It was pointed out Salamandra's automatic pistol, which was carried in a pocket of the Hudson sedan car in which he and his brother were following the truck of whiskey, was a 92 calibre weapon, No trace has been found of this pistol, It was loaded with steel jacketed bullets. Walsh himself had in his pocket mandra brothers had a 32 calibre re- volver, which was taken from him by the police, and so far as can be learned there were no other weapons in the Salamandra party.

The two owned an Essex automobile. Smith reported to the police late Friday last that the car had been stolen the night be- fore from in front of the Pennsyl- vania Station in New Brunswick where he had left it to go to Bound Brook by train, The police believe this is the car which smashed into a railroad gate on Frelinghuysen Avenue, Newark, early Friday morning, after the mur- der. ‘Three men were seen to jump from the disabled car and run away down the railroad tracks. They left new cloth caps in the car, one of which bore the label of’ a New Brunswick store. It is the theory of the police that the three men who broke down their Cadillac fleeing from the scene of the murder and were brought to the outskirts of Newark by Milkman Adler tele- phoned to New York for a friend to come to their aid with a car and caps; they had left their headgear—a derby and two felt hats—in the Cadillac when they abandoned it with Walsh's body after the breakdown, URNITURE:- APARTMENTS FURNISHED ® Kt SATURDAY EVENINGS” $1- WEEKLY be S\ OPENS AN ACCOUNT NH ean (#3.
