'LECS' DIAMOND SHOT AND KILLED
 RIVAL GANCSTERs
THREE BULLETS IN HEAD ENDS CAREER OF ONE OF U. s.
 PUBLIC ENEMIES"

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec, 19, P)- Jack Legs" Diamond, racketeer, was shot and killed apparently by rival gangsters after party eel ebrating his acquittal on kid mapping charge In connection with the disappearance of James Dun can, a 2O-year old farm boy.
 Two unidentified men burst in to Diamonds hotel room and fir ed three pistol bullets into Dia- mond's head at close range.
 Mrs. Wood, owner of the hotel, and Diamonds wife, were detain- ed by the police. All members of the party had fled when the po- lice arrived.
 At the police station Mrs. Dia- mond sobbed mildly, while smok- ing cigarettes necessarily. I did- mt do it. I don't know anything about it," she said.
 Mrs. Wood Is reported to have told officers that Diamond had gone out but returned in to the hotel In an automobile, the same in which his body was taken away a few minutes later. She heard three shots then the sound of men rushing to the front stairs where they paused second. She heard one say: "Oh H., that's enough" :" the napparently ran departing in a car which had been waiting.
 It was rumored that the first information the police had of the killing was from gangster calls from Chicago asking if Diamond had been rubbed out?"
 One shot entered the base of the skull, the other two on one side of his head near the ear.
 It is believed that he was seized when he reentered his room and shot as he struggled.
 Legs" Diamond died broke and his widow looked to his pals for funds to bury him. Albany police notified Boston, where she is To- cated, to hold Marion "Kiki" Rob- erts for questioning. She denied knowing anything about the slay- ing.
