ground floor We learned the name
of the laundry was either the Bright
the Brighton or the Brighton Hand
Laundry.
AT once | started in. by the process
of elimination. to find that laundry. |
put out ropes everywhere within 2OO-
mile radius of the Grand Central ter
minal.
Last Sunday. acting on n similar
tip, but not so good. we went to New
Haven and found the fire escape of
house. as described. from which the
tenants could watch an open air NOV
ing picture show. but after beating II
up and giving the whole territory
good shaking up. we decided that New
Haven wasn't our place.
While there we inquired for Pole
chuk who knew both men and who was
one Of the few of their acquaintance
we couldn't account for. We learned
he hadn't been to his home, in No.
Edgar street New Haven, for more
than a year.
Then we learned that there was
Brighton Hand Laundry in Philadel-
phia. another OF the same name III
Pittsburgh and another In BridgetoWn'
y. j. But sometimes the laundr!
would not be in a wooden house. or II
ii was there would be no great NUMBER
Of Swedes and Germans around as we
knew there must be, from information
we had. and If there were thered De
no open air moving picture show.
This morning | started circular
as far North as Portland, Me" ana as
far South as Richmond, Va, and as
far West as Chicago and st. Louis ask
ing the chiefs of police TO look Tor
Gyp' and Lefty And we also had
the detectives here on the job through
a general order.
But TO cut short a long story we
found he New Brighton Hand Laun-
dry al No. 80 Woodward avenue, nav
ing the wooden house. the fire escape,
the open air picture show which they
would watch from the window, and -
Dougherty winked, smiled and pulled
on his cigar and let his hearers finish
the sentence.
Wives Vanished on Tuesday.
Then in answer to a question he
said:
we lost the wives Of the two men
last Tuesday night, when they got on
the train at 92d street and Second
avenue and came downtown"
Then, something striking him that he
had forgotten in the excitement of the
moment he continued
Each time these people-the women
got in an automobile the word was
flashed TO me and | surrounded the
town. watching every avenue Of escape
from New York City, having men
posted at every station. bridge, ferry
had every train crew examined TO see
if they saw the women on their trains
and If they got off at any way station.
Then we ended this work this morn
ing by finding the laundry. We sur
rounded the house, and you know how
we got up there all right"
Another question started the Deputy
Commissioner on q fresh tack. This
time he said:
Grover Vaughan was on an inside
plant since this morning. This even
ing, when he telegraphed me that he
saw Lefty's' wife go across the street
TO a grocery store, We knew they were
all there"
Then details Of the arrest were
asked for. and in answer TO the ques-
ton as TO what the gunner were do
ing when he and the detectives burst
In upon them. Dougherty, who made
no efforts TO conceal his pride at the
capture, said. mimicking a girl about
to serve tea:
"They were about to sit down TO
their evening tea"
All laughed and Dougherty turned
to his interrogation and asked:
How do you like that?"
Then he laughed himself. and, re-
membering he had been asked about
the automobile used by the wives Of
the gunner, he said:
ooh. about that automobile As
explained, we did not want TO ask
any questions. II we did, il would
have been a goodby. a sort OF fms to
our work"
1.-The automobile" he continued, lis
in the name of May Lewis, but II was
owned by her husband, Myer Lewis,
who rents it out. He lives at No. 159
Delaney street, and there IT was
stored. And you want TO bear in
mind II was always waiting at what
ever l. station these women got Off"
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty
was asked if he knew how "Gyp" the
Blood and Lefty" Louie spent their
time from just before the murder Of
Rosenthal up 10 the day they engaged
their apartment.
We'll. we know that they METAL
Of them--just before the murder, and
we have witnesses who saw the shoot
ing done and who say these are the
men, as Mr.. Moss here will tell you"
he replied.
The Assistant District Attorney
nodded.
