REIGN OF TERROR SPREADS
AUTO BROUGHT INTO PLAY

NEW YORK, June 6.-Central Office de-
tectives were abroad in the gang haunted
sections of the city last night with in
structions to shoot to kill any gun men
who started trouble.
1t may be denied that these instruc-
tions were issued. But the results of
the next gun fight will speak for them
selves. Downtown New York is in state
OF terror over the latest outbreak of the
gangsters.
The eight gun fights and two bomb ex-
plosions of the past three days, with
record of one man killed and six injured.
have turned the city into the status of
western miEng camp. And what with the
refusal of the gangsters TO testify against
one another when arrested. and the laxity
of courts in dealing with such as are
caught. red-handed, the police have deter
mined 10 take matters into their own
hands.
I'VE intend to break UP these gangs in
short order" said Deputy Police Commits
sioner ougherty last night. Il have been
seeing men in my office all day about the
trouble. and our plans are about COM
pleted to put a finish to these outbreaks
Police to Engage in Shooting.
The meaning of this is that when
the next bombardment opens to the
helter-skelter shooting of the thugs
against one another there will be added
the deliberate craftsmanship of the po-
lice against both.
A woman is said to be at the bottom of
this latest outbreak Of lawlessness, which
resulted in six gun nights between b
o'clock Tuesday night and sunrise yes
terday morning.
Taking a page from the book of the
Paris apaches. the automobile has been
called into play. and running fights by
night, with the flash of firearms to mark
the flight of the assassins, have added
to the terror.
The police are in momentary expecta-
ton of a fresh outbreak. and the situa-
ton is rendered UNNECESSARILY difficult
by uncertainty as to where the next clash
will occur.
From the best information obtainable
the followers OF Big Jack" Zelig, who
succeeded kid" Twist in the leadership
of the Monk Eastman gang, have
sworn to exterminate the Sirocco outfit
of Five Points fame.

Trouble Arose Over Woman.

AS has been said, the trouble arose over
woman-Wanda Murphy-who went
over from one gang to the other. The
bitterness is accentuated by the fact that
Zelig and Sirocco were formerly fast
No. 10 Pell street.
Both gangs are composed largely of the
ignorant foreign element, and because of
services performed around election times
they enjoy a measure of political pro-
lection. They shoot on sight. il wildly,
which is the added danger of the situa-
ton, since an innocent bystander Is fire.
quently hit by bullet intended for a
worthless gangster.
Excluding the preliminary skirmishes
which opened the war last Sunday night
at Coney Island, here is list of the
shooting since $50 o'clock Tuesday even
ing.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning two
men were wounded in a hand-to-hand
fight at 9th street and I'd avenue. An
hour previous Dick Curley, a fight pro-
moter, was fired upon from a rapidly
moving automobile on Sd avenue.
AT 8 O'Clock the previous night the
Gopher gang volleyed at two billposters
at 18th street and 10th avenue. Half an
hour previous there was shooting in
square, where Mondays daybreak battle
occurred.
Killed in Front of Home.
In addition to these. Rocco Cusano
was killed by a gang of men in front
of his home on Morris avenue. the Bronx.
and there was the running fight Tues
day afternoon in front of Chick Think
ers saloon No. al Bow4y. when a
squadron Of three automobiles made a
flying attack on the place.
Dick CurIey the intended victim of the
attack early yesterday morning, was
standing at Sd avenue and 18th street
when big motor car drove into view.
Without warning. some one on the front
seat opened fire. Curley dashed into a
restaurant, and made his escape by the
back way.
In the next fight at ID avenue and Sth
street the gangsters were .afoot. and
found stretched on the sidewalk Antonio
Angerzio, twenty-four years old. a clerk,
of rs West 35th street. and Charles Lew
is a salesman, of 16l Manhattan avenue.
Angerzio had a bullet in his right leg.
Lewis had been shot in the left leg and
hip. :
The arrival OF the police put the gang
sters TO rout Albert Leonardo. a truck
man. and James Martello were arrested
ON charges of felonious assault.
Martello was identified as one of the
men arrested in the first gun fight in
Chinatown Monday morning. but was
released when arraigned later. All three
men threw away revolvers during their
flight. and these were later picked up
along the street.
The two wounded men were taken to
Bellevue, where they are held as witness
es. Jacob Lazarus. painter, was also
arrested as a witness.
