MYSTERY Wells
THUG s DEATH

NEW YORK, May 9 G.NSO.
Vincent Gaffney, gang terror of
a decade ago, was found dead to-
day, his head and face bashed-
lying in West Fifty-fourth Street.
The police said he was a victim
of a hit-and-run motorist but it
was reported there was a wound
across his throat that might have
been made with a knife.
Gaffney was a notorious char
acter in his day. In his youth
his escapades shook the police de-
partment to it's foundations and
caused a rift between the police
commissioner and the district at
torney.
He served II years in Sing
Sing, Auburn and Clinton prisons
for manslaughter, the result of
Staying Chuck Tucker in Hell'S
Kitchen on March 81, 1918.
Gaffney was released in Octo-
ber, 1929, and few weeks later
married his childhood sweetheart.
The prison term Sobered his
errant ways and he reformed and
settled down to a respectable life
with his wife. Six months ago
he became father of a child.

DEPUTIES BACK
BRAND VOTE,
430 To 52
Vote of Confidence Means
Veteran Statesman Can Be
Next President of Republic

PARIS, May 9 ON.SO.-All
doubts as to the fitness of M.
AriStide BRAND for the post of
President of France we're swept
away today by his conclusive vic
tory in the chamber of deputies,
which, by a vote of 430 to So,
expressed it's confidence in his
entire foreign policy.
The vote of confidence, climax
ing two days of heated debate,
means that M. BRAND will go
to Geneva next week to launch
his battle against the projected
AuStrO- German customs union.
Whether he will go as foreign
minister or as president-elect of
the French Republic is largely a
matter Of his own choosing.
Despite the fact that his friends
and associates insist he will be
a candidate when the national
assembly elects a successor to
President CASTOR Doumergue on
Wednesday, BRAND thus far has
maintained an enigmatic silence.
Wants To Keep Reins
According to reliable informa-
ton, BRAND has withheld def
mite announcement of his can
didacy in an effort to determine
first whether his election to the
presidency would mean loss of his
control over Frances foreign pol
icieS.
Tradition demands that the
French President must maintain
a strictly neutral" attitude, but
BRAND is loath to sacrifice the
leadership he has held at the
Quai D'Orsay for the last five
years.
AS for months he has been a

date for the presidency, his
sweeping victory in the chamber
would indicate that France is
willing to accept him as guiding
genius Of Frances foreign poll
cieS either as President or foreign
minister.
Condemned the AnschIuss
BRAND won his way to victory
in the chamber on platform
combining international co-opera-
tion and condemnation of can
SchluSs"-the political and econ
omy union of Austria and Ger
many which is such a thorn
in the side of France.
