Death With Shoes on Ends
Career Of Gunman Re-

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 Riddled
with bullets, the body of Monk East
man, once notorious gangster, was
found yesterday in Fourteenth
street, near Fourth avenue. Nearby
the dead gang leader, gunman and
war hero lay a revolver with all five
chambers empty.
UNKNOWN At MORGUE.
Identity OF the slain man was made
possible through comparison OF finger
prints with those at police headquar-
ters. For several hours the dead
sangster lay at the mJrgue listed as
unidentified" The only clue to who
he had been was obtained from tag

Monk" as he was known to the
police. and TO the majority of the
New York public, was murdered In
the section in which he led the famous
Monk" Eastman gang and near
where he was a bartender in the early
days of his career.
The body was found at the subway
entrance on the south side OF Four
teenth street, west of Fourth avenue,
by policemen of the Mercer street
station with five bullet wounds, one
of them in the heart. On the steps or
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit subway
entrance at Union square the police
men found a .32-calIber revolver with
five empty chambers.
In the dead mans pockets were
$40, a watch and chain, and Christ

server, no EFFORT was made 10 stop
the slayer, who after emptyinS MS

q tAxicab and sped away.
HAD Lucid CAREER
Eastman, whose right name was
William Delaney. had . youthful ca
reor that was lurid, even for under
world annals. The son OF wealthy
and indulgent parents. he chose as his
companions the gangsters OF the one
time toughest" district in New York,
near Fourteenth street and Third ave-
nue--only a block from where he this
morning was killed.
A dozen years ago the Monk East
man gang was composed OF gunner
burglars and drug addicts, and the
police claimed to have traced score
OF murder mysteries to the zone In
which the gangsters operated. Their
leader. however. served terms for
lesser crimes-burglary. smuggling
OF narcotics and disposing OF stolen
goods.
The last time Eastman appeared on
police records was In 1918. when hf
was arrested, pleaded guilty to rob
berry and was sentenced to two years
In prison. On his release, In October
1917, he enlisted in the army as a
doughboy in the One Hundred and
iSg.I 70 - So 4.
Division. He then was forty-five
years old.
REWARDED FOR COURAGE.
After the war he was honorably
discharged, but lacked the rights OF
citizenship because he had been con-
victed OF felony. Governor smith, In
restoring the soldiers civic status.
acted on the recommendation OF the
regiments officers. The letter of
Lieut.. j. A. Kerrigan. OF Company G..
read:
During the attack on Vierstaat
Ridge. Eastman was wounded and
taken to casualty clearing station.
He remained there only three days
for. upon hearing that the re~>ment
expected TO go into the line again
he escaped from the hospital, equip
ped himself from a salvage dunn
Joined his company. and was in &C
ton throughout the entire linden
burg line show. His conduct was ex-
emplary. and he has never been re-
ported for absence without leave or
any other ofYense."
Another incident related to the
governor was that Eastman had gone
over the top" on hands and knees
with grenades with which to attack a
German machine-gun nest The en-
envy fire was SO intense that his pack
was sheared from his back, but he
gained his objective.
