Alba-ny, N. Y., Dec. 20. A second
pistol believed to belong to the kill
ers of Jack "Irgs" Diamond, was
found today five blocks from the
teeming house in which Diamond
was phot to death Friday.
It was turned over to the police.
who lit Id it for ballistic and linger-
print examination.
It was fully loaded and there were
no marks of filing in the barrel, a
( it cumhtanct thr.t gave rise to the
theory there may have been tim e
killers, instead of two. as heretofore
I Mippo.sed. Ualli-tic experts who saw-
the slugs taken from the gangster's
body .a id they had bten fired from
two weapons.
The weapon fcund today has a
wooden handle, whereas the first
pifctol had a pearl handle. Both are
.oS caliber.
Police, thwarted in IJoston and
New York in efforts to find Dia
mond's killers, returmd today to the
locale of the shooting and rounded
up all witnesses in the cae to ques
tion them again.
District Attorney Delaney said to
night he had not decided on any def
inite plan with regard to Marion
"Kiki" Roberts, whom he went to
IJoston Saturday to interview. He did
not see her.
"I guess I could )ne talked with
her all right if I wanted to do it in

want to do that."
Delaney' said he' mittiit 'refurh'V

rather lightly with the suggestion
that the former Fellies girl with
whom Diamond kept a tryst just be
fore he went to his death might bo
the key to the mystery surrounding
his execution. He smiled and said.

two one legged men living here and
the Scottsbluff relief commission is
glad of it. Mrs. Ed Overstreet. man

the right foot of a eripflle. Unable

pair, gave the cripple the right shoe,
and Fet the other on the shelf. Ap
parently it was a total loss. This

up. He too needed a shoe, for his
only remaining font, t lie left. Down
came the odd shoe from the shelf. It
