the hotel and was administering the
last rites to the wounded men. Nogel
and 'Lottie" were dead on the floor.
The girl had great bullet wound IN
her breast and blood poured out of the
mans right temple.
Drs. Epstein and Rovenschein took
the wounded men to the hospital. Last
night 1t was said that Butler was about
the only one who would recover. Cor
oner Healy got a short statement from
Fay. who told between gasps the ro-
mantle story that lies behind the chase
and its tragic ending.
Fay said that Sadie Breckenhoff, who
was arrested yesterday, on the charge
of stealing trifes from people she
worked for as servant girl, had con-
fessed under a sweating by the private
detectives that she was only part Of
trio that had figured in several diamond
robberies; and that Vogel and "Lottie"
were the two other bars Of the triangle.
Fay was assigned by Deputy Com
missioner Dougherty to accompany Al
len and Gerade, who stood outside the
furnished room occupied by the man
and woman at Tenth avenue and 25th
street and saw them have their bag
gage loaded on the taxicab. The de-
teCtives followed, once losing the pair,
but finally caught them again, and
stood guard outside the hotel long
enough for them to open the trunks
and suitcases, which were supposed to
contain the plumber the three had
stolen in various places.
About 9 o'clock the detectives went
in and ordered Mondschein to show
them the room in which the man and
woman We're. It was then the shooting
occurred

armed. He had an automatic revolver
loaded with eleven cartridges; she had
a short, police model gun. Some Of its
cartridges had been fired, and it was
thought by the police last night that
she had fought, too, to save her lover

Spider" Allen when he was on the
police force. One night, when he was
looking for dips" on surface car he
tried to wrest a revolver away from
man. Patrolman Loughman, who was
on the car in plain clothes, was shot
and killed fn the scuffie. Allen re-
signed from the department three or
four years later.
