An 18-year-old freshman at the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology who staged a $19,000 bank robbery
near Chicago, 111., was captured in a downtown Oklahoma
City hotel early Saturday after a wild, two-month spend-
ing spree that left only $4,575 of the holdup loot.
With amazing frankness, John Robert Wagner of
Chicago confessed the August 28 robbery of the State
Rank of Richmond. 111., showed city vice squad detectives
the remainder of the money in small bills and said:

Oklahoma reeled under the worst onslaught of the
winter season Saturday as freezing rain, sleet and snow
laid icy death traps on the state's highways and bridges.
Icy roads accounted for another traffic fatality, the 1

careening automobiles crashed into bridges and overturned
into sleet-filled ditches.

second floor.
The 40 firemen who fought the I
