The captain forgot to give any further

"chlefo Reilly Killed.

New York, Feb. 2S.-'fOhief' Reilly,
OF the "forty. thieves" hold-up-mau,
desperate, life saver and combination
sll-round criminal and hero, was slain
early today 10 "rom" Orsvens'
eastside saloon. Crayens admits he fred
the shots which ended the career OF one
of the most remarkable crooks the New
York police ever had to deal with.
The "forty thieves" have long been the
terror of the upper Rastside. Their
activity made 1t unsafe for pedestrians to
venture into their bailiHick after dark.
According to Cravens the thieves have
frequently held him up of late, but
failed to catch him with much money.
About l o'clock this morning he ssys
oscar" and three followers burst into
the saloon and undertook TO seize the
contents of the cash drawer.
All were armed, but the ssloonkeeper,
snatchiug his revolver from behind the
bar, managed to FIRE the first shot.
Reilly fell and Cravens kept on shoot
ing. Then "Scar's" followers fed.
Oravens examined his victim and
found him dead. Then, he says, he
lost bis head. Instead of notifying the
police be carried the corpse to hall
way back of the saloon and left it there
in a pool of blood.
A man who stumbled over It an hour
later notified a policeman. The latter
found persons who had overheard the
shooting in the saloon, sought Oravens
at his home and took him to the station
house. There he told bis story aud is
held pending an investigation.
Reilly was but short time out OF the
peniteutisry. He wss once private ia
the old Humpty Jackson gang on the
lower east side. When the police broke
it up be went up town and became
leader Of the "forty thieves"
In spite of the scores of robberles and
assaults he committed and murders of
which he was suspected, "Scar" was
celebrated as life-ssver. The river
front knew him as a hero for the daring
with which he plunged into the water
for drowning men, women and children.
1t is said he has saved dcz3ns from
death by his skill and strength IS a
swimmer and bis own absolute indiffer'
ence to danger.
From head to foot he was marked by
knife thrusts aud bullet wounds. Hence
his title OF Oscar" His real name is
said to have been John Reilly. None
knew whence he came. He never spoke
of relatives end had no friends outside
his band of "forty thieves"
