Police Question Wife of
Sailor in Rueckert Case

The wife Of the former German sea-
man who hurriedly left Hoboken on the
morning Frederick Ernest Rueckert,
wealthy vice-presdcnt Of the White
Metal Manufacturing Company, was
slain in his home in Hoboken. had a
long conference yesterday afternoon
with Chief Of Police Patrick J. Hayes.
The nature Of the conference and what
transpired are being kept secret by the
police, who will not even divulge the
address Of the woman.
The sailor, who was an acquaintance
of Gus Hohlan, valet Of the murdered
man, appeared at his home about 3
o'clock last Sunday morning. announced
to his wife tHat he had suddenly been
called to Ohio, kissed her and departed d
hurriedly. He has not been heard of
since.
Following the conference with his
wife, Chief Hayes admitted that the
police were giving attention to the
theory that former German stockhold-
crs Of the White Metal Manufacturing
Company, whose stock was seized by A.
tudian, might have had motives for
wishing Rueckert out Of the way
Rueckert bought in considerable stock
Of the company when it was returne d
by the government after the war and
the German stockholders were practi-
cally wiped out.
But the police are not turning up
sufficiently important results in the in
vestigation, in the opinion Of officials
Of the White Metal Company. Yester-
day Charles A. Fulle, president of the
company, engaged private detective
agency to Investigate the case.

Hoyt's Conviction
May Stop Drug
Dispensers Here
Organized Traffic Broken
Up, With Verdict Under
Harrison Act Against Ply
sician, Officials Assert

Government officials said last night
]. Hoyt. of / West 124th Street, await
ing sentence under thirteen indict-
monts in the United States District
Court, should do much to break up
organized traffic in drugs here.
IIoyt, according to Assistant United
States District Attorney Peter B.
Olney, has been supplying drug addcts
with heroin and morphine for four
years. He did not write prescriptions
but sold drugs to patients in quarhi-
ties sufficient, in some instances, for
two weeks. He conducted q "sani-
tarium" on his premises and used this
"santarium," according to the Federal
authorities, as u blind to dispose of
drugs.
Entering Hoyt's premises under a
Federal search warrant the other. day
Revenue Agent Ralph II. Oyler was
told by Hoyt that he had eighty ad-
dict patients whom he charged fiat
fee for heroin and morphine, according
to the number Of days for which the
supply was given.
Hbyt was first indicted under the
Harrison act in 1917, when he had 124
addicts at his establishment for the
"cure." Since he has been conducting
his "sanitarium" here ne has dis
pensed 95,175 grains of heron and 53,-
779 grains Of morphine, according tc
the evidence submitted to the jury and
upon which he was convicted and all
but one Of his patients, pronounced
"cured," returned for further treat
ment. He will be sentenced Tuesday
"Physicians in Philadelphia, Wash
ington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleve-
land, Chicago and other cities have re-
fused to prescribe heroin and morphine
for patients during the last two years,
said Oyler. at has been comparatively
easy to get these drugs in New York

Zasloff had left half hour before, say
ing that he was going to take the
wooens to the New York Central
The truekman went back to his office
and became worried. He called in the
police and was talking to the detec-
tives when Zasloff returned, showing
receipts for the cases stamped with the
New York Central stamp. He was un-
able to answer certain questions
Stephens and Conley asked him and an
investigation was begun. The receipts
proved to be forgeries, and following r.
long grilling of Zaslof he broke down,
the detectives say, and confessed.
Labels Changed
Information he gave is said to have
taken the detectives to the warehouse.
There they say they found Pearlstein
and Mullen scraping the labels off the
cases and Cunningham pasting on new,
consigning the woolens to Havana.
Cunningham when arrested insisted
that the police had made dreadful
mistake" but being unable to prove it
was locked up with the others, charged

Bride Tells the ''Valentine
Kid She'll See Governor
and Work to Get Him Out;
Man Convicted 4 Times

On Wednesday Jacob Miller, twenty
six years old. n convicted burglar
known as kid Valentine" was SEN
fenced to spend the remainder Of his
life in Sing Sing. On Thursday Han
nah Rosenberg, twenty-one years old,
Jacobs sweetheart, went to the Bronx
Marriage License Bureau and became
his bride Yesterday he began serving
his sentence and his young wife began
battle to get him out.
1t is an unusual romance, that of
Hannah and Jacob When County
Judge Louis D. Gibbs pronounced SEN
tence on Jacob, as a fourth offender,
friends of Miss Rosenberg felt sure
that her marriage to Jacob Miller
would have to be postponed indefinite
ly.. But Hannah wasn't that kind of
a girl. She calmly announced she
would marry Jacob in spite of every
thing, even Sing Sing. And she did.
Promises to Appeal to Governor
The ceremony was performed in the
Office of Matt McCabe, chief clerk Of
the License Bureau, with Mr.. McCabe
officiating. The presence of the father
of the bridegroom and the parents of
the bride made it more than a per-
functory affair. The young girl smiled
bravely and Jacob seemed as happy
as if he were going on a honeymoon to
the Pacific coast. So impressed were
Deputies Hanratty and Flynn that
they removed the handouts from the
wrists of the bridegroom.
"I'll go to the Governor and work
for pardon" promised Mrs. Jacob
Miller, as Parson McCabe pronounced
the couple man and wife. The visitors
departed and the handouts went back
on Jacobs wrists. 1t was all Deputies
