Thompson Is said to have taken
Detective LIangdon to DIR. Hammer
and to have introduced him as Rob
ert #. Lawrence. Langdon says
he told DR.. Hammer he was q pro-
fessional gunman from Buffalo,
N. r, and that he would do any,
thing IL there was enough in It,"
A series Of conferences took place,
Detective Langdon says, during
which he succeeded in ingratiating
himself with DR.. Hammer. He
says he told DR.. Hammer of
eleven murder jobs" he had
pulled" without being caught
Did NOt See Wife
In mona Of the conferences, how
ever, did Detective Langdou see
Mrs. Apolonio. He says DF. Ham.
mer told him Mrs. ApOIoniO would
sign one ~ the notes with him, but
that she did not want to see the
man who was to kill her husband.
Various ways for killing Apolonio
were talked over between DIR. Ham
mer and Detective IAanEdon, the
latter says. He says that DIR.
Hammer insisted the killing should
be made to appear an accident.
Apol0nio Is said to have carried q
81, 200 life insurance policy, a $1,000
double Indemnity I'm case Of accident
policy, and q third small policy.
Plan Of Murder
| The method most favored was TO
have the supposed gunman, on some
pretext or other, take Apolonio for q
drive in . rented car. They were to
| go TO the suburbs, and there the sup
| posed hired murderer would turn on
his companion, blackjack him into
Enconsciousness, and complete the
| killing by running a screw driver
through Apolonio's nose into the
| brain.
Then the car was to be ditched and
q piece of broken glass from the
Windshield stuck into the face to
cover the wound.
The plot, according to Detective
Langdon. was planned for enactment
last night. Langdon managed to
postpone the time until tonight.
Mrs. Apolonio, according to police
ana according to her husband
7 planned to go to Winchester, Va, to-

getting ready.
While she was getting ready, the
unsuspecting husband went down
to the wharves and worked on 4
motorboat he owns.
Il was a little after supper" he
said today. ''I came home and Their
went to my lodge"
This Is the Washington Lodge Of
the Loyal Order of Moose, to which
DIR. Hammer also belongs. Mrs
Apolonio went to bed, not knowing
according to police, that the murder
date had been postponed.
Went for Pay
About IL o'clock last night, De
tective Langdon went to DIR. Ham
mer's apartment to make final ar
arrangements before the Staying. Pay
ment for the job was foremost. De
tective Langdon says he had DIR
Hammer sign two $500 notes, botE
dated June 1, one payable in 81
days and the other in six months
Both were on the same bank as tn,
notes to Private Detective Thomp
