 Two weeks ago Detective William BrosSnan. whose business it is to know the 1oings of the waterfront sJngs met DOnnelly.
 Warned By Detective
 i've been hearing things. Red. " he told the Stcvcdore czar, you had better lay off. It's in the cards that they'll get you sometime"
 Brosnan said Donnclly answered hIS warning with laugh.
 He was watching the ship loadcHs from whom he extracted tribute vce- tcrday when q messenger approach cd him and said:
 "Iou're wanted down on the pier
 ponnclly strolIcd toward the rerhcad. As he passed the Check CTS booth there were two shots. l.oadcrs working nearby found him dead. The killers had disappeared.
 Like that of many of his prcde- ccssors, ponnclIy's reign was short. Eighteen months ago he was ar raigncd in homicide court charged with the slaying of his immediate edcccssOr. Eddle Martin, It was the fifth time he had faced q murder charge and. as in the previous cases, it was dismissed for lack Of cvidcnc?.
 Judge Urges Killings

 Co out and keep the good work up. Shoot each other all you want 10, and the sooner we get rid of gang leaders in Brooklyn the better 1t will be for the police and the people,

 way into the hearts of admirers at il
 recital at the First Baptist church l last night, which was under inc
 auspices of the Woman's Society ot | the church.
 Never before had Nr. Wcstcrman 1 been heard to such advantage. He ! disclosed in manner leaving no
 doubt that he is stepping from the
 realm of q talented youth to the cmpyreau realms Of artistry. Even before he won the Katc A.
 Stanley scholarship several years ago, Mr. Wcstcrman was rccardcI as an exceptionally talented yiohn- lst. He had 10 be in order 10 win the scholarship hcCaus" competition WaS spirited. Since that time he has studied diligently in New York. anG even now, while spending a season { in his home town. he remains under 1 the expert guidance of one Of his | New York teachers.
 Last night he had an hour and ! fifteen minutes all to himself in which 1o show what progress he had made during the last few years. 1 He seized the opportunity 10 cf- | tcct display of string mastery that surprised even his friends
 To achieve this end he did not, 1 fortunately, seize upon the great
 est masterpieces in violin literature. { These will come later. He played 1 Handel, krcutzcr, Guck. francocur. etc.; but it was the manner in
 which he played them that told 1 the story
 His tone had sayorv warmth: . his cNprcssivcncss tlattcrcd tue l emotions; his boWiug Was in con- ! formity with the highest of stand ard; his trchnic was brilliant. buoy ant and Zcstfui; his intonat;on was

 was an attractive one. The first Of 1 the two allegro movements. cSpc- cially. aroused q wave of en- , thusiasm. In 1t Mr. Wostcrman combined q goodly proportion of the fine points of his playing and 10 such good purpose that the audi cncc applauded vigorously at the close of the moNcmcnt-Somcthing that does not always occur during the progress of a sonata.
 But there were other numbers that attained q sparkling reception. l The Gluck mClodic, for instance. re- i quired little more than tone and cX- l pressircneSs. But the NiOliniSt had such an abundance of both that it
