GRAND LARCENY CHARGE
Authorities viii Try to Connect
Them With Recent Robberies at
Lake Shore Depot.

BY a clever little piece of detective
work Officer Newman Of the local po-
lice landed three of Gary's bad ne
groes' who have probably committed
many thefts and robberies in the city.
The three men, Fairse Brooks, Frank
Romas and Bennic Taylor were arrest
ed on a charge of grand larcey and
were locked up in the police station to
await their trial. Yesterday at noon a
report was received by Sergeant Glen
Kambo that the shack of Emil Thurow
had been entered and a $500 suit
stolen. This is the third time that
Thurow's place has been entered. and
valuable articles stolen, but the police
have been unable to get any clew to
the robbers.
Yesterday afternoon Officer Newman
started out on the trail and finally cal
led a a certain Gary pawn shop where
he learned that suit of clothes had
been pawned a few hours before The
suit was produced by the pawnshop
proprietor and it was found TO be the
one taken from Thurows shack. 1t
was then an easy matter for Officer
Newman to locate the guilty parties.

ASKED SHELTER; SAID
He HAD QUARRELED
Little Information Can be Obtained
From Observation-Disclosures Are
Working on Theory of Revenge
Body Permitted to be Mutilated by
Train to Hide work of Slayer.

The Gary police are now morally GER
tain that the man who was so terribly
mangled on the Pennsylvania tracks
was the victim of a cold -blooded muir
der. Evidence obtained yesterday by
friends Of the dead man establishes the
fact beyond peradventure that there
had been a quarrel at the shack at
which the man resided and that he was
forced to leave the night before the
murder.
But little information about the man
can be obtained from the people in the
shack in which he boarded. except the
fact that he had lived there. 1t has
been ascertained that he left this place
the night before he was killed and ap-
piled at several shacks for board and
room, but was told that they were all
full and was turned away.
Have Two Reasons.
Two reasons were set forth by the
police why he might have left the shack
at which he boarded. One is that he
stole the handbook from one of his
companions and tried to get away with
it. and another is that he quarreIed
with his companions and was forced
to leave. This is what he told the
boarding bosses when he applied to
them for board and room.
The circumstances of the killing,
which will be related to the coroner to-
day. supports the story that the man
was murdered. A pool of blood was
found near the track. short distance
from the body indicating that strug-
gle had taken place at this point At
the place where the man was found
there was practically no blood at all
which shows almost conclusively that
the man was dead before the train
struck him. 1t is believed that he was
then placed across the track. where the
top of his head and the end of his
foot was cut off,

COMMERCIAL CLUB
POSTED ONE OFFER
Gary Real Estate Board May Also be
Made Defendant in Suit-Sleuths
Point Out That They Were Induc-
ed to Spend Extra Money in Their
Efforts Earn Reward.

Captain John c. Halpin Of the South
Chicago police station believes that his
men are entitled to the reward offered
for the arrest of the murderer of Lizzie
Schroeder, and if they do not receive
it they intend to sue for it In court
This information was impaired yester-
day in South Chicago by Captain Hal
pin of the South Chicago station to
Chief Martin of the Gary police force.
In a suit of this character, among
others. the Gary Commercial club and
the Gary Real Estate Board would
probably be made defendants. Shortly
| after the murder which shocked the
4 whole community the associations met
4 and offered rewards for the murderer's
arrest. These the police officers be-
lieve have never been withdrawn.
When a reward is offered for a mans
arrest 1t is pointed out, the police of
various cities are induced to expend
more money on that particular case
than they could afford to do if there
was no hope of being repaid for their
trouble and expense. The police also
believe that after working diligently
for over two years on the case they are
entitled to some remuneration for theil
efforts.
Community Forgets Rewards.
The various rewards made for th'
capture of the murderer Of the gir
were posted at the time that the whole
community was excited, and the polic'
tried hard to apprehend the criminal
After two years of constant work OF
the case. however. he was finally cap
tured, after most of the community ha'
forgotten that the murder had beel
committed. and after the various or
ganizations had forgotten that their re

Captain Halpin stated yesterday tha
he thought the Gary police had collect
ed the reward or he would have investi
gated the matter himself. His men, h
said, had not only worked hard for tn
arrest of Gagel but they sen a multi
tude of witnesses to the trial at Val
paraiso to convict him, as the rewar
