cause of his alleged activities in To-
cal Bookkeeping circles about a year
ago, but who for some months was
general prohibition agent on the
staff of Zone Chief John y. Apple
by. in charge OF New York State
and New Jersey. was shot and killed
in Fair Haven, n J., by his cousin,
Charles Pappas. The shooting fol-
Slowed an argument which arose
when Pappas demanded his pay
from Scandals for driving his car
for him for the last five weeks.
1t will be recalled here that Scan
dalis aided prohibition officers to
capture a young rum runner and his
car in Martinsburg last year. 1t was
rumored at the time that the rum
runner had beaten Scandals out OF
$4,000 worth of booze The rum
runner failed to show up in Federal
court and his bond was declared foI-
feted Afterward he showed IN
and claimed to have been sick in a
local hospital His trial may be
scheduled for the coming term of
court
Pappas was arrested a short time
after the shooting at Asbury Park
and was committed to Jail without
bail The authorities say that Pap
pas confessed the shooting, but con
tended that it was in selfdefense, as
his cousin was advancing up on him
with an iron bar A negro. who saw
the shooting told the police that
Scandals fell at the first shot from
Pappas He fired again at the pros
trate body.
Scandals was said to have been
the head of a big bootlegging ring
which operated throughout this sec
ton about a year ago. The Greek
was we'll known in local bootleg
ging circles He had been caught
several times with the goods on
him, once at the Belvedere Hotel,
in Baltimore, but he escaped a
prison sentence on each occasion.
dere. it is said that he joined the
| dry" enforcement forces in return
for his freedom.
Scandals was prominent last viii
ter in the alcohol cases in Bridge,
port, Conn He had been used as an
under cover" man. working with
the general agents. He was usually
referred to as the Mysterious
Charles" in the court cases in which
he figured.
Il, Captain Appleby upon hearing of
tho shooting. stated that he had
heard that Scandals had been en-
gagged in bootlegging on the side
and that several weeks ago he dis
