WEBER HIDES NAMES OF MEN BACK OF ATTACK. Reveals Only to His Wife the Identity of the Plotters. New York, June 15—Louis Weber, known more familiarly as “Bridgie,’ has revealed to his wife the names 5¢ the persons responsible for the attack on him early yesterday while walking in Bighth street, near Third avenuo. While ignorant as to who actually plunged the kitchen knife into his back just below the left shoulder _bladc, Weber has furnished ber with the names of the persons who he is posi- tive . were involved in the plot to kill him, Efforts by the police to learn from Mrs. Weber what her husband told her Deen as unsuccessful as the en- r of District Attorney J. Robert Rubin and the police to get a rellable statement from the injured man. Weber has stuck to his original story that his assassin was “some kid who did it simply to become known on the East Side as a ‘bad man’” Weber is of the belief, according to the police, that the East Side gangmen do not hold the least grudge against him for having testified for the state in the cases of former Lieutenant Becker and the four gunmen who are in the death house at Sing Sing. He has told the police and the district attorney’s rep- resentatives that the East Side gang- sters-gre glad the gunmen are safe in prison. Weber Feared Attack. Despite —his _story, however, it is known that Weber has feared for his life since he testified. This is borne out by the fact that he has kept to himself and has been out only on rare occasions. When he did appear in his usual haunts he has been guarded by & paid attendant. Weber and his wife sought safety in Cuba for a time, sailing under assumed names, but their identity became known, and after a short stay they re- turned. Not long after they moved t> the country, but this likewise became known. Upon their return they made their lome in the vicinity of Manhat- tan avenue and 109th street, but after a few months they took an apartment at No. 619 West 127th street. It was Webers third visit to the lower East Side since he got in dis- favor with his one time friends. He had gone there on Friday night to pay his respects to “Sam” Paul, ap old-time gambling friend, who was fo open a cafe known as the Continental at N 108 Secondl avenue. Weber had scarcely entered the place when his presence became. known. Threats were made against him and Paul, realizing that trouble in his place on the opening night was a thing to avoid, urged his friends to prevent any outbreak. Weber overheard the threats and departed voluntarily, ac- companied by “Dollar” John Langer, who was reported to be interested with Weber in “business ventures. Web- er's bodyguard was to have accompa- nied him home, but Weber decided to | g0 under the escort of Langer. Langer |1s popular among East Side gamblers and there was no fear that anyone would attack Weber while in his com- pany. Attacked Near Third Avenue. The two walked west to Third ave- nue from the Continental, which is on Second avenue and Sixth street. Near the corner of Eighth street and Third avenue a man lurched suddenly from a hiding place and plunged the knife into Weber's back. It was some minutes before Langer realized that an attack had been made on Weber, and by that time his as- sailant wak well across Astor placs, and no attempt was made {0 follow the man. Langer pulled the knife from Web- er's back—it had been driven in its entire length—and Weber was removed to St. Vincent's hospital by Dr. Me- Guire. The stab wound is not consid- ered necessarily fatal and unless com- plications ensue he will be out within five days. OBITUARY. J Rev. Peter Drignet.. Naugatuck, Conn, June 15—Rev.
