LONDON (Reuters) — Police arrested former flower - store owner Ronald (Buster) Ed- wards Monday, ending a three- year international hunt for the man they suspect was the mas- termind hehind Britain's great train robbery. of 1963.

A police car sped through de- serted south London streets at 2 a.m. Monday to pick up one | of the world's men, who may_hold the clue -to missing £2,000,000 ($6,000.- oon).

One theory was that,. tired of the hunt and .short of | _ money, he arranged with the police to give himself up.
