge on the island’s high court has ruled that American authorities could not look into five bank accounts where the money was believed to be stashed. The four others indicted in the crime have been identified as Marzano’s cousin, William Anthony Marzano, Peter Gushi, a self-styled master criminal, Ralph Marrera and James Maniatis. Marrera was the guard on duty at the time of the burglary and Maniatis allegedly supplied the van in which the loot was hauled away. The six are charged with burglarizing the vault and replacing the stolen 800 pounds of cash with plastic bags containing gasoline and equipped with time fuses. The fire bombs went off, but fizzled because of lack of oxygen in the vault. Authorities said that had the firebombs been successful in destroying the remaining money, the theft might never have been uncovered and the loss may well have been written off as fire damage. — Griffin Daily News Friday, November 22, 1974 Meat cutters on strike RALEIGH (UPI) - The strike of some 550 union meat cutters and butchers employed by Colonial Stores Inc. in North and South Carolina is likely to drag on for a long time, union and company officials predicted Thursday.
