In fact. so well was the plot laid and
so carefully did Schultz cover his tracks
that the detectives think he might
have concealed his identity had he
killed Reilly outright. In fact, il was

sufficient clue for the police to have

they have learned Of Schultz the at

and may result in his surrendering
himself before they are able to get
any clue to his whereabouts.
Six Central Office men and several
officers OF the Ninth precince are de-
voting their entire attention to the
case today, while the 500 other mem
