EXPECT ARREST IN MURDER CASE
Schenectady Policenan's Slayer
 Known, Sleuths Say

Schenectady, N. r.. Feb. 26. - Search for the man who nearly four months ago murdered Acting Police Captain Albert l., Youmans. vice crusader, in this city. today turned definitely toward New York city. Po- lice admitted that not only were de- tectives from the Schenectady de- partment in New York at work on the case. but that they confidently expected an arrest would be made today. And further than that they expressed the belief that the men who aided or abetted. the murder, who contributed to a death fund" to pay the murderer, would be ar- rested in several eastern cities.
 The confidence of the police grew out of the arrest in Albany yester- day of Joseph Wilson. taxicab driver, known also as Frank Schwab, and who is believed to have driven the automobile in which the man who shot down the police captain es- caped from this city to Albany and thence to New York. Wilson ar- rested and held on a technical charge of vagrancy at the order of Commissioner of Public Safety George Egm Ramsey, was ques- toned last night. Police said he had furnished clues that promised to lead not only to the actual murderer, but to the men who contributed to the death fund.-.
 Disposition of Wilson's case is set for Saturday afternoon. but mean while. it was said, cooperating po- lice officials are directing searches in Albany, Watervliet and Cohoes, neighbor cities of Schenectady, and also in Uniontown and Scranton, Pa,
