SUSPECT GUNMEN
OF OTHER MURDERS
Continued from Page ID

ieweiry store in Bridgewater, Mass
two masked men entered the store
held him up at the point Of revolvers
and then stole nearly all the stock he
had IN the place, afterwards making
their escape.
SchlidOwski said he could not de-
scribe tho facial appearances of the
men, because OF the fact that they
were hidden by the masks. but he did
get a good look at them otherwise
he said one was taller than the other
and his general description fits Mont
Nid ana krakus While both men
measure the same IN height Montvid
appears 10 be the taller.
Watch Numbers Same.
Schlidowski gave a description 1f
the jewelry he had stolen from him
and he also gave the numbers of ihe
watches taken. These numbers are
the same as the numbers of The
watches now in the possession of the
police here and which were taken
from the two prisoners. The descrip-
ton OF each timepiece does not IL
exactly, for the reason that the
thieves have taken the movements
from some watches and put them IN
other cases. This act. the police
think, shows them TO be a clever pair
OF crooks who sought by every known
means TO throw OFF suspicion and TO
elude arrest.
The writer of the letter asked the
police to send their reply to 1873 Sill
yer street, South Boston. This reply
was sent yesterday, and the man i'm
formed that the jewelry here is his
property. II is expected that he will
come to this city some time this week
to claim H.
II had been thought by the local po-
lice that a good deal of the jewelry
found on the two men I'm this city had
been stolen from store. In fact Chief
Of Police Black several days ago had
letters addressed TO watch manufac-
turers containing the numbers Of the
time pieces, I'm the hope that cue
might be found
Krakus having been identified as
the man who pawned the watch
stolen from the dead priest. the Rev.
Joseph ZebrOws, in New Britain, the
last link of evidence which seems to
connect him with the staying of the
priest has been found Whether this
information will be submitted to tue
local courts next Monday when Kra-
kus will be tried for the murder of
Patrolman Tierney here is not known
Chief of Police Black had hoped to be
able to produce a witness from New
Britain who could swear that the
watch recovered was owned by the

this man is Ill and cannot be in court
at that time.
The condition of Patrolmen sharp
less and Mcdaniel. who are at the
Delaware Hospital suffering from
gunshot wounds inflicted by Krakus,
continue to improve. This morning
the physicians removed a tube they
had placed in Patrolman Sharpless
body several days ago. The officer ap-
peared TO be much improved and he
was placed on wheel cot and rolled
on to the porch in the sunshine,
where he remained for some time
Friends Of officer Mcdaniel are
planning a handkerchief and postal
shower for the officer. Saturday will
be the injured officers birthday anni-
versary and he will be compelled to
spend it at the hospital. His friends,
however, are planning to make the
day as pleasant as possible for him
and they will tender him a shower.

Board of Police Commissioners that

who were shot by Krakus. are inn
proving and that in all probability
they will recover.
All the members Of the police board
have visited the wounded men in the
hospital OFFICER Sharpless told them
he is going to get better and to able
TO leave the hospital soon. officer
Mcdaniel laughed and joked with
the commissioners and he appeared
to be in the best of spirits. Sharpless
saw a picture of Krakus in a news
paper in his room. and although it
was the one taken when the prisoner
refused TO open his eyes. the police
man at once recognized him as the
man who shot him. Sharpless is very
anxious to get to see Krakus, to get
close to him. so he can have a good
look at the man. In the rapidity with
which events occurred on March
Sharploss did not have a chance TO
get a very good look at the man who
tried TO kill him.
