Ws 1,miew boy of fifteen, He l a
splendid type of young American man
Hood. He was born and raised In the
very same neighborhood In which he
now lives, whero ho was married and
Where ho Is raising his family. He Is
Known personally to every one In tils
community and Is loved and respected
BlvCIAN AS MKSSCNOErt BOY
Entering my employ as a messenger
boy when only a youth, by dlllgohco,
perseverance and the closest attention
to the performance of his duties he has
worked his way up by force of his own
ability until he occupies his present
high position In public llfd. Were I
not familiar with his entire career, and
had I not absolute knowledge of hln
Integrity, his honesty of purpose and
nls entire Innocence In this matter, I
would not have become his bondsman.
r...havo retn,nca for the present case
William J, Burns, well known the
world over as the greatest and most
auccessful investigator of crime In this
country. Ho has turned his operative
forco Into the Investigation of tills nf
ralr with instructions to glvo to Dis
trict Attorney Rotan every item of cvl
detjee ho has already or will hereafter
Jincnrth. I pledge to the people of
riilhulelplila that I will stond behind
Jim; with every dollar I possess to bring
to justice (ho actors In this most dam
nable conspiracy.
We arc prepared to provo that these
low-lived and under-bred gunmen of
the underworld were told that thev were
being brought here to roughhouse the
polls In the interest of Deutsch. They
were given badges to cieato the impres
sion in their minds that they were
under police protection. The object of
their Importation was to havo them
commit assaults, start riots and com
mit election Irregularities In order that
the same could bo charged against the
Mayor, but more particularly to be
smirch myself,
DOUBTS MURDER INTENDED
I do not ucllevo that murder was in
tended, but when drug-crazed thug
overstepped his Instructions and shot
the policeman, the chlof conspirators
became panic-stricken, rushed to cover
nnd aro now trying to shield them
selves by Implicating innocent men.
Some of them havo already turned back
to the Penrose camp and aro relying
upon promises of protection on the
condition that they carry out their
part by porjury and conspiracy to In
jure me. I have faith in tho Integrity
of tho District Attorney, to the end
that ho will not allow himself to bo
used in this nefarious plot, and that ho
will not mako himself a party to these
promises of immunity. There will be
no Immunity to any who had the slight
est participation In tho outrages that
led to the murder of this faithful police
man, causing grief to all and breaking
the heart of his old mother.
If there appears to bo any attempt on
tho part of any one to grant Immunity
to theso Criminals, high or tow, I shall
appeal to the Attorney General of this
State, tho highest peace officer of this
Commonwealth, to assume charge per
sonally of this pvosecutlon and to bring
every guilty man to Judgment. The
plot was well laid, but overplayed. I
have heretofore remained silent until
tho complete proof was at tiand. The
plan was first to publish in certain
newspapers exaggerated and false re
ports as to disorder In tho Fifth Ward
incident to tho registration In order to
prepare the public for their plans as to
subsequent disorders,
Afl a matter of fact, up to that time
there ha'd been nn assault: nor any
disorders except those which always,
happened hi that ward whenever thero
has been any political contest, with
which I have never been concerned.
These conspirators, guided by the nil
users of tho Penrose forces, pictured
an ordinary raid upon a reputed gam
bling house as a political frnnic up,
whereby the rights of otere had been
denied Tho next step was tho ar
rangement through Samuel O. Maloney,
James Clark and Michael O'Sulllvan, of
the Val OTarrell Detective Agency, to
bring theso thugs from Now York. The
1 uf n have namcl are all operatives of
this detective agency whose records,
later, will bo laid before tho public by
Detective Burns. Maloney is its Phila
delphia manager. I need not tell the
people of Philadelphia who Sam Ma-l?,'yJ,s,-
. 7al O'Forrcll himself was In
Philadelphia early on tho day of tho
outrage and was In consultation with
the attorneys of the Ponroso forces.
tc'ar' guided theso men about the
J' "tli Ward. Ho was promised protec
tion before he agreed to allow himself
to bo arrested. It is worthy of notlco
mat a warrant for his arrest was Issued
by Magistrate Stevenson, and not by
Judge Brown, before whom tho Mayor,
Deutsch and Bennett were summoned,
ana the hearing was ilxed for October
10, an unprecedented delay for a pre
liminary hearing.
Theso bargains shall not bo carried
? i V .." see tlmt clarI prosecuted
to the full extent of the law. No guilty
man shall escape.
Tho plan for tho Academy of Music
meeting even was decided upon two
hours after the Bhootlng, In order to
turn this conspiracy Into political bene
lit for those guilty of tllo frame-up.
My hands aro perfectly clean in this
matter, as they always have been in
any manly political contest I ever en
tercd. In thlrty-nve years of public llfo
no one has been able to point to any
suspicious transaction ever counte
nanced by mo. I have no friends to pro
tect In this matter, but on tho contrary,
will use every power In my poscsslon to
convict every man whoso fingers
touched this criminal conspiracy. I will
see that' every man whose act led up
to tho death of Policeman Eppley will
meet punishment, as well as those
higher up, whoso wicked brains 'con
ceived tho "frame-up" which led to the
arrest of this innocent man Flnley.
SAM MALONEY AND THREE COPS
ARRESTED IN FIFTH WARD CASE
Continued from l'mrr One
ing for him with tho warrant sworn out by
Captain Tate.
"You are under arrest," said Detectives
Hodge and Farrell.
"All right," said Maloney.
A fatal delay, from the Department of
Public Safety standpoint, followed when the
detectives waited for Detective Belshaw,
who had the warrant, to arrive. Mr. Rotan
hero executed n coup, rushing Assistant
District Attorney James Clay Gordon, Jr.,
and District Attorney'B Detectives Joseph
AlcClaln and Samuel Young to Maloney's
offices.
They literally "took away" tho prisoner,
in spite of tho protests from Hodge and
Farrell. With Maloney between them, the
two District Attorney's detectives marched
him to Mr. Rotan's ofllce. seeing to it that
no one talked to the prisoner.
Mr. Rotan Issued the following state
ment' after Malpney's arrest and release:
"We were about to havo an Interview
with Mr. Malonfey when we received word
that the Department of Public Safety had
Issued a arrant for Mr. Maloney's arrest.
I Immediately communicated with Director
Wilson over the telephone and told him that
I did not Want Mr. Maloney arrested at
this time. My reason for making this re
quest was that Mr. Maloney was already
a witness (or the Commonwealth, and that
his arrest would Interfere with our prepa
ration of the case.
"X also instructed Captain Tate about this.
The result was that our men brought Mr
Maloney here. There were other detectives
outside In the corridor, waiting to arrest
Mr. Maloney, We then swore out a writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Martin, which
proceedings tesulted In Mr. Maloney's re
lease In the custody of Judge Gordon."
Asked if he had any comment to make
upon the arrest of Maloney by the Depart
ment of Public Safety, Mr. Rotan laid:
"No. The arrest speaks for Itself."
Maloney was taken by Assistant District
Attorney Gordon's father, former Judge
Gordon, before Judge Martin, lu Couit of
Common Pleas No. B, on tha writ of habeas
corpus and his releaso was asked from the
warrant upon which he was arrested. For
mer Judge Gordon said that Maloney was
an Important Commonmcalth's witness In
the District Attorney's prosecution against
the alleged conspirators and that Maloney
hfld made an Important statement now In
Mr. Rotan's possession. He said that Mr
Ro(an waived his forty-olght-hour right on
this writ, so that It could become effective
Immediately.
Mr. Rotan Joined In the request for Ma
lonay's release ana said he had no objection
to Maloney's discharge on his own recog
nisance. Judge Martin then released Ma
loney in the custody of former Judge Gor
don, to appear when wanted.
Captain of Detectives Tate expressed
indignation over the summary manner In
whir Maloney was taken from his men.
"We are not getting a square deal," ho
said. "We are glad to co-operate with tho
District Attorney, but from today's devel
opments It appears that wo are not get
ting a Bquare deal."
W1RTSCHAFTER IS ARRESTED
"I don't know why I am arrested," said
Maloney, as he was taken to City Hall. "No
warrant has been read to me. They simply
arrested me, that's all."
He refused to discuss It further.
Wlrtschafter and Fcldman, arrested at
their homes bv officers of the Municipal
Court on warrants sworn out before Judge
Brown, were held In 15000 ball each lor
hearing tomorrow, when all of the alleged
conspirators will be arraigned. Both have
been namqd as taking part In the thuggery
that terrorised the Fifth Ward on election
day and before the shooting.
Court Officers William J. Milrphy and
Stephen Cavanaugh arrested Feldman at
his home, 138 Monroo street. Ho was taken
out of bed and hurried to City Hall, where
ball was fixed by Judge Brown.
"I am Innocent," he protested. "I know
nothing about this plot."
He was one of the policemen detailed to
the Fifth Ward on election day.
Wlrtschafter, a plain-clothes man, under
Lieutenant Bennett, was arrested at his
home, 139 Pemberton street, by Court Of
ficer Thomas Mellon.
"God's honest truth," said Wlrtschafter,
"I know nothing about the affair. The news
papers havegot me In bad."
Cram also was arrested at his home, Gil
South Sixth street, by Mellon. Re was In
bed. Uram Is one of the policemen accused
with Bennett and Wlrtschafter of thuggery
beforo the election.
MALONEY'S STORMY CAREER
Maloney, for das an unknown quantity
In the probe after the "men higher up, '
who hired New York gunmen to Intimidate
Fifth Ward voters, is a stockholder In tho
Val O'Farrell Detective Agency. He is a
former harbormaster of the port of Phila
delphia and former "boss" of the "Bloody
Fifth." His political career began early
and he soon attracted attention. So far
reaching were his efforts as leader of the
second division of the Seventh Ward that
he was made "boss" of the Fifth Ward
In 1900. In 1901 Governor Stone appointed
him harbormaster In spite of protests, after
he had been dismissed as Deputy Collector
of Internal Rovenuo "for tho good of the
service." In 1908 he resigned at the re
quest of Governor Tcnnypacker.
Last year Maloney had charge of Harry
K. Thaw when the latter, secreted in a
house In West Philadelphia and wanted
for assault lu New York, attempted to
commit suicide. He has been a police of
ficial, constable, a member of the Republi
can city committee and was for years the
center of political storm in ward matters.
Mayor Smith, on the eve of his trial on
murder conspiracy charges, spent nearly
two hours today conferring with James
Scarlet, of Danville, and former Judge
Abraham M. Beitler, of his counsel. They
mapped out their plan of defense, denying
themselves to all callers.
Announcement that no persons arrested
In the case had been promised Immunity
was made today by District Attorney Rotan
when he arrived at his office and stated
that arrests would be made today.
"There will be flvo or six arrests made
today," he said. "That Is positive. The ar
rests will be made somo time thH after
noon. I believe, put you can say that there
will be arrests."
"Are these men 'higher-ups'?" ho was
asked.
"No," was the reply "The man 'highest
up" so far Is Mr. Flnley."
Mr. Rotan was asked whether or not
I Flnley wMrThpllcated In the confession of
james CmrU. the "man with tvro-lasses.'
whose statement Is said to be a. complete
story of the murder plot.
"I will not say that." replied Mr Rotan.
"Has Clark bcon promised Immunity?"
"No, I have promised Immunity ti no
one,"
Mr, Rotan, who declined to comment upon
Senator Vare's charges that the murder
conspiracy charges against Vare lenders
were part of a plot by the Pcnrose-Mc-Nlchol
forces, said that ho would accept
the co-opcrotlon of Detective William J.
Burns, hired by Senator Vare to reveal tho
true status of the case.
"I will co-operate with any one who may
have evidence In this case," he said,
Christopher ("Mug") Smith, n seventh
member of the "Frog Hollow .MusUcfcors"
gnng that invaded the Fifth Ward, was ar
rested In New York today, according to
word received this afternoon by District
Attorney Rotan. Smith, one of the twelve
missing members of tho band wanted in
connection with the killing nnd blackjack
ing, was named In tho confession of Fred
("Whltcy") Burkhardt. one of the four ar
rested In the "Frog Hollow" section of the
Bronx. According to Burkhardt, ho nnd
Smith, ills "pal," took no part lu the as
saults and killing. Smith Is being held for
the action of the Philadelphia authorities.
Henry and Morris Cohen, hardware deal
ers on South street near" Second, today de
scribed to Mr. Rotan the man who pur
chased the blackjacks used by tho thugs In
their assault on Mercantile Appraiser James
A", Carey and Assistant District Attorney
John H. Maurer. The description, It was
said, tallied exnetly with that of Mike
O'SullUan, who Is wanted.
SAW CLARK TALKING TO BENNETT
Ono of the first persons examined today
by Mr. Rotan WSs u witness who was said
to hao told tho District Attorney that on
the day of the killing Clark was seen talk
ing to Llcutennnt Bennett In tlin lnttor'a
Piffles. Tho name of tho witness was with.
held.
Captain of Detectives Tate, discussing tho
rumor that O'Sulllvan had been arrested,
said that no city detective had caught lilm
as yet.
"I hae heard the same report, that O'Sul
llvan ha3 surrendered," ho said. "But he
hasn't given himself up to me. My men and
I are still searching for him "
"No one is going to make nny Becker out
of me," said Lieutenant Bennett, who will
have to appear before Judge Brown In the
Municipal Court tomorrow to answer to the
charge of "conspiracy to commit a number
of crimes. Including murder."
The lieutenant, however, has not ns yet
Indicated any desire to take tho Dibtrlct i
Is confldtV as to whTOS'Fv'"

Isaac Deutsch, the third man arrested

During October
October weather as a rule is not conducive to a
large volume of fur business. We therefore permit
you to deduct a. liberal discount from the regular prices
to influence early buying. For this consideration we
are favored with an enormously large business during
a month that is more or less inactive. Yes, our profit
on each individual transaction is smaller, but it is in
the quantity of sales whereby we gain.
