DRUG SELLERS FOE
SHOT AND MAY DIE
Detective Caspers Attacked In
Harlem-AssaiIant Escapes
Bullets.

A cocker" got Detective John c. Cas-
pers last night. The detective, who
has more than 500 arrests TO his credit
in the campaign against drug users and
vendors on the upper East Side, is in
a serious condition at Mount Sinai Hos
pital. He was shot twice just before
midnight on East l05th Street, near
Fifth Avenue. One bullet entered his
right thigh and the other shattered
his right knee.
Caspers, with Detective Confrey, an
other member Of Inspector Bolan's
staff, was scouting through the neigh
borhood. At 105th Street and Fifth
Avenue was group of men. One OF
them was a young fellow whom Cas-
pers suspected of being q cocaine seller.
At a word from Caspers the detectives
lounged carelessly in the direction of
the group.
When not more than ten feet away
the youth whose presence had attract
ed Caspers flashed q revolver from his
pocket and fired.
Caspers fell. The group fed, dissolv-
ing in the crowd. Confrey leaped for
ward as the shots rang out. His eye
was fixed upon the man who had fred
them. The man ran headlong across
Fifth Avenue, lodging traffic miracu-
lousy.
I The detective followed, Juggling at
his revolver AS soon as he freed il
from his pocket he fired five shots az
the fugitive. Fifth Avenue was crowd
ed with promenaders and with East
Side denizens seeking relief in Central
Park from the heat. At the volley they
dashed about blindly, while chauffeurs
set their brakes and skidded.
Leaping the wall of Central Park
Confrey's man vanished in the shrub
berry. He still had at least three shots
in his revolver while the detective 5
was empty. Nevertheless Confrey
vaulted the wall right on his heels and
crept warily and swiftly through the
underground.
For a few minutes a rustling and
cracking told him which direction to
pursue, but the sound soon ceased and
after beating the park in wide circles
Confrey gave up the chase and re-
turned TO the East 104th Street police
station 10 send out a general alarm.

mats Stepson of Cruelty
and Non-SuppOrt.

Mrs Lillian Holmes Volck, whose
father last Wednesday applied for a
writ of habeas corpus tc have her
freed from her apartment, where, it
was charged, her husband, Morris
Roderick Volck, son of Nine. da Cana,
wife of the Brazilian Ambassador at
Washington, kept her and her baby in
communicate, yesterday filed a suit for
separation in the supreme Court.
II became unnecessary TO make use
Of the writ of habeas corpus because
before action could be taken Volck had
left his home, at II East Sixty-eighth
Street, thus giving his wife her free
dom. The next day at the summer
home OF his mother Nolck made a
statement denying he had imprisoned
his wife and calling the whole affair "a
tempest in teapot" you may expect
reconciliation within twenty-four
hours" said Volck. MY wife and
are on good terms"
Only the summons was filed yester-
cay, so that the specific allegations Of
Mrs. Nolck will not become known
until her complaint has been filed.
However, it was learned that the wife
bases her action on charges of cruelty,
non-support and abandonment.
There was much excitement in and
about the Yolck apartment for couple
of days last week. telephone mes
sage reached her father that Volck had
returned home, after an absence Of
about month, and refused 10 have
his wife communicate with her family,
and also would not permit her 20 leave
with their baby girl. Their three-year
old boy, it was said at the time, was
in the care Of Nine. da Cana. who has
q great affection for both children.
Mr.. Holmes went to the house, but
his way was barred by the superin-
tendent of the house, who said he had
orders not 10 admit him 10 the Volck
apartment Efforts 20 reach Mrs. Volck
were also unsuccessful. Then Mr..
Holmes called Edmund /. Mooney into
the case as his attorney The latter
went TO the SiXty-eighth Street house
and also was denied admttance
Nine. da CANA was the widow OF
Arthur II. Hearn when she married
Senior Domicio da Cana. Nolck IS a
son of a prior marriage George A.
Hearn. father of Arthur II. Hearn,
gave Volck a marriage present of
$50 900. which he has been receiving
al the rate Of $4,000 a year II is said
this money has been spent Two
months ago Nolck advertised that he
would not be responsible for any
debts except those incurred by him.
