Fran- kel made a visit to Headquarters o day last week and voluntarily ex- plained his business relations with Baff, offering to aid in the apprehe: mon of tho hired gunmen who shot him down, if he waa able. The location of the car in which the assassins escaped was made pos- alble by the finding of the three most important eye witnesses to the shooting yet uncovered. These men, who are sald to be the employees of a large piano concern, had driven to West Washingt Market on Tuesday afternoon in an auto truck to pick out @ consign- ment of turkeys for themeeclves and others in the piano factory. They halted their car immediately behind a i coftee-colored automobile with a “shed hood” in Gansevoort Street, The three men were in the truck when they heard shots and saw two men rush to the machine ahead of them. A chauffeur, of whom all three were able to give a very close de- scription, was already in th the coffee-colored car. Thi the two gunmen leaped in, hi his car, throwing open the exhaust #0 as to cloud with smoke the num- ber tag hanging below the exhaust | pipe. But before he did so the three men in the truck read nearly all of the numbers. Also they got @ glimpse of the two assassins.

Boyd, who was sixty years old, was in the service of the Southern Pacific for twenty-five years. His home was‘at No. 136 Greenwood Ave- nue, East Orange. Capt. Boyd played the role of a hero four years ago when fire was discovered in the hold of the Momus off Jupiter Light, on the east coast of Florida, in July, 1910, Realizing that if the passengers on board learned of the blaze there would be a panic, Boyd issued rigid orders that they be kept below deck, and then he sent out a call which brought the Comus to the rescue.
