HUNTFOR BIGGS
Police watch at funeral (N.Z. Press Assn — Copyright) MELBOURNE, Jan. 6. Plainclothes Federal and State police will mix with people attending the funeral on Friday of Nicholas Biggs, a son of Ronald Biggs, one of the Great Train Robbery
gang. They will keep a close watch for Biggs, or any of his known associates. They think that although Biggs is unlikely to appear himself, he may try to send a message through a friend. Mrs Biggs, who after the car accident in which her son was killed, was admitted to hospital using the name of “Brent,” said: “Now I must devote myself to the other two boys.”
