MRS. MORS: KILLING REVEALS GEM PLOT Smuggling Scheme ExtendedI ‘Throughout Country—Prin- cipal Hunted. jewel smuggling conspiracy of st dime ons has been uncovered customs servico agents working [ fmif o dozen sections of the coun- the killing t August of eresa Mors in Los Angeles. | Smuggled jew ed at more 50,000 already has been seized, n known ns Medianski, who 4 to have left the country, is g sought as the active director, if not the actual head, of the con- spiracy, in which he is alleged to have had a dozen or more aides, The killing of Mrs, Mors, with which “Kid” MecCoy is charged, served, in so far as the conspiracy 1s concerned, It is said, merely to provide the first definite lead into the smuggling maze, some of her jewelry having been identified after the crime as part of the illicit imports. A simi- lar lead was opened in Los Angeles Monday with the killing of Harry I Katz, and officials estimate that “several hundred” pesons scattered widely throughout the country have come Innocently into possession of the smuggled gems, about half of which, they think, will never be 1dentified. Bought In Austria and Germany. Although much work remalns for * the customs ents in searching out further de s of the conspiracy, their success thus far has been such that the Treasury felt justified in making public part of the story as reported by customs officials in New York. The smugglers are said to have main- tained their headguarters in New York, but Pacific Coast centers, especially Los Angeles and San Francisco, appear to have provided their principal markets, judging_from the amounts recovered there. 'Most of the Jewelry, the agents reported, w purchased by the smug- glers in Austria and Germany with the depreciated currencies of those nations, after some of it had found its way out of Russia. Whether Medianski operated for him- self or as an agent for higher-ups was not indicated, but, according to custom service records, he was the head of the active operations and had enlisted a dozen or more aides in disposal of the Jewelry. D t stow in safe places or are wearing it, not knowing its origin. It may Le some weeks before the customs authorities clean up the whole case. They hope to bring conviction of some of Medianski’s aides, whose names it still necessary to withhold, and they have uted efforts looking to the apprehension and return of Medi- anski. MURDER IS MYSTERY. Two Men Quizzed in Jewel Deal- er’s Death. ovember 13.—The police today admitted they weremys- tified by the murder Monday night of Harry L Katz, musician, real es- tate operator and diamond broker. Chase Carroll, barber and husband of a woman friend of Katz, the sec- ond man detained for questioning, was early today after he had es- d an alibi other man questioned and re- leased was Hal Hail, Santa Monica real estate bro who met Katz less than 10 minutes before the shooting. He was instructed to report at cen- tral police station again today, as was Carroll. The trail of dlamonds, which inves- tigators believe yet may solve the slaying of Katz, who seemed to have carried on all his affairs In terms of ones, grew more definite with the discovery of four luable diamonds pledged by Katz les pawnshop, but two xes expected to yield missing gems revealed unimportant papers. ? }A i Rail Official’s Home Burns.
