WFE'S FREEDOM
Offers to Tell Startling Crime
Tale if Barton viii Clear
"Tiger Girl"

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 26.--Promislng
10 tell a story that would startle New
York. Richard Reese Whittemore or
Baltimore, leader Of a gang Implicated
In at least four murders and In ron
berries totaling 81 900, 900, today sought
freedom for his wife, "The Tiger Girl,
Indicted for a holdup of her own.
Weakened by two confessions. the
six men under arrest In one or the
most highly organized bands ever cap
tured, have begun to talk, Whltte-

her out on the street, I'll startle New
York with what I can TELL" he says.
I'm give up the works and astonlSh
the city"
Request Will Be Studied.
District Attorney Banton said he
would give consideration to the re-
quest provided Whittemore would give
definite information on half dozen
recent robberies, in which $S30,000 in
cash and jewelry was stolen.
The perfect crime" system outlined
by Anthony Paladino, one Of the gang,

Police today were making intensive
search for these men, several of whom
have been regarded as respectable
merchants. MY whole energy is be-
Ing spent on. the apprehension of the
people who made it profitable to COM
NIT these crimes" Mr.. Banton said
The confession, held up by police
36 hours because it outlines sys-
TEN almost failure proof. revealed
that the gang operated with the pre-
cision Of a business corporation. The
22-paga document gave intimate de-
tails Of series Of mysterious rob-
berries and described the minute pre-
cautions taken in each case.
Refearsed for Crimes
1t revealed that the band worked
as a unit. each man assigned to his
part and rehearsed in advance when
ever possible. Members of the gang
usually mixed with passerS-by at the
scene OF a robbery. watched with
loaded pistols for possible int fer
ence and then Joined the actual rob-
bers later.
Baltimore seeks Whittemore for
the murder of prison guard and
Buffalo wants him for the murder
of two bank guards in a $4,000 hold
up.
Where he will be tried is yet to
be determined.
Another gang of robbers, which,
like the Whittemore mob, spent
lavishly in night clubs. also was in
custody today. Six youths and three
girls were held for a series of rob-
berries in small shops. Against five
of the youths are homicide charges
The youths. all dressed in the
height of fashion. and the girls, one

Secretary to offer such assistance as
he could toward an agreement be-
tween the two countries regarding
the sovereignty of the two provinces.
When an agreement had been
reached it would be subject to formal
ratification at Lima and Santiago.
1t would be natural for the media
ton negotiations to proceed in Wash
ington rather than somewhere in
South America.
Definite Plan Indicated.
There is as yet nothing definite to
indicate whether Washington put for
ward, in offering it's good offices,
formula for settlement of the dispute.
Recent conferences between Secretary
Kellogg, former Secretary Hughes
and Gen. Pershing, however, would
indicate that some scheme to settle
the long quarrel was under considera-
ton.
Gen. Pershing served for several
months in South America as head of
the plebiscite commission, and is
understood to have returned to the
United States in grave doubt -wheth-
err fair plebiscite could be held. His
successor at africa. Mai. Gen. Las
sitter. declared only yesterday that
although preparations for the elec-
ton were proceeding. the pre-

Jewels were deposited. He has the

Last May, Mrs. Peter declares, she
asked her husband to send keys to

to them. This request he refused, she
says, and last June she revoked all
powers.of-attorney granted to him. Her
counsel made fruitless attempts to Sc
cure the keys from Mr.. Peter. she

Mrs. Peter charges that her hus-
band, without her authority, has taken
the notes, stocks, bonds and jewels, all
worth $2,300.000, from the safe deposit
boxes. She asks that the court require
her husband to explain where the Sc.

present dema nds, and when these out

railroads using it will see that this
is done.
New Bridge In Few Hours.
On the other hand. 1t was said that
there is little fear on the part OF the
military engineers that the destruc-
ton of the present bridge wbuld seri-
ously impede the movement Of traf-
f1c. Those familiar with military con-
struction in the field point out that
with the destruction of this bridge by
an enemy, within a few short hours
bridge made of scows, such as are
used at the Washington Navy Yard
could be quickly thrown across the
river to take care of immediate traf-
fic, and the military engineers would
Immediately set to work to bulldlng
a trestle bridge and this would not
take more than four days at the out
side. 1t is low level crossing. easy
of access. and it is such sites, II was
pointed out, that the military engi-
neers seek for such purposes in time
of necessity during a period of con-
flict.
Proposed Site Unsatisfactory.
On the other hand. a bridge at the
point suggested by the belt line rail
road would be subject to the same
attack by an enemy, which would not
overlook any line of communication
in the territory in which 1t was
operating, and therefore such a
bridge would be subject to the same
attack as the present railroad bridge
With the destruction OF such a
bridge, II 1t were decided to
replace 1t at all as mill
tary necessity, it was pointed out
that it would be a more difticult
proposition. Here the river runs be
tween two high banks. Trestles
would have to be higher, and timbers
of this length would be hard to get.
1t would not be practical to build an
approach sending trains down into
the valley of the river and then up
again, as the grade would be too
difficult for a train to negotiate, or
otherwise the length of the ap-
proaches to make a gradual grade
would make it long and tedious task.
1t was pointed out. in this connec-
ton also, that belt line tracks would
not be sufficient to handle the traffic
then, as much as the main line tracks
near the low level. In the rebuilding
of q bridge at q low level such as
prevails at the present railroad bridge
it would not be difficult to obtain
piling which would be used without
additional heavy bracing that would
be required to construct high bridge
