AHghting from Broadway car at Tweuty-
eighth street on Wednesday, MIR. hcAdoo
trekked west TO the Parker House, on the
southeast corner Of Sixth avenue. He
looked the place over. some one had told
him that Kid Rsgan, who killed Bartender
Joyce in Tobey's cafe a couple OF weeks
ago. had been In the Parker House a short
time before going to the place whore the
murder was committed. Mr.. McAdoo's
informant had also stated that Regain,
together With Red Cusiok and English
Harry, both Of whom were mixed up IN
the Tobey affair, had followed two women
into the Parker House and that the two
women had q drunken man In tow. The
two women, the story went, robbed the man
at the suggestion OF Regan and his asso-
olates.
Commissioner McAdoo interviewed Blau
and Butcher, the proprietorS Of the Parker
House, touching this story, and they cor
roborated II In part, II Ia said. Blau, who
vas IN charge that night, stated TO tho
Commissioner that two women had steered
q drunken man to the place shortly after
1 O'Clock in the morning, and the trio were
followed by Rsgan and his pals. Blau, how
ever. denied that any robbery took place
as be refused to allow any Of the party
TO enter further than the hallway. Mr.
MoAdoo by questioning Blau got q line
on the two women concerned.
The Commissioner when he reached homo
called up Capt. Cottrel Of the Tenderloin
station on the telephone.
Have those wo women and the two
proprietors Of that hotel at my once to-
morrow morning was MIR. Mead os
order.
Detective William brennan, the cap
tain's right hand man, located the women
later In the night, and he took them and the
two hotel keepers to the Commissioner
once y0ot eIuhl bnOIl0 DcAplS hoSA' AhV
women told Mr.. MoAdoo that they had
been drinking with a man in the Tuxedo
on West Twenty-ninth street and that
while in there Red Cusick had tried 70
rob tho man. According TO the women,
Clark, the manager Of the Tuxedo,
thwaTted Cusick When l o'clock came,
according to the two women, all hands
were driven 10 the street by Clark, and II
was then that they started FOR the Parker
House, followed by Regan, Cusick and
English Harry. The women say thev
blamed Regain for Bhu's refusal to admit
them, and when they did Resan struck at
one Of them, She ducked the blow and
ReRan's fist oollided with the wall in tho
hallway. This explains the badly cut
hand that Regain displayed when he first
entered Tobeys cafe.
The women told Mr.. McAdoo that failing
TO enter the Parker House, they and their
drunken companion journeyed west through
Twenty-eighth street and ReRan and his
two pals turned north on Sixth avenue.
The Commissioner dismissed all hands
after lecturtng Blau and Bluoher. He
found fault with a rear extension used as a
sitting room, whore drinks were served.
TEL Capt. Cottrell TO see that that back
room Is closed at the regular closing hour
and kept closed, were Mr.. McAdoo's orders
to brennan.
Mr.. MoAdoo Is greatly exercised over the
failure Of the police TO spprehend Kid
ReRan. He says the man must be cap
tuI ed and be threatens to desert Mulberry
street and sleuth on the case himself unless
the police nab the murderer soon.
