Free for Rall Starts A free-for-all battle of fisticuffs and clubs that lasted five minutes ended when several,of the demon- | whose identity was closely concealed by police was admitted to the room today in Polyclinic hospital where Jack (Legs) Diamond is near death from four bullet wounds. It was veported the man was a priest who had arrived from Acra, N. Y., where Diamond has a country Fome. For the first time since the wounded gangster was taken to the hospital, the two policemen who have stood guard at his bedside lett the room. That caused reports that | the mysterious man was about to take Diamond's last confession and that the gangster had only a little ‘while to live. Crain Completes Probe District Attorney Thomas Crain completed his investigation of the Diamond shooting and expressed the opinion that “Legs” had fought un- armed against the two men who in- vaded the Hotel Monticello Sunday. The bullet holes in the ceiling indi- cated, Crain said, that Diamond had struggled with one of the men and that the shots had gone wild. The second assailant, according to Crain, walted until Diamond offered a good target and fired four or five shots, all of which struck “Legs.” Police announced they were in- tensifying their search for Jaceb Ginsburg, manager of the Hotel Monticello whom they consider the most valuable witness in the case. He has not been seen here since he drove away from the hotel in an au- tomobile shortly after the shooting. It also was learned that “Count” Miller, described as Diamond’s private secretary, had vanished. New York, Oct. 14 (P—Activities which brought a second young wom- an into the case, found police today no nearer a solution of the shoot- ing of Jack *“Legs” Diamond than when he was found in a hotel Sun- day with five bullet wounds in his body. The wounded gangster, after a day in which he rallied from the effects of his wounds, took 2 sudden turn for the worse early today. Hos- pital attendants said he became res:- less and complained of being m great pain. Hypodermics were ad- ministered to quiet him. Police Commissioner Mulrooney maid that the fragments of evidence| which had been gathered indicated | Diamond had been shot by mem- bers of his own gang and not by ri- val gangsters. Jean Nash, formerly owner of beauty parlor in Newark, N. J., wa the second girl to be questioned. She was brought in after police receiv an anonymous telephone call sa she had been heard to say in a Wi 52nd street grill last week that Dia- mond had less than 10 days to live. Denles Knowing Diamond She denied knowing Diamond o any of the other persons mentioned in the case and vehemently denied making any statement Diamond’s expectancy of life. lice released her after four hours’ questioning. Efforts were redoubled today locate Jacob Ginsberg, manager of the Monticello hotel, in which Din- mond was shot by two men came into his room as he sat on the edge of his bed Sunday forenoon. a Ginsberg who has been described as | Diamond, " disap- peared after having the wounded gangster taken into the Ginsbers suite in the hotel and calling an am- bulance. a close friend of After a day of investigation, Com- | missioner Mulrooney said he did not belleve there was any between the shooting of and the supposed kidnaping of Leo | Steinberg, 28 years old, described as| a Brooklyn rum runner, who has béen missing several days. Belleve Him Kdnaped Brooklyn police were working on the theory that Steinberg had been kidnaped by Vannie Higgins, an as- sociate of Diamond in the liquor business and that the shooting of Diamond was a reprisal tor the kid- naping. All day questioning of Miss Mar- fon Strasmick or Roberts failed to add anything material to her origin- al story that two men had been an- nounced while Diaomnd was in her|Ure room Sunday forenoon and that he had gone to his own room to receive them. She denied hearing the shots. Gangsters in Catskills tskill, N. Y., Oct. 13 (A—With 27 gangsters hiding in the mountains near Catskill today—20 of them Jack (Legs) Diamond's hoodlums, the other seven members of a rival gang —Catskill was in a fever of anticipa- tion, awaiting further castualties on the Hudson valley beer front. The two parties of gunmen arrived In Catskill at various times last night and eventually disappeared some where between this little village and Acra, where Diamond's home is. Where they all were nobody knew but it was thought they were in the hills near Acra, looking for each other. Meanwhile Catskill was al- most holding its breath expecting momentarily some reprisal for the shooting of Diamond last Sunday in New York, Plan to Burn Home The excitement was fanned by a call from New York city police yes- terday that a rival gang planned to burn Diamond’s home. Immediate- ly the forces of law and order were | mobilized to prot eteer's fortress from such tempt. state troopers there; Sheriff Milton Balley, Under-Sherift John Felton, and Police Chief Harry Klein and Patrolman Dubois from Catskill. Chief Klein left his other patrolmen 1o watch over Catskill. The grounds and road were illum- thated by powerful floodlights. Two rars, carrying unknown men, cruised up and down in front of Diamond's lace for quite a while but left with- dut doing anything to which police Yould take exception. After they had Yone, Sheriff Bailey, who was sitting on Diamond's front poreh, drew a long breath and said: “If anything's going to happen I hope it happens quick.” The Diamond hoodlums then feft ct the boss rack- an at- regarding | Po- | {had covered to! who | connection | Diamond | Newspapermen found three’ | ing a heavy fog here and reports ot the protection of their wounded never be again,’ I'll contradict it.

The 20 gunmen left the inn after midnight but where they and the seven others, went to, is a mystery. They were not they are somewhere in the hills be- tween the inn and Acra, looking for each other. One of Diamond's reputed beer runners, Skunky Kline, is in Cats- kill jail. He was arrested in New York when he was found in a blood- stained car owned by Harry Western, Catskill roadhouse operator, whose disappearance some months never has been explained. There was only one guard in the jail until a state trooper and a deputy sherift joined him on the theory that the 20 Diamond hoodlums cruising around might attempt to free him. BANKER ADMITS 24801 SHORTAGE Leon F. Larkin, 20, Surrenders | to Federal Officers Boston, with the embezzlement of bank funds, Leon F. Larkin, 25, transit manager of the Third Na- tional Bank & Trust Co. of Spring- field, surrendered to federal author- itles for arraignment here today. The money was alleged to have been taken from the bank over & period of six years. The shortage was discovered by Federal Bank Ryan last Friday while he and his subordinates were making the semi- annual audit of the bank's books. The examiners spent so much time over Larkin's accounts that he is alleged to have become panic stricken and to have confessed the efalcations to a junior official of the bank. Spent Money On Car Federal authorities said today that Larkin, employed by the bank since 11922 and now receiving a salary of |about $40 a week, had confessed tha the took the money over a pe- {od of six years. They quoted him as saying that he never took more than $200 at a time and that he pent the money for an automobile and in having a ‘good time. Investigators declarec that Larkin his defalcations by arging shortages to the accounts of clients while audits were in prog- ress. At the completion of such ex- aminations, they said, the charges from clients’ accounts. Assistant United States Attorney John J. Walsh declared the bank was fully covered by a $250,000 bond and that the shortage would in no way affect its clients. Later today Larkin was,arralgned before United States Commissioner Edwin C. Jenney, waived reading ot the complaint, pleaded not guilty, and was held fn $5.000 surety for arraignment in federal district court. DETAILS IMPORTANT MINISTER ASSERTS Rev. W. H.
