probation and left the city July 1.
Congressman johnson, who was one of
the complafnants, took much interest
IN the case and was instrumental in
having the young man put on proba-
ton.
Police Surprised.
A peculiar feature of the case is the
fact that Brokaw is wanted in different
cities for robbing persons in hotels. 1t
Is police axiom that a crook has a
speciality in the criminal line and al
Ways operates along that line. They
were considerably surprised to learn
that Brokaw, known as confidence
worker. was wanted for thug work.

been sent out for the Indianapolis job,

Richmond. Va. The family is said to
have gone to the Virginia city about a
year ago from Los Angeles. Six weeks
ago Ellis went to Richmond and spent
one day with his parents. He was sup
posed to have been employed in New
York at the time.
Brokaw had a criminal record before
being arrested in this city. last June.
In 1910 he was arrested in Pittsburgh for
money by false pretenses, and
given ninety days in the workhouse.
, The same year he was arrested in
New York for false pretenses, and given
ninety days in the Nassau county Jail.

as well as the police of a number of
other cities.
1t had been believed that Brokaw,
ms1querading under one of his various
airs ses. was the murderer of Schlansky.
But yesterday, when it was learned that
Brckaw had been arrested in San Fran
cisco on the day the murder was COM
mitted, the Indianapolis authorities
were convinced they had made q mis-
take and that Anderson and Brokaw
are really different persons.
Developments up to the present time
have made the case one of the most
puzzling murder mysteries of its kind
that has occurred in this country in
years. Briefly, the facts are these:
Lured Into Room.
Schlansky, a clothing merchant of In
dianapolis, was lured to the room of a
hotel occupied by Joseph Ellis" He went
to the room supposedly to purchase
some clothing from the young man. This
was on Monday. On Tuesday the mer-
chants body was found in the room
occupied by Ellis. A strong cord had
been tied around the merchants neck
and he had been shot through the head.
His watch and SO were missing.
lvveral similar robberies had been
committed in Cleveland, Philadelphia.
Toledo, Louisville, and Pittsburgh.
However, the Indianapolis case was the
0Ist one where the robbers victim had
been killed. In Pittsburgh a photograph
OF Brokaw, well known to the police
under the aliases Of Boley, Roland, and
White had been identified as that of the
young man who enticed q secondhand
clothes dealer to his room in hotel
IN that city and robbed him. Chief Of
Police McQuade, of Pittsburgh sent
Photograph Of Brokaw to Indianapolis.
where 1t was identified as that of
the murderer of Schlansky. Then came
the word of Brokaw's arrest in San
Francisco for the Pittsburgh police, and
The clue proved fruitless.
Wanted In Pittsburgh.
A dispatch was received by Major
sylvester yesterday from the Pittsburgh
police stating that BrohAw was wanted
il; that city for robb,Sg the second
hsnd clothes dealer and asking when he
vas released here.
On June 10. last. Brokaw, who is
twenty-one years old, was arrested in
chicago for the Washington police. He
was brought to this city by Detective
Eaur and charged with having obtained
money by false pretenses from the fol-
lowing:
