NEW YORK GANGSTERS

ANOTHER CALLOUS MURDER. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] NEW YORK, December 12. Another atrocious gangster killing occurred in the metropolitan area today, the murdered man’s sweetheart witnessing the crime. Two men arrived in the woman’s apartment, where they bound and gagged her, and also a visitor, who had' come to close a deal with her lover, Sam Maudel, who as an alcohol runner has been notorious. The assasins waited patiently for the woman’s brother to arrive, and him too, they bound and laid on the floor. Then further footsteps were heard outside the door. These the woman, apparently, recognised, as Maudel’s. She kicked the door, near which she was lying, and Maudel, growing suspicious, fled downstairs. The assassins went after Maudel, and riddled his body with bullets as he reached the street. They then escaped. The police found the woman, who, after the shooting, had somehow succeeded in loosening her cords. She was standing and screaming hysterically beside the corpse.
