 The police incline to the belief that the band comprises specialists in various forms of crime, working un- der the direction of a master crook The Apache of Paris, the sneak thieves of Spain and Italy, and the gunmen of New Yorks own East side apparently are represented.
 District Attorney Banton said today that Mrs. Albert R. Shattuck had definitely identified as the leader of the gang that broke into her Wash ington Square house as Henri Boilet French butler. who was alleged tc have disappeared after $2O,0OO theft from the Shattucks in 1917.
 Search now is being made for Bolet in the French colonies of var ious cities.
