One theory is that after Walwh and his men captured the whinkey at 6 o’diock in the evening they were in turn attacked by the rival bootlegger organization and Walsh wan killed. Another discovery in which. the police were interested was that the actual value of the stolen shipment was but 6.000, though it was inured for $20,000, according to Bernard Levy, New Brunswick representative of the casualty and burglary insur- ance underwriters. Fdward Ring, who with a negro, Samuel Perkins, was employed by Paznak, the Newark owner of the truck, an authoriead transporter of Hquors,’ sid nothing of the robbery or the murders when he was ploked where the @irst hold-up occurred at 11 o'clock Friday night. On his ar- rival in New Brunswick he went to one of the bootlerger headquarters restaurants. The police heard of his Presence there and arrested him. It was not until then that he talked of the robbery to the authorities, His story waa substantially the same as that of Pedro Galamandra, brother of the murered owner of the whiskey, ‘That it was a deliberately planned affair is further indicated by the lo- cality in which It occurred, a district where there is no constable and where the highway is entirely with- up by an automobilist at Kingston, | Walker, a litte girl with out protection at night, making es- cape almost certain, i grmey eyes and the child, said that she © jub und give ber a id of refusing at first to live husband, and how he had ube after writing a note the was going away, “1 thought he had deverted me,” the girl, “and the next I heard it him was when some stranger me, saying that a note signed F.

Whife the Lake Hopatcong Sherif! was waiting for the Paterson pol to come to get Eokert, other mem’ of his band appeared at Lake Hopat- cong and literally tore the jail apart and set him free through a side wall In #0 far as Walsh, like other men often seen in his company, are young And unusually well dressed, the New Jersey authorities are interested in tho possibility that in additien to their other activities the band may jhave been concerned in the many | highway robberies of automobile | Parties in Northern New Jersey for | the past few months it ia regarded |“ not unlikely that the bootiegger- bandit patrols.on the roads between | Philadelphia und Now York and the intermediate New Jersey cities, seek- ing to intercopt smuggled or Jegiti- mately tranaported liquor, may have filled in their time by holding up av- tomobile parties. Already the authorities have evi dence convincing to themselves, {though not capable of legal presenta- {sen in court changes, showing that many officinis of New York and New Jersey besides policemen, have beon jin close touch with the bootlegger bandits, The amazing audacity of the Automobile hold-up parties, such as that shown when eighteen gersons | were stopped and robbed at the Iial- | tusrol Golf Club a week ago, is partly |to be explained by the complicity uf |oounty and city officials in the boot- |legwer operations of the same men, As The Byening World final edition told last night, the truck in which the Salamandra brothers wore smug- gling their whiskey to Newark un- der a worthless permit which ox- pired Dec. 81 wax found empty in Newark carly yesterday morning.

One of the subjects most interest- of the intelligence which the. bandits have had of the movements of con- traband and authorized shipments of whiskey. The inquiry has been directed to the watchmen of bonded warchouses und to the employees of truckmen who make a business of transporting liquors. Assistant District Attorney Smith was to-day responsible for the state- ment: “Walsh made a stotement of the utmost importance to me regard- ing the complicity of membege of the police automobile squad in the theft and sale of automobiles. Walsh con- Tess#ed to me that he not only took the cars to a ‘fence,’ but that he ia terested himself in their subsequent sale out of town and the division of a part of the profits among the policemen. He promieod to tell to the Grand Jury next week the same story he had told to mo." A third explanation of the kiing of Walsh was suggested by his father ! with Coroner Harding of New Brunswick to-day. The father manied son had $15,000 in money when he left home and was wearing | considerable jewelery. When Walsh's body was found his pockets were in- | side out. Eight hundred and eight dollars was found in an outside poc- | ket, It ls regarded as a coincidence that a recognized leader of the boot- legging industry made a commotion in a New Brunswick tank Friday afternoon because the paying teller | would not give him $1,000 bills on his} counter check for 15,000; obtained the denominations he re- quired after a whispered conference with the president of the bank. re.

U.S. PAT. OFF, -MOTOR GASOLINE How the right quality Gasoline keeps battery costs low in winter A Common Cause of Battery Strain Gasoline that does not vaporize readily at low temperature, ac- counts for much battery trouble and expense in winter. Spinning a cold motor for several minutes before you can get started puts a big strain ‘on the battery. This is not necessary if you are careful to'select gasoline of suitable com- position for winter use. Why You Should Use Straight- Distilled Socony Gasoline For satisfactory and economical opera- tion, gasoline with a low boiling point— gasoline that vaporizes freely at low temperature—is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, it should contain a com- plete, continuous chain of boiling points, since that alone can insure quick, com- plete, powerful combustion. Socony Meets the Tests Socony gasoline meets all these require- ments, With Socony you get quick starts, even in the coldest weather. This, combined with its absolute uniformity at all times and in all places, partly explains why experienced car owners and motor transport executives specify Socony. Other and important considerations are complete combustion, maximum power and mileage, freedom from excessive carbon ‘accumulation and from heavy and offensive exhaust odors. The Quality Gasoline You can always rely upon every gallon of Socony gasoline for consistently fine quality. Our manufacturing plants are operated under the most skillful and critical super- vision, Back of the materials, equipment and methods of refining there are fifty years of practical experience and im- provement. Reliable, Obliging Dealers Socony dealers constitute the last link in the great chain of Socony service. They are always dependable, competent and oblig- ing—giad to render the little courtesies that make motor service complete, Look for the red, white and blue Socony sign. STANDARD OIL CO.OF NEW YORK Excessive cost for battery charging and up- keep is not always due to grounds and short circuits. Gasoline that fails to yaporize freely at low temperature may easily be « principal cause; With Socony Motor Gasoline in the tank you can be sure of minimum battery strain —quick pick-up even when the motor is cold.
