[A. and N-Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, July 6. The appearance in court of Edward Bryce was the culmination of one of the greatest of detective stories, with the probable recovery before the week end of £30,000 worth of loot. Last October, seven masked men robbed a mail truck of £400,000. Detective Gordon McCarthy led the pursuit and ultimately found his quarry in a high social position. Bryce and his two partners Heines and Lambert, were captured leaning against their Rolls-Royce car. Bonds worth £20,000 wore found in Bryce’s trunk, in his magnificent apartment while £lOO,OOO was dug from a foot of a tree on Long Island as indicated by Brvee. He appeared in court lop-hatted, with cane on arm and wearing a monocle. His familiar alias amongst his millionaire friends is •'rhe Count.”
