Thieves unloaded $1,551,277 in small bills from the mail compartment. (Globe 1962 File Photo) Year Left to Solve Great Mail Robbery By JONATHAN KLARFELD SUIT Reporter Everybody talks about the Great Mail Robbery, but nobody seems to know when anything is going to be done about it.

About the only thing definite is that if anything is going to be done in the courts, it has to be done before Aug. 15, 1967, one year from Monday. Next August, the statute of limitations runs out on the Plymouth mail robbery, the largest cash holdup in the nation's history. On Aug. 14, 1962, a muggy night, a U.S.

70 -WATT SOLID STATE STEREO HI-FI SYSTEM long Rte. 3, headed for Boston and criminal history. The truck was carrying a cash cargo $1,551,227 sent from Cape Cod banks to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. Driving was Patrick Schena of Everett. With him was a guard, William Barrett of Mansfield.

As the mail truck passed the Clark-rd. exit near Plymouth, the hijackers erected a detour barrier to keep further traffic off the northbound lane of Rte. 3. They then sped by the truck in two cars and blocked the road, about four miles north of the Clark-rd. exit.

The gang four or five of them stopped the truck and covered Schena and Barrett with submachine guns or shotguns while they bound and gagged them. When Schena and Barrett were trussed up, they were tossed into the mail compartment at the rear of the truck. Two members of the gang drove the truck, making several stops on back roads to unload portions of the loot. The bandits ditched the truck at Rte. 128 near Rte.

28 in the Randolph-Canton area. The guards freed themselves and the first alarm went to police at 10 p.m., starting an Investigation that continues today. Squads of U.S. postal inspectors went into action immediately after the robbery. Postmaster General Lawrence F.

O'Brien said Friday in Boston he understands the Post Office Department's investigation has been "pretty much completed since June, 1965." William F. White, chief postal inspector for the Boston area, says much the same thing. "Our job is investigation and referring the results to the U.S. attorney," he said. White said the decision as to when indictments will be sought is up to the U.S.

attorney's office. The U.S. attorney, Paul F. Markham, agrees things are in his hands, but says the investigation continues. Markham became U.S.

attorney July 7, when W. Arthur Garrity was elevated to Federal District Court judge. "I want to thoroughly familiarize myself with the matter," Markham said. "It's still undergoing continuing investigation." Markham said he could not give any time schedule for Grand Jury proceedings in connection with the case. "It's safe to assume the matter will be brought to a Grand Jury," he said, "but when, I don't know." None of the loot has ever been recovered and, so far, no one has been charged in connection with the case.

It is apparent the government intends to bring charges, but no one will say when or against whom. But if nothing is done in the next 365 days, nothing will be done at all.

In at least one instance, a motorist tried to cite the ruling as justification for refusing to show his driver's license to a traffic patrolman.

That's Act One. Act Two, by ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, requires the suspect to be informed before any questions are asked that: He "has the right to remain silent that anything he says can be used against him in a court of law that he has the right to the presence of an attorney, and that if he cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for him, prior to any Questioning, if he so desires." The wording is from the decision the high court handed down June 13 in the now-famous case of Miranda vs. Arizona.

It has stirr'd a storm of controversy and a good deal of confusion. Criticism ha included charges the ruling coddles the criminal and will hamstring police in the performance of their duties. To learn what police departments think of the ruling, United Press International spot checked cities throughout the country. Results show that in most cases. The police are taking pains to comply with the Supreme Court's edict.

Some are doing so very eiuctantly, with strong pro-' fsts about the bad effect on law enforcement. however have even approvingly, accepted the court's edict. say it won't help hardened criminals but will pro he is taken into custody. New York and several other cities have printed standard forms to be filled out for each interrogation, certifying that the necessary warnings were given. Cleveland is conducting a series of seminars to acquaint its police with the ruling.

In Chicago, Police Supt. Orlando W. Wilson issued a general order July 11, calling for scrupulous observance of the new rules. The order was put to the acid test only six days later when police arrested Richard Speck, accused murderer of eight student nurses.
