ASKED TO SURRENDER
POLICE CALL TO MURDERER WILL PUBLISH HIS NAME Commissioner Whalen, head of the New York police, has adopted . the extraordinary course of publicly Inviting the murderer of Frank Marlow, a bootlegger and gambler, to surrender himself. Behind the invitation stands this threat: “I shall shortly announce the
murderer’s name if he fails to give himself up.” The Commissioner adds: “This man is the head of a powerful group of Italians in this city. He has had extensive dealings with Marlow, whom he hired gunmen to kill. He disappeared the day after the murder and. has not been seen since.” The information in possession of the police is that Marlow was a collector for a blackmailing gamg. He obtained £SOO from the manager of a boxing exposition and pocketed the money. He was “taken for a ride,” stripped, thrown into a field, and invited to hand over the money. As he refused he was-taken for another ride and killed.
