Warfare of Gangs
Results in Murder
In Harlem Street

NEW YORK, July 17.-Gang warfare
was transferred to Harlem early today,
and out of 1t grew a murder and a bomb
outrage.
Shortly before 2 o'clock there was a
fusillade Of from ten to fifteen shots at
the corner Of 10sth street and Second
avenue. When the police arrived on
the scene they found the body of a WELL
dressed man-evldently an Italian-lying
upon the sidewalk with ten bullet holes
in his body. Eight Of them had been
fired into his back, evidently after he
had fallen from shot in the head.
The police summoned an ambulance. al
though the man was dead when found.
Just as the ambulance drew up an ex-
plosion was heard in 109th street. In
vestigation showed that an internal ma
chine had been set OFF In the first floor
shattering the front Of the building.
At the Harlem Hospital an effort was
made to identify the dead man, but
without success. His body was then
removed to the morgue.
A short time after the shooting q
wounded man walked into the East
Seventy-sixth street police station. He
said he had been hurt in a bomb ex-
plosion. and asked medical aid. Afte,
| being treated he disappeared before tn,
| police could question him further.
The authorities began an investigation
along the line that the shooting and
bomb outrage were in some way cor.
nected. They believe the old gang
principle that Dead men tell no tales
Is involved in the murder o: the un'
| known man.

through Mrs. Belva Lockwood, repre-

initiate the probate proceedings.

that the will was executed by Spauldin 9
three days beore he died. He was too
feeble to sign his name, II Is claimed,

NOTED SW|NDLER
AGAIN TAKEN ON
COINAGE CHARGE
James K. Osborne, Seventy
Years Old, Arrested at
Los Angeles. /

James X. Osborne, seventy years Of
age, was taken into custody for the
third time by the Secret Service today,
according to a telegram received by
Chief Wilkie from Los Angeles. Osborne
was caught making spurious coins, ac-
cording to Information here, and in
view of his past record another term In
the penitentiary is almost inevitable for
this gray-bearded old man, whose pro-
pensity to make counterfeit coin seems
ineradicable.
Osborne appears on the records Of the
Secret Service for the first time In 1852
In New York, where he was arrested
and convicted for making false silver
dollars. He received four years sem
tence In Auburn prison, and was par
doned out two years later.
In the early nineties Osborne was
caught counterfeiting again, this time
in Chicago, and he went to Joliet for
ten years. For the last eight or nine
years he has not been in custody, al
though several Western cities are sup
posed to have been the scene of his
operations. He was in the habit OF
passing his coin on street cars.
When arrested Osborne had bogus
SO and a bogus $40 bill in his pockets,
and a number of counterfeit quarters.
not charged against him, and 1t is
scarcely believed that he made these
two bills But in the rooms where be
was taken today were found number
of prepared molds, and baking OF
