Fleischman's S, Where He Is
Arrested, He Tells Police

Detectives Cunliff and McAulif, who
we're called to the Flelschman Baths
on West Forty-second Street yester-
day to investigate the theft of a valu-
able bracelet and $3.50 in currency
from the room of the manager, Alex
ander Goldman, decided to visit the
top floor to see if the thief got in
through the skylight
"Thats the door to a storeroom
where there's skyli.:ht,' said Mr.
Goldman, pointing, but it's hardly
worth while stumbling over the lumber
inside because the door is always
locked, as you can see"
He turned the knob and the door
would not open. Cunitf locke

Sure enough, somebody was snoring
Justify behind the locked door Mr.
Goldman produced key and the de-
tectives tiptoed inside, discovering a
youth asleep in his silk unde erclothes g
On an old couch.
They woke him, and when he had
put on the new suit and overcoat that
were carefully folded beside the couch
they took him to the West Forty sew
enth Street police station. Mr.. Hannis,
Of the firm of Hannis e. lie Vey, at SO
West Forty-second Street, identified
the outer apparel as garments which
Rad been taken from his shop recently
by burglar, who took S170 in cash
besides.
There were numerous pawn tickets
in the pockets, and some of them, the
detectives suggested might be for Mr.
Goldman's bracelet and the 5000 worth
of articles stolen from Benjamin Lee
voy's Photographic supply house, at 81
West Forty sixth Street.
According to the police, the prisoner
who said he was Frank Welden. eigh-
teen years old, admitted that the de-
tectives had guessed right and that
the other tickets were mostly for ar
ticlcs he had stolen in the two weeks
he had devoted to burglary. Those
fourteen days, the police say, he told
them, had netted him about $4,000.
During that time, according to the
story the police say he told, the youth
had slept in the attic room at the
baths. When he came "home" at dawn
he climbed the rear fire escape, re-
moved pane of glass and unlocked
and opened the skylight. Once inside,
he fastened it again and went out by
the door, to which he had a key.
He worked at the baths until few
weeks ago. Before that, he said, he
had been wireless operator. He also
had been in the navy, he said. He was
locked up, charged with burglary.

Murdered Man
Found Tied i'm
Sack in Bronx
Victim: Struck, Then Stran-
glcd, Believed Killed in
Italian Vendetta; Body
Thrown Into Vacant Lot
Death Symbol Only Clew
Skull Sewn on Clothing
Thought To Be Insignia
of Secret Organization

The body Of an unidentified man, be-
found yesterday morning in a vacant
lot near l77th Street and Eastern Boule-
Yard, the Bronx. The man was tied in
huddled position with heavy sash
cord and his body was shrouded in gun
nysacking. Three burlap bags had been
used to make a sack large enough to
conceal the body. The mans slayers
evidently had dealt him terrific blow
which made an ugly wound over the
right eye and fractured his skull. They
then had hastened his death by strang-
ling him.
The police believe the man was a
member of an Italian secret society and
that his death was the result of a feud.
This theory was inspired by the finding
of skull-and- d-cross bones emblem
stitched into a sweater he was wearing.
The peculiar prominence Of the teeth in
the skull of this emblem are thought to
have special significance, and led to the
belief that the figure is the insignia of
a secret order

hold-up man slain in the Bronx on

they were both members Of some organi-
zation which has made deadly enemies in

John Riegelman, Bronx County medi-
cal examiner. said the man had been
dead one or two days.
The body was taken to the vacant
lot some time Friday night or early
yesterday morning. 1t was accidentally
discovered at 1880 yesterday morning

to obstruct the view of it from the
