NEW YORK, June 13.-The trail of
a murder mob hunted for a dozen re-
cent homicides was freshly red today
with the blood of a triple Staying.
The bodies were found late last night
in a $6-a-week fiat of an East Sixty
fifth street tenement Each had been
stabbed in the chest. The death weapon
was an ice pick. Part of it was found,
broken off in the temple of one Of the
victims.
Identifications were made by finger
print records. The dead men, known to
police as petty racketeers, were Charles
Cabrese, Salvador Tulumello and Louis
Sally.
All three were expensively and
f1ashily dressed. in sharp contrast to
the plainness of the fiat. They had
been dead probably since Saturday.
They must have been murdered, police
said, not many hours after the Staying
of three other gangsters last Friday.
The manner of their death was similar
in some respects to several others of
recent weeks.
Bodies Were Bound.
Each had been trussed and gagged.
Adhesive tape sealed shut their mouths
and eyes. 1t was thus-gagged, trussed
and blindfolded-that they met DEATH
unable to see the arms lifted against
them, and unable to defend themselves
even if they had.
The three bodies were found in the
bed room of the fiat. One body was
on the bed, another on couch and the
third was on the floor. The janitor of
the building came upon the bodies last
night while Investigating a strange
odor of which other tenants had COM
planned.
There was a theory that the triple
murders were sequel to the Decora-
ton day massacre" in a First street
cafe, when, six men were lined up
against wall by four killers and shot
down. Two men were killed in that
attack, the others escaping with wounds
Police thought also that the murders
may have been the result of the gang
war btween Dutch" Schultz and
"Waxey" Gordon, rival barons of beer
in the metropolitan area In the group
of murder victims in late weeks have
been the names of several men asso-
ciated by police with the Gordon clique
So far as police could say, no Schultz
gang member has lost his life in the
present feud. There have been some who
believed that coolly planned plot con-
templated the determination of the
Gordon mob to the last man. Gordon
himself is out of Jail on heavy bail
and Schultz is a fugitive. Both are
wanted for income tax law violations.
Many Gangsters Slain.
The first indication of revival of
gang murder in the metropolitan area
following the advent of 80 beer was
April II, when Max Hassel and Max
Greenberg-Gordon men-were shot
dead in an Elizabeth, N j., hotel
There was lull until May /, when
murder broke out in earnest. Michael
Nevin was slain in Queens This was
followed by gang Staying in Sussex,
N. j., and another in Brooklyn. On
May 26 John Friscia was killed in
Brooklyn. and four days later the body
of Joseph Trop was tossed from an
automobile in Manhattan.
Charles Brady (the "Duke'D, who was
Gordon's beer distributor in PaSsaic,
N. j., was next to die. He was cut down
by shots from an automobile in Passaic
June 2. On that same night Abe burst,
well known as beer figure, was taken
for a death ride in the Bronx
Joe Odierna died by bullets the next
day in upper Manhattan, while in Pat
erson, N. j., big Bill" Oppenheim was
shot dead on his very doorstep.
Last Friday three more died-Albert
Goldfeeder, in Newark, N j., suburb,
and Max Parkin and Marcel Poffo,
whose bodies were found beside the road
near Harrison, N. Y.
Legalization of 80 beer has had a
serious effect upon beer runners, most
speakeasies having thrown out beer al
together under the State Beer Boards S
edict that beer and hard liquors must
not mix.
