G STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, HONT ANGSTERS N ERSEY SLAYIG Sammy Mandel, Known as “Sugar King,” Murdered in Paterson. By the Associated Press. PATERSON, N. J.,, December 12— A gangland slaying of Sammy Man- del, known to police as the “Sugar King,” sent officers on a wide man hunt today, aided by clues provided by & semi-hysterical woman. Mandel was found dying late last night on a sidewalk outside the wom- an’s apartment by neighbors who d two shots and her screams for heélp. They saw two men disappear in an automobile. The woman, booked as a material witness under the name of Anna Cail- lie, alias Kelly, was standing beside Mandel's prostrate form. Mandel, with two bullet wounds in the back of his head, died while en route to a hospital. Woman Tells Story. Miss Caillie was unable to answer police questions coherently at first, but later the police pieced together this story: | Mandel and Miss Caillie arrived at | her apartment about 10:30 p.m. from | an auto ride. In the apartment, she | said, was her brother Frank, and a | short time later a man she identified only as “Pete,” a New York acquaint- ance, was admitted. “I want some ‘alky,’ ” she said Pete told Mandel, who then went out with Frank to fill the order. Pete remained behind. Shortly afterward, she said, the| doorbell rang, and as she opened the | door a strange man pointed a revolver at her. He entered, followed by an- other man. The two then proceeded to rip up the telephone wires, lamp cords, wire connections for a vacuum cleaner and the radio, and bound her and Pete in the bed room. They used also a belt from a dress and some bathrobe cords. | Brother Not Bound. The men, she said, went on swiftly with their work without saying a word. Then the door bell rang again and one of them opened it. In walked Frank, who also was forced into the bed room. He was about to be bound, she said, when the doorbell rang once more. 3 One of the gunmen opened it, then turned quickly to his companion and yelled: “Come on; let's go!” The two departed without binding | Frank, and a short time later, Miss | Caillie said, she heard one shot. Frank freed her and Pete, cutting | the wire cords with a pair of scissors | they left, and she ran out to the side- walk, where lay Mandel's form. Detective Capt. James Smith sent detectives to hunt for Pete, Frank and | the two gunmen. Mandel had often been arrested dur- ing the prohibition era and since. Be- | fore repeal he was known to authori- | ties as a purveyor of sugar for the | manufacture of illicit alcohol. Equator Not & True Circle.
