Monday morning at 7 a.m., Gilday loaded a shotgun from Thomas Huberdeau's hunting equipment into the Huberdeau car and drove off, taking Thomas, 22, and his sister Cathy, 19, along as hostages.

Every half hour he stopped to phone the Huberdeau residence warning them not to call the police or he would kill the hostages. After two hours of driving, the three pulled off the road at the Millbury-Worcester line to get coffee and doughnuts at Mrs. Mack's Bakery.

By this time, however, the family had contacted relatives who called the police and a squad car had the trio under surveillance. The roadblock was set up in Billings Square in Worcester where all exits were covered.

As the car pulled up in the middle of the Square, a motorcycle policeman bolted across its path and Gilday cased to a stop. As police closed in, he handed his gun to Thomas Huberdeau and said "Now make them believe you captured me, I want to give myself in."

Neil T. Friedman, Brandeis sociology professor, has been suspended from all teaching responsibilities, Brandeis announced late Monday night. Although Friedman was mentioned in the State Street Bank holdup as the man who Susan Saxe said had gotten her a bookstore job in Portland, the University said the charges were unconnected with the robbery. The letter of complaint was mailed to Friedman the day before the holdup. The complaint charged "gross negligence and malfeasance" involving a statement he made to students last spring urging them to throw dirt and mud on acting president Charles I. Scotland.

Crowds gathered outside the Boston police station and Brighton district court this afternoon awaiting the arrival of robbery suspect Lefty Gilday. Outside the police station, about 300 persons watched the suspect as he entered the station under a heavy armed guard. When he emerged a few hours later, the crowd had swelled to nearly 700. A few shouted "Right On, Gilday" and "Off the Pigs." Others responded with "Kill him, kill him." "Pathetic," one policeman snorted as he heard the "right on" chants.

Gilday appeared before Brighton District Court for 18 minutes and pleaded innocent to all charges. His case was continued until October 6.

Patrolmen armed with telescopic lens rifles appeared on rooftops surrounding the Charles Street Jail late today and extra security guards were added around the building after Boston police superintendent William A. Bradley said he had been tipped that a "radical group" might try to free Gilday.

Tuesday, September 29:

Winfield S. Power, father of robbery suspect Kathy Power, suffered a heart attack at his job in Denver today. His wife, Mrs. Marjorie Power, issued a statement from her home which said: "Kathy, please contact us. Your father collapsed this morning at work and is in the hospital. Please get in touch with us in any way you possibly can."

The parents of Susan Saxe today received a letter from their daughter which they described as "very remorseful." The letter contained a ring handed down to Susan from her mother and her grandmother. A second letter went to the girl's rabbi.

Late Tuesday night, police arrest Michael S. Fleisher, 21, a Brandcis graduate student and former leader in the student strike information center, on charges of being an accessory after the fact.

Fleisher flew from Boston to Philadelphia late Thursday morning using his own name on a commercial flight. He went directly to his parents' home in Philadelphia where he was contacted shortly by FBI agents in Philadelphia. In the next few days, he continued to answer FBI questions, according to his lawyer Benjamin Lerner, and returned to his home Tuesday when he heard of the warrant for his arrest.

With his arrest, Fleisher becomes the sixth suspect in the robbery-slaying. The FBI affidavit issued for his arrest alleges that he was present with all five suspects in the apartment of Kathy Power at 163 Beacon St. on the day before the robbery, stayed the night and was present while plans for the robbery were discussed.

It also stated that Fleisher was present when guns were loaded into cars allegedly involved in the robbery and also when the group counted the money, discussed a bank robbery, and when Power, Saxe, and Bond departed in a red Volkswagen fastback.

Fleisher met with the two girls, Kathy Power and Susan Saxe, and Stanley Bond in a Philadelphia hotel room the next day where they were registered under the name of Sheldon Gelman, according to the affidavit.
