difficult for the fugitive to escape
Every known haunt vas searched, and
Detectives Shields and krause went to
New Jersey, where, in cooperation
with the New Jersey officials, they care
fully searched the cnvirons Of Newark
and Montclair. Boldly formerly lived
at 10 Bay Street, Montclair. with his
mother, and it was there in 1919 that
he was sentenced to the state reforma-
tory at Railway by Recorder Henry l..
Yost, Of Montclair, for burglary.
! Prisoner Concealed Gun
In answer to questions as to why
the detectives had failed to find tho
revolver on Roddy at the time they
arrested him before the parole officer
his comrades in the West 135th Street
station said yesterday:
"Boddy was known to every police
man and detective in this precinct
They knew his record we'll. and would
not take any chances with him. There
is no doubt that Detectives Miller and
Buckley 'frisked' Boldly, but they failed
to find the revolver. We Fave since
learned that Boldly carried the revolver
hooked to his belt inside his trousers
away from his pocket. He had a hole
in his jacket pocket and he undoubted-
ly put his hand through this, drew the
revolver underneath his coat and fired
the shots at the first opportunity.'
Boldly was described as a cocaine
fend and a vcnder of the drug. 1t is
fully realized by the detectives who
are hunting him that in the event he
has supply of drugs he will put up a
terrific battle against capture.
His record reveals leniency on tho
part of the judges before whom Inc
was arraigned. He was arrested on
January %, 1918. for burglary and dis
charged, He was arrested on the same
charge June 21. 1918 and sent to Black
wells Island, but paroled. Again ar
rested November j, 1918, for burglary
and discharged. Arrested December
