HUNT FOR MURDERER.
Young Man Believed to Be Guilty OF
Saeias Of crimoa.

Indianapolis, Sept 24.-Convinced
that the young man who on Monday
brutally murdered and robbed Joseph
Schlansky, a clothing merchant In
hotel here, is the same person who has
committed similar crimes in several
eastern and middle western cities, the
local police department last night asked
officers in every large city east OF the
Mississippi river to watch for the
slayer. They believe the murderer Is
Joseph Ellis. about 81 years old, OF
Richmond. Va.
Investigation Of the murder OF
Schlansky showed that 1t had been
coolly planned and the escaped 80
cunningly carried out as to throw off
suspicion temporarily.
After numbering the merchant the
man discarded collar spotted with
blood, walked to q nearby store where
he purchased another and then return
ing to the lobby Of the hotel where his
victim lay dead, remaining for an hour
or more. Later in the afternoon the
slayer returned to his room and then
going to the union depot secured his
suit case from the check room and is
believed to have departed on an east
bound train.
From Information: gathered gathered by the
police. Ellis known also as Brokaw
and Robert Duncan. committed SINH
lar crimes in Louisville last week
and left there Saturday for Indianopo-
lis. Previous to the Louisville robber-
les the man Is supposed to have at
tackled clothing merchants in Cleve-
land, Toledo, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh.
In each town where the man oper-
ated his scheme was the same. He
would register at hotel under an as
| sumed name, call On one Of the
smaller clothing merchants or sec.
ond- hand dealer, Invite the man to
! his room to inspect samples. Once in
the mans room the procedure nearly
always was the same The victim
either was struck down or forced at
tie point Of revolver to submit to

Iuables were stolen and the robber.

couldn't get him to 90 at all.
This set me thinking soon found
out that he ran downstairs to the let

had been a fine one. I followed him
and caught him in the act of destroy
