Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-08-03

sensing what the deputy commissioner
was driving at, Weber went on to
tell how he and vallon and others of
their mixed set usually spent the try
Ing weather Of the summer months in
the cool and quiet little towns Of the
Cntskills-Big Indian, Fleischmans,
Grimm Corners and other villages.
When Harry WALTON twtrled his walk
ing stick into police headquarters and
sat down some hours later for a chat
with the deputy commissioner. he let
out that his wife was at Big Indian.
Frying into the gossip Of gamblers and
gangsters, Dougherty discovered that
hardly a man mentioned in connection
with the Rosenthal murder was not
familiar with these Catskill villages.
On the Sunday after the killing OF
Rosenthal fifteen central office mer
were sent up the West Shore and pu,
to work with Kingston as a genera
base. They shed their city clothes, dis
carded as many Of their sleuth marks
look like faI- hands or itinerant labor
YRS. From day to day singly or II
pairs they drifted along the little rail
road lines in Delaware and Greene and
Ulster counties. They spied at the de
pots, caught the gossip OF village
stores and wherever the prospect
seemed likely took a Job as a hired
hand. In a few days they began to gel
interesting news.
Harvey Locates His Quarry.
Detective Harvey, who had gone tc
Fleischmanns, found out several days
ago that there was a stranger in town
who said that he was a chauffeur out
Of a job. As quietly as possible, feign.
ing the curiosity OF a native. the cen
trail ONCE nan obtained a description
Of the jobless chauffeur. The descrip-
ton Tailed nicely with the appearance
Of whitley" Lewis, the Zelig gang
fighter. who was an old acquaintance
OF Harvey's. The detective found out
at what boarding house Whitley
Lewis was stopping and managed to
get a peek at him. Harvey rubbed his
hands IN delight. He had located bis
man. That was three days before he
made the arrest.
He could have clapped his hand on
Lewis shoulder that moment. but that
wasn't part of the game as the central
office men were playing at 1t. He
hoped that some of "Whitey's" friend.
would drop In at Fleischmanns to pay
him a call and Whitley" himself would
make a little excursion that would lead
the detective to "Gyp the Blood" or
Lefty Louie" But whitley" Lewis
was leading a strictly retired life. He
seldom moved out Of his boarding
house and then only after dark. Har
vey, loaing along the country roads
never let Lewis entirely out of his
sight except for a few hours In the
night.
All of this time the central Office
man was leathering his face and hard.

to bed. He was up every morning q
little after daylight. On no night did
he get more than four hours sleep.
On Thursday afternoon Harvey trail
ed Lewis to the depot and found tina,
Lewis had bought a ticket for New
York. All hope Of being led to the
other murderers had vanished. So Har

his face, took a hitch In his gallusea
and laid hands on the gun man.
