Fred Rothermel, 23, of 1471 Second Avenue, Manhattan, the third of the alleged bandits who, on March 19. held up and robbed the First National Bank of F'reeport, was finally turned over to the Nassau County authorities yesterday. Since the day of the rob¬ bery, he had been in the Jamaica Hos pital, suffering from a shot wound through the right shoulder. He was shot while attempting to escape from Patrolman Charles Wandling, of the Jamaica Precinct.
Rothermel wa^ arraigned in the Ja maica Police Court yesterday. He was so weak as a result of his wound that he had to be assisted to the house. On Assistant District Attorney William F. Ryan's recommendation, two minoi charges were dismissed by Magistrat Conway, in order that a deputy sher¬ iff from Nassau County might re-ar¬ rest him and take him to the Nassau County Jail at Minco'a
In connection with his arraiignn ent, it became known that Detectives Pat rick Kehoe, Charles Harden and Christopher Mehling, of the Jamaica Precinct, have connected RoiAermel and Henry Berman, another of the alleged Freeport bandits, with the wholesale thefte of trucks from the Westcott Express Company, in Man-

Confronted by the officers, Rother¬ mel broke down yesterday artdcon- fessed the theft, Kehoe says. Then, when Kehoe accompanied Rothermel to the jail at Mineola, he" put it up" to Berman, and the latter also finally confessed, the detective says.
So, after they get over their trou¬ bles in Nassau County, Rothermel and Berman will probably be charged in Manhattan with despoiling the ex¬ press company?' Brownsft'in, it ap¬ pears, was not ooncerned in the rob¬ beries, having: joined the other two only on the Freeport "job."—Times.
Henry Berman pleaded guilty to the charge of robbery in ~the first degree and was sentenced by Judge Lewis J. Smith in the Nassau County Court on Monday to not less than ten nor more than twenty years in the penitentiary, the maximum penalty for the crime.
