CONFESSION niPOrtTANT
Tho confession of Fred ("Whltey") BUrU
hart, one of the hlfed thugs under arrest
'In New York, Is considered ol great value
In tho prosecution, for It not only corrob
orates in detail tho hiring of the gunmen
and their activities here, but It names tho J
"go-betweens" who supply the missing link
"between the gunmen and tho "men higher
up',iA summary qC the confession in as
.follows:
S'lck Itltt ("Wltlo Nick") met Fred
rWhltey") Burkhnit nnd Christie ("Mug")
Smith In the "Frog Hollow" section of the
Bronx Monday, September 17, nnd offered
them $30 for two days work In Philadel
phia, Tuesday and Wednesday. They ac
cepted, and met a gang of about eighteen
others In a Bronx saloon that night. Nick
llltt hero turned over the gang to Mike
Sullivan (or O'Sulllvan). nn- operative of the
Vnl O'Farrcll Delectlvo Agency, who In
structed tho strong-arm men tii he nt the
Pennsylvania Station the next morning to
catch an 11:08 train for Philadelphia.
Among those In the saloon wero Itugglero
Falcone, alias Vlncenzo I.eonl ("Jimmy tho
Flash") ; Joe Bake ("Straight Louie"). Bru
nelll, "Mike" Denning (or Dcnnchy), Samuel
("Butch") Kgueglla. alias Jack Mast-la;
Henry dl lloma (or Inrao). alias John
("Lefty") Costello; Nick Itltt ("Big Ud
tly"), Johnny Marino, "Mug" Smith nnd
Burkhart.
Arriving In Philadelphia Tuesday, six of
the gang were taken by Itltt to the Key
stono Hotel. These -crc Brunelll, Bake,
Denning, Smith, Burkhart nnd an unnamed
Italian. Their rooms were paid for. Thcnco
they were taken to "a pnrk" (Independence
Square) opposite "n. big building with win
dows" (the Curtis Building). Here Sulli
van wns waiting for thorn. Tho gang lolled
in tho Miuaro while Nick llltt went to "n
stntlon house" (the Third and He Lancey
streets police station) to get tho black
Jacks. He returned with n box full of
brand-new blackjacks, whlcji he distributed.
Ho explained that they told him at tho
station house wheie he could get them.
The gum ihen was tikcn to poiitrh'J
club (tho Fifth Ward ltcpubllcnn League
clubhouse, stronghold of the Ynre-Sinlth-Deutsch
faction), where they made their
headquarters. Ilero the "man with eye
glasses" (James Clark) directed their woik,
cnlllng for strong-arm men to bo out as
they Were needed during the day. Thnt
night, on election eve, the "bunch" wns
called for and taken to "a club" (the Flu
letter ltcpubllcan Club, headquarters of the
Cnrey-McNIchol wing), which was raided.
Burkhnit and his flvo "pals" stayed at th
Keystone Hotel that night.
Tho next morning Wednesday, primary
election day the thugs were taken to the
Peutsrli club again, and then began their
duty of patrolling tho divisions Several of
them "Big L'ddle." Falcone. "Butch."
"Lefty." Marino, Burkhart nnd Smith were
led by Itltt and tho "man with peglasses"

men lied to the Deutsch club, where the
"man with eyeglasses" said they had "got
the right man" (Carey).
It was learned, howexcr. thnt ".i man"
(Acting Detective (ieorgc A. Hpplcy) had
been shot by "Butch," hat "Butch" nnd
"Lefty" had been caught, and that "Big
Hddle" hnd been hurt. Leaving their ren
dezvous at the club, the gunmen retreated
to Benny's Hotel, whence they scattered
and fled to New York unpaid. Burkhart,
Falcone, Denning nnd Brunelll were cap
tured In New York.
Burkhart's confession, according t As
sistant Dlstiict Attorney Seymour Mork,
of tho Bronx, is borne out by another con
fession obtained last night fiom "Mike"
Denuchy or Denning, the fourth member of
tho gunman gang captured In New York,
who from tho first had Moadfaslly denied
that ho was on the "roughltouse" trip to
Philadelphia.
"Straight Louis" Brunelll, the only ono
of the quartet under arrcbt In New York
who has not confessed, today steadfastly
rotusqd to Vqueal." Ho was confiontcd
by tho evidence contained In the confes
sions of his "pals" Itugglero ("Jimmy tho
Flash") Falcone, Burkhardt and Dennehy
but declared that ho would not "snitch."
He Is an "old-tinier" and Is accustomed to
th "sweating' 'of the "third degree." de
tectives said.
Preparations aio being mado In the Bronx

four men are scheduled to bo held upon
the presentment of indictments by repre
sentatives of the Philadelphia District At

This is William II. Wilson, Mayor

Police Lieutenant Bennett from the

under normal army standard. Then the
class of 1014 was called out 450,000 men
who becamo twenty years old In that year.

another 450,000, a t-peclal call In Septem

130,000, and an ndvanco call for tho 1H1G
class, 450,0p0 men. Ktlll moro men were
wanted; therefore Germany 'combed out
300,000 more by stringent examination of
thoso previously exempted.
In 1916 the 1917 class wns called out

years old. Another combing process added
300,000 more, ajid finally, in November,
tho 1918 class' was called out another
450,000.
In 1917 the demand for human material
was still moro pressing. Another squeezing

Germany's wheat nnd potato crops nre
so good this year thnt .the bread ration nnd
tho potato ration will bo Increased this

fata Is Increasing eo rapidly that serious
food riots may result.
These nro the facts ns reported today to

It H tho understanding hero that tho
Gorman bread ration will hi Increased by
80 grams a day. This will glvo each Ger

Good potato crops havo been raised In
