WHITE SLAVE TRAFFICKERS
' ALLEGED LEADER OF GANG (United Press Assnciat.ion—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, 30tlx January. The “Daily Mail” says that the death of' Max Kassel (whose bullet-riddled body was found under a hedge outside St. Alban’s last week) has exposed him as the leader of an international gang of white slave traffickers whose ramifications extend from Mayfair to the Continent, Australia and Canada, and as a marriage broker who installed girls ho imported in luxurious West End flats. It is learned that under another name lie served a sentence of eight months’ imprisonment in France in connection with the transportation of a girl to Brazil. It is certain that his death is the climax to a vendetta or gang feud. London police are working on the theory that lie was “put on the spot” because he knew too much about rival gangs, and was about to “squeal” to the police.
