BROKEN BOWERY GIANT Skipped His Bail After Convic- tion and Then Gave Him- » _ Self Up to Morphine. “Biff” Etitson, murderer, who once Meike’ the Bowery imperious in the {neolence of gang terror, was surren- fered by his bondsman to-day to Jus- tioe Davis in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court. Ellison is a chattering idiot. Gone from Hie pasty white face is the former sneering curl of the lip and the men- acing droop of the eyelid; gone from the shrunken frame of riminal the erstwhile swaggering carriage which Went with the untrammelied sway of @ sorilis.
