NEW YORK, Sept 22.-In one Of
the most remarkable auctions ever
held, political representatives Of
/ Philadelphia's Bloody Fifth" ward
were the highest bidders for the muir
der squad of the notorious Frog
Hollow" gang of Bronx borough, Of
fering more than New York poll
ticians. The details Of the barter and
the fulhllment Of the contract to ter
rorize voters with pistol and black
jack at last Wednesdays primary
election were related by three Of four
men arrested in the Bronx on q
charge Of having participated in the
conspiracy which led to the killing Of
Policeman George A. Eppley and the
assaults upon James A. Carey, mer-
camille appraiser, and John H.
Maurer, assistant district attorney.
Inquiry To Be Deep.
District Attorney Frincis Martin, OF
the Bronx. in whose territory the
murder auction" took place, took
active charge yesterday of the inves-
tigation into the killing Of the Phila-
delphia policeman and the wounding
Of the two officials. Unhampered by
any Pennsylvania interests. he made
Il known that he "will 90 to the core
of the case, even II II involves men of
importance" in the affairs of the
city. As q start to his inquiry the
district attorney grilled for hours the
four suspects taken into custody by
New York city detectives.
While at late hour the district at
torney had learned enough to know
that the hired gAngsters went into
Philadelphia with the consent and, by
the protection OF q certain police Of
ftcial, and that q man who is de-
scribed as a political worker" had
an active part in the directing OF the
murder, be expects from further con-
fessions to obtain sufficient evidence
to bring the case before the grand
jury Of the county.
Plot to XIII Carey.
James H. Carey was to have been
slain" that Is the outstanding state
ment drawn from the gangster by the
district attorney. The cartridge which
was to have killed the McHIchol lead
er failed to explode, and Eppley, ig-
nor9nt OF the mission OF the Frog
Hollow" gang, met his death when
he attempted to arrest the man who
was told off TO do the actual murder.
Up to that point every detail OF the
plot worked out as smoothly as its
amazing plan called for. There was
no slipup, and. but for the defective
cartridge. the contract, as executed
here. would have been carried out.

Then we got down to business. A
short, dark-haired man, not more than
thirty years old. and a kind OF round
face, came in He was rather well
set and seemed to have a lot of
money. This fellow told us that we
were expected to do a good job in
the district, and see to IL that there
would be lots OF trouble to keep
things moving"
Here Falcone described the scene
where the instructions were given to
the gangsters. In the room where
the men were collected, chairs were
arranged much like a meeting place,
and the Philadelphian at the head OF
the party showed them a map OF the
district where they were to operate.

parley. the two men from the Fifth
offered to pay the boss a liberal
bonus and give the men SIS a day
each, with board, It being stipulated
that there must be plenty Of drinks
and cigars for the murder party"
To bind the bargain, the district
attorney learned, a contract was
drawn and signed in much the same
manner as any such document is pre-
pared for the supply OF labor gangs
to railroad camps. the local poll
tician then sent for one OF his lienten-
ants, who, after being introduced to
the Philadelphians. went about the
task OF rounding up the guerrillas of
the hollow. By Saturday night every
thing was ready for the excursion to
Philadelphia and a final party was
enjoyed by those enlisted.
We left for Philadelphia on the 0
o'clock train Sunday morning and got
there just before noon" Falcone said
in his confession.
AT the station we were met by two
men, one OF whom made US believe
that hhe was a detective. He showed

peared to be his boss.
From the station We went to a ho-
tel, where the big eats were waiting
for us. and We certainly were treated
