O,OOO Loot
Recovered in
Burglars Home
Table Linen, Opera Gowns
and Silver Trays, Stolen
by Metelsky in 80 Rob.
beries, Found by Police
Wife Denies knowledge
Some of Articles Identi-
iied as Taken From Resi-
dence of Justice Kappcr

In hall bedroom of an apartment
at 702 Rockaway Avenue, BROOKLYN. oc-
cupted by the burglar William Metel-
sky. known as "Deadshot Dick" who
wss shot and wounded in a revolver
duel with detective early Friday, the
police said yesterday they had found
100000 worth of stolen property. Some
of the loot has been identified, accord
ing to detectives, and some of the
articles, it is said, were recently stolen
from the home of Supreme Court Jus
tice Isaac NJ. Kapper.
When Metelsky was taken to the
hospital, where he is being guarded
by two detectives, key was found in
his pocket which, detectives allege, un-
locked the bedroom in which the loot
from thirty or more 'robberies was
found. The police report that Metelsky
told them the number of robberies
which the loot represents.
Gowns and Linen Found
In the room, detectives say, they
found a table of unique construction
which had secret receptacle. In this
they assert quantity of fine table
linen was secreted. Among other
articles recovered were a blue opera
coat, q green velvet opera coat, an
Alice blue gown with beaded trimming
several silver trays and copy of "The
Lady of the Lake." which bore on it's
fyleaf the name Of Donald Mccormick
and the address Grand Rapids, Mich
A beautiful horn handled fishing knife,
with the name II. Mccormick and the
address San Francisco, also is said to
have been found.
Among those who have made identi-
hcations of portions of the loot are
Frank L. Patterson, of 555 First Street
who identified several pieces of cut
glass; A. Glen, of 357 First Street, also
cut glass, and Mrs. Mclaughlin, of 361
First Street, who identified several
pieces of cut glass and small objects
classed as bric-a-brac.
Wife Pleads Innocence
Mrs. Pauline Schiller Metelsky, wife
OF the alleged burglar, was in the
apartment on Rockaway Avenue when
detectives arrived to search Metelsky's
effects. She said she knew nothing Of
the property found in the locked room
and had no suspicious that her husband
was paroled convict.
AS Metelsky has been living in Rock
away Avenue less than year, the po-
lice have expressed the opinion that
there may be another room somewhere
in the greater city which contains more
loot from burglaries of which "Dead-
shot Dick" may have knowledge.

Boys Brain Operated On
For Removal of Tulnor
Physicians Are Optimistic Over
Case of Panama Lad, Who
Was Detained Here

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17.-Success
is said by physicians to have attended
an operation upon the brain of seven
year-old Manuel Salones, Of the City
of Panama, whose case aroused inter-
national Interest, first because of his
pilgrimage of 1000 miles to hos
pital here and second because of de-
lays imposed by immigration officials at
Ellis Island, New York.
The surgeons trephined a square
inch of bone at the base of the cere-
bellum. They found an incipient
tumor not as far developed as orig
inally had been thought, and their task
correspondingly easier. 1t is believed
the boy will recover. He was able to
talk happily to his father tonight.
Manuel's voyage was sponsored by
William Jennings Price, United States
Minister to Panama, and by Emilio de
Motta, the Spanish Consul here.

Judge Claire C. Edwards, from the

that the confidence game charge was
