The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-24

by way of attracting attention, the barbers and their patrons fell be- hind chairs, but Krompter and Gold stood rooted to the floor. In- stantly, the pistol crashed five bul- lets into their chests and ston1achs.
 Like his colleagues across the river in Newark, Krompier re- fused to talk. He too, was given g blood transmission and was not ex- pected to live.
 Leaders Eliminated
 Thus in one night and with two shootings, the enemies of the Schultz gang eliminated, at least for a while, its two ranking mas ter minds" and two of it's chief muscle men, and rubbed out per- manently one of its gunmen.
 Police had no doubt but what the inspiration for the shootings came from the same source and they felt reasonably sure that there was 8 definite connection between them and the series of killings that followed the strange disap- pear of Schultz's mobster, Wein- berg, several months ago.
 Weinberg disappeared without a trace. Word passed through the un- derworld that he had been rubbed out and his body disposed of in such a way that 1t would never be found. Close /to the boss, police assumed Schultz would know who had been responsible for his dis appearance and would take appro- priate steps.
 In the tough Brownsville section of Brooklyn, Joe Amberg, brother of the celebrated Lyman (Hymie The Ra0 Amberg, who killed him. self after an unsuccessful effort to break out of the Tombs in 1927, pulled his mob to the top and be- gan talking of expansion in Schultz's territory, the Bronx and the Manhattan theatrical district. Schultz served warning and soon afterward Weinberg disappeared. Other Assassinati
 Joe and his chauffeur, Morris Kessler, were assassinated Sept. 30. "Little Frankie" Teitelbaum, an Amberg colleague, was assassinated a week later. Early yesterday morn ing the body of Pretty" Amberg was found in 8 burning autono- bile. It was bound and there were eight wounds, made by an axe, in the head. Then, some 20 hours la- ter, which might be a coincidence, enemies opened up on the Schultz gang. Police today sought the sur- viving members of the Amberg gang but could find none.
 Police had no doubt but that the wild boy, Stern, had a hand in some of the killings. Until he was tentatively identified as the assas- sin who stood in the barber shop door last night, they had felt he !. had been an employe of the Schultz mob and had killed the Amberg brothers and Teitelbaum and four other men whom he was afraid might "stoop on him for the mur- der of a policeman a year and a half ago. The Identification made his role less clear, but every re- source of the department was put into the hunt for him.
