mail who was shot to death Tnursday
night in front of the parochial hall of
the Church of the Holy Family in
Brooklyn, ?a- a gangster whosi
had been forfeited for "squealing" on
his pals.
This is the ?hetry adopted by Brook?
lyn police who have bei n Investigating
the murder. A handkerchief fou na
near the spot where Curran was shot
has led the police to believe that a
paru to the crime was a young woman
known to be on intimate terms with
,.i:c of Curran'a enemies. Detectives
are now searching for the girl, who
has not been home, since the murder
took place.
An investigation of the special po?
liceman's record showed that he had
figured in several shooting.- ami -tab
bings. He senred a term In 1907 at
