Watches SALOR IS SLENT N MURDER QU “Man of Steel” Refuses to Talk in Probe of Fatal Fight. BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 13.—Gail Gilmore, blond sailor dubbed a “man of steel” by officers who questioned him for 14 hours, was called into Richmond County Court today to face a charge of slaying William Moritz, fishing sloop owner, last August. Thomas J. Walsh, district attorney, said Gilmore met police questions with silence or pretended sleep. About th: only thing the officers got out of it, he said, was the privilege of feeding the sallor 12 ham sandwiches and 12 cups of coffee. He charged Gilmore, who was ar- rested Wednesday in Baltimore, with | killing Moritz in a fight because Moritz would not sell him an interest in the Georgiana, Moritz' sloop. Moritz’ body, with bullet and knife wounds in tae head and chest, floated ashore on Staten Island, August 15. “I have evidence that Moritz was killed the night of August 11 last and that the only people on the Georgiana were Gilmore and Moritz,” the prose- cution said. Gilmore contended two sailors, known to him only as “Biff” and “Frank,” were aboard the sloop and that they did the killing. Police also continued their effort to link Gilmore with the unsolved sla: ing of Benjamin Collings aboard Lis! S Electric 50c A WEEK A sturdy 61b. Iron with universal labor saving features.
