He is being closely guarded. lie
is 5.2 in height, of swarthy com
plexion and wore a gray suit and
light cap, at the time of the hold-up.
This answered the description of one
of the bandits as given by several
eye witnesses. The hold-up occurred
at Paca and Pratt streets as the
messengers were entering the com
pany plant on their return from a
bank with the pay roll.
Whether Dauko was accidentally
shot in reloading his pistol during
the battle with police, or whether
he was killed in a quarrel is still
a matter of speculation.
Believes Death Accident.
Detective Oapt. Burns, who is in
personal charge of investigation, be
lieves the man was accidentally
killed. He points out the bandits
had scarcely time to quarrel over
their loot. The interval which
elapsed between the hold-up and the
finding of the bandit’s body in the
abandoned auto, at St. George street,
was but 15 minutes. Furthermore,
Burns declares, the bandits would
hardly leave behind them such a
clew as the body of a confederate.
The police are confident that tiie
bandits have not left the city. They
may be within a few blocks of the
SonneboiAi plant. Detective Captain
Burns suiw it would have been Impos
sible for them to have escaped or gone
far, as, in less than five minutes
after the robbery, dozens of police
and plain clothes men were on the
scene and no suspect wound have
been able to get by them.
The police have been in communi
cation with New York authorities
about the persons mentioned in the
V*tters found in Danko's room. They
would not give out any information
about the letters, except to say that
a number of names and addresses
were mentioned.
