II have no wish nor do / intend to
give Assemblyman Ullman any further

reason Of our being an experimental
school, and hence one of limited

Police Inquiry
In kidnapping of
Socolow Ordered
Report in Baltimore Press
of Connivance by Force
Here Starts Department
Probe; Officers Deny 1t

The charge made in the Maryland
press that Walter Socolow, alleged
Baltimore murderer. was kidnapped
from the Supreme Court here with the
connivance and help of the New York
police received official attention from
the department yesterday, when Third
Deputy Commissioner Joseph A. Faurot
announced that hearing on the allie
cations will be held in his office at IL
o'clock tom row morning. The Balti-
more papers reported that Socolow was
rushed away in a Police Department
automobile with New York detective
car from being held up in traffic.
c. F. Robb, superintendent Of the
Burns Detective Agency, was positive
that a yellow taxicab had been used to
spirit away the prisoner whose arrest
ne had caused after trailing him for
/. months, after the double pay roll muir
der which Socolow is alleged to have
committed The superintendent ad-
mltted that the case was almost iden-
/ tlcai with that in which the Burns
Agency is said to have engineered the
kidnapping of Esry Orchard during the
Los Angeles bomb investigation, but
ne denied that either he OR his agency

The rumor current here yesterday
was that Detective Geor~e P. Gilbert,

front seat of the abductors' car. but
. this was emphatically denied at head

and Detective ergeant Cornelius Brown,
who had char@e of the prisoner de-
ciared that they had done everything
l. .aeir power to overtake the kid
napers, but they are to be questioned

!. morrow
Mr.. Robb suggested that the Baiti-
more detectives had probably made off
with Socolow under the impression
that the New York courts were
through with him temporarily and that

Robert P. McChesney, of $50 River
SIDE Drive. faces extrad;tion to Wash
lngton to answer the charge ,s- steal
.ny money and jewelry while taking an
injured man from the scene of the
Knickerbocker Theater disaster to a
hospital on January 20 last. He was
arrested in the main postoffice building
yesterday by Detective Johnson, who
recognized him from photograph
McChesney was passing the Wash
ington Theater when the roof, with
iapsed, burying in its debris scores of
the audience. One of the latter was
Colonel Edward Shaughnessy, former
Assistant Postmaster General. Nc
Chesney helped extricate some of the
victims, and is said to have taken
Shaughnessy, who was severely injured,
in an ambulance to Walter Reed Hos
pital, where he died later. A valuable
platinum wrist watch and $50 in cash
w're missing when the government off,
cial reached the hospital, it is alleged.
The police say that McChesney, after
his arrest, admitted that the articles
were in his possession and that when
ne returned 70 the scene of the tragedy
ne spoke of it to several persons. One
OF them, woman unknown to him. he
said, told him that she was a relative
to Colonel Shaughnessy and offered to
return the articles to Mrs. Shaugh-
messy. McChesney said ne gave the
watch and cash to the woman and the
incident slipped his mind.
Mrs. Shaughnessy swore out COM
plant against McChesney last July
and warrant was issued. The man
disappeared from Washington, the po-
lice say. His attorney, Joseph j.
Porte, said he believed McChesney was
being prosecuted by Department of
Justice officials, who think he has in
formation they want in connection
with the liquor situation.

mitted that he is out on bail awaiting

Prosecutor Beekman went to Morris

Earlier in the day he made an attempt
to get the order from the judge at

him. Mr.. Beekman said he did not

that the crime was the work of a
moral censor, Ku-Klux Klansmen,

Mr.. Beekman is, of course, dependent

Street, was wheeling her three-months-
old baby, Mildred, yesterday afternoon
and stopped at the Woolworth store at
208 West 125th Street to buy rattle
She left the baby carriage on the side
walk and was inside of the store less
thar five minutes. When she returned
both the baby and her carriage had
vanished.
The mother screamed and frantically
ran up and down the street looking
or her baby. Traffic Patrolman Nc

learned the cause Of her trouble. He

A woman who would not scream for
hclp, but begged and pleaded for her
life, sobbing and moaning for mercv.
was shot to death late yesterday after
nc On in a room at 221 Eas. Eleventh
Street, where a man had just been snot
and killed.
The man and the woman were found
dead on the floor of the room within
ten minutes after it's occupant, John
Ferrone, had stro.led noncA Aalantly to
the street and vanished in The hurry
ing throng.
The dead man was identified as
Benny Rosner, of 80 Goerck Street. He
had a police record dating from 1908,
which included a fve-year sentence
for burglary in 1918 which was snor,-
ened by pardon from Governor Smith,
and was identified first from his finger
prints and then by his brother.
Was Awaiting Her Daughter
The woman was Mrs. Lillian Schmidt,
twenty three years old, who lived at 81
Avenue A. Josephine Glendock, who
lives in that house, identified the body.
Mrs Schmidt was separated from her
husband. Her mother, Mrs. Kalitsky,
and her fve-year-old daughter, Peggy,
are on their way to this country from
Poland, and Mrs. Schmidt had engaged
rooms for them at 119 East Fourth
Street.
Mrs. Schmidt's shirtwaist was torn
and her hands were scratched. which,
the police believe, is proof that she
not only pleaded but fought with her
murderer Her pocketbook was found
with S1.19 in it.
According to the police, Benny had
won the affection of the young woman
from Ferrone Neighborhood gossip
was that Ferrone had been saying bit
n things OF his successful rival, and
the police believe that Benny, in a
spirit of bravado, forced Mrs. Schmidt
to accompany him to Ferrone's room
yesterday and the tragedy ensued.
The five-story brownstone structure
ut 221 East Eleventh Street, in which
the bodies were found, has been a

day night pot roast, flank it on either
side.
On the second floor of the house to
the east lives Mrs. Lillian Mayer. On
the second floor of the house to the
west lives Frederick Kautz. At about
6:15 p. m. both of them were adorn-
ing themselves in honor of the immi-
nent pot roast, when the sound of a
woman's sobs, and her low, pleading
voice, interrupted them. Kautz says
a moment before he had heard some
thing fall heavily in the room at
221 East Eleventh Street, as though a
trunk had been dropped or bureau
had fallen. t9
Women's tears are not infrequent in
the boarding houses Of East Eleventh
Street, but there was a desperate, hope
less insis 'ence in this womans voice
which smote the listeners with panic.
Only for q moment could Kantz and
Mrs. Mayer Withstand the urge for ac-
ion impelled by the weeping woman in
Inc room next door.

He went to the room on the second
floor occupied by Ferrone. 1t should
have been tenantless. Ferrone, barely
five minutes before, had sauntered
down the stairs and out into the street
making some carefree comment on the
mlidness of the evening as he passed
Epst.
The room was not tenantless, how

moor were. The mans was stretched
