Deserter From Army

Legs" wasn't long with the
army. He was soon on the run
again, and in 1919 they had him
on Governors island for deser-
ton.
He was sentenced to Fl Leav-
enworth, but his "artful- dodg-
ing" came to his rescue and he
wriggled himself loose from a five
year sentence.
So ends the story of his tin
horn days. He began moving up
in gangland. On the east side
he reigned a transient gang king
known as Little Augie,' other
wise Jacob Orgen. The Diamond
brothers drifted over, for when
"Augie" mixed with the kid
Dropper" gang, he needed some
men of reputation.
Eddie had been getting along
pretty well himself, and Orgen
hired him. But one day Eddie was
away and trouble was brewing.
They called in Legs as a substitute
Strong-arm man.
That day, at the corner of De-
lancey street and Norfolk, three of
the enemy suddenly appeared and
opened fire. They dropped" Augie
and sent two bullets into Dia-
mond's body.
There was an aftermath. Police
were not sure about Diamond. The
circumstances seemed a bit sus-
picious.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-10-17

But ironically enough, the very
weakness that Legs had tried to
conquer through power came to
haunt him. Some time ago. Dia-
mond decided to get bullet
proof vest. When he put it on,
the vest Rugged so tightly against
his diseased lungs that he had to
fling it off. Nature had denied
him a gun guys protection.
And so, once upon a time, two
youths, recently arrived kom
Philadelphia, stood on curb
stone in Hells Kitchen. 1t was
that part of "the kitchen" known
as Chelsea Village, section
fragrant with history and sand
wiched with venerable old homes
out of the lavender-and-lace
period. But their sector was over
by the docks, down the meaner
and poorer streets.

Economy Talk Is a Joke
Declares Law School
Dean, in Speech. |
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind, oct. H.
Republican claims of economy in
the administration of the Indiana
state government are a joke, and
the only way for Hoosiers to obtain
relief from high taxes is to elect a
Democratic general assembly, Paul
v. McNutt, dean of Indiana univer-
sity law school, declared at Demo-
cratic district rally here Thursday
night.
Hundreds braved rain to hear Nc
Mutt and other speakers. McNutt,
former national commander of the
American Legion, was the guest at
a dinner of World war veterans be-
fore the meeting.
Bringing state issues to the fore,
McNutt said: 1.-THE dominant issue
in the state campaign is tax relief
Governor Leslie is attempting to
cloud the issue by stating that dur
ing the four years Of the last
Democratic state administration
the tax rate was 40.1 cents, while
in succeeding Republicans admin
istrations the levy has never ex-
coded % cents.
What the Governor forgets to
tell the people is that taxes paid
are determined by two factors, the
rate and the assessment. During
recent Republican administrations
assessments have been doubled
treb1ed and in some instances even
quadrupled. What the citizens OF
Indiana are interested in is the
amount of money they have to
draw from the bank and pay to the
state treasurer. That tells the
real story"

some question as to whether or
not the family name was Nolan.
And as they stood there, while
the black smoke of many steam
ers overcast the sky, a gang OF
hoodlum youngsters drifted by
and gave them a casual once over.
They saw the gang scatter into
little. squads, two hiding behind
billboards and a couple more
ducking into doorway.
The waterfront streets were
cluttered with wagons and trucks.
Now and then a driver would
leave his truck and go inside a
building.
Then, looking to see if the road
were clear. one lad would steal a
package from a truck and run.
Jack was skinny and taller than
the others. He was greeted as a
valuable acquisition. In no time
he was leader and in high stand

the truck sides and run like the
