Inspector McClusky Confident that the
Murderers of the Man Found in a
Barrel Are Aujpng the Suspects
Gathered tnpy His Detectives
> n wT > V ro
II am satisfied that three of the twelve men arrested last night on
suspicion of knowing something of the eastside barrel murder mystery
will be held for the crime said Inspector McClusky late this afternoon
He refused to name the three men but intimated that probably nearly all
the rest of the suspects would be released by night
Secret Service men have been trailing the dozen under arrest Jot
months suspecting them to be members of a gang of counterfeiters
When it came to arresting them there was little difficulty because the
Secret Service operatives knew their haunts One man particularly de
sired has thus far eluded the detectives
Papers and letters seized in the rooms of the men under suspicion
have been turnethpver by the Secret Service men to the Central Office de
tectives and are being eamined carefully by skilled men The outcome
of the case against the three men spoken of by Inspector McClusky de
pends largely upon what knowledge may be gained from these papers
The swarthy dozen vero arraigned before Magistrate Barlow In Jelter
Eon Market Court today All denied knowledge of English
Capt Becker of Union Market station made a short affidavit on
which they were hold until Saturday morning when there will be a for
ma examination >
Therq la court rule providing that prisoners hold on short affidavits
have the choice of remaining In the court prison or going back to Head
quarters With fervent unanimity the prisoners made known that they de
sired to remain at the Jefferson Market Prison But the Magistrate after
a consultatlon with Capt Becker would not permit It For police reasons
heordnrei the suspected raurderero to be taken back to Headquarters
MAN ATTEMPTS TO STAB A PRISONER
News of tho arreits spread through the Italian colony and caused tre
mendous excitement There was a mob of 2000 jabbering Italians banked
about Police Headquarters when the prisoners ware brought out to bo taken
to court Apparently It was a hostile gathering An old man with a stiletto
in his hand tried to climb Into a patroj wagon with the evident intention of
klillngono of the prisoners Before tho pollco could get to him he was
dragged down into Jhq crowd
SecretService operatives assert that they saw the unidentified victim
In tho company of aorrio of the men under arrest In a butcher shop at No 16
Stanton street a tow hoursbefore the unknown man was murdered
SecretService men Henry llltcblo and George E Burns who watched
the meeting In the butcher shop went to the Morgue and identified the
murdered man us the newcomer they had Seen at No 16 Stanton street
on Monday night
Tho dead man was thought be Vlto Laduco reputed proprietor of the
butcher shop until two wejks ago when ho disappeared He was saId to
have answered tho murdered mans deacrlptlonEarly today reporters lo
cated Laduco In tho tenement at No 15 Stanton street opposite the shop
lie proved to be only an employee anti Is now working in a shop in Eatt
Fortyeighth street
The butcher store was owned up to two wcks ago by Giovanni Zar
cone who claimed today bebad sold It to a Brooklyn man whose name la
the game as his
AII WFJtB HEAVILY ARMED
I AH of the prisoners were heavilY armed and resisted arrest desperately
until force was used to subdue them They were gathered In In three bands
by as many squads of detectives and so cleverly was tho work done that only
fifteen mlnutea elapsed bstraith the arrival of the first and last squad of
prisoner to Headquarters
Inspector McClueky said earlier in tho day
Credit for the quick solution of this mystery must be given to the splen
did system of surveillance kept up by Uio United States Secret Service
operatives Aft r the murder of Joseph Catania in Brooklyn last summer

APPOINTMENT OF MORGAN
ALBANY N Y April lOGov Udell
hu sent to the deroo the name ot
George W Morgan at present an assist
ant District Attorney of New YorK
County to succeed John McCuilagh as
Superintendent of Elections
I
The nomination of Mr ilarcon to
succeed McCullach l > the outcome or I
the feeling existing between Platt and
Odfll This feeling was Intensified ana
the reappointment ot McCullach made
a political Impassibility after the Qulgg
DobljnLeisler affair In connection with
the alleged bribery and lobbying for I
Holland torpedo boats before the Naval
Committee of the House of Reoresen
tatlvei
The practical removal of McCullag
as Superintendent of Elections has been
forecasted many times but I the men In
the Platt camp always have Insisted
that the Senator would be able to Induce
the Governor either to reappolnt McCul
lagh or permit him to be a holdover
The Governor friends because of Me
Cullaghs mixing In primary fights with
In the party and his known allegiance
to Platt have Insisted that some one
with n more judicial temperament be
placed In charge of the Bureau
CoTcrnor Act Suddenly
The rom < nal of MoCullnfrh was almost
as sudden as when he was removed
fron the omca ot Chief of Police by
Mayor Van Wyok and Devery was ap
pointed In his stead There was no In
tlmatlon that such a thing was going
to happen at that time and It was not
until the morning when he was actually
ordered to resign by Van Wyck or l >
forces out that It was known except In
the Inner circles that such a step was
contemplated
Things have been going so smoothly
19 far as McCullach was concerned that I
even same of those close to the Governor
were led to believe last week that there
had been a truce that perhaps after all
the Governor had consented to keep
McCullaxh In office as Platt It was
known WAS Insistent and Qulgg and
Cltbbs and other leaders close to MoCul
Ingh had been urging his reappoint
ment on the ground that to replace him
would cauie a spill In the party locally
IMvmled fur lcVuIlDKIt
They pointed out to the Governor that
McCullagh hurt really done nothing In
the Interest of the Holland Hoot Com
puny lhntwas Illezal and should bo re
appointed If for no other reason than
to glue tn him a clean bill of health In

Is conjecture One thing Is knows
I The Governor did not take kindly to
I the Senator yaylns recently to rcpr

I Governor would not take a renbmination
I Ir It were offered to him on a silver
platter This too when the Senator

I I do not know Mr Morgan al4
I Senator Platt when iskol about the
I appointment c n
I Morgan Morgan said the Seas
I tor and he ran his hand over his chin
Xo I never heanl of him
The Senator seemed a bit confused
As to the news of the appointment It
hail already been conveyed to the Sen
ator He had received It over the long
distance private wire from Albany and
the shock had been a severe one
Hy the time he was seen by an Even
lax WorM reporter he had taken a srlj
on his feelings and was prepared < to
announce he had nothing to say Inre
gar to the appointment r
flalntment
What he really said when he heard
the news Is a secret between the Sen
aCt r and the man at the other endot
the wire It was very evident from
the appearance on the race of the Sen
ator that It was what Frank Platt
might aptly term The blow that Bear
killed father
When an Evening World reporter
called on aupt McCullagh with the new
of air Morgans appointment there waa
a dramatic scene tl1erej
