Petlikowsky, an unemployed housepainter, appeared before U.S. District Court Judge John Feikens and was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bond. He and McNally face a July 11 hearing on a government request that' they transferred to SC Louis for further proceedings. In announcing Petlikowsky's arrest, the FBI gave its fullest account yet what it believes happened before and after too hijacking and of the events leading vp to, the arrests.

Petlikowsky: and; McNally together' developed the plan to hijack plane, and made "a of to St, Louis to plan the crime, Welch said. He said St. Louis mu chosen rather than1 because the men thought security. was looser theij. and because they feared recognition here.

Petlikowsky allegedly supplied McNally with the cut down 'machinegun used to comandeer the plane. The FBI account continued: Petlikowsky drove McNally to St. Louis June 22, where McNally boarded Flight 119, carrying the gun In. an attache case. After he 'commandeered the plane on the ground, 'FBI agents came aboard dressed as mechanics but "it wasn't possible for them to stop the wjacking," Welch said.

McNally, be said, checked into a motel in Peru and made several calls petlikowsky before the second man drove to Peru Monday, picked up his alleged accomplice and returned to Detroit.

Welch said that early in its Investigation the sky Jacking, the, FBI had several suspects, including McNally, in mind. He did not say how investigators were led to those suspects. The special agent said the key break in the case came when an unidentified Detroit police officer, told the FBI he had information that a man named McNally was involved and the federal investigation tightened. Welch said the "leine on the cake" came when a A. found on the ransom note used in the hijacking matched McNally's prints on file in Washington.

Welch said the FBI obtained McNally's print when he was charged with interstate car theft' as a juvenile. Thursday evening, "Petlikowsky walked into the River Rouge, police Station indicating a desire to furnish information in the hijacking case to the FBI," Welch said. Welch a i Petlikowsky originally told agents he assisted" McNally in his return to Detroit. "After checked out his story, and its obvious inconsistencies with known facts, Petlikowsky furnished further information which, along with additional FBI in. vestigation today" led to the arrest," Welch said.
