And it managed to persuade O'Keefe to talk just a matter of days before the statute expired. The nearly five-year-old story of the mail robbery investigation has been one of spying, counter-spying, double dealing, payoffs and threats but none of the so-called suspects has cracked.

Four of some six suspects in the case have long ago 1 1 uri' 2" By JEROME SULLIVAN BUM Bosrter U.S. Justice Department officials, pressed for time and desperate for good hard evidence in the Plymouth mail robbery, are seeking a "Specs" O'Keef e-type informant in the case. If it is going to go to bat at all in the way of prosecution, the government must have something to present to a Grand Jury within the next three-and-a-half months. The Federal statute of limitations for prosecution of armed robbery is five years and takes effect Aug. 14 the fifth anniversary of the $1.5 million mail truck heist.

As a result, the FBI a Justice Dept. agency is going all out in a race against time to come up with an informant whose testimony will clinch the case for them.

The agents have two pos- siblities in mind. Eleven years ago they scored this way in the Brink's robbery when, with the help of Boston police and the office of Dist. Atty. Garrett H. Byrne, they prevailed on Joseph J.

"Specs" O'Keefe then in jail to tell the full story of the 1950 $1.2 million raid on the North End money transport firm. O'Keefe, of course, was a willing subject. He had been fleeced out of his share of the Brink's loot and was facing time in jail on several charges not connected with the robbery. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts had taken over jurisdiction of the case at the time because the Federal government had been unable to indict in 1953 at the close of Cambridge, who was killed in August, 1965,1 in Hayne-ville, while engaged in civil rights demonstrations.
