Jay Alien, a tall man under sentence to life imprisonment in Tacoma, Wash., for the murder of his friend, Robert Davis, has light hair which has been dyed black. The witnesses |who saw the robbers who murdered DeWitt C, Teal and Henry W. Coons in the East Brooklyn Bank Dec. 13 last deseribed one of them as “tall, with very light hair.” A telegram received by District At- | torney Lew!s to-day assured him that Allen is the tall blond robber. He at onee had the Grand Jury indict Allen for the two murders and started de- | tectives for Albany to get an extradi-| tion warrant. The first intimation that Allen was connected with the Brooklyn marders |came from the widow of Davis. She |said Davis and Allen had quarreled over a burglary they had planned, ac- cording to the police, As yet there has been no opportunity to learn whether Davis and Allen’ were to- \gether here. Information coming to District At- torney Lewis through the day tended to show that Allen had killed at least two pergons in the course of bur- glarien in other cities. Assistant District Attorney Albert Conway started for Tacoma ten days ago with George McCullough, driver of the taxicab in which the two murderers rode to the bank, a clerk named Freeman and Detective William Roddy. Conway telegraphed Mr, Lewis to-day that McCullough was sure Allen, who is also known as Gordon Fawcett Hamby and Boyd Browning, was one of the men who was in his car, Freeman was just as sure Allen was one of them. The raincoat and gloves which wera left in the bank by the murderers were tried on Allen and fitted him perfectly. When he wore them the two witnesses were strengthened in the positiveness of their identification. When Roy Tyler was under arrest in Brooklyn for the bank murders, McCullough refused to identify him and would only say he was of the height and build of one of the mur- derers. Tyler proved he was on a trip through several towns in the Far West at the time of the murders, Police Capt. Coghlan said the police have records showing Allen to be a desperate criminal, He is a ship- builder, but has spent most of his life hiding from detectives. He is charged with having robbed bank cashlers in Chicago, St. Paul, the Isthmus of Panama and in Central America, He has never hesitated to shoot to make his escape, The police information is that he went West late in De- cember accompanied by & woman on } whom he lavished extravagant gifts, | Though the State of Washington has the man in prison,” said Mr, Lewis,” T hope to be able to make the authorities there see that they should permit us to take him and try Jhim under a law which will bring about his execution if he is convicted, 1A man of his type should pay the \' xtreme penalty His life is a men- ace to society, It was reported from Tacoma that n demies ail Knowledge of the lyn but acknowledges may uve been in New York at \ He nuates that Mc lc th cur, is trying to rohit complicity by mak ng the identidieation Capt.
