VAUGHN WELL KNOWN
TO CINCINNATI POLICE

! REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Cincinnati, O., Oct. s2-Behind the des-
| perate pistol duel in st. Louis yesterday
lies the life story of enc a Harry l.
Vaughn. and in the series OF crimes that
led up to the shooting, Frank Duncan, a
Covington man now in the Birmingham,
Ala. prison, for a second time under SEN
tence of death. also figured.
Vaughn is known to Bertiilon Sergeant
Kiffmeyer OF the Cincinnati Bureau as
New York Harry" alias Harry O'Dowd,
alias Graham, and his picture Is in the
Cincinnati rogues' gallery, because the
police once secured the city, believing him
to be hiding in the city.
Duncan, the C%ovengton man. declares
now that the crime OF shooting two police
men. for which he is serving a life sem
tence In the Alabama prison, and for
which another pal of his, Dutch john
Hendricks. paid lis life on tho gallows in
Alabama, was committed by New York
Harry"
Vaughn. or Dowd, his real name, began
q life of crime years ago He became
known throughout the country as New
York Harry when he and Dutch John
Hendricks ard Frank Duncan terrorized
FIVE States-Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida and Kentucky-with a series of
the most daring safe-blowins and Post
ofhee robbery jobs known in police an
mails.
Their career Of crime was checked in
Birmingham, Ala. in May. 1909. when.
after blowing and looting the Standar
Oil Company safe. they were met by a
squad of p%atrolmen. They shot two of
them, and Dutch John" and Duncan
we're captured, but New York Harry"
escaped.
Dutch john was sentenced to the gal
lows. His last words before the drop fell
excused Vaughn of firing the shots that
killed the two officers.
Duncan was sentenced to die. but a few
years ago his wife. from her home in
C%ovington, bought Jaws in Cincinnati and
had them secreted In the soles of a pair
OF shoes made in Cincinnati. practically
for the purpose. Thus she smuggled the
means OF escape to her husband. and
again he tasted liberty. He was captured
recently in Tampa, Fla. and taken back
to his cell.
After Vaughn escaped he was expected
to turn I'D in Cincinnati. for the trio were
known then to nave made frequent trips
to Ohio. but though the police did not re-
lax vigilance for months, he was never
Captured. Blair may be a man arrested
in Cincinnati some years ago and sent TO |
Chi1licothe. o.. but the Identification Is
not complete. Detectives Callahan and
Jackson arrested Vaughn twelve years
ago at the Palace Hotel. just after he had
been liberated from a term at Washing
ton, D.. c. After being photographed he
WAS ordered out Of Cincinnati.
