THREE YEAR HUNT
 HAS BEEN ENDED
(Continued from Page 1.)


 
 the following were involved in the abduction. Arthur (Doc) Barker, now in Alctraz prison; Elmer Farmer, now in Leavenworth peni- tentiary; Bryan Bolton, now in jail in St. Paul; Fred 0. Goetz, known as Shotgun ziegler," now dead; Fred Barker, brother of Arthur, now dead. Alvin Karpis, public enemy No. 1, at large. The Hamm Kidnapping case was one of the most sensational in a series of abductions dating from the Lindbergh crime and drawing the federal agents into a nation wide drive to stamp out the racket.
 Karpis once escaped the agents by a hairs-breadth when he shot his way out of an Atlantic City l, hotel.
 Later, agents arrested Doc" Barker and held him in Chicago and later closed in on Fred Barker in Florida.
 Killed in Battle
 In a machine gun battle with the outlaws who were hiding out in an isolated house, Fred Barker and his mother, known to gang sters as Ma" Barker, were killed. The agents said they found a smok- ing machine gun in the dead wom- ans hands when they finally rushed the house.
 The new arrests were made yes- terday on secret warrants issued to federal agents April II.
 Hoover said Hamm was held in Bartholomey's residence at Bensen- vile during the four days of his confinement. Hamm recently iden- tified the place, Hoover added. Was Listed "UnsOlved"
 The kidnapping was one of the few major cases which had been listed on FBI books as "unsolved". The Kidnapping of Mrs. Alice Stoll in Louisville in 1894 also is listed as "unsolved", but 1t has definitely been established that the Kidnapping was carried out by Thomas H. Rob- inson, Jr., who has successfully evaded law enforcement officers for nearly two years.
 Hamm was abducted shortly after noon on June IS, l033, as he left his office for luncheon.
 Taken To HideOut
 He was taken to the Bensenville hideout, held there until June 10, and then released at q point near Wyoming. Minn.. after an inter- mediary had made the ransom payments.
 Hoover called reporters lunexpect- edly Co his office this morning Co announce solution of the case and detailed activities of federal agents in solving the case.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, April 18-(UP)-Business on domestic wools in Boston tended to broaden during the past week, the U. 8. Agriculture department reported today.
 Most of the trade was in fine wools including neeces, Texas and California lines. A little medium heeces wool was moved. While prices of greasy wools were slightly lower than norinal quotations of the pre- vious week, the undertone of the market showed a tendency to iln- prove. Quotations on strictly comb ing Ohio heeces, traded in Boston, ranged 33-35 cents in the grease on fine of average shrinkage, 34-36 cents on 1-2 blood, and 35-3T cents on 3-S and IA blood grades.

LOCAL LAWYERS
 STUDYING ACTION
Litigation Over Back Rent Starts in New Britain
 Landlords Interested

Waterbury lawyers have begun delving into a problem brought up in New Britain this week when, de- lending a tenant who was being sued for back rent, Attorney Monroe s. Gordon claimed that when a ten- ement house is erected the owner must secure a tenement house cer- tificate, or he cannot collect rent from those using the premises.
 New Britain landlords are now a bit scary and are seeking to find out the technical points of the statute, which was passed by the general assembly in 1918. The question has already come up for discussion by the New Britain Bar association.
 The statutes which apparently cover the point are nubmers 2592 and 2593. The first requires that a tenement house certificate be se- cured within 10 days after a build ing that will house three or more families is erected. The next de- clares htat there can be no recovery of rent due when the previous statute has been violated and holdsc that mo action can be maintained therefor"
 Waterbury has several thousands of buildings which would come un- der the tenement house classifica- ton as set by the statutes.
 Blank forms to be filled out in securing the tenement house certi- ficates are available at the building inspectors office here, but 1t is questionable that many property owners have ever bothered to i'll one out and file it with the proper authorities.
 Apparently, as the law stands, a tenant who is behind in his rent now need only investigate to find out whether his landlord has a tenement house certificate. If he has not, 1t would seem, the tenant can fefuse to pay the back rent.
