RAID LEADER SUICIDES AFTE LARGE SUPPLY OF LIQUOR AND DAUGS SEIZED Narcotic Officer at N. Y. Port Takes His Own Life _ NEW YORK, Sept. 9.— After a raid by federal prohi- bition and narcotic agents on the Greek steamer King Alexander today in which seven members of the crew Were wounded by pistol shots, Frank 4. Fitspatrick, chief narcotic officer here, who had taken part in the raid. commttted suicide at @ nearby plier, according to a police repors. Liquor valued at 5,000 and drugs valued at 375,000 were confiscated. The King Alexander participated in a midnight Face to port from beyond the three mile limit on September 1, in an effort to make sure that the im- migrants on board would be admitted to the country~under the monthly quota regulation. More than a score of shots were ex- changed by the crew and 15 prohibi- tion agents. None of the prohibition agents were hurt. In order to obtain evidence, the pro- hibition agents said two of them ar- ranged on Wednesday with members of the crew to pay $14,000 on the ves- sel. today for the lquor and. drugs. These two went on the vessel alone. nwhile a member of the oiew noticed a launch with the other agents approaching. He warned his com- rades and battle began. Fitzpatrick, who had searched the vessel with the prohibition agents, was found dead in a nearby ferryhouse after the fight. Phere were two bullet wounds in his heart. The raid was under the direction of ¥rnest L. Langley, chief federal en- forcement agent in New York. The agents searched the vessel thoroughly, the crew. ftecing before them below decks. There was intermittent pistol shots from both crew and agents as the search progressed and when the battle subsided three of the wounded men were found lying in their bunks. “Mr. Langley said that $300 had just been paid by one of the advance agents and part of the contraband articles de- Uvered. when the crew's suspicions Were aroused. . The shooting attracted customs guards and police reserves, who sur- rounded the pier to prevent the crew fleeing. The prohibition agerits said, he , that an officer of the vessel fwhom they were to pay the money ad vanished. The wounded mem) of the crew were taken to a hospital under arrest. Other federal agents declared they jinew no motive for Fitzpatrick’s sui- ide. They expressed the belief that © excitement and strain of the raid temporarily deranged him. = United States Marshal Power, 30 ‘@eputy marshals and 20 policemen Were sent to the Xing Alexander aft- er the Suicide was reported to the authorities to arrest all members of the crew on board and take them to the federal building for questioning.
