Moss Enright. a notorious Chicago
gunman, who was killed in gang fight.
The detectives learned also that Moss
had received a package from Camden,
containing n change OF clothing and a
safety razor, and a brief note, saving.
"Will write morrow---Sunday. There
were photographs Of several women.
whose names are not known. and many
pawn tickets. These were for articles
pawned before the Peirce murder.
Detective Belshaw thinks there may
be significance In the fact that the man
staying at the same hotel with Moss,
who is supposed to have stolen Moss
overcoat, and who complained that his
own "fur overcoat'' was stolen, was
known as williams.
When Treadway was arrested at
Wheeling he was first called Norman
williams and gave that name. Tread
way had two army discharges In his
pocket, one in the name of Norman
Williams, a dishonorable discharge, and
the other in the name of Peter T. Tread
way. The descriptions in the discharge
papers did not tally. ,..
Hunt for Williams
Detective Kelly, Of the Philadelphia
district attorneys Office, reached Pitts
burgh early today. and he is working
with the Pittsburgh men In an effort
to run down Williams. An additional
reason for believing that the Williams
who fed from the Pittsburgh hotel may
be the Williams named in the dis
charge papers, according to the detec-
tives, is that his former occupation was
given in his army record as hotel
clerk. For a day he held job as 0
hotel clerk In the Hotel Schaeffer, II
Pittsburgh. An effort is being mad,
by the detectives to get from the hote
manager a description of the man wht
worked at the hotel to see IL it tallie,
with the description in the discharge.
Girl Tells Of Safe Robbery
Detective Belshaw asked when he ar
rived at Pittsburgh IL there had beer

The girl told Belshaw and Soude
that about eight weeks ago CAP Smitl

Treadway lived on Arch street wit
Harry Kendrick, who Is still bein

fur coat with a gray fur collar, whic
she believed had been stolen In Wcs
Philadelphia apartment robbery. Th
police think this is the coat which "a
Smith wore in his getaway, possibl
!, having stolen or bought it from Ken
drick.
Treadway, Smith and Kendricl
Marie told Belshaw, borrowed 81 froI
her and went away. She did not se

: Third Degree" Breaks Moss
Moss made his confession last nigh
l after he was put through the "thir
degree" in Pittsburgh. He made bot
and written confession.
His statement last night gives tn
, first coherent account of what led up
the crime.
/, "I did not kill Peirce," Moss said
