Elmer L Irey, Who Helped Trap
Capone and Hauptmann, Dies
Heart Attack Fatal
To Retired Official
Of Treasury
Elmer L. Irey, whose 40 years in
the Government service included a
key part in solving the Lindbergh
baby murder and in trapping A1
Capone and other public enemies
for tax evasion, died yesterday at
his summer home in Shady Side,
Md.
The funeral will be in Washington
but arrangements have not been
completed, members of his family
said.
Mr. Irey, who was 60, retired
August 31, 1946, as chief co-ordina
tor of the Treasury Department’s
law enforcement agencies. He
maintained an office as a tax con
sultant in the Shoreham building
and recently finished writing a
a book "The Tax Dodgers.’’
He became ill about a week ago
and died of a heart attack at t>:o0
P.M. yesterday. For the last several
years in Washington he lived at the
Shoreham hotel.
A native of Kansas City, Mo., Mr.
Irey came here as a boy. After grad
uation from the old Business High
School in 1906 he started his long
Government career as a stenogra
pher in the chief postal inspector's
office. He was a post office inspector
from 1917 to 1919 and then trans
ferred to the Internal Revenue Bu
reau.
When he established the bureau's
intelligence unit in 1919 it had only
five employes. When he retired two
years ago he had more than 1,300
trained investigators under his di
rection. In 1942 he was appointed
chief co-ordinator of all the Treas
ury Department's enforcement
agencies such as the Secret Service,
customs, narcotic and alcoholic tax
units.
Besides being the nemesis of A1
Capone, “Waxey" Gordon, "Dutch”
Schultz and other prohibition era
garig leaders whom he helped send
to jail on tax dodging charges, Mr.
Irey made a major contribution to
the capture of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann for the kidnap-murder
of the infant son of Charles A.
Lindbergh.
At his suggestion, gold certificates
were placed in the ransom money.
This was major evidence that led to
the conviction and execution of
Hauptmann.
He also was active in tax investi
gation involving members of the
Huey Long organization in Louisi
ana and the Pendergast political
machine in Missouri.
When the United States entered
World War II Mr. Irey’s duties be
came even more extensive. Despite
a heart condition that developed
several years ago he refused to leave
his post. Shortly before his retire
ment he suffered a heart attack.
War Activity Recalled.
During the war one of his prin
cipal responsibilities was to see that
all enemy alien business and finan
cial establishments in the United
States were not only ‘'frozen” but
thoroughly guarded.
For his work he was commended
many times by officials in the ad
i ministration and in Congress. For
■ mer Secretary of the Treasury Mor- j
' genthau cited him for outstanding
i performance. Former Chairman
j Cochran of the old House Commit
: tee on Accounts declared several
years ago that Mr. Irey ‘‘brought j
into the Treasury, on an average,
30 times as much additional revenue
' annually as it costs to operate his
1 division.” . ‘ .': '
While such names as A1 Capone
i and “Waxey” Gordon got the big
I gest headlines when finally put into
i prison, there were other tax-evasion
cases in which Mr, Irey and his as
sociates brought the Government
much larger sums of money.
Took Law Course.
In the course of his career he
became well acquainted with Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, then young
prosecutor beginning a career that
led to the governorship of New York
and nominations for the presidency.
Notwithstanding h i s arduous
duties which required long hours
and considerable travel, he found
time to study law at Georgetown
University Law School. He had
many tempting offers to go to Hol
lywood both to write and take part
in movie productions. While he
Joseph Thomas Martin,
Treasury Auditor, Dies
| Joseph Thomas Martin, 54, an
auditor in the Treasury Department
for 15 years, died yesterday at the
Bethesda Naval Hospital. He had
been in failing health a year.
Mr. Martin, a native of Atlantic
Highlands, N. J., had lived at 5061
First street N.W. for many years.
He came to Washington in World
War I for Army duty in the Office
of the Adjutant General.
After his release from the Army,
Mr. Martin worked in various hotel
positions here until going with the
Treasury.
Twenty-eight years ago Mr. Mar
tin married the former Mary C.
Buscher of Washington, who sur
vives. He also leaves a daughter,
Mrs. Dolores Means, and a grand
son, Michael Means of Greenbelt,
Md., and a sister, Mrs. Fred W.
Murphy of West Hartford, Conn.
Prayers at the Chambers Funeral
Home, 1400 Chapin street N.W., at
9:30 a.m. Thursday will be fol
lowed by requiem mass at 10 a.m.

Polar Bear Slays on Land
MOSCOW (JP).—A rare case of a
Polar bear leaving the sea and at-;
tacking beasts on land has been re- j
ported by ‘‘Dawn of the East.” The'
attack took place recently in the j
tundra of the Khatangzky region I
where a polar bear attacked a herd
of reindeer, slaying four young deer
before a hunter killed the bear.:
“Hunters,” said a message, ‘‘know,
of only one such other event during
their lifetime.” j

favored motion pictures, based on
Treasury investigations, he never
accepted any of the offers for a
full-time Hollywood career.
He did have a: “prologue spot."
however, in the picture "T-Man,”
and was a technical advisor.
Although suffering from a dia
betic as well as heart condition,
Mr. Irey was almost as busy as
ever after his retirement. Besides
writing his book, to be published in
October, he supervised a wjekly
radio program.
Work Was His Hobby.
Recently, when asked if he had
any hobbies, he replied: “My work
has been my hobby.”
Less than two weeks ago. in what
was his last formal newspaper in
terview. he told an Evening Star
reporter that he saw no need to
dramatize the Vole he played in
master-mining the extermination of
'•ome of the country's most notori
ous public enemies.
“It was a question of selecting the
right man for the particular job,”
he said.
Mr. Irey's cases were so big that
he had difficulty in listing the big
gest he ever handled. He recalled
that the Moe Annenberg investiga
tion in Philadelphia required the
most work. His operatives had to
plow through records of 86 corpora
tions to find evidence to trap the
racing-information publisher.
Investigator Was Slain.
Often, especially in the A1 Capone
period, Mr. Irey bore the added
burden of worry for the personal
I safety of his field operatives. At
least one of his Investigators was
murdered and numerous threats and
attempted bribes were reported.
Despite his failing health in re
cent years, Mr. Irey had a robust
appearance and genial disposition.
He kept in touch with his former
Treasury Department associates and
he always said his forthcoming book
is as much their story as his.
He belonged to Harmony Lodge
No. 17, P. A. A. M„ and was a 33d
degree Mason. He also belonged to
the National Press Club and was
a communicant of St. Stephen’s
Lutheran Church here.
Surviving Mr. Irey are his widow,
Mrs. Marguerite Wagner Irey, whom
he married in 1912, and two sons,
Dr. Hugh W. Irey of Avondale, Md.,
and Dr. Robert B. Irey of Washing
ton. Two brothers and two sisters
also surviye him. They are Edwin
S. Irey of Arlington, Va„ and Hugh
C. Irey of Honolulu, Hawaii; Mrs.
Mattie V. Whitney of Hyatts vine,
Md., and Mrs. George EL> Purmage
of Washington.,.
Funeral Rifes Sef Thursday
For Brothers Who Drownec
! Funeral services for two Alexan
dria brothers who drowned Sunday
:in Hunting Creek will be held at I
p.m. at the Ebenezer Baptist Church
in Alexandria.
The body of the youngest victim
Theodore Exzell Watkins, 8, floated
to the surface of Hunting Creek
late yesterday while members of
the Alexandria Rescue Squad were
still dragging for it. The rescue
squad had recovered the body of
Benjamin, jr., 10. earlier yesterday.
The boys were colored.
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Watkins,
parents of the boys, said their sons
apparently had gone to Hunting
Creek Sunday to experiment with
some war surplus gas masks which
they thought would enable them to
breathe under water. Benjamin was
reported to have leaped into the
creek in an effort to save his young
er brother, who was swept into deep
water by the current. Neither
could swim.
John W. Farran Dies;
Storage Firm Owner
John Walter Farran, 74. sole own
er and for 36 years proprietor of
the Farran Transfer Storage Co.
here, died yesterday at Sibley Hos
pital after an illness of two weeks.
Founder of the firm in 1912, Mr.
Farran supervised its rtlhning until
he became ill. Prior to opening the
business, he had worked as a black
smith for many years.
Mr. Farran was a native of St.
Mary's, Md., and was the son of
John W. and Mary Farran. He
came to Washington with his par
ents when he was a boy and was
educated here.
Until moving to his home at 7621
Thirteenth street N.E. 15 years ago,
Mr. Farran lived with his family
at 335 Maryland avenue N.E. His
wife, Mrs. Anna Germock Farran,
died 14 years ago.
Unusually sport-minded in his
later years, Mr. Farran bowled regu
larly every Friday night and played
golf three times a week until his
illness.
He was a 32d degree Mason in
Harmony Lodge here and a life
member of its Eureka Naval Chapter,
as well as a Shriner and a member
of the Board of Trade and the
Manor Club.
Mr. Farran is survived by two

: MacDonald, who released the body
■ directly from the residence to th#
funeral home.
Fear of another war, in which his
25-year-old son, Alexander Paul
Hare, jr„ might be called to duty,
was said to be the reason for Mr.
Hare taking his life. His son is a
veteran of World War II who has
just completed postgraduate studies
at Iowa State University.
In addition to his son, who was
reported en route here from the
university for the funeral, Mr. Hare
