 Diamond Clues
(Continued from Page 1.)

In addition to these clews there | Is a labyrinth of trails which po- lice will try to follow. The victim of four previous shootings, Dia- mond had many enemies, police declare, who would have been glad to see him dead.
 Some of his more important enemies police mentioned were Dutch Schultz, Bronz beer runner; Giro Terranova, active in the malt industry in Albany, Rensselaer, and Green counties and the Spitalli brothers, Guy and Salvatore.
 District Attorney Delaney sum- med up his opinion of the killing with the terse phrase: "the whole thing is just gangster stuff, one gangster trying to kill another"
 Detectives declared that there had been no struggle In the room before Diamond was shot. Every thing was in an undisturbed state which led them to believe the gangster was shot in his sleep, or that two men participated in the killing, one holding Diamond while the other fired three bullets into his head.
 investigation revealed that Dia- mond had lived with Miss Roberts for the last few months in several places around Albany. Police also learned that Paul Quatrocchi, sem fenced with Legs fin federal court in New York, had been living quiet ly at Catskill since his conviction, waiting 0 decision on his appeal.
 Prosecutor Delaney in patching together events leading up to the slaying learned that Diamond, his wife and his sister-in- law, Mrs Ed ward Diamond had engaged three rooms in the house of death ten days ago. They represented them- selves as MT and Mrs Kelly to Mrs Laura Wood, keeper. Mrs Wood did not learn the identity of her lodgers until she compared Dia- mond with pictures in the news- papers in connection with his trial In Troy. She said her 1odgers were quiet and she had no cause for com mplaint.
 Early yesterday morning Mrs Wood heard Diamond enter her house and go to his room. Then she dozed off, she said, and was awakened by shots. She heard the rush of feet on the stairs. The assassins were holding to the bal ustrade as they ran down. Mrs Wood waited until she heard the bang, then she ran to a window She said she saw a mans hand shutting the door of O maroon se- dan.
 Mrs Wood called 0 number Mrs Diamond had given her in case of an emergency. This accounted for the fact that the gangster's wife his physician, Dr Thomas Holmes and other intimates found the body before police were notified. Save for these facts and fur ther information which may be obtained from the tangible clews and whatever information Miss Roberts may give when she is found and questioned, Albany po- lice admitted to-day they were fac- ing the traditional silence follow ing an underworld killing.
 Meanwhile the bullet-scarred body of the gangster was sent to New York for burial. An autopsy was said to have revealed fourteen bullet marks on Diamond. includ- ing the three which caused his death.
 Mrs Diamond indicated the body of her husband would be buried in Maspeth Calvary cemetery, Mon- day after funeral services in New York City.
 While the body lay in the morgue here, a police cordon was necessary to prevent a milling mob of spectators mostly women. from literally crashing the funeral homes plate glass windows.
