HEAD OF BURGLAR GANG IS DEAD

(Chief Kuespert Identifies Man at Dowagiac as Thic Who "Worked" Here. That an end Is In view of the Ion? list of rohheries whlrh have hten perpetrated hero in .he pat few months, is the helief if Chief of Detectives John Kuesp?rt, who has returned from PowaRlac where he identitled Joseph Leonard as the man who had been concerned with several local jobs. Leonard is dead. Joseph ITonarii, nlias I- C. Hnoierhyde, a notorious criminal with a lonff and remarkable record, met his undoint? through an observant hotel employe at Dowalar. Circumstances, resulting in the em-ploy-'s arrest on a charge of bein? implicated In robberies at Downslac i leI to his iteini; run down at P.attle Creek. The hotel man had overheard a lonp distance call Leonard made. Arrested, and on his way back to Dowagiac, Leonard leaped from a C. II. & I. train, three miles west of Mattawan. The engineer said its tpeed averaged between 65 and 70 miles an hour. When the train crew returned along the road bed, they found Leonard, still breathing, but fatally injured. He died as the train reached DowaRiac. llrains of Gnug. "Ieonard was the brains of an organized f?anff of pickpockets and house breakers who have been working systematically Indiana, Michi- .... . ( t ltA pan, imnots ana Wisconsin. have a line on other members of i the gang; their headquarters is in Grand Rapids." Chief Kuespert made this statement following the narration of Ieonard's spectacular arrest and escape from earthly justice. The chief had just returned from Dowapiac where he conducted his Bertillion tests over the body I of the suspect. Leonard's arrest reads like fiction. The youthful employe of the Dowagiac hotel was arrested on suspicion: he stoutly declared his innocence, and then in an inspired moment, offered to wager the officers that he could pick the man who had been doing the work "Ills name's Leonard." he said, I "and he stops here even once in a while. Peculiar part of it is that whenever he comes to town, some house is robbed. And he gets in late." explained the young fellow, expectantly. He then told of the telephone conversation and sahl ho thought ho could lind Leonard in r.attle Creek. 1 The officers w ere skeptical, but deeided to tak,e a chance. With the hotel employe. Deputy Sheriff Millan Flanders went to Rattle Creek and j conducted a search, aided by the j city force. j After a fruitless day, the two were ' on their way to the station, when the young fellow stopped and pointed across the street. i "There's Leonard." he said simply.' The man was accosted. He said he was a realty man. nveu in i.aiue Crcek. and had never even seen Dowagiac. Deputy Flanders said he would take a chance, and the three s-tarted for Dowagiac. Jumps I'rom Train. Leonard had a suitcase, and on the train some friends ot the deputy's wanted to rlay cards and asked to borrow it. At Kalamazoo the party broke up, and when the suitcase was returned, Ieonard said it wasn't his. A search of the car was made, but Ix-onard's was the only suitcase on the train. Finally he admitted it was his. A search developed he had reasons for disclaiming it. The cac.e contained, besides a chisel-jimmy and block for pryir.o wmuows, ioot vaiueu in ine thousands of dollars. Ther-- were watch cases, works, rings, pins, and , other articlei of jewelry; also a hot- , tie which had contained nitric acid for testing. j Prior to examination of the case, ! Leonard asked to be permitted to I get a drink. The deputy accompanied him to tho end of the car. Leonard entered the toilet, and a , few minutes later the crash of glass i told of an attempt to escape, which J tesulted In the man's death. Ho j iiad leap d from the train. j l inger l-rinti Tally. J Chief Kuespert was notified and I went to Dowagiac where he took ! the man's finger print nt the j morgue. They fitted exactly photographs made at several local res: donees which had been robbed. Tho chisel-jimmy also conformed with the imprint left uraler the windows through which entrance was made. Leonard was around 40 years old, and appeared to be a prosperous salesman. "The present day crook is no slouch." explained the chief. Sunday night. "These men are working systematically They cnine here, register as traveling roerr at a good hotel; do their work and get out of town before we are notified. Police work under those conditions is more than serious business. People can't blam" us if it takes time to round up a man." It '.s the belief of not only th? local detective head, but of chiefs er northern Indiana, southern Michigan and the lake cities of Illinois and Wisconsin, that Leonard was the leader of a well organized 1 and which worked according to a schedule from one city to another. As the campaign was planned. tht ciacksman would leave the city in which he operated before the job nus reported to the police. Infor-

He said he was held up ' shortly after 1 o'clock Sunday j morning as he approached the Jef- ! frrson hlvd. brid-e afttr crossing Howard park. "Two men attacked me, hound my hands and feet and placed a gag, made from a bandana handkerchief and a stick, in my mouth. After robbing me they left me still hound and gagged, and I wasn't released until this morning when an old man found me. He described his assailants. The Albert C. Pommert home, I 70S E. Ivisalle a v., was entered through a kitchen window. A made-to-order jimmy was found when the family returned late Saturday evening in time to see the intruder standing in a living room, a packed grip at his feet. He left without the loot, which lie had taken from various rooms in the house. It U thought, from the jimmv, that he was a member of the gang, of which Leonard is thought to have been the leader.
