The ambulance surgeon, who came tater, said the revolver had been held against the victim's body and the shot killed him instantly, Overturned chairs and scattered papers inside the ticket booth indl- cated how the faithful agent had fought the robbers.

Assistant District Attorney Cohen, | Capt, Carey of the Homicide Bureau, |Capt. Wines of the Detective Bureau and Inspector Walsh put all available men on the case. The police believe that the men who committed the crime may have been former Interborough employees, for the reason that half an hour after the holdup and murder the monoy train which picks up all the receipts of the day from stations was due. The police believe that the men were familiar that this is why they picked that hour for the crime. Fiala was popular with thousands of residents of the Bronx, who had bought tickets from him for four yeark, He was a man of unusual .|courtesy and education, and lived at No, 2143 Gleason Avenue, Bronx. He has @ son in the navy, Chances of the robbers getting the $700 undoubtedly were thwarted by Clyde McCoyt, Warren Alley and El- mer Gilbert, sailors of the 6th Naval Company and attached to the Barge Office. They had just alighted from a train a few moments after the mur- der, and when their footsteps were heard, the ropbers fled in a waiting automobile, The police questioned tho sailors, also a Bronx cafe owner, and it is be- lieved they obtained good descriptions of the robbers, PAN-AMERICAN LABOR ACTS FOR WORKERS’ SOLIDARITY ffort to Be Made at Reciprocal Unions Before Meeting of Main Congress, LAREDO, Tex., Nov. 14.—The American Labor Conference sanized here to-day, toward Pan- a8 ore the first desinite industrial solidarity top hroughout the western hemisphere.
