Dice Fumished Clue But all the underworld of the East side knew another story, and from Saturday night to Monday little else ‘Was talked of in the cafes and “blind tigers” of the meighborhood. A single dice lylng “ace” side up beside the body of Locaslo the dead man's blackened eye and the di tinct marks of teeth on his left hand were the loose end by which police picked up the threads of the same story. Officlally, police would neither af- firm nor deny the nlleged hold-up. But the story, as it is being told on the east side, is substantlally as fol- lows: Late Saturday night Locasi known as “Charles Evans,” “Chick,” with three companions, “crashed” the craps game in the Christie street tenement. With their revolvers they lined up against the wall the 41 players and robbed them of cash and jewelry to- \ taling $30,000. All four of the robbers could have ade their escape easily, but Lo- casio had a private grudge to sgttle, which proved to be his undoing. He told his companions to “beat it with:the dough” and then singled out three of the gamblers saying: “I have a personal matter to setfle with these men.” The three singled out needed only one guess as to Locasio's intentions, They were unarmed, but they had the courage born of despair. Before the gunman could pull the trigger one of the three sprang upon him and struck him a stunning blow in one eye. For some reagon Locaslo did not shoot, but wheeled and struck the man in the mouth with his left hand. His delay in using his pistol was fatal, for the others sprang upon him from behind, wrested it.from him and shot him déead. SCAPELATTI SEES MAYOR Bays He Furnished List of Neighbors Who Did Not Object to Construc- tion of Public Garage. Philip Scapelatti, who was granted 2 permit for a public garage on High street, and was ordered yesterday to discontipue work, objection having been raised by a property owner in the neighborhood on the ground that the section is residential and his consent had not been given, today called on Mayor A. M. Paonessa to lay his case before the city's chief execu- tive, Scapelatti furnished the building inspector with a list containing the names of some of his neighbors as walving their right to have the permft refused. The inspector, he told the mayor, said the list was all right and issued the permit. The neighbor then brought his objections to Chair- man I. Wexler of the commission and it is Wexler's intention to consult with Corporation Counsel John H. Kirk- ham relative to a hearing for the op- position. 7 Mayor Paonessa advised scapelatti ko discontinue work pending word trom the building commission. The mayor will personally investigate the matter. . MUSHROOMS KILL WOMAN. Baltimore, Sept. 26.—Mrs. Annie BSchlinski died here, and Thomas C.

GERMANY WORRIED |WARD DEFENSE 5 ABDUT SEPARATION (Continued from First Page) of passive resistance offers a suitable moment for the accomplishment of their designs. The secessionists have organized a special police force which is to be clothed in green uniforms, similar to those worn by the Prussian ‘“green police.” Situation Is Grave The German press in the Rhineland admits the gravity of the situation arising from the secession sentiment and declares this will materially com- plicate the impending negotiations with France. It gives warning that the strength of the movement must not be underestimated. “Rhinelanders, be on your guard,” the Cologne Gazette captions its edi- torials which remarks that the veil of secrecy with which the separatists have attempted to conceal their ma- chingtions now has been removed. Give No Quarter Cologne, Sept. 26.—“Give no quar- ter to the secessionist traitors,” is the command given by the labor leaders in the Rhineland to their following, who are urged to bend all efforts toward the maintenance of national unity. The opinion of the German press in the Rhineland area supports the Berlin government's action in calling off passive resistance, but warning is given against possible advantage be- ing taken of the situation by the separatist elements. | “This step deprives France and Belgium of their last pretext to dodge & reasonable settlement,” says the Cologne Gazette. The Volks Zeitung admonishes the populace to observe order and dignity. German qulirters represent popular hatred of the separatists as fast crystallizing into extreme indignation. “It we hate a Frenchman because of the torture we have been forced to endure,” said a German political leader, ‘‘we despise a separatist ten times more. “However,” he added, whenever we run into a secessionist we scent a Frenchman.” 'FIVE PEOPLE HURT.

Pittsfield, Mass, Sept. 26.—Five perosns, all employes of the Gen- eral Electric company here, were. in- injured, one seriously, in a rear end collision of #olley cars in the busi- ness center of the city late yesterday. One car crashed into another that had stopped to discharge passengers. 1neé MAKING ITS PLEAS (Continued from First Page) after 10 o'clock. Shortly before Jus- tice Wagner answering a question by Attorney Gen. Sherman‘ sald there would be no time limit on the sum- rmations, As the aged chlef defense counsel arose and took his stand before the state counsel table, facing the jury, a hush fell over the spectators who filled all the seats and were jammed tightly into the aisles along the walls, The First Hour. The first hout of Mills’ summation was devoted to an arraignment of the methods used by the prosecution. He said the state had presented its case unfairly and unjustly. Charging that ‘witnesses for the state had been im- |} properly coached, he pointed out that 72 witnesses had been heard by the grand jury while only 32 Had been called before the trial jury. Teared Own Witnesses. The prosecution, Mr, Mills asserted, had not dared to call the other 40 witnesses because their would have been riddled by cross-ex- amination. If these additional wit- nesses had been called, he added, their testimony would have been 8o discredited that the state’s case would have been thrown out of court. Turning to Mrs. Ward, who had been sitting, her head bowed, beside Ralph Ward, brother of the accused, Mr. Mills called upon the jurymen to observe the terrible effect which the strain of the proceedings had had up- lon her. Pity For Mrs. Ward, Exhibiting to the court room e large photograph of Mrs. Ward ap- parently taken before the slaying of Peters, Mr. Mills called upon all those present to compare the youthful fresh faced woman on thd photograph with the bowed worry-worn figure who sat sobbing at the defense counsel table. “By the side of my client,” Mr. Mills continued, “his loyal and devot- | § ed wife—the woman God gave to to be with him, has sat throughout the proceedings. She has stuck to him through trials and tribulations as well as in prosperity. You face is worn with grief from this per- secution-of 16 months."” Mrs, Ward Sobs. As the defense counsel pointed to her, Mrs. Ward sobbed unrestrained- ly, her body shaking convulsively. Ralph Ward put his arm over the back of her chair and whispered words of comfort. From the back: of the “room, fygm Hand to hand through the spectators, a glass of water was passed to Mrs. Ward.
