sodomy and was being held in
the Cobb County jail. 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.
Federal agents said the two
men escaped Sept. 21, 1972,
from the Adell Correctional
Institute in Rhode Island.

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.
