A man suspected of murder and robbery in Alabama was arrested when his teen-age girlfriend tried to buy railroad tickets at Los Angeles Union Station. Acting on a tip that Charles Knight, 21, was in Los Angeles and planned to leave by train, railroad police posed as ticket agents and undercover officers staked out the vicinity. Officers took the girl, a juvenile, into custody inside the building and arrested Knight as he waited in a car outside. In addition to a series of robberies and gangland-style slayings in Birmingham, police said Knight is also suspected of similar crimes in Syracuse, N.Y.
