GUNMEN PLANNED
TO KILL BOY WITH
THEM IN RUM RAID
Were to Take His $4,000
Pay for Crime and "Seal
His Mouth"

A double cross" intended to re-
suit in the murder and robbery of a
nineteen year. old choir boy who had
turned criminal to get a $4,000 re-
ward for arranging u raid on O liquor
warehouse. was disclosed to-day by
Judge Tierney in the Richmond
County Court.
The Judge revealed the plot In ac-
cepting a plea of murder in the Sec
ond degree from Joseph Conlgal, In
dicted for first degree murder when
Michael Connor. an aged watchman.
was shot and killed while guarding
liquor held in a Staten Island ware
house.
"Conigal." Judge Tierney said to
the young prisoner before sentencing
him TO from twenty years to life In
Sing Sing, "you are the luckiest man
in the world to be able to stand here
to-day and plead TO murder In the
second degree. On the night of March
! three gunmen were after you, and
not after Waterman Connor. They
believed you had $4,000 on your
person and II they had seen you they
would have shot you down like a dog
to get that money"
News of the olot whereby New
York gunner were tipped OF to get
Conigal after the robbery came from
James Primm. thirty-two. No. l49
Powell Street. Brooklyn, who also
pleaded guilty to second degree mur-
der to-day and was given a sentence
similar to Conigal's. The latter. It
was learned, was paid the $50 to
arrange the successful looting OF the
warehouse. Then. la order TO make
sure that the youngsters mouth
would be sealed forever gunmen were
hired to get Conigal after the liquor
had been seized. The gunmen were
to keep the $4,000.
Raymond G Collins, a Dartmouth
College man, refused the opportunity
to plead to second degree murder and
is now in the death house" awaiting
eiectrocution the week Of May %. II
was his testimony that showed
Pimm's connection with the gunmen.
