AUTO BANDIT KILLS CHICAGO DETECTIVE Lured Into Wabash Avenue Officer is Shct Down Af
 ter Making Arrest.
HIS SLAYER ESCAPED
Man Who Directed Officer and Wo. man Who instigated HOld.Ips
 Are Being Iieln.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Eetective Peter Hart was shot and instantly killed this afternoon while trying to arrest man said to be Robert Webb, want ed as an automobile bandit The shooting occurred in the flat of Mi- chael Cassello, 1919 South Wabash avenue, after the officer had gone to the flat to secure information about the auto bandits. Hart Was one of three detectives detailed to watch a garage in Michigan avenue where Frank Nadia kept the cache for dis posing of the loot of the gang, accord ing to the confession of James A. Perry, alleged leader of the bandits, now under arrest.
 Earlier in the afternoon the, police arrested Belle Hastings, Madia's sweetheart, and. the connecting link between the captured bandit and Webb, the one still at large. The Hastings woman is a sister-in-law of Cassel!o.
 An hour later Cassello met Hart iE the rear of the Nadia garage and told him Webb had been to the Hastings woman's flat and was going to return. He suggested that the detective lie in wait for the mans return.
 Accompanied by Officers Byers and Joyce, Hart went to the Cassello flat. Joyce and Byels remained downstairs to watch for Webb while Hart with Cassello went up stairs.
 According to Cassello's story when they entered the flat Wetb was seated in the living room. Hart pull ed his gun and covered Webb. He backed Webb up in corner. Then held his gun in his left hand and searched Webb's clothes for pistol. He then laid his gun down on table and recahed for pockets with both hands. As he did so Webb grabbed the gun from the table and at the same time pulled his own Hart grappled with him and they fell to the floor. Two shots rang out and Hart fell dead. Webb escaped. Cassello is held by the police be- cause of many minor inconsistencies in his tale. It i:r hinted by the police that the shooting was carefully laid plot in which it was hoped that either Detective O'Neil or Malloy, the two who first started the lout of the au- tomobile bandits, would be the vic tims.
 The Hastings woman is the wife of Joseph Hastings, an iron moulder Until a year ago she was the sweet heart of Nadia whose hole in the wal garage served as a cache for the gangs plunder and who rented the private cars to at least two auto bandit gangs in the city.
 Mrs Hastings and Webb, the police say. have been intimate ever since the auto bandit raid started, four months ago. The woman is said to have beer the instigator of many of the gang boldest raids.
