The men were arrested in a place roundup in a rooming house at Fifth and Freemont Sts., where it is claimed by the police they had congregated for the purpose of conducting the robbery, which was scheduled for tonight or early tomorrow. The other two men arrested were found on information given by members of the first gang arrested. The alleged gangsters were reported to have been planning other " jobs" beside the La Habra bank. A number of pawn tickets and pistols were found. Officers believe more "contraband" will be uncovered if an asserted hiding place of the group can be brought to light. Connection of this group with the Tustin bank robbery last week was a subject of investigation of the Los Angeles police, it was declared. William Esphalt, until four days ago president of the bank who was succeeded by Louis Muchow, scoffed at the idea of the alleged plotters getting a large sum as the bank makes it a habit to send the bulk of its liquid resources to Los Angeles banks. Other officials of the institution think there is some mistake in naming the bank in the proposed raid. GAGE CONTESTS POLICE CHARGE Andrew Gage, of Fullerton, charged with disturbing the peace, was putting up a stiff fight today before a jury in Judge French's court. W.

Two years ago Mr. Pruitt and Miss Frances Schmidt were united in marriage at a pretty wedding in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wagner, of Placentia, the ladies being sisters. For a time the young couple lived in Anaheim as Mr. Pruitt was employed in Richfield oil fields. About one year ago they moved to Long Beach where they have resided since. Mrs. Louisa Schmidt, Mrs. Pruitt's mother, resides in Anaheim. Other officials of the institution think there is some mistake in naming the bank in the proposed raid. GAGE CONTESTS POLICE CHARGE Andrew Gage, of Fullerton, charged with disturbing the peace, was putting up a stiff fight today before a jury in Judge French's court. Jake Diest of the Fullerton police department was the complaining witness, and the triumph is the aftermath of an affair that occurred some time ago on So. Spadra-rd. in which Gage is alleged to have abused the officers and used profane and vulgar language for having arrested Jack Dunlap, a friend of his. Gage on the other hand affirms that he did nothing of the kind, that he raw Dunlap being roughly handled by members of the sheriff's force and hollowed to him, "I'm with you, Jack," not knowing that they were officers. He alleges that upon this, without further provocation, Deputy Sheriff McClelland jumped onto him with a black-jack and beat him unmercifully and, perhaps, would have killed him had not the top of the car broken the force of the blows. The trial was expected to last all day.
