SLAYER KILLED BY COP OVER VICTIM'S BODY
Wife's Brother Shoots Dress Manufacturer in Family Triangle Row
    The Bronx District Attorney's office was ready to write finis to-day to
a double shooting which cost the life of a wealthy dress manufacturer and
his slayer, the brother of his estranged wife.
    The dead are:
    Christopher COZZETTI, 37, of 2830 Grand Concourse, Bronx.
    Louise De FRANCESCO, 27, his brother-in-law, of 112 East 180th street,
Manhattan.
    COZZETTI was dining with Mrs. SANTOLI, 30, an attractive grass widow,
the mother of a small child, who lives at 686 Eagle avenue, also in the
Bronx.  They left the restaurant at 685 East 187th street shortly after 11
o'clock last night and crossed the sidewalk toward their automobile.
    Mrs. SANTOLI entered the car and turned just in time to see her escort
drop mortally wounded to the sidewalk a bullet in his abdomen.  She screamed
and attracted the attention of Patrolman John LOWE, on duty nearby who ran
up to see De FRANCESCO, a smoking revolver in his hand, bending over
COZZETTI's unconscious form.
    "Hands up," said the officer, covering De FRANCESCO with his gun.  His
only answer was two shots which whistled by his ear.  LOWE returned the fire
and De FRANCESCO fell dead across his victim, a bullet through his head.
    From what the police can learn De FRANCESCO resented the fact that his
brother-in-law, estranged from his sister, was going around with other
women.  Mrs. SANTOLI was questioned and then released.  Officer LOWE was
praised for his quick action.

DIES A VICTIM OF AXE WOUND FROM BROTHER
Mrs. BURGER Succumbs in Flushing Hospital - Veteran Killed Self
    Mrs. Lucille BURGER, 45, died in Flushing Hospital last night from axe
wounds and razor cuts received during a struggle with her brother, John
GOOCH, a World War veteran, in the cellar of her home at 45-48 Browvale
Drive, Little Neck, last Saturday night.
    GOOCH took his life by cutting his throat with a razor after the attack
upon his sister.
    GOOCH had been out of employment for several weeks and was living at the
home of his sister and her husband.  They quarreled frequently and last
Saturday night, while Mrs. BURGER's husband was upstairs in the bathroom she
went to the cellar to get a jar of preserves and her brother followed her,
continuing a quarrel which had started some time before.
    Mrs. BURGER later told police that her brother attacked and cut her on
the throat with a razor and when she picked up an axe to protect herself he
disarmed her and struck her with the axe.
    Then he cut his own throat.  Mrs. BURGER's moans of agony brought her
husband to the cellar, where he found his wife, semi-conscious, lying beside
the body of her brother.

E.J. GOODWIN, Educator, is Dead at 82
Formerly Principal of Packer Collegiate Institute
    Funeral services for Dr. Edward J. GOODWIN, 82, noted Brooklyn educator
and former principal of Packer Collegiate Institute, who died in his sleep
Wednesday at the home of his son, Dr. Norman C. GOODWIN, of 116-18
Eighty-ninth street, Richmond Hill, were held to-day at Pine Point, Me.
    As Deputy State Commissioner of Education, Dr. GOODWIN strengthened and
unified the curricula of high schools throughout the State, and it was
largely through his efforts that regents' examinations came to be recognized
and regents diplomas accepted as certificates of admission to training
schools.  He resigned from the State Board of Education in 1908, to succeed
the late Dr. Truman J. BACKUS as president of Packer.  He retired from that
institution in 1918, announcing that he had decided "to let a younger man
take up the work."  From that time he devoted his attention to writing.
    During his term of office as president of Packer, Dr. GOODWIN instituted
many changes in its curriculum.  The elementary school work was reorganized
and the length of the course was changed from eight to seven years.
Science, history and laboratory work were begun in the lower grades, as was
art instruction.
    After being graduated from Bates College, Dr. GOODWIN was principal of
high schools in Farmington, Portsmouth and Nashua, N.H., Newton, Mass, and
later of the Morris High School in the Bronx.  He held the unprecedented
honor of being an honorary member of the Board of Regents.

2 May 1931
GIRL, 14, DIES OF GAS POISON; MAN, 35, HELD
Pair Lived in Arverne Bungalow Since March - Abduction Alleged
    Adeline HUSTON, 14, who, with her sister, Emily, 11, disappeared from
their home at 528 West Forty-ninth street, Manhattan, on March 6, last, died
of gas poisoning last night after being removed to the Rockaway Beach
Hospital, in Rockaway Beach, from a bungalow room at 318 Beach Seventy-third
street, Arverne, where she had been living for several weeks.
    She was taken to the hospital according to police, by Harry DOSSELE, 35,
a riveter, of 5623 First avenue, Brooklyn.  DOSSELE later was arrested by
police of the Rockaway Beach station on charges of abduction and living with
a girl under 18 years of age.  Gustave GLASSMAN, 33, who is the principal
occupant of the Arverne bungalow, also was arrested, charged with aiding and
abetting DOSSELE.  Both were to be arraigned to-day in Jamaica police court.
            AUTOPSY TODAY
    DOSSELE told the police that he found the girl lying on the floor
between the bed and the wall of the bungalow room he said he had rented from
GLASSMAN, when he returned home from work early last night.  He said he
immediately took her to the hospital, where it was said she had been dead
several hours.
    Although there was a scar on the girl's chest and another on her
abdomen, neither appeared to have been inflicted recently, and police said
they were convinced there was nothing suspicious about her death.
    There was a gas heater burning in the room, and it is believed to have
consumed all the oxygen causing the girl to collapse and finally die.
    Dr. HOFFNER, of Rockaway Beach Hospital, who declared her dead, had the
body removed to the Queens County morgue in Jamaica, where an autopsy will
be performed to-day by Dr. NEIL, the Queens medical examiner.
        SISTER STILL MISSING
    The parents of the dead girl are Mr. and Mrs. John HUSTON.  The father,
police said, has been out of work for some time, and only yesterday the
parents and four other children moved from the West Forty-ninth street
address to another apartment, at 556 West Fiftieth street, Manhattan.
    DOSSELE told the police he had never met the dead girl's missing sister,
Emily, and that he had no idea where she is.

bullet-riddled body in the waters of Long Island Sound near the Marcus LOEW
estate at Glen Cove.
    The body, which doctors said had been in the water at least a month was
identified last night from a partial lingual gold plate attached to four
teeth in the victim's lower jaw.  This tallied with the description
broadcast by police when LEVY disappeared.
    Loops of wire were knotted around the head, neck and limbs of the dead
man and he had been shot five times with a .32 calibre revolver at close
range.
    LEVY, when he disappeared, was said to have been carrying about $25,000
worth of unset diamonds in a wallet.  These and a gold wedding ring with the
inscription "Marie to Abe 5-13-22" were missing.
    The body was found by Jack BLOCK, a Glen Cove boatman, floating near the
breakwater about 1,000 yards from the shorefront of the LOEW estate.  It was
brought to shore by BLOCK, who notified police.
    Mrs. Marie LEVY, the widow, was prostrated at her home at 1510 Ocean
parkway to-day.  The couple have a son, Norman, not quite five years old.
    LEVY came to New York about ten years ago from Savannah, Ga, where he
had lived since coming to this country from Antwerp, Belgium.  He was well
known in the jewelry trade and was considered wealthy.
    On Feb. 14 he left his office at 17 John street, Manhattan, at 11:30
A.M.  He had told his wife to call him at 2 P.M., when he would arrange to
meet her for dinner in Manhattan.
    When Mrs. LEVY was unable to locate her husband, she became alarmed and
notified her brother-in-law, Matthew LEVY, of 706 Fairmont place, the Bronx.
    BROTHER STARTS SEARCH
    Matthew LEVY, who is connected with the law firm of Panken and Levy, 225
Broadway, Manhattan, went to the Sheepshead Bay police station where he told
Detective Albert DALY of his brother's disappearance.  DALY notified the
Missing Persons Bureau and Detective John WARD of that department was
assigned to the case.
    From the day of his disappearance the family has believed LEVY was the
victim of foul play because of the diamonds he had with him.  This was borne
out last night, it was said, by the appearance of the body.
    The family offered a reward of $1,000, according to David MARINGER, a
brother-in-law of the dead man.  This money, it was said, will go to BLOCK
for the discovery.  The reward consisted of $500 for locating LEVY and $500
for information concerning him.
    Inspector Harold KING of the Nassau police said that he and his men
would continue to work in co-operation with the New York homicide squad in
their investigation of the case.  He had nothing to say concerning what
clues, if any, they are working on.

BROOKLYN MEN DIE WHEN TRAIN SMASHES TRUCK

    The bodies of two Brooklyn men killed yesterday when an automobile truck

NOTED DOCTOR SLASHES WRIST, ENDS OWN LIFE
Dr. Cyrus HAMLIN was Descendant of Vice-President
    Funeral arrangements were being completed to-day for Dr. Cyrus HAMLIN,
prominent Brooklyn physician and a descendant of Hannibal HAMLIN,
Vice-President of the United States during Abraham LINCOLN's first term as
President, who ended his life yesterday by slashing his wrists with a razor
blade.
    Dr. HAMLIN, who was the father of Sallie HAMLIN, one-time famous child
performer, now Mrs. Sallie E. DENTON, 10 Westminster road, lived at 180
Sullivan street, on the edge of the Flatbush section of Brooklyn.
    At. 11 A.M. yesterday Dr. HAMLIN, who was 61 years old, told members of
his family he was going for a walk.  Shortly thereafter, his daughter looked
out of a rear window and saw her father's automobile parked between two
private garages there.  She went to investigate and found his body lying
across the bumper of the car which faced away from the house.  It was the
theory of the police that the physician placed the car in that position so
he would not be seen from the house.
    Dr. George McELVARE, of 863 Park place, was summoned and after an
examination ascribed Dr. HAMLIN's death to loss of blood.  A safety razor
blade was found clutched in his right hand.
    The physician was born in Bangor, Maine, and was a graduate of Maine
University and Long Island Medical College.  He had been attached to the
staffs of St. Mary's Samaritan and Brooklyn hospitals, and was a specialist
in diseases of the heart and lungs.
    For the last five years he had not been very active in the practice of
his profession because of his poor health.  A year ago he went to the South
Sea Islands, where he remained six months, but, instead of the expected
improvement in his general condition, there resulted a turn for the worse
and he suffered considerable pain recently.
    His widow, Mrs. Hattie HAMLIN; two daughters, Mrs. DENTON and Miss
Eleanor HAMLIN, and a son, Hannibal, a statistician at Yale University, New
Haven, Conn., survive him.
    Dr. HAMLIN had been for many years a prominent member of the Kings
County Medical Society and he was one of the best known physicians in Brooklyn.

6 May 1931
ABANDONED ON JAMAICA ROAD
Nassau Policeman Shot Approaching Pair In Parked Auto
    Francis (Two-gun) CROWLEY, ex-convict, sought in connection with the
murder of Virginia BRANNEN, dance hall hostess, was the subject of a
redoubled man-hunt to-day when his bullet-riddled, blood stained roadster
was found abandoned in a Jamaica side street, a few hours after the slaying
of a Nassau County policeman.
    The victim was Patrolman Frederick HIRSCH, father of four young
children.  He was shot five times shortly after midnight, when he approached
a parked machine in Black Shirt Lane, near North Merrick, known as a haven
for petters.
    The killer, who fired nineteen bullets, and a girl riding with him, sped
away while a companion patrolman fired six shots after their machine.
    Police of Yonkers who are investigating the Virginia BRANNEN murder,
actively joined the hunt for CROWLEY this afternoon.
CHECKUP BY AIRPLANE
    Police Chief Edward J. QUIRK of that city, joined Assistant District
Attorney Seward K. SPOOR and Detective John KIERNEY at Roosevelt Field
shortly afternoon, and set out by plane for Southampton.  The prosecutor
said they would check information there concerning CROWLEY.
    Brooklyn police, meanwhile, are investigating the killing of two other
men.  One was shot by a detective in front of his restaurant in Flatbush
when, instead of answering questions, he allegedly reached for a gun.
    In Greenpoint, a racketeer was put "on the spot" by the underworld, and
died early to-day of four bullet wounds in St. Catherine's Hospital.
    The dead are:
    Patrolman Frederick HIRSCH, 33, of 305 Hicks street, Bellmore.
    Joseph SCARPATI, 32, of 737 East New York avenue, proprietor of the
Quentin Restaurant, at 3121 Quentin road.
    Morris FISHBEIN, alias Maurice FISHER, ex-convict, shot and killed by
unknown assailants in the apartment of a cousin at 100 Humboldt street.
    MIGHT OFFER REWARDS
    While police sought CROWLEY, it was made known the Nassau Board of
Supervisors and the County Patrolmen's Benefit Association each are
considering posting $2,500 rewards for the arrest and conviction of the
patrolman's assassin.
    District Attorney Elvin N. EDWARDS will ask the supervisors to act when
they meet Monday.  The Patrolmen's Association officers will call a special
meeting this afternoon, they said.
    Meanwhile, as detectives pieced together the story of the battle, they
became convinced HIRSCH met his death because he recognized his killers.
    Captain Emil MORSE of the Nassau Homicide Squad said HIRSCH and
Patrolman Peter YODICE were searching for a truckload of stolen automobile
tires, and inspected the roadster only as a routine matter.
    HIRSCH asked the driver what he was doing.  "Just talking" the driver
said, according to YODICE, and the two patrolmen walked away.  It was then,
YODICE said, that HIRSCH remarked the driver looked like CROWLEY.
    "I'm going back and look at his license.  I'll take another look at his
face, too,"  YODICE quoted.
    WALKS BACK TO DEATH
    HIRSCH went back.  YODICE waited.  A moment later YODICE heard the long
fusillade of shots and the roadster flashed past him, he said.
    YODICE emptied his gun at the car, but it disappeared in the dark around
the corner into Washington avenue.  YODICE found HIRSCH dead.
    The abandoned roadster was located this morning at New York avenue near
the Long Island Railroad tracks. The right side of the windshield was
smashed, there were dents on the dashboard, and a bullet hole in the side
body, blood inside the machine and on the running board, nine cartridge
shells lay on the floor.
    Hospitals were notified to watch for any patient applying for treatment
for a bullet wound.
    Soon after the shooting the Queens Homicide Squad went to CROWLEY's
home, at 134-28 231st street, Laurelton.  CROWLEY had not been seen there in
two months, but the detectives left a guard there in case he should, by any
chance, appear.
    BEATS HIM TO DRAW
    SCARPATO was shot and killed in front of his restaurant in the quiet
Flatbush section at 6 A.M. by Detective Dennis SHEEHAN of the Vanderveer
Park station.
    SHEEHAN and Detective George SEELANDT, on burglar patrol, came upon
SCARPATO talking with a friend, Trygive ANDERSON, 30, of 1737 East
Thirty-sixth street.  The detectives told the two who they were, they said,
and started questioning SCARPATO.
    SCARPATO, according to SHEEHAN reached suddenly for his hip pocket in
which a gun was found later.
    SHEEHAN ordered SCARPATO to put his hands up, he said, and when the man
failed to do so, SHEEHAN shot him.
    The detective summoned an ambulance and SCARPATO was rushed to Kings
County Hospital where he died in half an hour.  A .32 calibre revolver was
found in his pocket.  The dead man's companion, ANDERSON, was not held.
    GANGSTER FEUD VICTIM
    FISHBEIN was slain, police feel certain, in an underworld feud.  The
racketeer - he was known as a muscleman and carried six bullets in his body
from other pistol attacks - visited his cousin, Mrs. Lena ARONSON, in a
second floor apartment at 100 Humboldt street last night.
    Mrs. ARONSON arranged dinner for him.  Later, she went upstairs to visit
a friend in another apartment she told the police, when six quick pistol
reports rang out.
    Not knowing where they had been fired, Mrs. ARONSON started downstairs
while neighbors in nearby houses were putting up windows and going to the
street to see what the excitement might be.
    Mrs. ARONSON found FISHBEIN unconscious and bleeding from four bullet
wounds in his left side.  In the apartment were a .32 calibre revolver, a
.38 and a.25 automatic.  Two bullets had been fired from each.
    Either two or three men or possibly two men and a woman had entered the
apartment quietly, police thought, and shot FISHBEIN, and left before
neighbors had time to realize what had happened.  One of the guns, it was
suggested, might have been FISHBEIN's.
    The racketeer was rushed to St. Catherine's Hospital, where he died this
morning.  He had been unconscious since the shooting.
    QUESTION HIS SISTER
    The ground floor of the house at Humboldt street is occupied by a
poolroom run by Mrs. ARONSON's husband, Barnett.  Assistant District
Attorney TRAPANI quested him and others there until dawn to-day.  He did not
discuss whether he had learned anything bearing on the murder.
    FISHBEIN's police record shows a burglary charge in 1916, a thirty-day
sentence for assault in 1926, violation of the Sullivan law charged the same
year and a few months later an indeterminate Sing Sing sentence for shooting
Meyer LUKOWITZ in a restaurant at ?shing avenue and Boardway, Jan. 10, 1929.
    FISHBEIN was released, but later returned to Sing Sing for violating his
parole.
    Twin since then he has been a traget for underworld bullets.  Six pals
tried to persuade him to enter an automobile in front of 22 Debevoise street
last Dec. 15, and when he resisted put three slugs in him.
    He had hardly recovered at the time, from three others, fired at him
August 26 last, as he sat in a restaurant at 2876 West twenty-seventh
street, Coney Island, not far from the Villa where "Joe the Boss" MESSERIA
was put on the spot.

BOY DIES AS HE SLIDES TO BASE
    A 16-year old schoolboy tried to stretch a single into a two-base hit
to-day in a play hour baseball game at Junior High School, Fourth avenue and
Fortieth street, and died in the attempt.
    Passing first base amid the shouts of his classmates, Robert CANONE a
chance to make second and started running a little faster.
    It was a close play and as he neared the base he threw himself into a
slide.
    But his speed had been too much for his weak heart.  Robert, never got
up from the slide, although his hand touched the base in safely.  Dr.
SCHMIDT of Norwegian Hospital said the boy had died from heart failure.
    A brother, Joseph, who is working, said Robert had suffered from a weak
heart for some time, but school authorities said they had known nothing
about it.
    The two boys lived with their mother, who is now in a hospital, at 959
Thirty-ninth street.

DREDGE SINKS, 3 PERISH IN SOUND CRASH
Steamer New York Rams the Trimount Off Race Rock
    A new chapter of tragedy at sea was written into the adventures of Floyd
GIBBONS early this morning when three men, one of them from Brooklyn, died
in their berths after the steamship New York cut the motor dredge Trimount
in two off New London in Long Island Sound.
    Daniel CHRISTIANSEN, a dockhand, who formerly lived on First place;
Peter WEBB, a cook, of Maiden, Mass., and an electrician known only as Eddie
were the three asleep who drowned when the crash occurred in a heavy mist
off Race Rock, at the entrance to New London at 1:24 A.M.
    Floyd GIBBONS, the globe trotting reporter and radio star, who was
aboard the Tuscania when it was torpedoed during the war, and one of the 275
passengers on the New York bound for Boston, was thrown from his bunk with
the others when the coast liner's captain, W.B. CORNING, ordered the engines
full speed reverse, trying to save the Trimount.  He ran on deck as the
steamer's searchlights started groping about for survivors and threw a life
preserver with a flare attached to the spot where some of the Trimount's
crew were thought to be.
        SAVES FIVE OF CREW
    The five from the Trimount who survived, however, had been picked up
from a tiny dinghy by the motorboard Alice, in charge of Engineer Frank
FANSWORTH, of Stamford, which had been in tow of the Trimount.
    Capt. CORNING said the surface haze was so bad he was proceeding with
barely steerage way, the New York's siren going constantly, when he saw the
lights of the Trimount, bound from New Haven to Providence, a few hundred
feet ahead and just to port.  He had heard the sirens of Race Rock and Gull
Light, distinctly, he said, but no ship sirens from ahead.
    The steamer caught the Trimount amidships, cleaving almost through her
and she went down so fast those awake had barely time to put the dinghy over
the side.  The boat would have swamped had not FANSWORTH cut loose from the
sinking dredge and taken them aboard after which they were transferred to
the New York.
        SEARCH FOR SURVIVORS
    John LOVETT, mate of the Trimount suffered a broken right hand in the
crash.
    For an hour, with the New York's passengers lining the rails to watch,
the steamer cruised about for other possible survivors.
    The Trimount was owned by the Trimount Dredging Company of Providence.
The New York is owned by the Eastern Steamship Company.  She was undamaged.
    Two Coast Guard boats went to the spot where the collision occurred to
search for bodies of the dead.

R.W. DE FOREST DIES; WAS HEAD OF ART MUSEUM

Car Skids and Turns Over Four Times in Passing Another
    Patrolman John RINGHAUSER, attached to the Richmond Hill station, died

    RINGHAUSER was driving along the boulevard.  He caught up with another
car ahead and attempted to speed past it.  RINGHAUSER's machine slid off the
shoulder of the pavement, skidded and rolled over four times.
    The policeman was taken to the hospital and died several hours later.

apparently ignorant of what had occurred.
    RINGHAUSER was 32 years old and leaves a widow and two children.  He

"I am tired and want to rest.  Don't blame my wife."  Mrs. SILVER told
police of Miller avenue station that her husband had been employed as a
driver of a laundry wagon and that he had been left $4,000 by his father
four years ago, but it had been mostly spent on family doctor bills for
himself, his wife and their son, Samuel, 4.

9 May 1931
Body of Woman in Yard of Park Slope Building Structure Hints Suicide
Clothes of Victim, With Notes, Found on Roof
    John R. NICHOLS, an employe of the Brooklyn Edison Company, working on
the fifty-family apartment house in course of construction at 135 Prospect
Park Southwest, to-day found the lifeless body of Mrs. Lena Madeline KRAMM,
a widow, 54, lying in the rear courtyard of the building.
    The body was identified by the dead woman's sister, Mrs. Emma NIELD,
also a widow, of 613 Vanderbilt street, through a note which the dead woman
left beside her hat and coat on the roof of the building.
    According to Mrs. NIELD, her sister's mind has been affected for the
past eight years, ever since the death of her husband.  She has been
confined at one time or another in a private sanitarium in this city and
also in State hospitals.  She was sent home some time ago as cured but
during the past week had been acting strangely and threatening suicide, her
sister said.
    Dr. Charles NEDD, of Methodist Episcopal Hospital, was summoned.  He
held the woman had died of a fractured skull, sustained either by falling
from the roof of the building or by being hit by a blunt instrument.
    The medical examiner's office was promptly notified and while Assistant
Medical Examiner MARTIN was on his way to the scene an investigation of the
roof of the partly completed building disclosed the woman's coat and hat and
a note, lending color to the suicide theory.
    The note was hastily scribbled on three small sheets of paper apparently
tore from a pocket memorandum.
    "Please notify Mrs. NIELD, 613 Vanderbilt street," the first sheet read.
    "Or Mr. SEXTON, Seventh avenue and Seventh street," was written on the
second.
    "Or Mrs. KRAMMER, 613 Vanderbilt street," the third sheet read.
    When Dr. MARTIN arrived he said that the woman had apparently been
drinking.

VINCE' GAFFNEY TAKEN ON RIDE, HIS THROAT CUT
Body of Paroled Killer Found on Street in Manhattan
    The body of Vincent Gaffney wanted for questioning in connection with
the murder of Policeman NEVILE and other shootings, was found in front of
635 West Fifty-fourth street, near Eleventh avenue, Manhattan, to-day.
    His throat had been cut and an automobile had run over his dead body.
He apparently had been taken for a "ride."
    GAFFNEY was released two years ago from Sing Sing prison where he served
part of a 20-year sentence for murder.
    The dead man was identified by fingerprints and his record is as
follows:  February 17, 1914, one year in the penitentiary for petty larceny;
September 1, 1915, dismissed on a charge of felonious assault; December 31,
1915, sent to the penitentiary on a charge of burglary; July 1, 1917,
acquitted on a charge of felonious assault, and on June 10, 1918, sentenced
to Sing Sing for nineteen years on a homicide charge.  He once made a
sensational escape from the Tombs.
    According to police, GAFFNEY was paroled a year ago by Gov. ROOSEVELT
and at the time he came out met and married his sweetheart, who had said
that she would wait for him when he was sent up on the homicide charge.  At
the time, police say, he told them that he was through with the underworld
and was "going straight."

FOUR MURDERS, SAFE LOOTING IN CRIME FLARE
Taxi Driver, Laundry Gangster, Bootlegger, Union Leady Shot
    Four racket murders and a wave of violence and safe looting in Brooklyn
presented a new crime puzzle for police to-day.
    Two of the murder victims were Brooklyn men.  One, John LUQUORI*, taxi
driver and cement worker of Gravesend, who once ran a roadhouse, went for a
ride.  His body, only two hours dead, was found to-day bullet-riddled and
trussed in a laundry sack in an ice truck abandoned in a Wallabout side
street.
    "Silk Stocking Johnny" GUISTRA was a Brooklyn laundry racketeer with
ambitions.  His body was found in the hallway of a Manhattan tenement.  His
own pearl-handled pistol lay beside it.  It hadn't been fired.
    Walter FOWLER, labor foreman and member of the wire lath union, had a
conference at his home in Manhattan with four men and was found murdered on
the stoop of a nearby tenement.
    Anthony BUONACOSI, an alleged bootlegger, met a bullet in a Manhattan
candy store.
    Police arrested Joseph SCELZO, a Sanitation Department employe, and
questioned him about BUONACOSI.  This was the only arrest in the four
killings.
                GROCERY SAFE CRACKED
    Meanwhile detectives are looking for the cracksmen who broke through a
brick wall into the Walbaum grocery store at 417 Ditmas avenues, burned open
the safe with an acetylene torch and escaped with $2,000 cash and jewelry.
    The same gang or another forced a skylight in the Chevrolet Sales
Corporation service station, 1530 ?? avenue, near Kingston avenue ?? mmied
the safe for $500 ?
    ?? Flatbush section a gunman ?? manager, Daniel CARRO ?? the safe of
Joseph Wing?? ?? at 868 Flatbush ?? 850, while down at Bor?? ?? three
blackjack artists ?? Joseph SCARFO, 40, of 448 ?? street; robbed him of $28
and ?? so brutally he may die.  ?? is in Kings County Hospital with a
fractured skull.
    ??iquori lived at 2524 Gravesend avenue, and so far as is known, he had
connections with rackets, but ??re was a shot through the back of his head,
another through his ? and three in his body, when a street cleaner found the
body in a truck in a deserted Wallabout side street.
    The truck was stolen some time between 2 and 6 o'clock this morning from
in front of a garage at 637 Grand street, where it was kept for its owner,
Michael VENTURE, an ice dealer, of 651 Washington avenue.  Louis PICCOLO, of
637 Grand avenue had put it at the curb for him this morning.
    LIQUORI* was identified by his chauffeur's license, bearing his name and
photograph, which was found in his wallet, and by tattoo marks on the backs
of his hands.  The right was tattooed "true" and the left said "love."
    LIQUORI's murder marks the twenty-seventh homicide in Brooklyn since
January 1.  He is the fourth "ride" victim.  LIQUORI had probably been shot
and killed outside the borough, and his body brought back here, detectives
said in accordance with gangland habit.

LAW STUDENT, CRIME GENIUS, SHOT IN CAFE
Worked Auto Racket - Was Waiting Trial in Gem Theft Case
    A volley of shotgun slugs, apparently fired by rum racketeers, took the
life early to-day of Roy SLOANE, 26-year-old prodigy and former student at
Columbia University, whose various exploits at Sing Sing Prison attracted
national attention.
    SLOANE was shot to death as he stepped out of a waterfront speakeasy at
the foot of Dyckman street in upper Manhattan.  In his pocket police found a
false mustache, a fake police badge and a fake driver's license.
    The young genius who spent his prison days studying law in order that he
might plead his way to freedom, had been drinking in the cafe, according to
Jimmie DELUCIA, who was arrested on a charge of possessing liquor.
    DELUCIA said he left his establishment, known as the Mad Dot Boat Club,
at about 12:30 A.M.; and that at that time three young men were at the bar
with SLOANE, who had been suspicious of the trio, it was said, and told the
bartender that he didn't "like the looks of them."  He asked the bartender
not to serve them anything but beer.
        GANGSTER OPEN FIRE
    Finally the three men walked out and apparently got into a sedan parked
across the street.  SLOANE walked out and the shotguns started blazing.  He
was shot in the abdomen and his thigh was badly torn.
    Though they have no direct evidence in support of it, police believe
SLOANE had entered the rum running business and was "put on the spot," by
gangsters.
    Patrolman John PERAGLIA, who detected the faintest sign of life in
SLOANE's frail body, took him to Jewish Memorial Hospital where he died soon
after being admitted.
    SLOANE, who was out on bail awaiting trial on a charge of participating
in a gem robbery barely two months after he gained his release from Sing
Sing, was the son of Mrs. Anna BOGENTOLM SLOANE, B.A.M.A., Ph.D., founder of
the National Arts and Crafts Institute at Washington, D.C., a former
investigator for the Department of Labor and author of several books.  She
had stuck by her son throughout all his difficulties.
    SLOANE was convicted six years ago on a charge of stealing an automobile
in Mount Vernon.  When it was discovered he had served a sentence in
Pennsylvania for two similar offenses, he was sent to Sing Sing for ten
years.
    Hardly had the gate of the prison shut behind him than this paradox of
prodigy and profligate began to study two exits from Sing Sing.  One was
through the law.  The other, over the walls.  His study of the latter was
interrupted by a vigilant keeper.
    The keeper, who had received word of an escape plot, searched SLOANE's
cell and found a strangely filed tool, a guard's cap and the blue coat of a
prison band uniform.
    The State contended the tool was a set of "brass knuckles," possession
of which, in SLOANE's circumstances, constituted a misdemeanor.  SLOANE
maintained it was a key with which he intended to escape.
        CONDUCTS OWN DEFENSE
    Although the youth had been assigned an attorney by the court, he
insisted on conducting his own defense.  Still clad in prison denim, SLOANE,
arose in court and announced he was ready to prove the ambiguous tool was a
key - if the prison guards would produce a screw driver he had hidden in his
cell.  The guards, who had thought they previously had removed everything
from the cell, searched the cubicle again and found not only the promised
screw-driver but two chisels as well.
    Blandly, he showed how the tool could be used as a key.  Then he rested
his case.  For six hours the jurors deliberated.  Then they brought in the
verdict that while the instrument was a key, it could have been used in the
manner of brass knuckles.
    So seven more years in prison were added to his previous sentence.  But
on his return to Sing Sing, prison authorities would take no chances with
the slippery genius.  They put him in solitary confinement.  In solitary,
the you avidly resumed his study of the law.
        OBTAINS NEW TRIAL
    Five times subsequently he sought to obtain an appeal of his second
conviction.  Then one day, prison authorities said they discovered that
SLOANE and two desperate long term prisoners had planned a wholesale break
in which his mechanical talent was to be used in crippling the prison power
plant.  SLOANE and his confederates were placed in the death house for
safe-keeping, precaution taken only a few times in the history of the
prison.
    Despite his complete separation from prison society, SLOANE continued
his bid for freedom by legal means.  Finally, the youth won a new trial on
the automobile theft charge.  He conducted his own case - and did it with
the shrewdness of a first-rate criminal lawyer.
    He produced two fellow prisoners, both long terms, as his main
witnesses.  They testified they had stolen the car in question and that
SLOANE had been "framed."  The jury acquitted him.  But the brass knuckles
sentence was still against him and he was sent up to Dannemora.
        FINDS LEGAL LOOPHOLE
    At Dannemora, SLOANE finally discovered a legal loophole which might win
him his freedom.  He argued that since he had been acquitted of his last
motor car theft he was only a first offender under the law.  The Court of
Appeals agreed with him and he was resentenced on a reduce charge,
misdemeanor, to a maximum penalty of one year.  Since he already had served
four, his release was automatic.
    SLOANE went to work in a New York law office.  Nine weeks after his
return to society he was arrested, identified as one of three armed men who
held up a manufacturing jeweler.  SLOANE was indicted and was out on bail
when the shotgun slugs put an end to his career.

GRIEVED WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE
    Despondent over a week's separation from her husband, Mrs. Antonio
YASESKAS, 32, of 146 Ten Eyck street, committed suicide last night in her
home by inhaling illuminating gas from a tube attached to a wall jet.
Discovered by her daughter, Alona, 12, who found her lying in a chair when
she returned from visiting friends on the top floor of the building, she was
declared dead by Ambulance Surgeon SMITH, of St. Catherine's Hospital.
    Patrolman Emil PAPER of Stagg street station and an emergency squad from
Herbert street station assisted in the breaking into the room.

MOTHER INHALES FATAL GAS FUMES
    Mrs. Annabelle HAGENAH, 50, took her life by inhaling gas fumes in the
kitchen of her home at 525 East Twenty-first street, yesterday, according to
police of Snyder avenue station.
    She was found by her son, William, who summoned police and an ambulance
from Kings County Hospital.  He said his mother had recently been ill and
despondent and had threatened several times to commit suicide.  He had
recently neglected his business to be with her, he said, and remained with
her until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon when she appeared to be cheerful, so
he left and went to his office.
    Two hours later he became worried and returned home to find her dead in
the kitchen.  She sat before the stove, and had tied her head to the stove
with the cord of a bathrobe.

FALLS TO DEATH AFTER CARD GAME
    William RANICKI, 42, married and out of work, whose home was at 418 New
Jersey avenue, was found dead at the foot of a stairway at 415 New Jersey
avenue yesterday.
    Police of the Miller avenue station questioned Walter BROZSKE, who, they
said, had been playing cards with RANICKI a short time before he was found
dead.
    The police said they were of the opinion that RANICKI was seized with a
heart attack and fell down the flight of stairs.  They said there were no
marks of violence upon the body and there had been no attempt made to rob
RANICKI.
    The body, police said, was to be sent to Kings County Morgue where an
autopsy is to be performed.

VICTIM OF AUTO DIES IN HOSPITAL
    Samuel RUVOWLA, 20, a mailer living at 107-55 Lefferts avenue, Richmond
Hill, died of a fractured skull in Jamaica Hospital to-day, as a result of
being struck by an auto driven by Miss Emma PASTERM of 127-06 Eighty-seventh
road, Richmond Hill, in front of his home last night.  No arrest was made,
police declaring the accident unavoidable.

MORRIS REICH, BORO GAMBLER, KNIFE VICTIM
"Monk" Fatally Stabbed at Lorimer Club - Pal Under Arrest
    Morris "Monk" REICH, 52, of 615 Lefferts avenue, known in racing circles
for twenty-five years as a gambler who never welshed, died of two stab
wounds in Beth Moses Hospital early to-day, refusing to identify his
confessed attacker.
    REICH was stabbed outside the clubhouse of the Lorimer A.C., 132a Sumner
avenue, last night, in a brawl with Benjamin BROWNSTEIN, a fellow member,
according to police.  BROWNSTEIN was arrested at his home, 170 Moore street,
soon afterward and taken to the dying gambler's bedside.  He had confessed,
according to Detectives ROBERTSON and SULLIVAN, that he stabbed REICH with
the gambler's own knife, in self-defense, after a brawl in the club over
noise from a radio set.
    But REICH denied it when BROWNSTEIN was taken to his bedside, and died a
few moments after calling BROWNSTEIN a pal.
    BROWNSTEIN is charged with homicide.  He is to have a hearing later
to-day.
        LOST THREE FORTUNES
    REICH won and lost three fortunes during his years of gambling, his
friends said.  Police guessed he may have left $500,000.  He was an Elk, a
leading light in the Lorimer A.C. and widely known in Williamsburg and the
Eastern District sporting circles.  They said he never turned down a fair
bet.
    From what Detectives Thomas STROWBRIDE*, Jr., and James CAHILL learned
from others in the clubhouse, REICH was in a sour mood when he entered the
place at 11:30 o'clock.  The club radio was blaring band music.  REICH
yelled across the tables:
    "Shut that dammed thing off will you?"
    BROWNSTEIN, from a corner table called.
    "What's the matter, Monk?"
    "I had a rotten day."  They said it was REICH's first known complaint
with his luck.  Nobody moved.  REICH addressed himself to BROWNSTEIN.
    "Shut that off and be damned quick about it."
    "What for?"  BROWNSTEIN was quoted, we want to listen to it."
            REICH LANDS BLOW
    For answer, onlookers said REICH stepped over to BROWNSTEIN and as the
latter rose from his chair, landed a left hook on his jaw.
    Monk turned and walked out.  BROWNSTEIN followed him.
    Twenty minutes later Patrolman Michael HARRIGAN, of the Gates avenue
police station, found REICH unconscious on the sidewalk half a block up the
street.
    He had been stabbed in the back and under the heart.  HARRIGAN summoned
an ambulance and loaded REICH in.
    The detectives were waiting for the gambler at the hospital.  When he
regained consciousness.  STROWBRIDGE* went to his bedside.
    "Who did it, Monk?"
    The gambler shook his head, weakly.
    "You realize you're dying?"
    "No kidding."
    "You are.  Who did it?"
            LOSES FINAL WAGER
    "Well, I'll tell you.  I've been gambling all my life.  I'll gamble now.
Make you a little bet.  Bet I walk out of this place on my feet.  And I'm
not identifying anybody."
    The detectives gave it up.  Back at the clubhouse they learned about the
argument with BROWNSTEIN, and soon afterward he was routed from bed and
taken to the Gates avenue station house.  There the detectives said he
admitted to Assistant District Attorney Bernard BECKER he had come up with
REICH in the street, renewed the fight, grabbed the gambler's knife from his
hand at the finish and stabbed him to save himself.

BUTCHER SLAIN AS UNDERTAKER IS 'PUT ON SPOT'
Bandits Escape Without Case - "Ride" Victim's Partner Was Killed
    Deputy Chief Inspector Vincent SWEENEY, Acting Lieutenant Frank BALS and
a squad of detectives are investigating two outbreaks of violence within
five hours of each other to-day.
    Shortly before midnight two gunmen shot and killed Isaac COHEN, a kosher
butcher, in his shop at 198 Highlawn avenue and escaped, leaving the day's
receipts in the till.
    COHEN, 39, who moved here with his wife and three children from
Cleveland four years ago because there were too many holdups out there, died
trying to defend himself.  The bullet that killed him pierced his left arm
at a point which indicated he had raised it, and reached his heart.
                WIFE HEARS SHOTS
    His wife, in the COHEN living quarters at the rear, heard four shots,
and ran into the shop to find her husband lying on the floor in a pool of
blood.  The holdup men had already gone.  Mrs. COHEN screamed for
assistance.  A few moments later Solomon ROSENTHALL, of 1811 West Sixth
street, one of scores of neighbors who gathered in excitement about the
store, summoned an ambulance.  But when Dr. HAUPTMAN arrived from Coney
Island Hospital, he said COHEN had died instantly.
    The murder shocked the neighborhood, coming as it did only a few hours
after gangsters put Vincent GESINO, a longshoreman, 31, of 171 Carroll
street, on the spot.  GESINO was a partner in the undertaking business with
John GESPERI, of 11 First place, and the underworld executed GESPERI Monday
in Manhattan.  GESINO went to his funeral yesterday at the First place
address.
                LEFT WITH CALLERS
    Two men called on him there at 5 o'clock with a message.  GESINO took
his hat and departed in an automobile with his friend Tony ZAPPO, of 570
Henry street.  The two callers followed in another machine.
    The automobiles stopped in front of a house at 1331 Sixty-ninth street.
GESINO got out and led the others up through the hall.  One of his three
companions, police said, shot him four times from behind.  Two bullets hit
him in the back of the head, two in the body.
    GESINO was taken to United Israel Zion Hospital last night.  He is in
critical condition.

SALMON RITES ON MONDAY AS BORO GRIEVES
Justice, on Bench for Twenty Years, Served the Old City
    Funeral services for Special Sessions Justice Arthur C. SALMON, who died
yesterday afternoon at Asbury Park, will be held on Monday at St. Joseph's
Church, to be followed by interment in Greenwood Cemetery.
    Justice SALMON, who has been on the bench for more than twenty years,
found his final rest yesterday after an illness of nearly a year, from
which, it was thought, he was recuperating.  He went to Asbury Park two
months ago to convalesce, and ten days ago his return to the bench appeared
imminent.  A sudden relapse sent him back to the bed which he never left.
    Born in Brooklyn in January, 1853, Justice SALMON attended Adelphi
Academy and was graduated from Stanford Military Academy.  After two years
in Europe devoted to the study of languages, he returned to study law at
Columbia College and was admitted to the bar in 1876, opening offices at 189
Montague street.
    REVISED CITY CHARTER
    In 1186 Justice SALMON was appointed to the commission which revised the
charter of the old City of Brooklyn and two years later he was made an
Assistant Corporation Counsel, which post he held for six years, returning
to private practice only to be appointed law member of the Board of Taxes
and Assessments in 1898.
    At the beginning of 1919 he filled the post of counsel to the Sheriff
and in July of the same year the late William J. GAYNOR appointed him to
Special Sessions where he remained until his death, being granted two
three-year extensions by the Board of Estimate.
        SONS AT BEDSIDE
    Beside his widow, who was the daughter of the late Congressman John G.
SCHUMAKER, Justice Salmon is survived by two sons, Arthur C., Jr., and
Harold Vanderpoel SALMON, who were with him at the end.  A daughter, Mrs.
Marjorie REDFERN, lives at Sandown, Isle of Wight, England.  There are four
grandchildren.
    Justice SALMON was a member of the Royal Arcanum and a former member of
the Montauk and Crescent Athletic Clubs.

S. A. M'ELROY DIES; POLICE INSPECTOR
    Samuel A. McELROY, a retired Inspector of the New York Police
Department, died last night at St. Peter's Hospital in his sixty-fifth year.
    Inspector McELROY, who was formerly for many years in charge of the
inspection district embracing Coney Island and Brownsville, retired about
nine years ago.
    Upon his retirement he took charge and reorganized the special police of
the Ward Steamship Line.  Following his retirement a number of lieutenants
and sergeants who served with him in the police department also retired and
joined in the new venture.  He served in the Police Department for nearly
thirty-five years.

SPINSTER'S ARREST AS KILLER REVEALS L.I. SUICIDE CLUB
Only 26 Out of 50 Members Still Alive
    Residents of Amityville were startled to-day to learn of a weird
"suicide cult" which already may have claimed the lives of 24 of its
original 50 members.
    The existence of such a "club" came to light, authorities said, with the
arrests of a 57 year-old spinster, Louise SCHWARZ, who is under indictment
on a second degree murder charge in connection with the death of her invalid
brother, Edward, 55.
    Miss SCHWARZ was taken into custody when police said they had learned
she was the only one who would have had the opportunity or the motive for
firing the shot which took her brother's life.  The tall angular woman is of
an old and respected family here and had devoted nearly all of her life to
the care of her brother.
        TELLS OF SUICIDE CLUB
    She denied the killing and told police her brother took his own life as
a member of the suicide club.  SCHWARZ was found last Wednesday, freshly
shaven and dressed in his best clothes, seated in an easy chair, dead.  His
ankles were crossed and a revolver lay in his lap, loosely clutched in his
right hand.  He had two wounds in his head.
    Police at first accepted the suicide theory until the coroner pointed
out that one of the shots destroyed his motor centers and it would have been
impossible for him to have fired the second shot which caused his death.
The coroner also said that as SCHWARZ was a helpless invalid, it would have
been impossible for him to dress himself.
    Miss SCHWARZ was then arrested.  She told authorities that if she shot
him she did so while "my soul had flown from my body."  Her brother, she
said, had suffered almost unbearably for the past 20 years and they had
agreed that it was best for him to end it all.
        ONLY 26 REMAIN
    This agreement came, she said, after a meeting of the "Suicide Club" at
her home, when members offered prayers for relief of his suffering to no
avail.  The "cult" originally composed of fifty aged and suffering members,
but with only twenty-six remaining, had an unwritten law, she said, whereby
it was understood that if the weekly prayers for some member failed the
victim would end his life.
    It was under this understanding that the brother and sister decided it
was best for him to end his life, she said.  She helped him put on his best
clothes, shaved him and placed him in the easy chair "so that he would look
his best in death."  She then got the revolver and handed it to him, she
said, leaving the house shortly thereafter, not to return until five hours
later.  When she got back her brother was dead.  She called for a neighbor
who summoned police.
        FACTS FOUND TO TALLY
    Authorities were at first inclined to place little credence in her story
until she told of how another member of the club, George BREITENBACH had
gone home and hanged himself in the cellar of his home after the "club's"
prayers had failed.  Authorities looked up the case and found the details of
the death of BREITENBACH coincided in every detail with her description.
    Miss SCHWARZ went on to name a dozen late residents of Suffolk County
who, as members of the club, had ended their lives, according to officials.
Police were attempting to learn the names of other members to ascertain
whether the missing 24 of the original 50 had met death at their own hands.

18 May 1931
ALIEN, FACING DEPORTATION, STABS WIFE and HER KIN, THEN DIES by GAS at HOME
Runs Amuck With Knife in Flat of Brother-in-Law
When immigration officials checked over the list of undesirables summoned to 
Ellis Island today to be deported, there was no one to answer when the name 
of Genaro SPARZA was called.
SPARZA'S lifeless body lies on a marble slab in the morgue at kings County 
Hospital, awaiting the autopsy required by law, and his wife, Nancy, is at 
death's door in Trinity Hospital, with nearly a score of stab wounds all over 
her body, while her cousin, Nancy MALFREDO, occupies the bed next to her 
painfully but not dangerously injured, also with stab wounds.
SPARZA, who was 31, came to this country two years ago from Italy, worked as 
a laborer and a year ago married Nancy DELACCIO, then 27, and the couple took 
a four-room apartment at 438 Bradford street. There was trouble almost from 
the first. Mrs. SPARZA twice haled her husband to the New Jersey avenue court 
for abusing her. She finally left him and went to live with her cousin, Miss 
MALFREDO, 33, at 448 Bradford street, a few doors away.
    BLAMED HIS WIFE
Saturday evening SPARZA received a letter from the immigration authorities 
ordering him to report at Ellis Island today for deportation as an 
undesirable. Burning with rage and resentment, SPARZA immediately attributed 
his troubles to his wife and went looking for her.
He found her with Miss MALFREDO at the home of her brother, Cafaldo DELACCIO, 
at 241 New Jersey avenue, with the latter's wife, Mary.
He entered, flourishing a knife with an eight-inch blade, and finally 
cornered his wife in one room of the apartment and slashed her time after 
time with the knife. He then stabbed her twice, once in the back and once in 
the left breast, piercing her lung. Miss MALFREDO went to her cousin's aid 
and was stabbed in the back. The knife blade broke off in her body.
    FLED FROM SCENE
DELACCIO and his wife tried to hold SPARZA, but he broke away and fled from 
the house. Someone notified the Miller avenue station and Detectives Charles 
FRANK and Albert BERON were sent to the scene. Ambulance Surgeons ROTHBERG 
and CUTTER arrived at the same time from Trinity Hospital.
The two doctors immediately rushed the injured women to the hospital. Both 
were unable to talk to the detectives and both DELACCIO and his wife were 
much too excited to talk coherently for some time. It was therefore not until 
2 A. M. Sunday morning that the detectives could find out just what had 
happened. They immediately went searching for SPARZA. They found him in his 
apartment, all the doors and windows locked and sealed, with gas pouring from 
seven wide open jets.
SPARZA left no note, but on the table near his body they found the letter and 
envelope from Ellis Island that had caused him to go berserk.

20 May 1931
ARTIST WRITES WORK HAD LONG BEEN TORTURE
Leaves Body to Science in Typewritten letter
Ralph BARTON, brilliant artist and caricaturist, killed himself in his 
penthouse apartment at 419 East Fifty-seventh street, Manhattan, this morning in 
fear of approaching insanity, it was indicated late this afternoon when a long 
typewritten message he left was made public.
heading his letter with the word "Obit" he wrote that he had suffered from a 
melancholia "which for the past five years has begun to show definite symptoms 
of maniac-depressive insanity." For three years it had made work a torture 
and denied him the simple pleasures of life, he said.
"I have run from wife to wife, from house to house and from country to 
country in a ridiculous effort to escape from myself.
In particular my remorse is bitter over my failure to appreciate my beautiful 
lost angel-Carlotta (his wife, now Mrs. Eugene O'NEILL) - the only woman I 
ever loved and whom I respect and admire most of all the human race."
He killed himself, he said, because he was "fed up inventing new devices 
(such as a new gal) for getting through 24 hours every day.
I present the remains with my compliments to any medical school that fancies 
them," he concluded, "or soap can be made of them."
He closed with kisses for his children "and Carlotta."

REJECTED MAN SLASHES GIRL, LEAPS TO DEATH AT PARTY
Police Reach Devoe Street Home as Body Crashes
Because Minnie BLAKE, 40, of 814 Marcy avenue, laughed at him when he asked 
her to marry him at a party at his home at 299 Devoe street last night, Stanley 
KOVACHT, 29, tried to kill her with a small knife and, failing that, ran up 
to the third floor of his home, from which he plunged to his death.
Stanley had long loved Minnie. Frequently he had made protestations of his 
love for her, until shortly before last midnight, when the party was at its 
height he decided to pop the question.
"I want to marry you, Minnie," he said, "If you don't marry me, no one else 
will have you."
She only smiled, pushed him away, and he left the room, only to return 
brandishing a knife and shouting, "I told you no one else would have you."
He made a lunge at her heart, but she shielded herself with her right arm and 
the knife passed through it. The party came to a sudden end, with KOVACHT 
running around the room in a daze, and others excitedly calling the Herbert 
street police station.
As policemen and detectives from the station arrived at the home, Patrolman 
George GEHR, looking up at the third floor, shouted, "Look out." A second 
later, the body of KOVACHT was sprawled on the pavement.

SPOT SHOOTING AT BATH BEACH NEAR SOLUTION
Victim in Hospital Grilled in Killing of One and Attempt on Partner
Bath Beach police were of the opinion today that they had solved the motive 
back of the murder of Guarino GIUESTRA, who was shot and killed early May 14, 
and the shooting of Vincent GESINO, 33, of 171 Carroll street, and Ettore 
ZAPPI, 27, of 570 Henry street.
GIUESTRA and GESINO were in the undertaking business on Hamilton avenue, 
ostensibly, but police said they understood the two men were attempting to "muscle 
in" on the rackets of the late Joe "the Boss" MASSERIA, who was shot and 
killed about a month ago.
ZAPPI, police said, is understood to be a lieutenant of the two men, although 
he insists he is a fruit peddler.
GESINO and ZAPPI attended GIUESTRA'S wake the afternoon of May 14 and there 
GESINO was told a man named Joe wanted to see him at 1331 Sixty-ninth street.
GESINO, accompanied by ZAPPI, went to the address and were fired on in the 
hallway of the building. GESINO was shot four times and is in a critical 
condition in Coney Island Hospital.
ZAPPI fled from the scene with a bullet wound in the back of his neck. He 
went to the home of a relative, Mrs. Angelina PONICA, at 73 Warren street, where 
he remained for four days.
But the bullet wound became so painful that a doctor was finally called and 
ordered ZAPPI taken to Long Island College Hospital Monday night. There police 
were notified and ZAPPI was placed under arrest charged with felonious assault 
in connection with the shooting of GESINO.
Detectives Charles FARRELL and Harold BUCKLEY of the Bath Beach station 
arrested ZAPPI and have been questioning him concerning the activities of GESINO, 
GIUESTRA and others.

DRIVER FLEEING THREE CRASHES KILLED BY COP
Cornered in Driveway - Swings Axe - Bullet Pierces Heart
No charges will be made, it was understood today, against Traffic Officer 
Eugene STOKES, who shot and instantly killed Charles DE MANGIN, 32, a Department 
of Sanitation chauffeur, last night after the latter had fled from three 
accidents for which he was responsible and then threatened STOKES with an axe.
The first accident occurred at Avenue P and Kings Highway when DE MANGIN, who 
was driving a sedan owned by his wife, Amelia, sideswiped a car owned and 
driven by Michael PETRILLO, of 696 Fourth avenue. DE MANGIN sped away along the 
Highway with PETRILLO in hot pursuit. At Flatbush avenue PETRILLO, whose car 
had not been seriously damaged by the collision, called to STOKES, who belongs 
to Traffic J and was regulating traffic at that corner.
STOKES leaped on the running board of PETRILLO's car and the chase continued. 
At East Thirty-eighth street DE MANGIN crashed into a second car, driven by 
Reuben BECK, of 2816 West Third street. Extricating his car from this 
collision, the Sanitation Department chauffeur continued his wild career, crashing 
almost immediately into a third car, driven by Joseph KRASNOPEOLSKY, of 4006 
Highland avenue.
Still the fugitive continued, with PETRILLO and STOKES hot on his trail. AT 
Avenue m and East Thirty-eighth street he lost complete control of his 
automobile, which dashed onto the sidewalk and finally stopped against a tree.
DE MANGIN leaped from his wrecked automobile and fled across a vacant lot 
with STOKES, also on foot closing in on him from the rear.
Twice the officer fired into the air but DE MANGIN kept right on going. 
Darting into an automobile driveway at 3823 Avenue M. DE MANGIN disappeared in the 
darkness but STOKES fired in self-defense and DE found his quarry at bay by 
some cellar steps, waving an axe above his head.
As the officer tried to close with him, the fugitive struck, but missed. 
STOKES fired in self defense and DE MANGIN dropped dead, a bullet through his 
heart. The homicide bureau of the District Attorney's office was notified made a 
brief investigation and exonerated STOKES.
DE MANGIN lived with his wife and two children at 1820 Linden boulevard, 
Ridgewood.

25 May 1931
WIDOW HEARS HIM DESCRIBE KILLING COUSIN
BRIDGETTS Shot Self in Arm, He Admits to Prosecutor
Howard BRIDGETTS, who eluded police two days by riding in a subway,
and walked into Manhattan Police Headquarters at 3 A. M., confessed
this afternoon that he shot and his second cousin, Dr. Joseph ? LOUGHLIN,
early Sunday in Marine Park.
The young broker, who had been blamed by the doctor for gossip which 
caused a rift in the LOUGHLIN family, broke down after a two-hour 
questioning by District Attorney GEOGHAN in Kings County Hospital. Mrs.
LOUGHLIN was present through it, urging him to tell the truth. When 
BRIDGETTS broke down and described how he had fired one shot at Dr.
LOUGHLIN standing before him in the marsh and another through the doctor's
head after he had fallen the District Attorney at once summoned an automobile
and took BRIDGETTS to the spot to re-enact the crime.
Mrs. LOUGHLIN arrived at Kings County Hospital at 1 P. M.
"Tell them the truth, Howard," she said at once.
"No, I won't," BRIDGETTS was quoted as saying. "My counsel advises me not 
to talk."
At that Mrs. LOUGHLIN fainted and was taken to another room in the hospital
where she was received fifteen minutes later. Then she returned to listen while
Mr. GEOGHAN went over BRIDGETT's story bit by bit.
AT one point the wounded broker addressed Mrs. LOUGHLIN, saying:
"Mag, don't you think for a moment I killed Joe."
"No, I don't Howard", she said.
But at 3 o'clock BRIDGETTS, whose motives have still remained a puzzle to
police, was describing the argument in the marsh and the doctor's death.
The long bullet wound in his own arm, which left a bloody trail from the body 
of the doctor to the edge of the marsh, he had given himself, he said. That 
accounted for the three cartridge shells police found.
After a conference of physicians with the District Attorney and police 
officials, it 
was announced that BRIDGETTS' wound was not serious enough to require further
hospital treatment, and hence he was able to be taken to the Sheepshead Bay
police station.
BRIDGETTS surrendered at Manhattan Police Headquarters about 4 o'clock this 
morning accompanied by a lawyer. After being questioned, he was taken to the
hospital. There his wound was treated and x-ray photographs were taken of the
wound, which marks the passage of a bullet which entered the arm at the wrist
upward and made its exit through the elbow, without having broken any bones.
    SURRENDERS THE WEAPON
Besides District Attorney GEOGHAN, his assistant, Frederick L. KOPPF and
Anthony DI GIOVANNI, and police officials were in the room when Mrs. LOUGHLIN
arrived. She was accompanied by Edmond WHALEN, a friend of the family, and
Capt. John J. RYAN, in charge of detectives in the district where Dr. LOUGHLIN
was killed.
BRIDGETTS set out with Dr. LOUGHLIN in the latter's automobile to "settle an
account," Saturday night, wearing a blue serge suit and grey overcoat and 
brown hat. He wore a grey suit and cap when his lawyer helped him up the steps at
headquarters.
    SILENT ABOUT GUNPLAY
After questioning him briefly, detectives took him to Elizabeth street 
station and booked him on a homicide charge. Then he was sent to Bellevue and 
questioned again.
Acting-Lieut. Raymond HONAN of the Brooklyn Homicide Squad and two 
detectives transferred him to Kings County Hospital in a police car this 
morning and there District Attorney GEOGHAN, who had scouted from the first 
the theory that BRIDGETTS and the doctor had engaged in a duel, continued the 
interrogation.
But through all the questioning, BRIDGETTS declined to describe the night 
battle
in Marine Park which ended with Dr. LOUGHLIN dead of two bullet wounds, and
BRIDGETTS himself a wounded fugitive. He was acting "on advice of counsel," 
he said. Police abandoned the duel theory today chiefly because only one gun 
has turned up. BRIDGETTS laid it down, a 32-calibre automatic, on a detectives
desk in Manhattan headquarters. No other gun was found in the swamp and 
BRIDGETTS would not discuss other possibilities
    EXPLAINS BLOOD TRAIL
One of his first explanations concerned the blood trail leading from a spot 
near Dr.LOUGHLIN's body a distance of three blocks to Fillmore avenue and East
Thirty-third street. Its sudden termination puzzled police, since the section was
a lonely one, and not likely to be used either by motorists or taxi drivers.
BRIDGETTS said the trail was his own, and it ended not at the roadside, but 
in an unfinished house at that spot. He went inside it, he said, and with his 
handkerchief made a tourniquet which stopped the bleeding from the wound in his arm. 
BRIDGETTS said he changed his clothes soon afterward, but would not admit he had 
gone to his home at 1003 East Eighteenth street to do so. He lived there with 
his father and two other brothers.
After that, he road back and forth in the subway, unnoticed, while a general 
alarm stirred police in every precinct in the city to a check-up on hospitals, 
clinics and doctors' offices, of applicants for treatment of recent bullet wounds.
    KEEPS MOTIVE SECRET
As to a motive for his strange ride, DR. LOUGHLIN Saturday night, BRIDGETTS
would give none. He denied emphatically that the doctor's reported accusations
against him, that BRIDGETTS had gossiped over the doctor's affairs with Mrs.
LOUGHLIN, had anything to do with it, and that either he or Mrs. LOUGHLIN,
had contemplated a love affair.
BRIDGETTS had quarreled with the doctor, he admitted. But he declined to say
what the cause was - except that once, several weeks ago, he was annoyed 
when the doctors, calling on a friend, had left him and Mrs. LOUGHLIN waiting
in the doctor's automobile for three hours outside the house.The brown fedora 
hat found near Dr. LOUGHLIN's body and a half-smoked cigarette in the grass 
nearby, BRIDGETTS said, were his.
His recital was made from a hospital cot to Acting Captain John J. RYAN of
the Tenth Inspection District, District Attorney GEOGHAN, Acting Lieutenant 
Raymond HONAN of the Brooklyn Homicide Squad, and Detectives GIORDANO
and AMBRASE, and Detectives Albert DAILEY and John MAC DONALD of the
Sheepshead Bay precinct, all of whom had been trying to piece out the story 
of the murder.
    FUNERAL RITES ARRANGED
"He's smart, as they come. Not a word about the shooting," commented 
Lieut. HORAN.
Meanwhile funeral services are being arranged for Dr. LOUGHLIN. He was 
assistant surgical director of the Caledonian Hospital and lived at 2719 
Flatbush avenue. He had been estranged from his wife, Mrs. Margaret WALSH LOUGHLIN,
for two months.
His murder had followed by nine hours a reconciliation effected Saturday after
long discussion with the aid of Mrs. LOUGHLIN's attorney, Leon SACHTER, of
44 Court street.

BUTCHER DIES AFTER ATTACK PLOT OF BOYS
Robbed of $107 Later Lavished on Girls in Dance Place
Four youths, all under twenty years of age, faced charges of homicide in Long 
Island City Magistrate's Court today following the death of Marcus SUSSMAN, 
35, in St. john's hospital of a fractured skull inflicted when he was held up 
and robbed of $107 after leaving his butcher shop at 23-31 Twenty-eighth 
street, Astoria, midnight Saturday.
The four alleged assailants, previously arrested on charges of assault and 
robbery, are said by police to have lavished the money on girls in a chop suey 
and dance establishment until daybreak after the robbery.
    STRUCK WITH BAR
The crime, police say, was planned with the cooperation of Vincent ANGIONE, 
17, of 26-20 North Henry sreet, Astoria, a clerk employed by the butcher.
ZUSSMAN and his youthful assistant worked until midnight before they left. In 
the meantime a few doors away were the alleged conspirators, Carl DIGIACOMO, 
16, of 556 First avenue; George MONACO, 19, of 23-80 Thirty-eighth street, and 
Henry BOYD, 25-80 Twenty-third street, all Astoria. They were attending a 
party at the home of Joseph GROSSO, 19, of 26-28 Twenty-ninth street, Astoria.
It is alleged the trip waylaid SUSSMAN and his assistant who were on their 
way home. ANGIONE was not molested but the other three leaped on the butcher 
from the hallway, according to the police, and DIGIACOMA felled him with a blow 
over the head. using an iron bar ten inches long and weighing four pounds.
    MONEY IS SPLIT
ZUSSMAN was knocked unconscious, and according to police, ANGIONE, in order 
to simulate an attack upon himself, fell to the sidewalk and lay there until 
the butcher regained consciousness. ZUSSMAN told the boy to go home, and himself 
managed to make his way to his own home, 28-07 Twenty-fourth street, Astoria.
There he told his wife of what happened and collapsed. He was taken to St. 
john's Hospital, where it was found that he has a depressed fracture of the 
skull. He did not regain consciousness.
ANGIONA, according to the police, hurried off the rejoin his companions. The 
$107 was give to GROSSO, the host at the party, and he divided it, after 
taking $15 for himself. He is being held as a material witness.
After the money had been split the five youths and their girls, who had been 
at the party, went to a chop suey place where they spent the rest of the 
night. Police say all have admitted their guilt, saying that the robbery had been 
planned several days ago.

POISON KILLS WOMAN IN U. S. ARMY SERVICE
Flatbush Spinster Called Suicide as Medical Examiner Starts Probe
Miss Ida BARNETT, 50, who, until two years ago, when she suffered a 
nervous breakdown, was an employe of the Intelligence Bureau of the
Army in Washington, D. C., was found dead in bed last night in the home
of her sister, Mrs. Ada COYLE, at 75 Lenox road. Dr. Manuel E. MARTEN,
county medical examiner, reported she apparently had committed suicide.
He said he would perform an autopsy at Kings County Morgue today.
Miss BARNETT, who made her home with her sister, had been accustomed
to taking naps in the afternoon. When she retired yesterday afternoon she 
asked her sister to call her at 7 o'clock, and when Mrs. COYLE went to her
room she found the door locked.
the superintendent of the apartment house entered the room through a window,
the apartment being on the ground floor, and found the woman lying in bed,
apparently lifeless. Dr. LAVELLE upon arrival from Kings County Hospital said
she was dead. On a table near the bed was a glass containing a few drops of a
colorless liquid. Police of Empire boulevard and Snyder avenue stations went 
to the apartment to investigate, as well as detectives of the Homicide Squad.
While they were investigating, Dr. MARTEN, who lives in the vicinity, arrived
and after examination of the liquid that remained in the glass and the lips of
the woman reported that she apparently had committed suicide.

BLAST HINTED BY FINDING OF SHIP WRECKAGE
Sea Fox, With 7 board, Not Heard From Since Saturday Evening
NORWALK, - CONN, May 27 - Search of Long Island Sound for trace of
the sloop Sea Fox of New York has been rewarded by recovery of the
bodies of two women, one identified early today as the wife of the owner,
Mrs. Ethelwyn Marcia SNEDDEN, and the other found today that of Miss
Doris DEWEY, psychiatrist and social worker. Dr. Robert SPEAR of New
York University identified the second body.
The second body was found by the occupants of the yacht Jo-Lo of Flushing
L. I., floating one mile off Sheffield Island, nearly twenty-four hours after 
a fisherman recovered Mrs. SNEDDEN's body.
The Sound began slowly today to give up evidences of the marine tragedy in
which the auxiliary sloop Sea Fox vanished.
Search among the small islands off Norwalk, Darien and Stamford, where the
body of Mrs. SNEDDEN, clad in seaman's togs and wearing a life preserver,
was discovered by a fisherman late yesterday, yielded two life preservers, a 
water-soaked woman's coat and the tank of an oil stove.
        FIND OIL STOVE TANK
A Coast Guard patrol boat picked up the oil stove tank, according to Darien
police, and this gave strength to the theory which boatman said was the only
one which could explain so complete a disappearance of a 35-foot auxiliary
sloop in these waters-that an explosion had blown a hole in the boat's sides, 
causing it to drop to the bottom almost instantly.
A. W. PRATT, sole resident of Pratt's Island, brought the life preservers 
ashore and turned them over to Stamford police. One was a round preserver of the 
buoy type and the other was a life belt, with the strap broken.
The coat, said to resemble one worn by a member of the yachting party, was
examined at Darien Police station.

FIND SECOND BODY FROM MISSING SHIP AMONG THE MISSING
Those reported by the Missing Bureau here to have been aboard the
craft were:
SNEDDEN, 28, an instructor of the School of Education of New York
University, and Mrs. SNEDDEN.
Robert MENDENHALL, 29, of the Statistical Bureau of Columbia 
University, a brother of Paul MENDENHALL and Mrs. SNEDDEN.
Florence MENDENHALL, 28, his wife.
Miss Doris DEWEY, 29, psychiatrist attached to the Girls Service
League.
Mark COYNE, 28, an instructor at the Riverdale Country School.
Robert JOHNSTON, 30, a radio and night club entertainer, also was
reported to have been aboard the craft by his family by a friend, literary
critic of the New York Evening Post.
Mrs. SNEDDEN'S body was found floating in the Sound late yesterday
off Collender's Point, about a mile from Darien, Conn., by William P. 
ALLEN, of Stamford, Conn., who was fishing. He brought it to shore and
turned it over to Darien police. The body was clad in a white pull-over 
sweater and blue dungarees such as are used by sailors.
        LAST HEARD SATURDAY
The 35-foot auxiliary sloop Sea Fox had not been heard from since it put 
out from here Saturday, and finding of Mrs. SNEDDEN's body immediately
gave rise to the fear that her husband's craft had either founded in the 
Sound or had been blown to sea by a forty-mile-an-hour wind which blew across the 
sound all day Sunday and yesterday.
An indication that those aboard had warning of approaching disaster was seen
in the fact that a life preserver had been securely fastened around the body 
of Mrs. SNEDDEN.
This spurred searchers into renewed efforts today to find the craft in the 
belief the remainder of the party had escaped disaster by putting out in the small 
dory which always trailed after the Sea Fox. Police and Coast Guardsmen said today
the other guests may be adrift on the Sound if the dory succeeded in 
weathering the high wind. Weather over the Sound was reported comparatively quiet 
yesterday.
        WIFE KEPT AT HOME
Mrs. COYNE, wife of mark COYNE, was to have gone out with the party, but was 
kept at home by a headache. She was prostrated today when she learned of the
finding of Mrs. SNEDDEN's body.
Dr. George B. PEGRAM, head of the Department of Physics at Columbia 
University, and a friend of the SNEEDENS and the COYNES, said the Sea Fox 
had a powerful motor and expressed the opinion it could weather more than an
ordinary storm. The craft was out with some of the party on Saturday 
afternoon, he said, and was caught in a squall in the Sound. SNEEDEN brought 
the sloop back into New York with the engine slightly wet, he said.
Members of the party worked on the motor for several hours, according to Dr.
PEGRAM, and managed, after some difficulty, to get it running again. He said 
he believed they put out either late Saturday or early Sunday for the weekend 
cruise. He was not inclined to accept the theory that the Sea Fox had 
foundered.
He described her as an exceptionally seaworthy craft. It had a small cabin.

WIFE OF VETERAN ENDS LIFE BY GAS
Mrs. Mary GILLON, 34, ended her life early today in the kitchen 
of her two room apartment at 9018 Fourth avenue, by wrapping
her head in a towel, turning on four jets of the gas range and 
laying her head in the heart of the escaping fumes. 
The odor of gas was noticed by??? She was dead when Dr. BUTLER
arrived from Norwegian Hospital. Detectives learned she has a 
husband confined to the Veterans' Hospital in the Bronx, Beside the
body was found a picture, cut from a tabloid, of two caskets being
lowered into graves.

WATCHMAN FOUND DEAD IN GARAGE
Otto DRUEGEL, 60, got a job as a garage watchman last Friday so he
wouldn't be a burden to his relatives. His new boss, Arthur LINDLAD, of
506 East Forty-sixth street gave up his business yesterday, paid DRUEGEL
off, but told him he could stay in the garage at 281 Greenpoint avenue, 
until the end of the month. LINDLAD paid him a visit this morning. He found
DRUEGEL dead, hanging from a rope tied to a beam.
DRUEGEL had lived with his relatives at 572 Gates avenue.

BLAMES DRIVER IN DEATH CRASH
Fire Commissioner DORMAN made a statement today blaming the 
taxicab chauffeur for the fatal accident yesterday at Eighth avenue
and fifty-eighth street, Manhattan, between Engine 23 and the cab 
in which a woman passenger was killed. Commissioner DORMAN 
said:
"From the reports made to me it would appear that the responsibility
for the accident and its resultant death to a young woman passenger
in the cab is solely that of the chauffeur of the cab.
"The driver of the fire apparatus, west bound in Fifty-eighth street, was
signaled by the traffic policeman at Broadway and also by the traffic
policeman at Eighth avenue to keep coming on.
"It is most unfortunate that a young woman was killed, but the 
indefensible conduct of the taxicab chauffeur is but typical of what the
New York Fire Department has to contend with every day and night."

COAT AND WRECKAGE FROM SLOOP FOUND; MORE BODIES  SOUGHT
Search of Ships, Planes for Five Other Bodies Is Intensified
A coat and three hatch covers, believed from the missing sloop Sea 
Fox were found near Darien, Conn., today.
Robert LINDSEY, Rowayton boatman, found the coat, a reserve
officer's training corps coat bearing an arm band lettered "C", floating
off shore. A large hatch cover and two small ones, painted battleship
grey, were washed up on the shore between Darien and Stamford.
The bodies of two women aboard the craft have been recovered from
the Sound. A body identified as that of Miss Doris DEWEY, 29, 
psychologist and head of Bellevue Hospital mental clinic, was found
floating off Sheffield Island, near South Norwalk, Conn., yesterday,
about four miles from Collender's Point, where the body of Mrs. 
Ethelwyn Marcia SNEDDEN, also a psychologist at Bellevue, was
found the previous afternoon.
            FIVE STILL MISSING
Finding of the burned life preserver, which was broken into two 
pieces, led to the belief the 35 foot craft had caught fire and burned.
Search by police and civilian planes and boats was intensified today
for some evidence of the wreckage and the bodies of Dr. Donald
SNEDDEN, 28, Mrs. SNEDDEN's husband and owner of the boat.
Robert JOHNSTON, 38, night club and radio entertainer; Mark COYNE,
painter and instructor of art; Robert MENDENHALL, 29, Columbia
University instructor, and Mrs. Robert MENDENHALL, 28, former
Theater Guild actress.
Miss DEWEY's body was found by Mr. and Mrs. C. V. PETERS, of
Flushing, who were on a pleasure cruise in their cabin boat. She was
clad in a bathing suit and beach pajamas. Identification was made by
Prof. Robert W. SPEAR, of New York University, a relative. The medical
examiner said he believed Miss DEWEY's body had been in the water at
least three days.
This would set the time of the disaster at some time Sunday, only a few
hours after the party put out from City Island.

TWO NOTES LEFT BY DEAD TENANT
Rahhal POFEIK, 45, was found dead in a chair in the kitchen of his
home at 433 Fifty-seventh street by the janitor of the apartment building,
Harry THOMPSON, early today. The jets of the gas stove in the kitchen
were open.
Dr. PETRUZZI of Norwegian Hospital worked over the man, but was 
unable to revive him. Police said they found two notes, one to a sister, a
Mrs. ABDALLA, and a brother. The notes were not opened.

ROBBER KILLED BY POLICEMAN IN HOTEL LOBBY
Bullet in Chest Ends Flight After Holdup of Speakeasy
A robber was trapped in the lobby of the St. James Hotel in
East Forty-eighth street, Manhattan, today and shot to death by
an expert police marksman only a few minutes after he and a 
companion had held up a speakeasy in the busy theatre district.
The unidentified man and his companion entered Michael MORRO's
cafe at 262 West Forty-sixth street and robbed the bartender of $600.
When they got outside they fled in different directions. Patrolman 
Alexander CAULDER was attracted by the haste of one of the men and
chased him east of Forty-fifth street into the lobby of the hotel.
As the policeman entered, the robber was standing with his back to the
desk waiting, with his revolver drawn. CAULDER leaped behind a 
partition, took careful aim and fired one shot, the bullet striking the man
just over the heart.

LODGER SUICIDE IN OZONE PARK
Joseph LA BELLE, 47, was found dead last night with a gas
tube in his mouth in his furnished room at 127-12 
Ninety-seventh avenue, Ozone Park, according to the police.
His body was discovered by Rose FORNECKER, another
lodger in the house, when she forced entrance to the roof
after detecting an odor of gas. Police listed the death as a
suicide.

LITTLE BOY FATALLY HURT BY AUTOMOBILE
William MC FADDEN 7, of 1362 Ocean avenue, died in 
Madison Park Hospital today from injuries sustained when
he was struck by an auto driven by Daniel BUCKLEY, of
179 Fulton avenue, Hempstead, on May 16 at Ocean avenue
and Avenue H. BUCKLEY reported the death to the police.

HEAD SEVERED, TAILOR'S DEATH PROVES ENIGMA
Union St. Man Collapses After He Calls for Help
Police today were seeking a motive and the identity of the
slave of Salvator LOMBARDI, 35, a tailor who was found with
his throat cut in the hallway outside of his bachelor apartment,
on the third floor of a tenement house, at 632 Union street
last night.
Police of the Bergen street station and detectives of Homicide
Squad are investigating the murder. Patrolman Joseph BARRETT
ran up to the third floor of he house and found LOMBARDI lying
lifeless in the hall, his head nearly severed, after he had been 
attracted by cries for help from Luigi MAGNO and his wife
Mary, who live on the same floor. They told the policeman that
they had seen LOMBARDI run from his apartment, calling to them
for help then had seen him collapse.
Examination of the apartment revealed no traces of a struggle having
taken place. On a table police found several cigarette butts, two
empty wine glasses and an assortment of food, which indicated to
them that the tailor might have had guests last night.
Tenants in the building told the police that they had seen no strang-
ers in the building. They also said that they had heard no noises 
that might be associated with a hurried exit down the stairway.
Police think the tailor's assailant may have left the apartment by 
means of a fire escape.
LOMBARDI, who came to America about three years ago, and who
was employed in a tailoring establishment on Seventh avenue,
Manhattan, has a wife and two children living in Italy. He had planned
to bring them to America in July.

HIT RUN AUTO KILLS WOMAN AT WESTBURY
Brooklyn Victim's Body found Crushed by Passing Milkman
The body of a young woman, believed to be Miss Beatrice
PHILLIPS of 1961 Ford street, was found early today on Post
avenue, Westbury, near the Salisbury Golf Club, about 500 yards
south of Old Country road.
Her skull was fractured, her clothing was torn and there was
bruises on her body indicating she had been struck by a hit-and-
run driver.
Inspector Harold R. KING, chief of Nassau County detectives, said
there was not doubt in his mind that it had been a hit and run case.
He said that he had learned the identity of the young woman from
two soldiers stationed at Roosevelt Field No.1, whose names had 
been found in the dead woman's handbag.
Inspector KING said he had been informed that the death had been 
rumored as a murder but this he declared was not supported by the
facts.
The body was discovered by Stanley ZUSHOSKI, of 5311 Skillman 
avenue, Woodside, a milkman. ZUSHOSKI reported the find to the
police. An autopsy was performed by Dr. Carl HETTESHEIMER of the
Nassau Hospital who said skull fracture caused death. Then the body
was taken to Cornell's morgue in Hempstead.
"I want to dispel the report of a murder in this case," Inspector KING 
said, "The girl died from a fracture of the skull and lacerations of the
brain. Aside from that her only injuries were a gravel abrasion on her 
right hip. She has bruises and cuts on the back and a broken right arm.
The doctor does not think any car ran over her more than once. No cars
ran repeatedly over her body. At the Brooklyn address, detectives found
no one at home."

CHILD IS KILLED BY CLOTHES POLE
Tessie BAALKE, 3, was fatally injured yesterday when the upper

her family lives at 28-32 Thirty-fifth street, Astoria.
The child was at play in the yard and the heavy stick of wood, 
which was about 15 feet long, knocked her to the ground uncon-
scoius. She died later in St. John's Hospital, Long Island City, 
from a fracture of the skull.
