BANDIDT, SHOT ELUDES POLICE, AFTER KILLING SLEUTH IN DUEL
Defying Robber's Gun, Private Policeman Drops Him After Spectacular
Stick-Ip of Quincy Street Drug Store But Is Killed in Attempt to Halt
Escape of Pair
Companion Drags Injured Pal to Waiting Automobile, Making Successful
Getaway with $825 Taken From Five Victims - Police Watch Hospitals for
Wounded Man
Police this afternoon warned hospitals to be on the lookout for the
severely wounded bandit who, after having been shot down in an attempt
to hold up a drug store at 325 Quincy street, killed a private detective
who balked the holdup and despite his wounds, got away before police
arrived.
Dragging himself away from the scene of the slaying, the bandit aided
by his two companions, had managed this afternoon to elude the police
for more than fifteen hours.
The private detective slain by a round of shots fired by one of the
bandits as the latter himself lay wounded on the floor of the store was
Frank STADORE, 37, of 342 Monroe street. He was struck by five bullets,
one of which penetrated the heart, and died almost instantly.
STADORE, his friend, Edward ORLER, the owner of the drug store, and
three others, including MR. ORLER's wife, had been herded into the
prescription room by the bandit while his companion had emptied the cash
register of $65 and stripped the others of $760.
The hold-up was nearly finished, lacking nothing but the quick exit of
the bandits. One was then in the street and the other stood near the
door, with two pistols extended to cover his retreat. His last warning
to the frightened victims of the hold-up had been to keep quiet.
But STADORE gave no evidence of fright. He reached into a drawer in the
prescription room and seized the proprietor's pistol. He darted into
the doorway leading from the room into the store in time to see the
bandit backing out to the street. STADORE opened fire. He fired four
times, and the bandit dropped to the floor as though wounded.
HE lay there momentarily and then brought one of his pistols into play.
Firing with the right hand the bandit aimed five shots at STADORE. All
five struck him in the chest. One penetrated the heart and STTADORE
fell instantly.
Dragged to Street - The fallen bandit still lay on the floor when his
companion rushed into the store and dragged him to the street.
There was an automobile waiting, driven, police were told, by a third
man. The machine sped south on Marcy avenue and was seen going toward
Fulton street before it was lost to view.
The proprietor's clerk, Phillip GOLDSTEIN, telephoned to police
headquarters. The call brought Dr. MCDONALD from St. John's Hospital.
The physician found STADORE had been killed almost instantly.
Within a few minutes, Lieut. Detective SCHEIDLER and five detectives
arrived from the Gates avenue precinct. They obtained fairly accurate
descriptions of the two bandits. Both were described as young men,
about 22. Both were of dark complexion and believed to be of foreign
extraction. One was about five feet three inches tall, the other five
feet seven.
Armed with this description, the police broadcast a lookout warning to
police throughout the city for the bandits. In the belief that the
bandit had been badly wounded, police reinforced their customary watch
upon individuals reporting at hospitals with gunshot wounds.
In Two Holdups - It was the second time in course of a holdup of Mr.
ORLER's drug store that STADORE had exchanged shots with gunmen.
Several years ago he had defied three bandits and wounded one, in
consequence of which all three were captured and sent to Sing Sing. He
was commended by Richard E, ENRIGHT, who was then the Police
Commissioner. The friendship between the private detective and the
pharmacist became stronger thane ever, and the druggist maintained an
unbounded admiration for his friends courage. Last night's holdup was
the fourth visited upon his store.
STADORE visited Mr. ORLER's place almost nightly. He was there again
last night at 11:30 o'clock. Mrs. ORLER, 32; the clerk, Mr. GOLSTEIN,
of 257 Quincy street, and Harold CHERMACH, a customer, of 348 Quincy
street, were in the place when the bandits entered in guise of customers.
One asked for a roll of gauze. As the proprietor reached under the
counter to get it, the other bandit drew two revolvers and herded all
the store's occupants into the prescription room.
"Get in that room." He ordered, pointing to the prescription room with
one of his pistols.
"Don't shoot," Mr. ORLER asked him.
Mrs. ORLER became somewhat nervous.
"All right, all right, please don't shoot," she told the gunman.
"None of that guff," she was told. "Move quick. Get in there."
All complied, and while the two gun man kept his weapons leveled at the
little group in the rear room his companion took $65 from the cash
register. He searched the proprietor and took $600 from him. A search
of CHERMACH's clothing yield (rest is missing)

ORDERLY HELD IN BOY'S DEATH AT HOSPITAL
Alleged Attacker Offers No Defense - Attorneys to Ask City Probe
Charles MOSCHER, ex-convict orderly at the Children's Hospital on
Randalls Island, was held without bail for the grand jury to-day after
two youths described in Homicide Court a beating alleged to have caused
the death of seven-year-old Solomon SCHWICK on June 21.
At the same time, attorneys for Abraham SCHWICK, of 1551 Brooks avenue,
the Bronx, the dead boy's father, said they would ask Mayor WALKER to
launch a thorough investigation of conditions at the hospital.
In court to-day the two boys, Eli HERSHKOWITZ, 18, of 2768 East Twelfth
street, and Charles ALGAZE, 15, of 2569 East Eleventh street, said they
escaped from the island by swimming the East River in terror lest they
undergo a pummeling such as they saw Solomon suffer.
They declared MOSCHER beat the boy severely the first night he was
there, put him in a straitjacket and fastened him to a bed. The boy was
dead the next morning.
The doctor who performed the autopsy said the bruised and internal
injuries which he found, might have been caused by beating.
MOSCHER, who was quoted by the hospital superintendent as saying the
body fell out of bed, offered no defense.
DOCTOR'S BLOOD FAILS TO HOLD SUICIDE TO LIFE
Will to Die Wins After Man, 22, Is "Saved" for Hours
After being kept alive for several hours by blood transfusions and an
operation that included stitching slashes in a severed windpipe and
jugular vein, Clanfield SHAPRIRO, 22, of 457 East Ninety-fifth street,
died at noon at the Brownsville and East New York Hospital.
SHAPIRO was brought back to a faint flicker of life by Dr. I.C.
ZUCKERMAN, house surgeon, who gave a quart of his own blood and who
performed the delicate operation. But the young man's determination to
die because he was no future in life for himself triumphed over the best
medical skill. He had slashed his throat and his wrists with a razor.
The suicide attempt was discover and the Canarsie police station
notified. An ambulance hurried from the hospital, only three blocks from
SHAPIRO'S home, and Ambulance Surgeon Jacob COHEN found SHAPIRO
practically dead. The heart had ceased to beat perceptibly and the man's
body was drained of blood.
Dr. Cohen telephoned to Dr. ZUKERMAN that he was bringing SHAPIRO to the
hospital. He put tourniquets on SHAPIRO'S wrists and stuffed the slash
in his throat with absorbent cotton and rushed him to the hospital.
Dr. ZUKERMAN decided the only hope was by a transfusion and after
stitching windpipe, jugular and writs, he took a quart of his own blood
and injected it into SHAPIR'S veins. Then he gave the apparently dead
man a hypodermic adrenalin to start his heart again and SHAPIRO became
alive again.
The first words SHAPIRO spoke formed a protest at being brought back to
life. He said he wanted to die and while he appreciated what was being
done for him he regretted that all the trouble had been taken to save
the life he did not want.
SHAPIR'S brother explained that he was foreman in a sweatshop and could
see no hope for the future in that occupation.

HOLIDAY DEATH TOLL 11 IN CITY; SCORES HURT -
Two Boro Men Drown - Much Noise, Many Fires Here
The Fourth of July celebrations claimed one hundred and fifty-nine lives
in the United States. Deaths by drowning lead all others by scores.
Contrary to other years, fireworks were responsible for almost a
negligible number of deaths. Two were reported from New York and one
from Ohio.
The death toll this year represents a substantial decrease from last
year when nearly 200 persons paid with their lives for celebrating the Fourth.
In the metropolitan area of New York, eleven lives were lost and more
than 500 persons were injured. Seven persons were drowned and two were
killed by automobiles.
The other two deaths were caused by fireworks. The law banning the sale
and exploding of fireworks was in a large measure ignored in all the
five boroughs, and both children and grown persons celebrated with
various kinds of explosive all day long.
Two Brooklyn persons lost their lives. They were :
Phillip BUCARO, 18,
Frank ATTANNAIO, who were drowned.
DRINK BLAMED FOR STULTZ'S DEATH CRASH

Investigation by Assistant District Attorney HUNTINGTON of Nassau County
revealed to-day that not only was Wilmer STULTZ, transatlantic flyer who

reports of the case had been made, in each of which the intoxication of
the flyer was stressed.
"There have been so many cases of intoxicated pilots," Mr. HUNTINGTON
said, "that the district attorney, Elvin N. EDWARDS, who is away on
vacation now, ordered me to investigate this case."
Dr GETTLER's report said: "The amount of alcohol in the brain indicates
that STULTZ was in an intoxicated condition at the time of death. The
brain showed 0.42 per cent, alcohol, which is marked 'three plus.' The
alcohol was ethyl (grain) alcohol.
"A large amount of alcohol was found in the stomach, a fair amount in
the kidney's, some alcohol in the hear, and a large amount of alcohol in
the brain."
Mr. HUNTINGTON said that while no action could be taken criminally in
connection with the death of STULTZ, he would make the findings of the
toxicologist at matter of record.
"The public is asked and urged to support aviation and to become air
minded," Mr. HUNTINGTON said. "If there is any bad spot in aviation the
public is entitled to know about it. The force of public opinion should
have weight in correcting any such evils.
Assistant District Attorney HUNTINGTON admitted later in the day that he
has started an investigation into the STULTZ crash on the basis of the
GETTLER report, but he would give no details of his plans. It was
learned that he talked with Capt. J. Nelson KELLY, of Roosevelt Field,
and with two or three other men from that place.
"We are taking definite steps but what they are I am not at liberty to
say, as it would hamper our investigation." Said HUNTINGTON. "Roosevelt
Field officials are co-operating with us 100 per cent. They are doing
everything in their power to meet a problem we believe exists and must
be squarely met in the interests of aviation.

One Dead, 2 Felled Within Week by Assailant
Rumors that a maniac is stealthily treading the streets of Williamsburg
during the late night and early hours of the morning has filled
residents in that section with fear. Everyone is under suspicion and

found dead on a sidewalk in Williamsburg this morning with a deep gash
in the base of his skull. Was he a victim of the Maniac? As yet that
is unknown but the rumors prevailing in Williamsburg are that he is the
third victim. It is weird, and things weird are not welcome in

GIANT, ROSARIO, FOUND DEAD BY MYSTERY SHOT
Wanted a Drink
Rosario GIUSTALIST, 38, is dead from bullet wounds, and police of the
Butler street station are searching to-day for Tony CONSTANITINO, 35,
who is believed to have done the shooting.
GIUSTALIST, who was known as "Rosario the Giant," conducted a grocery
store at 477 Hicks street, where he also lived. His body was discovered
last night lying in the third floor hallway in front of apartment 8 at
456 Hicks street. A woman tenant of the building stumbled over the body.
Apartment 8 has been occupied by CONSTANTINO, a longshoreman. When
police broke into the premises, they reported finding three bottles of
wine and several of home brew.
Patrolman Edward CONNERS, of the Butler street station, who was called
when GIUSTALIST's body was found, summoned an ambulance from Holy Family
Hospital and detectives from Butler street. The detectives, under
command of Acting Lieutenant John MCGOWAN, questioned the occupants of
the building but were unable to find anyone who had heard the shot. It
is believed that GIUSTALISI came to CONSTANTINO's apartment to get a
drink. Detectives said they believed he had been denied admission and
when he argued was shot.

and stopped. KENNY got out of the taxi to ask the driver what he meant
by stopping so suddenly and the man at the wheel replied by firing three
shots at KENNY one of which went wild and the other two struck him in
the abdomen.
KENNY was rushed to St. Catherine's Hospital, where he died a short time
after his arrival there. The men in the taxi were unable to give a

FATHER OF SIX CONFESSES HE KILLED WIFE
Daughter Finds Bruised Body of Her Parent Lying Under Bed
Seated in the detectives’ room of the Clymer street station to-day,
Bernard MCFADDEN, 49, of 23 Floyd street, tearfully told the police how
he murdered his wife, Nettie, 44, while in a jealous rage.
MCFADDEN later had a hearing before Magistrate HEALY I Homicide Court on
a charge of murder. Magistrate HEALY committed him to Kings County
Hospital for observation.
He was arraigned on an affidavit, signed by Detective MEENAHAN, of the
Ninetieth Squad. It set forth that late last night MCFADDEN struck his
wife on the head with a broom handle, which caused her death. She was
dead when an ambulance surgeon arrived.
MCFADDEN admitted to the court he had struck his wife. He said he did it
because she picked up a chair and threatened to kill him. His head was
bandaged where he had, apparently, been struck by some blunt instrument.
About 5 o’clock last night, MCFADDEN, who is a roofer by occupation but
out of work at present, began to argue with his wife, charging her with
paying much attention to other men. She laughed at him, he said, and
told him to get a job.
One work led to another and MCFADDEN in the heat of the argument,
grabbed a clothes stick and beat his wife over the head until she fell
unconscious. He then dragged her body to the bedroom and hid it under
the bed.
Shortly after 6 o’clock last night their eldest daughter, Florence, 18,
came home from work and found her dead mother’s body beneath the bed.
Her screams attracted the neighbors who had overheard the argument
between MCFADDEN and his wife and they notified the police. After a
thorough investigation of the case Detectives MEENAHAN and James SHEEHEY
learned from one of the MCFADDEN children that their father frequented
Rockaway Beach and in the company with Detective James FOLEY of Rockaway
station they apprehended MCFADDEN at 4 o’clock this morning on the
boardwalk at Rockaway.
They brought him back and after intense questioning he admitted the
murder. With tears streaming down his face, MCFADDEN sobbed, "If only I
had killed myself too. I am so sorry that I did it. If was just
jealousy. How can I live without my wife?"
The MCFADDENs have been married twenty-nine years and have six children.
They are Walter, 23; Benjamin, 19; Rita, 10; Ruth, 8; Florence, 18; and
Howard, 6 years old.
Police Commissioner WHALEN arrived at the scene at 10:30 and remained
for about an hour. He took great interest in the younger of the children
and also gathered a collection from the police for them. He gave
Detective MEENAHAN a five-dollar bill and directed him to take the
children to a nearby restaurant and see that they were well fed.
MCFADDEN was taken to the Manhattan police line-up this morning and
later was to appear in Homicide Court.
L.I.R.R. BLAMED IN DEATH
Mayor Howard G. WILSON, at the meeting of the Lynbrook Village Board,
placed the blame for the death of Thomas MCCARTHY, at the Wright avenue
grade crossing, Monday afternoon on the Long Island Railroad. He said
the railroad failed to install warning signal at the crossing when
requested by local officials less than a month ago. Three persons have
been killed at the crossing within recent years.
BOY PROVEN VICTIM OF AMNESIA AND NOT ORIENTAL DISEASE
Autopsy Tells Cause of Death; Hospital Thanks Press
George MOSHER, 15, whose long illness mystified doctors for the Seaside
Hospital, New Dorp, S.L. where he died last night, was not the victim of
any mysterious Oriental disease, as sometimes reported, but died of
aplastic anemia.
Dr. Gaylord GRAVES, medical director of the Seaside Hospital, made that
declaration to-day following an autopsy performed on the boy’s body last
night. Dr. GRAVES further said hospital authorities had at no time
believe the body a suffered from any disease other than some form of anemia.
He said there was no danger in the disposition of the boy’s body, as had
been rumored, and that there was no necessity for special arrangements
for its disposal.
Dr. GRAVES said he was preparing a report of the case for the Bureau of
Medical Information of the New York Academy of Medicine. Aplastic
anemia, he said, is invariably fatal. Dr. GRAVES said he was grateful to
newspapers for the publicity they had given the boy’s plight, which had
been resulted in many offers of aid.
Physicians ordered weekly blood transfusions, hoping to stave off death
until they could come to grips with the disease and devise a treatment.
To the plea for blood 980 persons responded and eagerly sought the
privilege of helping the boy. There were 125 women in the list; blind
persons who knew of George’s plight by radio and the deaf who read the
newspapers.
The crisis came Friday on George’s fifteenth birthday. Throngs arrived
at the hospital, asking if they could be of assistance; 200 bouquets
cluttered George’s room and spilled out into the hospital halls; 1000
letters and telegrams arrived.
"Stay in there and pitch," someone wrote from Europe.
George surveyed it all and for the first time made what could be
construed as a complaint over his illness.
"I want to live," he said. "I’ll get well."
Physicians believe the excitement of his birthday celebration might have
contributed to the decline that set in immediately. Yesterday Dr. GRAVES
straightened up from the cot and whispered that George was too weak to
have another transfusion. Everyone knew what that meant.

TENANTS DENY HEARING FATAL SCUFFLE
Fierce Fight Indicated
The body of Guan TAVEZON, stabbed fifteen times, was found lying on the
floor of his wrecked furnished room at 72 Hamilton avenue early to-day.
Other tenants thus far questioned by police said they had heard no
sounds from the apartment during the night, but a wide battle was
evident from the wrecked and disordered furnishings.
Mrs. GARCIA, janitress, who regularly maintained order for her tenants,
discovered the murder during her morning rounds. She summoned Patrolman
John CASEY, of the Hamilton Police station, and her sent for Dr.
MOSCOWITZ from Holy Family Hospital, but HAVEZON had been dead for hours.
Detectives now are tying to find out if TAVEZON had relatives in this
city, or enemies.
Thomas P. CUMMINGS, deputy chief inspector, took charge of the
investigation and reported TAVEZON was a guest at the apartment where he
was found. He also declared his belief TAVEZON had been invited to
visit the apartment and was then killed.
CUMMINGS and Detectives working under him took into custody Peter
QUIROZ, 47, said to have been the actual lessee of the apartment. The
detectives took QUIROZ over the ground of the murder and the
neighborhood while questioning him about other occupants of the apartment.
Dr. Emanuel MARTIN, assistant medical examiner, examined TAVEZON and
said he had been dead since yesterday afternoon.
CUMMINGS declared QUIROZ did not spend last night at the apartment.
GIRL'S MYSTERY DEATH BRINGS ROCKAWAY POOL MAN'S ARREST
Body Found During Draining, Friends Questioned
An all night investigation of the death of Helen FYNN, 15-year-old Far
Rockaway High School student, in the Ostend Bathing Pool at Seventeenth
street and Seagirt avenue, Far Rockaway, resulted early to-day in the
arrest of the pool's manager, Maxwell BERK, on a technical charge of
homicide.
The definite cause of the girl's death - she was not reported missing,
and her body was discovered only when the pool was emptied at 6:30 P.M.
- will not be known until after Queens medical authorities have
completed an autopsy.
Meanwhile, Police Inspector John J. GALLAGHER and Thomas MAGUIRE,
Assistant District Attorney, have been questioning pool employees and
other bathers to learn how she could have disappeared from a party of
five friends under the eyes of a guard and others without being noticed.
The regularly assigned guard, William MCKINLEY, had not seen her in
difficulty at any time before the bathers were ordered from the water.
Nor had he seen her, he declared, near the water when the big outlet
valves in the deepest end of the pool were opened for the regular
Thursday draining.
As the water level lowered, he denoted an object directly over the drain
outlet, held there by the strong suction. He was unable to lift the body
away until two other men had joined him.
A theory was advanced that girl may have dived, unnoticed by anybody, a
moment after the drain was opened, and have been held down by the
rushing water.
Miss FLYNN lived at 1919 Lockwood avenue, Far Rockaway, in one of the
more exclusive beach colonies. BERK gave his address as 4491 Beach
Sixtieth street.
Reports the girl had been missed and that the pool had been drained in a
search for her body were denied by BERK, who explained the place was
drained regularly at 6:30 on Thursday evening to provide an arena for
prizefights.

POLICE HOLD BACK CROWD AS GIANT'S BODY IS MOVED
Six Men Lower Box Four Floors to Street
While police reserves held back a crowd of one thousand gasping
onlookers, six husky moving men lowered a box eight feet by four from
the fourth floor of 174 Moore street, by means of a fall and tackle.
Within the box was the 510-pound body of David KATZ, known in the show
world as Joseph WILSON, and billed as the biggest man alive. He died
early yesterday morning a few hours after he had made a meal of 24
crullers, washed down with six bottles of soda water. Heart failure was
the immediate cause of his death. He was 26 years old.
KATZ's apartment was on the fourth floor, rear, of the house. To bring
his body to the street the moving men, employed by the firm of Abraham
TURKOQITZ, of 124 Varet street, used what is know as a piano trolley.
This is an oblong platform of stout material mounted on four well
greased rollers.
The body of the giant was place on this carriage and rolled into the
front apartment. There it was placed into the wooden of coal bin
proportions, and preparations made to lower it by the same methods used
to lower a safe or a piano. Stout ropes, encircling the box and passing
through a system of pulleys, allowed the great weight to reach street
level without mishap.
KATZ was with the Ringling - Barnum & Bailey circus for some years. He
also appeared on the musical comedy stage with Earl CARROLL's
"Vanities." He is survived by his mother, Anna, and father, Joseph, with
whom he lived. Burial will be in Mt. Judea Cemetery, Glendale.

TWO MEN DEAD AFTER BATTLE IN NIGHT CLUB
Third Man Wounded in Mystery Gun Fight in Hotsy Totsy
A sudden and unexplained gun battle in the Hotsy Totsy Club, on
Broadway, near Fifty-fourth street, early to0day cost the lives of two
men identified as William CASSIDY and Simon WALKER. A third was injured.
Plice, already burdened with the mystery of the ROTHSTEIN and MARLOW
murders, were still wresting with this one at noon.
The Hotsy Totsy Club is on the second floor of 1721 Broadway. Hearing
pistol reports, police hurried into the place shortly before 4 A.M., to
find one body with two bullets in the head and another in the back,
lying on the floor of the bar room
In the pockets of Walker was a loaded revolver. In the same room was
another gun, carrying three empty shells. Three bullet holes were
located in the Mahogany bar. There were several others in the men's
room, and liberal bloodstains.
A half hour later an automobile drove up to the French Hospital, 324
West Thirtieth street, Manhattan. Three men emerged, assisting a fourth,
who was badly wounded, into the reception ward. They left without
revealing either the patient's identity or their own.
But the victim was later identified as William CASSIDY, 36, of 458 Tenth
avenue, and police said they had information he came from the night club.
As in the case of WALKER, CASSIDY was shot twice in the head and once in
the back. He died at 5:15 o'clock.
Another victim is being questioned at the club by Deputy Chief Inspector
Edward O. MULROONEY and Captain Louis A. DITTMAN, of the West
Forty-seventh street precinct. He is said to be CASSIDY's brother.

THREE ARE KILLED IN DRYDOCK BLAST
3 Workmen Badly Hurt, 15 Others Injured When Air Pressure Causes Explosion at
Robins Pier-Damage, Unestimated as Yet, May Reach Several Thousand Dollars
Company Officials Refuse to Give Information and Have Hose Turned on Reporters
Fifty at Labor on Tanker When Terrific Rumble Starts-
Timbers Fly, Crush Score
Three men were killed, three were injured and fifteen were slightly hurt
this morning when a pontoon at the Robbins Dry Dock and Repair Company, foot
of Third street, Erie Basin, blew out under the pressure of compressed air,
tore a hole thirty by twenty feet in the side of the dock and did damage
amounting to several thousand dollars.
Officials at the dry dock, immediately after the arrival of police, ordered
all spectators, including newspapermen, outside the dock enclosure. When
reporters later attempted to gain more information concerning the accident,
fire hose was turned on them and they were scattered by the water’s force.
The dead men are:
CHRISTOPHER KELLY, 49, of 351 Fifty-fifth street.
PHILIP BURNS, 33, of 1915 Haring street.
THOMAS KENNEDY, 47, of 74 Dikeman street.
The injured are:
Ernest NEWHOOK, 47, of 373 Eighteenth street, lacerations of the scalp,
possible fracture of the skull and a crushed compound fracture of the right
leg which may necessitate amputation. He is to be operated on this afternoon
at Long Island College Hospital if his condition permits.
Joseph CAMPBELL, 28, of 317 Fifty-third street, Long Island College
Hospital, lacerations of the scalp and contusions of the leg.
James BLAKE, 36, of 256 Midwood street, Long Island College Hospital,
contusions of the head and left shoulder.
Charles YACCONE, 46, of 217 Bay Thirteenth street, Holy Family Hospital,
internal injuries.
Vincent DAMERA, 32, of 10 Coles street, Holy Family Hospital, internal
injuries.
Treated, Sent Home
The following were treated by ambulance surgeons at the scene and allowed
to go home:
Gus ANDERSON, 53, of 741 Forty-sixth street, lacerations of the left hand.
Michael LYNCH, 27, of 613 Fourth avenue, lacerations of the left leg.
Dominick DELRIE, 28, of 274 Columbia street, lacerations of the left arm.
Edward AGROW, 52, 8821 Seventeenth avenue, lacerations of both arms.
Patrick McLAUGHLIN, 50, of 169 Beard street, sprained right ankle.
Ernest KASOLA, 42, of 586 Third avenue, shock.
Ralph CALDELINO, 40, of 529 Pine street, lacerations of the left leg.
Nicalo SCROFFA, 46, of 58 Coles street, contusions of the left leg.
Ralph DONELLO, 40, of 29 Second place, lacerations of the left shoulder.
Samuel JUNDA, 37, of 154 Mott street, Manhattan, lacerations of the left leg.
Andrew RIGGO, 44, of 157 Mott street, Manhattan, lacerations of the left arm.
Give Different Names
The officials also gave a different set of names for the injured, calling
NEWHOOK, Richard NEWELL, of 549 Park place, and CAMPBELL, Frank CAMPBELL.
Fifty men were working in the dry dock at the time. The tanker Gulf Penn,
belonging to the Gulf Refining Company, had just been raised by the dry dock
and the workmen, all except the three killed and two seriously injured, were
employed by the National Marine Contracting Company of 16 Wyckoff avenue.
Suddenly there came a tremendous rumbling and then a blast which tore one
side of the dry dock out. Timbers flew high into the air, and descending,
crushed the three men.
The automatic signal sent in an alarm and within a few minutes police and
fire emergency squads were on the scene.
After ascertaining that there was no fire or smoke, the police took charge
and cleared the dock of spectators. The dead men were taken to the Kings
County Hospital morgue and the injured to the hospital.
Investigation at first failed to ascertain the cause of the explosion. It
was believed that the blast came from oil gases left in the tanker, but
examination showed there were no signs of an explosion on the ship.
Then the pontoon, by which the dry dock is raised, was examined and found
to have been blown out completely, the blast carrying with it the heavy
timbered sides of the dock.
Splinters Cause Deaths
It was the flying splinters and timbers from the dock construction which,
thrown high in the air by the blast, fell upon the workmen, killing and
injuring them.
The dead men and the two seriously injured were employed by the dry dock
and were standing near the pontoon when the explosion occurred.
The pontoon, it was explained by dock officials, is one of a series by
which the dry dock is raised after the ship has been placed in it. The
pontoons are filled with air under high compression which drives out the water
and gives them buoyancy sufficient to raise the huge dock high enough to bring
the hull of the ship inside out of the water.
The Gulf Penn had been sent to dry dock for an overhauling and fifty
workmen were scraping her bottom when the explosion occurred. A cordon of
police was placed about the plant to insure against entrance.

DEPUTY CHIEF FIRE MARSHAL PRIAL DEAD
Won Fame by Probe of Burning of the General Slocum
John P. PRIAL, of 1075 East Thirty-ninth street, deputy chief fire
marshal of this city and brother of Deputy Controller Frank J. PRIAL,
died yesterday in St. Anthony’s Hospital in Richmond Hill. He had been
ill since last winter from a complication of ailments which
incapacitated him from his duties in the division of fire investigation,
with which he had been connected fro thirty years.
Mr. PRIAL was born in the lower end of the old Chelsea District of
Manhattan, fifty-three years ago. His father, Edward PRIAL, was a
pioneer carriage manufacturer during the age of horses. He attended St.
Francis Xavier College, in West Sixteenth street, from which he was
graduated with the degree of B.A. and M.A., and later matriculated at
Fordham University Law School with a degree of law. Although he never
practiced his profession, his knowledge of law often became useful to
him in his work running down incendiaries and convicting them. His Fire
Department activities first attracted public attention by his complete
and conscientious investigation of the fire aboard the ill-fated
steamboat General Slocum and its appalling loss of life in June 1904.
It was PRIAL who delved into the facts surrounding the origin of the
fire which totally destroyed the old Equitable office building during
the winter of 1912. He also directed the work of running down and
apprehending "Izzy the Painter" whom he later convicted for making many
fires on the east side of Harlem. "Izzy the Painter", who was born
Izadore STEINKREUTZER, was sentenced by Judge MULQUEEN in General
Sessions court to a long term in prison.
The conviction of "Izzy the Painter" broke up one of the most vicious
arson rings in this city and cause several of its members to flee. In
recent years, PRIAL’s activities have been mainly along the lines of
preparation and examination of arson cases before taking them into court.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary PRIAL, a son Edward and a daughter
Jean. He was very active in fire department affairs and was one of the
organizers of the Firemen’s Cycle Club.

FIREMAN DIES DRIVING TO FIRE, EIGHT IN PERIL
Sea Cliff Man Succumbs at Wheel and Comrade Halts Hose Cart
One Sea Cliff fireman was injured seriously and the lives of eight
others were imperiled this afternoon when Edward SMITH, driver died at
the wheel of his fire apparatus which ran wild down Roslyn avenue to Sea
Cliff avenue, Sea Cliff. The apparatus was a motor truck combining
pumper, hose cart and chemical.
Fireman William WILLIAMS was hurled from the machine when it hurtled
across a curb at Sea Cliff avenue. He was taken to the North Country
Community Hospital where it was reported he has a head injury, internal
injuries and possible fractured ribs. His condition is critical.
With SMITH’s body slumped over the wheel, Fireman William KLEIN
clambered over the chemical tanks and framework and managed to reach the
seat and snatch the emergency brake back.
SMITH, whose death was due to a heart attack, lived on Main street, Sea
Cliff. The fire apparatus was answering a call to a brush fire.
FINGERPRINTS MAY IDENTIFY MURDER VICTIM
Contents of Stomach of Huntington Mystery Figure to be analyzed
Constable Charles WENZEL fingerprint expert of Suffolk County, to-day
forwarded to the New York City police perfect photographs of the
fingerprints of three of the fingers of the man found murdered and
burned in an abandoned barn six miles from Huntington yesterday afternoon.
The prints were those of the thumb, index and middle finger of his left
hand which was protected by a glove. By carefully removing the partially
charred glove from the scorched flesh of the slain man’s hand, he was
able to obtain perfect reproduction, WENZEL said.
Contents of the slain youth’s stomach were sent to Kings Park State
Hospital for analysis, by Deputy Sheriff Amza W. BIGGS, in charge of the
investigation. BIGGS said he hoped thus to learn what the murdered man
had eaten at his lat meal. If this is known BIGGS said he will then
attempt to discover where it was eaten and thereby establish the dead
man’s identity.
The fingerprints, a glove of fine quality, a crucifix, a knife and two
keys offered the only apparent hope to-day to establish the identity of
the man.
These and the soft and well groomed hand, the only member not charred
beyond recognition have led Sheriff Amza W. BIGGS to believe the victim
was a New Yorker. Three stab wounds in the back under the right arm, and
a skull fracture at the base, have convinced him the man was placed dead
in the barn or killed there and left to be cremated.
And the fact that up to a year and a half ago bootleggers used the place
for a redistilling plant led him to believe the man may have come from
the New York underworld, that he may have been "taken for a ride" to a
place considered quiet and safe.
The barn is on the farm of Charles L. WATKINS, of Wyan?danch. It had not
been occupied by him for years, and the late bootlegging operations were
carried on until Federal agents stopped them, without his knowledge.
In the last year and a half the farm and its buildings were deserted and
crumbling in decay. The location was too inconvenient for tramps, too
distant for spooners.
WATKINS went to the farm when he learned what had happened. Poking about
the ruins he came upon the body. It was so nearly unrecognizable he
concluded it was a woman when he found a woman’s handbag nearby in the
concrete vat where the body apparently been thrown.
Both legs and one arm were burned off. The only clothing left was the
glove and a bit of cream colored shirt. The remains were taken to Kings
Park Hospital where an autopsy by Dr. Catherine BROCKMAN, assisted by
Dr. William B. GIBSON, Suffolk County coroner revealed the three stab
wounds and the skull fracture. None of the stab wounds was deep enough
to have caused death, Dr. BROCKMAN said but the skull fracture might
have been fatal.
Sheriff BIGGS was doubtful if the fracture could have been cause by a
falling beam in the course of the fire, explaining that the beam were
too light to have delivered such a blow.
"I think he was taken for a ride," he said.
The knife, a pruning model, had a three-inch blade, but this was so
scorched none of the investigators could say if there had been blood on
it. The crucifix was about two inches long. Only the gold cross
remained. The figure of Christ apparently had melted off.
The concrete pit in which the body was found had been build when the
bootleggers operated the place.
