LAUNDRYMAN HELD
IN BAFF MURDER
Swarm Thinks New Arrest Brings
Him Near Bigger Men.

In the arrest Of Angelo Gagliauo,
proprietor of a laundry at 339 East
10Th Street, charged with murder in
the first degree, District Attorney
Swami believes he is nearer the men
who actually ordered the death Of Bar
net Baff at West Washington Market
on November "a, 1914 Gagliano was
the partner of Ipolito Greco, the
saloonkeeper, at Dos East 10th Street,
who was murdered soon after Baff was
shot and the man who, according TO
witnesses at the trial Of the two men
already convicted of the actual muir
der. distributed the murder fund.
When Frank Ferrera, driver of the
murder car, and Giuseppe Arichiello,
the gunman, were arrested last Feb
ruary. Gagliano was held by the police
and questioned closely. He was finally
released on his promise TO keep in
touch with the police. After the con
viction Of Ferreri and Arachiello the
District Attorney discovered new evil
dence which resulted in Gagliano's in
dictment anu arrest. This makes three
more defendants to be tried for the
murder, the other two being Joseph
and Antonio Zafarono, who acted as
"lookouts." Gagliano pleaded not
guilty to the murder charge yesterday
before Judge Delehanty in General
Sessions.

the articles, which were part Of his
plan TO aid his suit for Miss Pecks

His mercenary motives, she told MI
Dooling, were revealed soon after their
marriage-in fact, one hour after the
ceremony, when he brought up the sub
ject OF the income allowed her by her
parents.

said. Apparently he was more con-
cerned about my financial prospects
than anything else. He did not show
any desire to spend the income for our
mutual happiness. In comparison with
my own tastes, however, he was extrav-
aqant. He engaged our Riverside Drive
apartment, which was, | suppose, ex-
pensive. He, Of course. had his own
pocket money, which he apparently was
spending lavishly on someone else

SEES HIM ON TRAIN
Colonel Undisturbed by "Old
Guard" Manpuvres-Hughes
Sentiment Doubted.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt left New
York on the Wolverine Limited yester-
day afternoon for Detroit, where he
speaks this morning on "Pacifists and
Preparedness" He will leave Detroit
for New York this afternoon, and will
arrive at his Oyster Bay home about
noon tomorrow.
W. Cameron Forbes, former Gov
ernor General Of the Philippines, was
the only person of prominence at the
Grand Central Terminal to see
Mr.. Roosevelt off They chatted a mo-
ment about Philippine affairs before
Colonel Roosevelt and his party board
ed the train.
Mr.. Roosevelt was in a clipper mood,
apparently not in the least disturbed
by reports that the "old guard" was pre-
Earring to beat him in the Chicago nom
ination by forcing the nomination Of
Justice Hughes. On the general situa-
ton, however, he laid nothing. The
one thing he apparently had in mind
was talking preparedness in Henry
Ford's home town, the idea OF taking
the fight into the enemy's camp appeal
ing TO him.
Leaders in the Roosevelt movement
were less reticent, however. They de-
clared without mincing words that the
"old guard" was not seriously thinking
of nominating Hughes; that the leaders
Of the ancient regime were very much
up in the air. with Senator Penrose,
of Pennsylvania, the most doubtful
factor in the lot
Penrose has not emerged in Penn
sylvana as we'll as early reports tend
ed to indicate. Full reports will not
be in much before tonight, # they
are in then, but the best he can hope
for is little more than half of the del
egation. This half is not solidly anti
Roosevelt With the BrumDaugh men
Roosevelt is at least the second choice
of the majority. :,
Progressive leaders further declared
that the Hughes sentiment reported
from one end OF the country 10 the
other was largely of the manufactured
kind and not as nearly spontaneous as
reports would indicate. From the
West came reports that. declarations to
the contrary notwithstanding, many
Progressives would refuse TO support
Hughes.
These take the position that Hughes
is being forced on the party by the
"old guard" regardless of the demands
of the majority Of the voters. and as
one writer put it, "the only difference
between the old guard methods of
1916 and 1912 is one of degree. They
are more refined in 1915 than they
were in 1912 In 1912 they used lead
pipe. In 1916 they are planning to use
gas"

they had a gas range, for cooking q gas

never went 70 bed after he got sick"
In a pail which she guarded with spe-

them in cotton and sprinkled water on
them every day for two years.
