SLAY ROTHSTEIN BODYGUARD IN FLORIDA HOTEL Underworld Thread of Mystery About Notorious Gambler Again Tangled. By United Bret* MIAMI, Fla., # March B.—The underworld thread of mystery, unwoven bit by bit since Arnold Rothstein, New York gambler, was shot last summer, was snarled and complicated today here where Thomas (Patty) Walsh, Rothstein bodyguard. met his death. / In spite of the insistent rumors from the underworld that the killing of Walsh in the gaming establishment atop the fashionable Miami-Biltmore hotel at exclusive Coral Gables was but another chapter in the history of the murder of the gambler Rothstein, Dade county officials said today the shooting was “cleared up.” Ed Wilson, alleged proprietor of the establishment was charged with the murder. Wilson has not been found. The detectives base the r charge on “'talk they say they elicited from two of the six men under arrest as eye witnesses. The six men are: Arthur Clark, who was wounded when Walsh was shot: W. L. Bowen, a Wilson employe; K. E. Qa.vlord, in whose name the gam-

bling rooms were rented; Charles Easley, J. H. Fabro, and Bert Griffith, alleged professional gamblers. Which of the six men refuted the gangland code of silence, the officers refused to say. They were willing only to give their reconstruction of the incident, as built from what they were told by the men held. At a time, they say, when the luxurious suite of rooms was busiest, shortly after midnight Thursday, a quarrel arose between Wilson and the 230-pound Walsh. The words spoken to each other, in the opin-

ion of the police, could not have been loud since the general rush for the door was not made until after Walsh was shot. Wilson, according to detectives, whipped out a revolver and emptied it at Walsh, two of the bullets striking Clark. WilsOn, it is. said, immediately slipped out a door and disappeared with the dozens of persons who also ran. When police arrived, only the dead body of Walsh was to be seen. Other investigators of the shooting are unwilling to accept this solution.

LIQUOR PRICES RISE AS RESULT OF JONES LAW Bootleggers Close Shop in Fear of Drastic Provisions. (Copyright, 1929. by United Press) NEW YORK, March B.—Bootleggers of the nation fear the drastic provisions of the new Jones law and liquor henceforth will be much higher in price and more difficult to obtain, a nation-wide United Press survey indicated today. Dealers in liquor who had been content to pay nominal fines and go on with their business are closing up shop in large numbers now that they face the Jones law penalty of imprisonment for five years or SIO,OOO fine. However, a hope exists among the fraternity that juries will be hesitant to convict under the new law and the first cases are being awaited with interest. Perhaps the most noticeable results of the Jones law so far have been in the national capital at Washington and at Buffalo, N. Y. In Washington the price of alcohol has been increased from sll to S2O a gallon; gin has gone from $2 to $5 for a fifth of a quart; rye has doubled in value,

being quoted at $6 a pint for the former $3 quality. Apartments of two supposed bootleggers were suddenly vacated. The United Press correspondent in Buffalo reported that speakeasy patrons were being met by gruff announcements from the bartenders: “We re closing up. The Jones bill has us licked.” It was estimated that hundreds of saloons there had closed since Saturday Many of them had been running wide open within a few blocks of the federal building and prohibition headquarters. California bootleggers are adopting a “watchful waiting” attitude, intending to keep their operations limited to a known and trusted clientele until the effects of the Jones law can be judged. New York City seemed to be undisturbed, the only difference noted being an increased number of conferences between bootleggers and their attorneys. The dealers want advice on the prospects of evading the harsh provisions of the law. Police Commissioner Grover Whalen of New York City has said the metropolitan area is “liberal” in prohibition matters. He has been cleaning out a number of speakeasies as public nuisances, but unless a wave of Jones law convictions sets in, the new law is not expected to
