MONK EASTMAN, CANISTER, SLAIN

New York, Dec. 26.-Monk Eastman.
| New York's most notorious gangster.
has gone west" and with his boots
on. He was shot and killed late
Christmas night as he was making
his way homeward. Five bullets were
fired into his body: one caught him
in the abdomen while, apparently, he
was on the ground attempting to re-
turn the fire and it spelled his doom.
Throughout the whole east side to-
day and tonight there was a hush.
For Monk had been king in his day
and his way was undisputed. His
ganster followers were legion and his
enemies, while numerous, were kept
comparatively harmless by an occa-
sional shooting up and other intimi-
dation.
And Monks death comes when he
had established himself in the commu-
Enity as useful citizen.
Five bullets were found in East
mans bOdy--one i'll the left hand, two
in the left side and two through the
chest
Robbery apparently was far from
the minds of the assassins, as $40 in
cash and watch and chain were
found in the dead mans clothes.
Death came to the ganster in the
very district in which he once had
been all powerful and in which he
began his sway as a bartender-the
Lower East Side. Eastman, the police
said tonight. came from a good family
and his real name was William De-
laney. His parents were Mr.. and Mrs.
William Delaney.
Eastman was about AZ years old.
EIe was discharged from the 1O6th In
fantry of the Twenty seventh Division
on April 2, 1919, and his service re-
cord was marked excellent"
