BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 21.-In final
gesture Of bravado toward hum
dreds of police and detectives who
have been hunting him for more
than ten days. "3X," the murderous
maniac, served notice in character
istic style today that his mission is
done.
In a letter to the Evening Jour-
nal "3X" said he would Stay no
more, that his papers" have been
en- route to Russia by airplane.
The man who killed Noel Sawley
and Joseph Moyzinski and threat
ened the lives Of seven others, said
he is a member of a Russian so
ciety.
The letter said in part:
The last document, U j 1914
returned to us on the 10th. At 9
D. m. My mission is ended.
There is no further cause for
worry. I do not know Dr. Williams
and the others. The first sign re-
ferring to his SIX signature means
A. the supreme tribunal of the Or
der. The second W its special
agent The two combined forming
a diamond) from the Red Diamond
Of Russia, a secret order all over
the world"
The letter continued its fantastic
revelation saying that the strange
organization vowed revenge against
Moyzinski and Sawley because they
had turned against the order and
that he had been chosen to punish
and inf1ict death on the two if pos
sible.
1t continued:
1T was when Moyzinski died that
they found who I am. Then things
began changing. Now it is all over.
The documents in question-one is
a military document, another is
political.
THE third one, just surrendered,
is commercial. Who am I? Not
much. An ex-German army officer
of the Wilhelm street Office, Berlin,
during the war, now in the service
of the Red Diamond of Russia.
Il was watching them at G. P.
apparently College Point, where the
murders occurred) on the night of
the 18th, at sharp. ION that night
the entire section was secured by
police after letter had been re-
ceived saying that the murder would
be committed near there.
"A German officer never breaks
his word. Yes, right there. Have
you heard a plane? 1t was a mono
plane, small, very fast? The plane
circled twice over C. P. Flushing,
Bayside. Then went away. If you
did, you will know I was there"
The letter closed with a tribute
to the women Miss Catherine May
and Elizabeth Ring, who were with
Moyzinski and Sawley at the time
of their deaths) whom he charac-
terized as mice and brave" He
also included a cryptic tribute to the
police.
The letter was signed H. P.

when police were admittedly at a
loss to understand the mysterious
murders and accompanying letters.
Five suspects were arrested Fri
day, three in Queens, one in Phila-
delphia and one in Newark. All
were exonerated.
While Philadelphia and New
York officials investigated the &C
tivity of another crank letter
writer, Joseph Oswald Clark, the
Rev. Joseph v. Cooper of the
Emanuel Episcopal church OF
Brooklyn gave police what appeared
to be their most promising clew
After a close study of the cryptic
handwriting of the maniac muir
derer, police said. the Mr.. Cooper
gave them the name Of Sidney
Buchan." whose handwriting close
" resembled that of '3X." He said
the man was formerly a church
worker, but had disappeared after
giving evidence of having hallucina-
tons. Among them was a delusion
that international plotters were
scheming against him. This also
has been feared by "3X."
