member. of the association himself and
that he was still paying $14 per month
Into it's treasury. 1t is this fact that
makes the police. believe that in the
prisoner they have the man who
planned not only that robbery but
many Others.
Nine months after the murder OF
Father Ansion the hold-up of the loan
association, one of the most desperate
crimes in the police annals of Newark,
was the first of a series of srobberies
which kept the police of this, city and
New York busy for many weeks, and
eliminated in he capture of Mardas,
Tomakoff and Danowicz for the rob
berry of the Brooklyn bank and the
murder of the brother and '1ookkeeper
of the proprietor, Selig Korn-a case
which ended with the conviction of the
trio and their sentencing yesterday.
Besider the crimes already mentioned,
the hold-up of the cashier ofsthe Hooton
Cocoa and Chocolate Comrany, on De-
cember 81, seemed to point conclusively
to the fact hat the outrages had been
planned and committed by the same
band, and when the three men SEN
fenced yesterday We're captured after
a hand-to-hand fight after the Brook
Ign crime, the police of this city had
them planted" for capture.
1t is said that an effort will be made
by Judge Grain, who presided at the
trial of the three desptradoes, to have
the death sentence imposed on Mardas
committed to life Imprisonment.
None of the men now held at police
headquarters will speak, and all pro-
TESS themselves innocent of any crime,
but the police say the evidence OBJ
tanned Is so strong that a speedy con-
viction is sure to follow their trial.

Gently arrested, in order hat he might
be closely watched, lis said by the de-
t~ectives on the case to have demon
strated that his arrest in the first place
was no mistake.
Detectives Persevered.
Since the time oftthe Ansion murder
Sergeants Tuite INT Horter have been
constantly on the case, and, with the
assurance they had received that the
man behind thai crime was also mixed
up in the hold-ups which followed,
have pursued their Investigations until
now they are sure that they have
rounded up all but one of the members
of the desperate gang.
If necessary. it is said, Antonio
Salzycka, the priests housekeeper, who
was also wounded when her master
was killed, and who is now in Galicia.
Poland, will be brought back to this
country to face Danowicz and Sew
czyk and seek to positively identify
them as, members of the band who in
vaded the priests home on March 10
last year.
With Tuite and Horter was John
Bloom, a policeman of Bloomfield, who
is an expert in the Polish dialects, and
who assisted in the arrest of the four
men now in custody.
Though not yet slated under a
formal charge, the four men now in
cells We're photographed and Bertilloned
today, and efforts will be made to con-
ect them with crimes of a like nature
in other cities. The detectives also
say that they have evidence that the
gang, to which the four prisoners are
said to belong. had mad most elabo-
rate plans for the holding up of a pay
car in the subway in the near future,
and that only their capture prevented
the contamination of this most pic
turesque plot.
