Il was learned last night that the six
unknown men. in addition TO the four
prisoners above named, who were taken
to Police Headquarters and questioned
at an early hour yesterday morning
were all chicken handlers" from the
West Washington and Harlem markets.
What was CLEANED from them could not
he learned, but il was intimated that
information had come TO the detectives
which inspired the confident hope that
the chauffeur of the so-called murder
car" would be taken into custody TO-
day.
Two bank clerks from the Century
Bank. goth st. and Fifth av, who were
eye-witnesses of the murder of Baf,
were summoned TO Police Headquarters
Yesterday afternoon, and the four pris-
oners we're shown to them. 1t was an
nounced later that they had been I'M
able TO identify any of the prisoners
as men they had seen in the vicinity OF
the market on ahe night of the shoot
ing.
4 dramatic incident occurred before
the four prisoners were taken from
Police Headquarters YESTERDAY AFTER
noon. James Moore, who, with Schwitz-
ky. Klorney and Rosenstein, had taken
part in a lineup for the two bank
clerks. was being led from the Detec-
tive Bureau when he met in the. cor
ridor his brother, John, who was being
conducted to the Bertillon Bureau to
have his fngerprints taken.
John Moore has been convicted Of
shooting at Eighth av. and 14th st.
several months ago, and his finger
prints had TO be taken before he left
for Sing Sing prison on the 4:30 train.
The detectives in charge OF the two
men halted in order to give each an
opportunity 10 greet the other, but
neither brother ficked an eyelash.
They stood immobile. face 20 face and
without displaying the slightest sign
of recognition, for fully a minute, be-
fore the detectives realized the futility
of the ruse and led them away in oppo-
site directions.
