5 September 1928
WIFE ENACTS KNIFE KILLING, ADMITS GUILT
Mrs. Bessie LENSKY Shows Police How She Slew Husband.
Moved to tearful confession by sympathy, Mrs. Bessie LENSKY, 31, of 17
Whipple street, to-day admitted the breadknife killing of her husband,
Samuel, 33, after having steadfastly accused Mrs. Mary V. BEHREND, 38, of 439
Central avenue.
Then she went with Mrs. BEHREND and Detectives WOLTER and JENNER, of
Clymer street station, to her home and re-enacted the tragedy, describing in
detail the jealousy conference and its fatal termination.
"I saw red when my husband confessed to me he was unfaithful," Mrs.
LENSKY is quoted as saying to Police Inspector John J. SULLIVAN, who drew the
admission from her by his denunciation of Mrs. BEHREND as a homewrecker.
"I did not mean to kill him," she said. "That was a mistake. I lunged
at Mrs. BEHREND."
The knife and LENSKY were missing at the re-enactment. The weapon,
Mrs. LENSKY said, she tossed from a window after washing blookstains from it.
Inspector SULLIVAN reached his solution of the killing in a twenty
minute interview with both women. He took charge of the case when detectives,
puzzled by the accusatioons of each woman against the other filed charges of
homicide against both.
Breaks Down, Confesses
Mrs. BEHREND did not reply to SULLIVAN's rebuke, but Mrs. LENSKY burst
into sobs, and standing up said, according to the inspector:
"You are such a fair man and you understand things so well, I am going
to tell you the whole truth. I stabbed my husband."
After drawing from both woman details of the killing and the
friendshhip of Mrs. BEHREND and LENSKY that led up to it, the inspector
turned them over to detectives for the visit to the kitchen where the killing
occurred.
There Mrs. LENSKY took a position by the refrigerator and described
the stormy triangular interview held there yesterday afternoon.
Sneered at Dying Man
Mrs. BEHREND disagreed with her on some details. She asserted Mrs.
LENSKY laughed and sneered at her husband as he staggered away saying, "You
hure[as written] me Bess."
Under her hand on the ice box during the interview, Mrs. LENSKY said,
was a copy of the book, "God's Stepchild," which her husband had given her to
read.
When LENSKY finally admitted his friendship with Mrs. BEHREND and
denounced her, after both had denied the suspicious wife's accusations,
according to Mrs. LENSKY, her rival became furious threatening to kill
LENSKY and ran at him, reaching for his throat.
Describes Killing
"When she ran towards Sam, Mrs. LENSKY said, "I ran over to the table,
pulled open the drawer and took out the bread knife. She pushed me away and
the knife went into Sam's chest."
After washing the knife, Mrs. LENSKY said, she became hysterical and
"everything grew black."
Detectives said they drew from Mrs. BEHREND an admission that her
acquaintance with LENSKY began some months ago when she handed him a note
bearing her name and address and the invitation "Call on me some time" as she
boarded a Park avenue trolley on which he was motorman and conductor.
Several days ago, Mrs. LENSKY learned of the visits her husband was
making to the apartment of Mrs. BEHREND, who is separated from her husband.
Police say a family acquaintance, Dave RUBENFELD of 295 Stanhope street was
her informant.
When Mrs. BEHREND denied her accusation upon a visit to the woman,
Mrs. LENSKY said, she insisted that Mrs. BEHREND confront her husband. After
an earlier tryst at which LENSKY did not appear because he was working
overtime, the meeting yesterday afternoon was arranged.
Describing the start of that, Mts. LENSKY said:
"I said to my husband, 'Sam, dear, show this woman that you love me.
You tell her how many times you went to see her. Tell her, as you told me,
how she pestered you by getting on your trolley and tell her how she gave you
keys to her apartment so you could visit her."
Reproached by Rival
Then, she said, LENSKY looked at Mrs. BEHREND, called her "a dirty
rat" and a "skunk" and said:
"You are the one that caused all this trouble. You always ran after
me. You never let me alone."
Mrs. BEHREND jumped to her feet, cursing LENSKY, Mrs. LENSKY said, and
the stabbing followed.
While the two women remained in the third floor kitchen, LENSKY
staggered to the street and dropped unconscious in front of 13 Whipple
street, where he was picked up by Patrolman James Smith of Clymer street
station. He died in Cumberland Street Hospital shortly after without making a
statement.
Both women's clothes were bloodstained when police arrived and
arrested them. With no accusation from LENSKY to guide them and no weapon to
be found in order to obtain fingerprints, detectives were puzzled when the
two women continued through long questioning to accuse each other of the
killing. Each explained the bloodstains on her garments by saying she had
pushed the other away from LENSKY after the stabbing.
Police then filed homicide charges against both, accusing them of
acting in concert. The charge against Mrs. BEHREND will be withdrawn,
Inspector SULLIVAN said after the confession by Mrs. LENSKY, and she will be
held as a material witness.
The remark by SULLIVAN to Mrs. BEHREND that inspired Mrs. LENSKY's
statement was:
"Don't you think it was unfair to break up another home just because
your own was broken up?"
Police say Mrs. BEHREND has been seperated from her husband five years
and that their married life was ....... [remainder missing]
ELLIN BERLIN AT OLD HOME AS HER GRANDMOTHER DIES
Death Brings Song Writer's Wife to Roslyn for First Time Since Marriage -
Clarence MACKEY on High Seas
Mrs. Marie MACKAY, mother of Clarence H. MACKAY, capitalist died
during last night at Harbor Hill, the MACKAY home at Roslyn, L. I. Death was
due to heart disease.
Mrs. MACKAY, who was about eighty-five years old, was the widow of
John W. MACKAY and the daughter of the late Col. HUNGERFORD. At her bedside
were her three grandchildren, Mrs. Kenneth O'BRIEN, Mrs. Irving BERLIN and
Mrs. John W. MACKAY.
Funeral arrangements will not be made until the arrival of Mrs.
MACKAY's son, Clarence H. MACKAY, who sailed to-day on the Majestic from
England.
This is the first time Mrs. BERLIN has visited her father's home since
her marriage to BERLIN incurred MACKAY's wrath. Despite reports that a
reconciliation had been effected, no move had been made by MACKAY.
In Bed Since Sunday
Mrs. MACKAY had been in comparatively good health lately, considering
her age. She developed a slight indisposition a few days ago and had been
confined to bed since Sunday. During the succeeding days her condition
underwent little change until some time last night when she suffered a severe
heart attack. After that she lost strength rapidly and died a little before
midnight.
Information concerning Mrs. MACKAY's illness was cabled to Clarence H.
MACKAY in London on Sunday and he booked passage for New Yodk. After he had
sailed on the Majestic to-day, news of his mother's death was sent to him by
radio. In his reply he directed that funeral arrangements be withehld until
he arrived in New York.
Call For Priest
It was learned at St. Mary's Church, Roslyn, that someone from the
MACKAY home called about 10 o'clock last night to ask a priest to go to the
MACKAY home, presumably to administer the last rites of the church to Mrs.
MACKAY. Both priests were engaged elsewhere and could not be reached
immediately, so callers left. It was thought they may have gone to a church
in Manhasset.
The representatives of the MACKAY family then went to St. Mary's
Church, Manhasset. The Rev. Francis COPPINGER, the rector, went with them to
Harbor Hill. He administered the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church at
about 11:30 P. M. Mrs. MACKAY was at that time in a comative condition.
Father COPPINGER laft soon after the end of the ceremony.

Fifty-fifth avenue (Lewis avenue), Elmhurst.

Coincident with identification to-day of the body of the young woman
found dead Aug. 14, at Sixty-fifth street and Twelfth avenue, as that of

arrested a man described as James LONGO, a taxicab driver, of 69 Tompkins
street, Manhattan, who later was held in Fifth avenue court in $1,000 bail on
a charge of transporting a body without a permit.
Mystery was attached to the case for two weeks while the body lay in

body was that of his half-sister.
Several examinations, including one by the medical examiner, were made
to discover the cause of death. The verdict finally was that the girl died of
natural causes.

Angelo TREZZA and Thomas McQUILLEN.

BANDIT DIES IN GUN FIGHT AFTER CHASE
Cornered in Garage, Frank GALLAGHER Shoots, It Out With Policemen.
Trailed to a garage and trapped there after a holdup in Manhattan,
Frank GALLAGHER, 30, was slain to-day in a revolver duel with Patrolman James
A. CRONIN, of 20 Bethune street, after wounding Samuel STEIN, 30, of 127
Harrison avenue, Brooklyn.
A policeman only ten months and now trying for a special mark in
target shooting, CRONIN won high praise from his superior officers for his
work. STEIN also was commended for his part in the affair.
It was he who took up the chase after GALLAGHER, who was with another
man and two married women in an automobile.
STEIN saw one of the men fire a shot. He trailed the bandit car in his
taxicab until he met CRONIN. Notified by STEIN of the shooting, CRONIN hopped
on to the running board of the taxi and followed the other car for half a mile.
Battle on Ramp
The chase led from Forty-fifth street and Ninth avenue, Manhattan,
where CRONIN was on duty when STEIN drove along to Thirty-fourth street and
Ninth avenue, then half a block on Thirty-fourth street. The car then entered
a garage and went to the second floor on a ramp. STEIN drove up the ramp
after it, and CRONIN stepped off the running board and approached the men,
who had alighted from the autmobile.
"Which one of you had a gun?" the policeman asked.
"Let him have it." said GALLAGHER's companion, who fled as the bandit
drew a revolver and fired. The bullet hit GALLAGHER's fore- [Note-This last
seems to be misplaced as it is repeated later, and some other info omitted]
and grazed his abdomen.
CRONIN replied with one shot. The bullet hit GALLAGHER's fore-head and
dropped him, dead.
As the brief battle was waged the two women remained sitting in the
rumble seat of the roadster, screaming. They described themselves as Mrs.
Edna KLEMME, 25, of St. Alban's Hotel, West Fifty-eighth street, Manhattan,
mother of three children, and Mrs. Helen FERMINE, 21 of 146 St. Anns avenue,
Bronx. They said they did not know their companions names, and had gone out
with them last night on a telephone invitation, having met the men recently
at a party.

ROPE CAUSED DEATH OF BOY SLAIN IN CONEY ISLAND
Victim's Brother-in-Law Charges Two Men Murdered 6-Year-Old
Revenge Motive Seen
Tightly-Bound Body is Found in Burlap Sack in Backyard
For the murder of six-year-old Salvatore "Sonny" SANTAMARCO, four men,
one of them his brother-in-law, were arraigned this morning in Brooklyn
Homicide Court.
Luigi PANARIELLO, 30 years old, a longshoreman, 2768 West Fifteenth
street, Coney Island, is the brother-in-law. He is charged with homicide and
so are Jerry PERINO, 32, 2773 West Sixteenth street; John MORESCO, 30, same
address, Pasquale BORELLO, 35, 2712 West Sixteenth street.
Police admit that preferment of charges against the latter three is a
matter of form. It is at PANARIELLO they point accusatory fingers.
An autopsy was performed in the Kings County Morgue by Dr. M. E.
MARTIN which showed death was due to asphyxiation from ropes drawn tautly
over the boys throat. There were no other signs of violence.
A distinct change was noted in PANARIELLO's attitude when brought into
the Distrrict Attorney's office before arraignment in Homicide Court. He
looked frightened and confused, in contrast to his previous demeanor.
It was in the back-yard of his own home that PANERIELLO voluntarily
disclosed the body of his little brother-in-law, "hog-tied" with ope,
stuffed in sack and hidden under a mound of stones.
Accused Two Others
PANARIELLO blames MORESCO and PERINO for the murder. He says they
killed the boy because his father owed them money and that they buried the
body in the back-yard. But police have heard other stories.
Fannie PANARIELLO, 15, sister of "Sonny" and wife of the accused man,
says because she left him after a year of marital unhappiness, he threatened
to "get even" with her and her family.
Shortly before 6 o'clock last night, in a police squad room, Joseph
SANTAMARCO, father of the murdered boy, broke away from detectives and struck
PANARIELLO on the lips from which laconically dropped:
"Alright, I'll tell you--. The boy is dead. I'll show you the body."
Detectives grasped the elder SANTAMARCO again a few moments later when
he peered with failing eye-sight (two years ago he started to lose his
vision) into the gloom of PANARIELLO's backyard at a mound of stones and
heard him unemotionally affirm: "It's under there."
It was.
When the stones were removed the sack containing the boy's body was
disclosed. A rope had been passed around his neck and then between his legs,
and eight coils ensnared the boy's shoulders and throat. His nose was broken
also.
Inspector John H. SULLIVAN, chief of Brooklyn Detectives, Assistant
District Attorney John ENO; Detectives Anthony GRIECO and William ANDERSON,
Lt. Robert DUGAN and Acting Captain John RYAN, chief of Tenth Division
Detectives, pieced together their theory and it is 'Kidnapping, then murder."
Gave Boys Pennies
Wednesday morning, with his brother Tommy, 8, "Sonny" left
their home to visit PANARIELLO. Although he was separated from their sister
and had quarreled with her - even beat her, according to her story - the boys
liked him. He gave them pennies.
Tommy says PANARIELLO gave him some money to buy a cigar. Tommy went
for the cigar, leaving "Sonny" behind with PANARIELLO. With the cigar (and
five pennies carefully gotten in the change) Tommy hurried back. PANARIELLO
gave him three pennies. Sonny's fingers closed on two. Tommy says that
PANARIELLO again sent him to the store for candy.
He returned, he says, with the candy. "Sonny" wasn't around. "Where is
Sonny?" he asked PANARIELLO. "Oh," was the reply. "He's gone home."
Satisfied with this explanation, spendthrift Tommy departed to get rid of his
three pennies.
That night there was at the SANTAMARCO's great supper table the
father, the mother, Angeline; Antoino, the eldest son, 19 years old; Fannie;
(PANARIELLO's estranged wife); Tessie, 14; Camilia, 12; Lucy, 2 and Tommy.
But no Sonny.
Sonny was a neighborhood pet and could often be found at some
neighbor's home when he was supposed to be home, so at first no alarm was fe
lt over his absence. But by and by Joseph SANTAMARCO got worried. He went to
the police.
They told him not to worry. They told him Sonny would be home.
But the next morning SANTAMARCO was frantic. The police were wrong.
Sonny hadn't come home. The father talked some-time with police and told them
that Sonny had been seen last at PANARIELLO's home. Police got busy.
PANARIELLO was called into the stationhouse but later was released.

brother, Salvatore, 6, because "big sister" Fannie, fifteen year old wife,
refused to live with Luigi PANTARIELLO, accused by police of he crime. Thomas
is too young to realize the tragedy of his brother's disappearance, and his
married sister, herself only a child, is scarcely able to understand the
seriousness of the crime which love of her inspired.
SEEK IDENTITY OF WOMAN FATALLY HURT BY TRUCK
Police are trying to learn the identity of a woman, apparently about
65 years old, who died in Brownsville Hospital shortly after being struck by
a truck at Pennsylvania and Blake avenues at 11 A. M. to-day.
The dead woman was 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighed 140 pounds, had
gray hair, over which she wore a brown wig. She wore a plaid skirt, white
waist, blue chinchilla coat, brown stockings and brown shoes.
Jacob GABEL, of 747 Stone avenue, driver of the truck which ran the
woman down as she crossed the street, was arrested on a charge of homicide.
Police say he had no driver's license. The truck is owned by Louis RICKUS,
2038 Bergen street police say.

GRIEVING KIN AWAIT RETURN OF ROPE VICTIM
Body of Strangled Boy Due at Home This Afternoon
Police Hunt Clues
Strand of Clothesline May be Link to Trap Slayer
While a sad group, hushed by tragedy, waited at 1511 Neptune avenue,
Coney Island, this afternoon for return home of the body of Salvatore
SANTOMARO, 6, police were trying to trace to its source the rope with which he was
strangled to a cruel death.
Police hoped to link Luigi PANARIELLO, 30, of 2768 West Fifteenth
street, brother-in-law of the child, with the purchase of the rope, and thus compl
ete the case they are building about him on a charge of murder. He denies the
killing, though admitting a plan to kidnap the boy to force a reconciliation
with his estranged wife.
The rope, a fifteen-foot lenght of new clothesline of a cheap grade,
was tangled about the boy's body when it was found in a burlap bag, beneath a
pile of debris in the yard of SANTOMARCO,s home
Relatives in Sorrow
Salvatore's parents, Joseph, a retired frruit dealer, and Angelina;
his sister, Fanny, 15, bride and mother, estranged from PANARIELLO, and his five
other brothers and sisters sorrowfully awaited arrival of the body from the
morgue. Outside a crowd of playmates of the popular boy, grouped themselves
mournfully about the house.
Funeral services have been set for Monday morning at 10 o'clock, with
interment at St. John's Cemetery.
Antoinette, the four-months-old daughter of the PANARIELLOs is in
Coney Island Hospital, it was established to-day by police, checking reports she
had disappeared and possibly been slain.
While searching for the source of the strangulation rope in hope of
tracing its purshase to PANARIELLO, detectives under Lieut. Robert DUGAN, of the
Coney Island station, paused to interview a private detective from whom they
claim to have obtained a statement that PANARIELLO threatened "killing
vengeance" against his wife's family for estrangement of the girl-mother,
Fanny, 15.
Threatened Vengeance
The detective, Lieut. DUGAN said, had been engaged by PANARIELLO to
seek divorce evidence against the girl wife, who claims to have left him because
of cruel treatment. PANARIELLO, asserting her parents brought about the
estrangement, became angry when no evidence could be found against her, the
detective said, and called a halt on the hunt, making a threat of revenge. Although
PANARIELLO steadfastly denied the actual killing of his little brother-in-law,
pet of the neighborhood in which he lived, police felt confident of completing
their case.
Their efforts to determine whence came the rope found twisted about
the body in longshoreman's knots so far has failed of result, but they are still
working on this angle as an important link in the murder chain they are
trying to fasten about PANARIELLO.
Led Police to Body
It was PANARIELLO who voluntarily led police to the mound of debris in
his back yard under which the trussed body was found in a burlap bag. Then he
named the three other men as the killers.
Asserting he engaged them to hold the boy captive, according to Mr.
GALLAGHER, PANARIELLO said he left the boy in his apartment, under guard of the
men, and never saw him again, later being informed by the others they had
"done the job," but instead of locking up the boy, had killed him.
MAY CLEAR GIRL DEATH MYSTERY
GIMBOLDI to Face Inquest Next Tuesday
Mind Blank, He Says
Remembers No Details After Car Upset
Riverhead, Sept.8 - Details of the death of pretty Margaret ZEPKE,
18-year-old cabaret entertainer, whose lifeless body was discovered pinned
beneath an overturned sedan automobile at a lonely spot on the Middle Counrtry
highway, seventeen miles from here, may be told next Tuesday when John GIMBOLDI, of
Patchogue, driver of the death car and part owner of the roadhouse where the
dead girl was employed, testifies at a coroner's inquest.
GIMBOLDI is locked up in the suffolk County jail on a charge of second
degree manslaughter.
The accident occurred late Wednesday night, but not until 6 o'clock
the following morning was the girl's body discovered. GIMBOLDI says his mind is
a blank as to details of what he did after the car upset.
According to District Attorney George W. HILDRETH, GIMBOLDI said he
did not know how the accident happened nor how he freed himself from the
automobile. He went to the home of a friend, Tony FRISCO, at Riverhead, about
seventeen miles from the scene of the accident, but he did not know how he got there,
HILDRETH said GIMBOLDI told him.
Then GIMBOLDI and FRISCO met State Trooper DOUGHERTY and the three
went to the scene of the accident, arriving at 3 A. M., HILDRETH said GIMBOLDI
continued. The three men were unable to get the automobile off the girl's body
and they went to a garage at Port Jefferson, but were unable to get in. Then
they returned to the automobile arriving at 6 A. M., but by that time Jefferson
SIMMS, a truck driver, had freed the girl, HILDRETH said GIMBOLDI told him.
No charge had been placed against GIMBOLDI until HILDRETH began an
investigation into the accident. When he was arrested GIMBOLDI said he had taken
the girl, who was employed in a road house at Bellport, out riding Wednesday,
according to HILDRETH. GIMBOLDI is said to be married and the father of two
children.
AXE WIELDER MURDERS WIFE, CUTS DAUGHTER
Crazed Man Uses Hatchet and Razor in Effort to Wipe Out Family
Slayer Still Free
West Seventh Street Resident Leaves Note Saying He Was "Tormented"
Mrs. Lillian WHEELER, 48 years old is dead, slashed and battered with
an ax and a hammer; her daughter Hindel WHEELER, 19, is mutilated for life,
her attractive face criss-crossed with at least twenty-seven razor cuts, and
police of the entire metropolitan area today are hunting for the father and
husband, Alfred WHEELER, 52 years old.
The murder and slashing both were committed in the Gravesend home
within approximately two hours. Four weapons were used.
Between his first and second attacks on his family WHEELER played the
radio, according to the police. A fatherly kiss prefaced the slashing of his
daughter, who now is in Coney Island Hospital, weak from loss of blood, but
expected to recover.
After an autopsy today at the county morgue, Dr. M. E. MARTIN of the
Medical Examiner's staff announced Mrs. WHEELER had sustained a compound
fracture of the skull "as a result of many blows on the head from some heavy,
blunt instrument, such as a hammer or a hatchett." He said her neck had been
slashed with a razor, one of the gashes severing her windpipe, and that
any one of the cuts or blows was sufficient to have produced death.
When WHEELER fled he left as an explanation ten words penciled on a
scrap of paper:
"I did this because my family tormented me beyond endurance."
The daughter attributes her father's actions to the fact that he was
jealous because she was so attractive that young men sought her company and so
kept her away from the home, and because that jealousy often led him into
furious arguments with her mother.
During the two hours in which the father committed the murder and
brooded in premeditation of the second crime, his nine-year-old son, John, was in
the house, sobbing and bewildered.
It is from this boy's story, declarations of the daughter and
testimony of neighbors, that Capt. John J. RYAN, chief of the Tenth Division
Detectives, and Detectives John FITZSIMMONS and Alexander McCONEGHEY reconstruct
the crime.
Mrs. WHEELER apparently was murdered about 9:30 o'clock last night,
but the crime was not discovered until 11:30, when Hindel, bleeding and
screaming, ran into the street.
First intimation that there was anything wrong in the WHEELER home
came when the son, John, came to the nextdoor neighbor - there is a semi-detached
cottage between the two, occupied by the WHEELER's - Mrs. Evelyn MARKS, at
2041, shortly before 9:30 o'clock.
He was in his pajamas and was crying. "My father is hitting my
mother," he sobbed to Mrs. MARKS, who comforted him in her arms and told him to
remain all night at her home.
At this juncture, WHEELER, "ghastly white and wild-eyed," according to
Mrs. MARKS, came into her home and asked what John was doing there.
"I thought it better your son stay with me to-night she explained.
WHEELER muttered something gruffly and took his son by one hand. In the other
hand, Mrs. MARKS continued she observed "something."
John and the father went into their own home, Mrs. MARKS told
detectives. A few moments later Mrs. MARKS story went, she heard the WHEELER radio
and it was heard for quite some time after.
The next hint of the tragedy came to Mrs. MARKS at approximately 11:30
o'clock when John crying again, came to her and said, "Father is hitting
mother again." But the little boy was wrong.
A moment later Hindel rushed to the street. Mrs. MARKS, her daughter,
Mildred, and George MOURY, 1652 East Tenth street, a visitor at the MARKS
home, pursued the girl. When they caught up with her, three-quarters of a block
away, they saw her condition and held her.
An ambulance was summoned from Coney Island Hospital and Dr. FISHMANN
rendered first aid. Then the girl began to ask for her mother. Mrs. MARKS,
FISHMANN and MOURY went into the house. In the semi-detached part, on the kitchen
floor was Mrs. WHEELER, dead. Her head was nearly severed. In the kitchen
table was the note, beside a blood staned(sic) ax.
Often Quarreled
After the girl was removed to the hospital, detectives hurried to her
bedside and although dazed by shock, Miss WHEELER told a coherent story. She
said:
"My father was jealous of me. He didn't want me to go out with boys.
He often quarreled about this with my mother, to keep me from going out.
"Last night I went to the movies with Thomas MEYER (1945 West Seventh
street). Father is employed by the Brooklyn-Edison company and recently his
hour of reporting to duty was shifted to midnight. I thought he would be gone by
the time I came home. Thomas left me at the door. I opened the door and was
about to walk into the living room when father met me and kissed me. Then he
took hold of my hat.
"Then he struck me with something. The blow stunned me, and as I was
sinking to the floor I felt him cutting my face with something sharp."
Looks Into Mirror
"I don't remember just what happened next; but I do remember running
upstairs to look in the mirror. My face was covered with blood and I ran out
into the street. Where my father went I don't know."
Police believe WHEELER fled through the front yard, There they found a
hammer. Another hammer, matted with hair, had been found inside the house, as
was the safety razor with which the girl's face was slashed. Just when he
escaped they can't say. It probably was while the MARKS and MOURY were chasing
the hysterical girl down the street. She was running, she said to the MEYER
home, about a block away.

POLICE HONOR VETERAN DIES
Sergeant Charles MAAS Expires in Jamaica Drug Store
Won Hero Medals
Stopped Two Runaways and Made Fire Rescues
Sergeant Charles MAAS, who spent twenty-six years in the New York
Police Department, and for ten years conducted a detective agency at 158-28
Jamaica avenue, Jamaica, suddenly became ill yesterday afternoon in a drug store on
Hillside avenue, near 163d street, Jamaica. He died before the arrival of a
doctor, who said death was probably due to a stomach ailment.
MAAS was well known as an advocate of a bread and water diet to keep
men out of prison. He first attracted attention about twenty-eight years ago
while on duty when, at great risk of his life, as a citation shows, he stopped a
runaway team of horses attached to a victoria in which were two women. Before
stopping the team MAAS was dragged from his mount.
Three years later he was again cited when he halted a runaway horse
drawing a carriage in which were a governess and an eight year old boy. In 1907
MAAS was again in the spotlight as the hero of a tenement fire, which he
discovered in Clinton street, Manhattan. The lives of forty persons were endangered
by this blaze, which gutted the structure.
MAAS aroused the tenants and then found three children in one of the
rooms. After assisting them to the street, he returned and saved a young woman.
He was delirious and partly blind for a time as the result of this fire, and
it was believed that his hands would have to be amputated, but they soon
healed.
MAAS was one of the founders of the Honor Legion in the police
department. He also was active in the Queensboro Lodge of Elks, Danton Lodge 1017, F.
A. & M., and the Abraham Lincoln Chapter, Steuben Society.
His body was taken from Robins Morgue, Jamaica, to his home at 77
150th street, Jamaica. Although funeral arrangements have not been made, it is
believed that MAAS will be buried with honors of the police department.
Surviving him are his son Charles W. MAAS, a fireman attached to
Engine Co. 305; and three daughters, Magdalene MAAS, of Jamaica; Mrs. Harriet ROBB
and Mrs. Edna SPRENGEL, both of Rockville Centre.
