As a basis for the investigation these
three agencies had:
First-The actual crime.
Second-The persons OF Mascia and

Third-The fact that a fortnight Of

moment before he died he identified
Mascia as his assailant. High police
officials at City Hall sent out orders
that poured police into the ward by
scores and the Fifth ward went under
a rule that was almost martial for the
rest Of tho day
There was started Immediately the
machinery Of powerful political
clique to cover up" the trail Of those
who had any dealings with the gun
men. simultaneously there started the
machinery Of the law to trace the re-
sponsibility for the crime through all
its devious ways. The passage OF a
day saw the crushing Of the scheme
for protection before an aroused public
sentiment that would permit the
shielding OF no guilty man.
The investigation is being carried on
by three more or less related but ac-
tually independent agencies. First Of
these Is the force of District Attorney

Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania in

tion Of which Carey was one of the
ward leaders and which is opposing

The second agency IL the Philadel-
phia Police Department. This is d.
rectly under control OF Mayor Smith,
who following his election and inau-
guration named william r. Wilson, a
former State Representative and one
Of the principal lieutenants Of Con-
gressman William s. Ware and State
Senator Edwin II. Ware, as Director of
Public Safety. The Wares are the
heads Of fast growing faction In the
Republican party in the State which
put over" Mayor Smith az the Repub-
lican candidate and Martin G. Brum-

more than twO-thirds OF the city and
