TORN PETTICOAT
15 SLAYING CLEW
Chicago Police Think the Gang
Held for Diamond Broker's
Death Are Auto Bandits.
CHICAGO. Dee. 21. -A woman's pei
tleoat, with a torn flounce, promises to
aid the police in the solution of the
mysterious murder of Joseph H. Logue,
diamond broker, who was mutilated
and slain in his office yesterday after
noon. Today, after arresting eight per
sons, four men and four women, the
j police found one of the most astound
ing collections of loot and burglars’
tools ever discovered in any raid in
Chicago. Among the tilings taken was
a woman's skirt of materia! matching
that which formed the gag in Logue's
mouth. The police believe they can
prove the gag was torn from this skirt.
In the flat at 1436 Clifton avenue,
in the Wilson-Evanston avenue, north
side aristocratic district, in addition to
the skirt, trunks and suit cases packed
with plunder, burglars' tools and ex
plosives. two skeletons were found. In
all nearly a wagon load of plunder was
taken to police headquarters.
Nitroglycerin Found.
Tn a basement store room just be
low the flat the police moved cautious
ly. Their caution was justified. In suit
cases in the basement they discovered
a quantity of nitroglycerin, and in the
same suit cases where tiie slightest
blow might have caused an explosion
which would have torn the flat building
off the face of the earth were careless
ly sprinkled a quantity of fulminating
caps.
Scattered through the flat were beer
and whisky bottles and the stubs of
partially smoked cigarettes. In ope
room, evidently occupied by a woman,
was a trunk crammed with hastily
stowed women's gowns. On the dress
er were a number of opened boxes of
cigarettes. Stubs of cigarettes strewed
the floors and in the corners were
empty bottles.
On a bed in one room men’s clothing
carefully laid out with burglars’ tools
of the most approved pattern in the
pockets, evidently ready tor instant
use, were found. It is expected that the
clothes may enable tin. police to help
identify the men.
Auto Figures in Find.
An automobile also figured in the
find. It was drh. • a uu to the flat while
the police were there. Its driver,
Charles Duffy, was arrested. It is be
lieved by the police that their re
markable discovery today will solve not
only the murder of Logue, but will clear
up the greater part of the automobile
bandit cases that have mystified the
police.
The flat itself was in confusion. Un
washed dishes were everywhere. They
were stacked In closets and piled under
beds and on chairs. Jewels, many of
them unset, were found in queer hiding
places. Drills, saws, dynamite fuses,
jimmies, blackjacks and enough ammu
nition to supply' a. small arsenal was
discovered. Five automatic pistols were
found in six suit cases that had been
packed ready for removal.
The finding of the skeletons puzzled
the police. They were neatly stowej
away in one of the closets in which
hung a quantity of women's clothing.
Part of tlie find was made at the
Windsor-Clifton hotel, where li. P.
Hampton and Mrs. Hampton were reg
istered. Jewels torn from the cards on
which they had been mounted were
found there. The police are endeavor
ing to find whether the cards are the
same as those used by Logue in mount
ing jewels. The cards were blood
stained.
Eight in Arrest.
In addition to the four persons ar
rested early today, tile police have since
taken four other persons in custody.
They are:
Frank Williams, asserted by the po
lice to be an ex-convict. He is a chauf
feur.
Charles Duffy, chauffeur of the car
that drove up to the '‘Citadel” flat.
A woman whose name has not been
made public. She is said to be the sis
ter of Jimmy Johnson, a convict now in
Waupun prison in Wisconsin.
Another woman whose name has not
been made public, said to be a married
woman who was occasionally at the
Clifton avenue flat.
The Hamptons, Stratton and one of
the unnamed women were arrested in
the loop district. Williams. Mrs. John
son and the other unnamed woman
were arrested at the flat. Duffy, the
chauffeur, was arrested when he drove
up with the automobile.
A quantiy of new parcels delivery
stamps, in sheets evidently as they had
come from the bureau of engraving,
were also found in tile flat. The
stamps are said to aggregate $3,000 in
value.

NEAR BLOWS IN
SUIT EDS CHILD!
Father Who Gave Away Baby
Seeks to Take It From
i
Foster Parents.
Little Hazel Lee Brown, or Garner, I
might have slept peacefully lust night, i
but ii is quite sure that her father. |
fostel-father, foster-mother and aunt |
and several attorneys had troubled I
slumbers.
It was over the little girl, not yet
three years old. that a legal battle un
precedented in Georgia was waged yes.
terday in Justice J. b. Ridley s court.
Her father, Henry R. Brown, caused
all the exciting court scenes by bring
ing suit foi the recovery of his child
from John T. Brown, by whom the child
was adopted less than two years ago
from tiie Home for tlie Friendless, to
which Brown had given his child at
the death of his wife.
After a wrangle in the court, which
lasted several hours. Judge Ridley dis
missed the case, leaving the child in
possession of Garner. During the wran
gle and immediately following it also,
more than once testimony was heard on
both sides which came near resulting
in a personal difficulty between attor
neys and witnesses.
Gave Child to Orphanage.
The bitter feeling continued after the
case was dismissed, and another per
sonal difficulty barely was averted be
fore witnesses had left the court build
ing.
It developed during the testimony
that Brown gave his little girl to the
Home for the Friendless upon the death
of his wife because' lie had not ade
quate means for earing for her. Soon
afterward Mrs. Garner, a sister of
Brown, adopted tlie child under legal
procedure from tlie Home for tlie
Friendless.
In the meantime Brown marired
again. He said he had heard his child I
was being mistreated by Garner, so he
instituted suit for her legal posses
sion.
On the witness stand Garner de
clared that he was fond of the child
and had not mistreated her.
Mrs. Garner sided with her brother. I
and testified against her husband. |
whom she said had once administered |
punishment to the little girl when she
was ill, and as a result of which marks
and bruises were left on the little body
for several weeks.
Garner’s own eight-year-old son also
testified against his father. The boy
said he had been replaced in the af
fections of his father bv the adopted
child.
Threatens To Whip Spectator.
Mrs. Garner declared in tlie court
room that she would leave her husband
but for the welfare of her own little
boy.
During tlie hearing of this testimony,
Artninius Wright, an attorney for Gar
ner, arose, and pointing to Joseph
Brown, a brother of Henry R. Brown,
said:
‘‘lf‘that fellow does not stop leering
at me I will whip him, if the court will
permit.”
The offending Brown was admonish
ed by tile judge, and was told lie woul 1
be fined unless he remain quiet and
unoffensive.
As soon as Judge Ridley dismissed
the case on tlie ground tiiat there was ■
net sufficient evidence that Garner had
mistreated the little girl. Joe Brown
and Garner passed bitter words just
outside the court room, and a light was
averted by the interference of other
w itnesses.
Brown said lie was not through w itli
his tight to reg in the child.
