Reid have run across the trail of a master blackmatler who, they believe, has extorted $10,000,000 from his victims in 12 years. Reid lies near death in a hospital. He is a millionaire underwear manu facturer of this city and received his wounds May 15 in the bungalow home of Mrs. Hazel D, Warner. “If I recover, I will speak; if I die, it doesn't matter”—this is Reid's at- titude. BELIEVES REID WAS BLACKMAIL VICTIM But District Attorney Edward J. Glennon of the Bronx has gathered information which leads him to be eve that Reid was marked for a victim by the blackmailer and that | ‘the trap was about to spring upon him when he was shot. ‘The authorities as a result of their questioning of Mrs. Warner, Frank Boylan, an occupant of Mrs. War- ner’s elaborately appointed stucco home at 1892 University ave., and George Kuriger, Mrs. Warner's uncle, who sped the wounded man to the hospital, have inaugurated a search for “Dapper Don” Collins, a man with a long criminal record comprising large activities from District Attorney Glennon also ‘Wants to find an associate of Collins, the man who he says is the master Blackmailer.

ONCE HEADED RING OF CONFIDENCE MEN The “Lone Wolf” is described as “being about 49, and prior to his entry into the field of blackmail, he was head of a ring of confidence men. To make his “students” competent to meet almost any situation, his col- lege of extortion, it is said, is equip- ped with tutors whose work is to train selected vampires in society French tutors were hired to teach _ them to speak that language fluently. Horsemen were engaged to train the “young ladies” in horsemanship. No detail, according to police officials, Was neglected.
