¢ ’ i [ DIAMOND SHOWS MORE STRENGTH Gangster Rallies and May Live, Crain Asserts New York, Oct. 15 (® — Jack “Legs” Diamond, New York gang- ster, who was shot Sunday in his hotel room, appeared today to be winning his fight to recover from his five bullet wounds. He rallied during the night from a pulmonary collapse he suffered yesterday afternoon, and today Dr. C. M. Burnett, chlef resident sur- geon of Polyclinic hospital, describ- ed 'his condition as satisfactory, though still critical. When Diamond arrived at the hos- pital Sunday, surgeons said if he lived until nightfall today he would have an excellent ¢hance of recov- ery. At that time, however, the odds were estimated at 100 to 1 against his living until tonight. Crain Sees Improvement District Attorney Crain saw him this morning. “There was a marked improve- ment siuce Sunday,” Mr. Crain ob- served. ‘“His voice was strong, his cyes were clear, and he appeared to be on the road to recovery.” Mr. Crain was not satisfled with the information he obtained yester- day from John M. Ginsberg, mana- ger of the Monticello hotel, where Diamond was shot. “Yesterday I let Ginsberg talk to wme,” he said. “Today I expect to talk to Ginsberg. Bandit Near Death New York, Oct. 15 “Legs” Diamond battled to stave oft death today while police strove to pick up the four-day-old trail of the gunmen who shot him. The Broadway gangster who was shot five times in his room in the Monticello hotel Sunday, rallied somewhat early today after surgeons had issued a bulletin early last night saying his condition had been com- plicated by a pulmonary collapse. At the time the evening bulletin was issued little hope was held for his recovery. Four persons were held as mater- ial witnesses today including John M. Ginsburg, manager of the Monti- cello hotel. The others were Miss Marion Strasmick, show girl com- panion of Diamond in the hotel; Jo- seph Goldie, assistant manager; Thomas Marshal, clerk, and John Hughes, bell boy. Ginsburg Surrenders Ginsburg, who disappeared imme- diately after the shooting, surren- dered yesterday while police were seeking him. He walked into the of- fice of District Attorney Thomas C. . Crain, accompanied by his wife D. Bennett, a real estate operator of Fdgewater, N. J. Ginsburg said he was preparing to take his family to Bennett's home in Edgewater Sunday when he heard “a lot of noise—it sounded like a lot of shots.” He said he opened the door of his suite and saw Diamond coming out of his room, holding his head and | staggering along in a crouching po- sition. The hotel man repeated his con- versation with Diamond as follows: « What happened?’ I asked him as I ran up to him. He said. ‘T'm hurt. Please get your doctor right away. Take me to your room and please get the U'm badly hurt'.” Asked for Whiskey Ginsburg said Diamond went into his suite and lay down on a bed and asked for whiskey. He then sald he called a doctor and sent for the as- | sistant manager. Diamond then asked for Harry Drescher, a friend, who lived in the hotel. Ginsburg said Drescher came in and asked Diamond who shot him. s “Don't ask me any questions, Ginsburg #aid Diamond replied. “Somebody gave it to me. I don’t know who it was.” : Ginsburg said he then left Dia- mond in the care of Goldie, the as- sistant manager, and went to Edge- water with his family in Bennett's ar. C From Edgewater he said he went to Philadelphila to visit his mother, then returned and surrendered at the suggestion of his attorney. He was held in $25,000 bail. Bail for the others was fixed at $5,000. Police Seek Drescher Police are seeking Drescher who disappeared from the hotel after the shooting. They also are looking for Charles Entratta, alias Green, who was acquitted of the slaying of two gangsters in the Hotsy Totsy club in 1929 for which he and Dia- mond were indicted. Robert Miller, Allas Robert Du- val, known as the “Count” also is being sought. A cablegram address- ed to him was found in Diamond’s room saying arrangements could be made for Diamond's entry into Ger- many. Diamond was refused entry into Germany last month and was .deported back to the United States on a freighter. Feared for Life Berlin, Oct. 15 (A—Afraid that he would be killed, Jack *Legs" Dia- mond, New York gangster, made re- peated efforts to have Germany, which last month expelled him readmit him. Dr. Alfred Sandak, Diamond’s attorney, said today in a statement to the press. Dr. Sandak asserted that the Ger- man government in expelling Dia- mond, an act which he termed “wholly unjustified” and not re- quested by American authorities, was parfly responsible for the attack up- on him in New York Sunday. He said that in numerous tele- grams he had had from Diamond he was requested to do his utmost to secure permission for him to re- enter Germany. In the telegrams the gangster expressed clearly his Special Notice Ladles’ Auxiliary Boys' club an- nual bridge party, Monday evening. October 20th, 8 p. m., at the Boys’ club gym.

England Interested London, Oct. 15 (A—The attempt against Jack “Legs” Diamond’'s life in New York continues to be a front page feature throughout Great Brit- ain. No American news story in years has claimed so much public atten- tion in England. Not only are the newspapers printing columns of news and pictures but many of them lare editorializing. The London Daily Express with a circulation of more than 2,000,000 said editorially today: “Everybody is asking why it is that gangs in Amer- ican cities are not broken up and stamped out. Here is the answer, in the extracts from Mr. Diamond’s dossier, which we published yester- day. Look at this summary of his record: “Age 33; arrested in past 16 years for most of the crimes which come between burglary and murder 23 times; acquitted or discharged 21 times. Sentences served—a’term in the reformatory and one year for army desertion. Gangsters flourish in the United States because of the virtually complete failure of Amer- ican justice to secure and enforce convictions. Judges, lawyers and politicians have between them made crime one of the safest of American callings.” FRIENDSHIP LEAGUE CHOOSES OFFICERS Has Its Annual Meeting The regular business meeting of the Friendship League of St. John's Lutheran church was held last night. Enthusiasm was shown by the members and an active winter is being looked forward to. One of the features of the eve- ning was the selection of officers. THose chosen were as follows President, Richard Stabert; vice president, Carl Frinhaber; record- ing secretary, Elsic Schlotterbach; ! corresponding secretary, Mrs. Loret- and child, his attorney, and Wallace | ta Schaeffer; auditors, William Ruck and Clifford Peterson; execu- tive committee, Rose Kahms, Erwin Hiltpold and Helen Groth. Clifford Peterson was chosen captain of the boys' bowling team and Helen Groth of the girls' team. Teams are putting in a great deal of practice and some exciting bowl- ing matches are expected to take place as games are being scheduled with out-of-town leagues. {1 CONVICTS AT LARGE IN PRISON CAMP BREAK Two of 13 Men Captured—Guards Discharged For Neglect of Duty. Roxboro, N. C., Oct. 15 (A—Two of 13 convicts who escaped Monday night from a state prison camp near | here were back in custody today | while officers continued a search for their 11 confederates who eluded capture. Jim Wilson, serving 223 to 30 years for murder, and Ernest Bur- rell, serving 4% to 6 years for lar- ceny,. were captured last night. The escape was made through a hole in the bottom of the cell block which the prisoners had cut with a hack saw. A cell corporal and a night guard, charged with neglect of duty, were discharged. A number of long term prisoners, including three convicted of mur- der were among the 11 at liberty today. Road Hog Is Blamed For Broad St. Crash Failure of a driver, whose namec was not learned, to grant the right of way to two autos which were proceeding in opposite directiong along Broad street about 8 o’'clock last night, and his persistence in pulling away from the curb while the center of the road was already occupied was the cause of a colli- sion between cars being operated by Joseph Kozutek of 8 Audubon ave- nue, Newington, and Michael Bed- narczyk -of 121 Wilcox street, city. The unidentified motorist left the curb as Bernarczyk's machine was almost opposite that of the Newing- ton man and in trying to avoid a collision Kozutek turned sharply to the left and before he could get back again his machine struck the Bed- narczyk auto. Officer Walter Wagner investigat- ed the accident and filed a report at headquarters.
