"amicable conference" for settlement of
underworld differences over liquor SELL
ing rights conference which ended
in typical gsngland assassination.
Levine told his inquisitorS numerous
conflicting stories during hours of
questioning last night. The one police
were inclined to believe was that at
the busy intersection of Grand Boule-
ward and Third street three or four
men boarded the car, flashed guns, told
him to get out and drove away.
The scene next shifted to the apart
ment house at 1740 Collingwood avenue,
in the heart of quiet residential dis
trict, where is pistol shots were heard
and four men raced down a rear stair
way to an automobile waiting in the
alley.

gang, who, police say, conducted
fiourishing wholesale liquor business
without regard for district boundaries
established by powerful underworld IN
terests. 1t was this defiance OF gang
lands regulations that brought death
to them, police believe.

ture in mass murder by secreting their
pistols in a can of paint, left sitting
casually under the sink in the apart

The apartment, at the rear of the
building, and on the second floor, was
rented September by James Regis.
It had not been occupied Although the
caretaker, Frank Holt, tentatively iden-
titled one of the dead men as Regis"
shortly after the shootings, police in

STOCK TO MAKE
 ITSRADIO DEBUT
"Ten-Twent'- t'-Thirt" Vari- ety to Be Heard Every
 Saturday Night

The famous "ten-twent' -thirt' |" stock company, popularized by Corse Payton quarter of a cen- tury ago, will make its radio debut over an NBC-WJZ network to- night from S:00 to 8:30 o'clock, E. D. T. The productions will be under the personal direction of Payton.
 The players will present "The Streets of New York" by Don Boucicault, a nineteenth century playwright, in the first broadcast and will continue to present play each Saturday at the same time. Eleanor Shaler. singer of ballads, will appear with the company.
 Payton comes to the NEG stu dios directly from the old Lee street theater in East Brooklyn, where the residents have long iden- tified his show with typical side show barker, who gives no small show himself before each regular performance inside. The ten tyent'-thirt' phrase originated from the price scale-thirty cents for the orchestral seats, twenty for the balcony and ten for the peanut gallery. And Payton made it pay.
