telephone last night about 0 o'clock
1t the West Sixty-eighth street sta1
ton.
Il know Boldly" the man shouted
over the wire. II know him well. And
i've just seen him so into this house"
He gave the address 23S West Sixty
second street. Lieut.. Hamill, on the
desk. rang for the reserves. under
Sergeant Velstedt, and squad of de-
tectives under Sergeant Cornelius
Manning dashed from the station,
jumped aboard half a dozen auto
mobiles in passing traffic and went
boiling through Amsterdam avenue,
striving at the house within five min
,ites. The reserves were thrown about
the block and the detectives went into
the house.
All Held on Police Lines.
The flight of the policemen caused
furry through the district. All persons
who sought to get out of the block were
detained at the police lines. inside. the
detectives ransacked almost every apart
ment, sometimes with the aid OF the
occupants who expressed great fear at
the prospect of the slayer being nearby
and q wholehearted desire to have him
caught But Boldly was not there. so
far as the search revealed. There was
no one who could be found who had seen
any one that resembled him-and
Boddy's features are well known in the
San Juan district.
That fruitless pursuit was the most
exciting incident last night in the search
that has been going on since Thursday,
when Boldly at the door of the West
1S5th street station, wrested himself
from the grip of the detectives and fired
bullets into their bodies.
In order to safeguard against the pos
sibility Of n repetition of Thursday
nights tragedy detectives last night vis-
tied saloons, coffee houses. all night res
taurants and other places where ques-
tionable characters are accustomed to
foregather in search of gun and black
jack carriers. Hangers on in these
places were lined up by the detectives
and searched and several arrests were
made as a result of them. Numerous
crap games and poker parties were
raided in Harlem's black belt in connec-
tion with the precautionary campaign.
About fifty negroes were rounded up
in the police drive in the Third Inspec-
ton District and taken TO the West
Thirtieth street station, where they were
searched and questioned regarding their
acquaintance with Boldly. a majority
of them declared that they never had
heard of Boldly
The campaign launched by the police
last night was said to have been the
most extensive since war days when
spies and slackers were the game"
sought.
1t became known yesterday that
Police Commissioner Enright, in his
capacity as member of the Parole
Commission. might have prevented the
release Of Boldly from the Blackweils
Island penitentiary. The excuse on
which Boldly obtained his freedom on
parole was that he wanted to have a
big scar on his face treated.
Under the formal procedure the Parole
Commission has TO pass on the case OF
every prisoner who gets his liberty un-
der good conduct. and this has to be
approved by the Judge who imposed sem
tence. The approval of the judge al
most invariably follows the consent of
the Parole Commission. which is not
supposed to make such. a recommenda-
tion except after investigating thor
oughly the prisoners past history. The
record OF Boldly was well known to the
police. II could not be ascertained yes
terday whether the police were consulted
ny the Parole Board. but II was said that
Commissioner Enright rarely sits with
that body.
Depend on Scar and Girl.
