Mexico Announcing Air
Line Here With Stamps
:
Advertising the Mexico City
Brownsvillu air mail service to be
established February 23, the Mexi
can postal officials are now stamp
ing on air mail the announcement
the 24-hour service between the
Mexican capital and New York will
soon be established.
The first letter bearing the
stamped announeemiut of the Mex
ican postal officials was received
here Friday. On the obverse side
of tke envelope, which boro a Mexi
can air mail stamp, was stamped
the following in Spanish:
-MEXICO AND NEW YORK
Communication in 24 Hour*
by Air Service Route
MEXICO-MAT AMOROS
The letter bore the regular 10
centavo stamp, a 25-centavo air mail
stamp, and tha official green, white
end red “Cerreo A*r*o¥' sump ef
the Mexican air mail.
The stamp indicates that tha Mex
ican postal officials have designated
the Tamplco-Brownsville route aa
the official route for air mail des
tined for New York City and all in
termediate points.
Th* Laredo Chamber of Com
merce had reported Wednesday that
the Laredo route was to be main
tained and that the Brownsville
rente was to be in the nature of a
secondary route for the Mexican air
mail. The stamp ef th* Mexican
postal officials is considered aa
conclusive that tha Brownsville
route will be placed in premier po
sition in handling air mail from th*
Mexican capital.
?tne time Siiloway made his
announcement.
Called Ridiculous
Captain James Gleason, Stege’s as
sistant, however, said it was ridicu
lous to suppose police were involved
in the murders. A visored cap was
picked up in the garage, he said, but
it was that of a doorman. Policemen,
he said, would never have marched
men out of the garage with their
hands over their heads, unarmed, aa
witnesses described the exit of yes
terday.
"i nose men were gangsters, mas
querading as effictrs," ha declared
emphatically. “The only thing Frank
uuesenberg, who died in the Hospital
later, would say was that two of the
men were wearing uniform*. So that
has given the impression policemen
were involved.”
Major Siiloway expressed the be
lief that the killings yesterday war*
the direct outgrowth of a hijacking
job here six weeks ago when boo
cases of whiskey were taken from the
Moran gang by a West Side liquor
running outfit.
Charge Retaliation
Major Siiloway said ha did not be
lieve the theft of the liquor by on*
taction from tha other could have
been carried out in broad daylight
on a well traveled boulevard without
police assistance. The Moran gang,
ne said, apparently got the same idee
and cut otf tribute that the prold
tion officers said the gang had paid
the police.
Major Siiloway said he believed
the killings were in retaliation fog
stopping tha protection money and
declared he expected to gain infor
mation as to the actual killers.
Me said soma of tha killers word
police uniforms, that an automobile
resembling a police squad car with a
gong on the side was used by them
and that the stayers evidently were
well known to the Moran gang aa
they were admitted without question. !
Commissioner Russell characteris
ed Major Silioway’e theory and state
ment as “all rot” but added “no
matter who did it 1 am out to get
them and clean this rase up.” He
was attending a coroner’s inquest
when he msde the statement.
Probe Started
Meanwhile the inquisitorial agen
cies of the government, state, county
and city were coordinated in aa ex
tensive manhunt, the principal end
of which appeared to be the arreet
of every man with whom the gang
sters had been teen, while scores of
suspects wera rounded up. the po
lice did not find the men they
sought. Those most wanted were
Moran himself and three of his lieu
tenants, Ted Newberry, David Aldar
man and Frank Foeter.
If police are able to find these
four they said they were confident
the killers could be named by them.
