believed. The antH will destroy an
entire wooden structure if given
sufficient time, ho wild, threaten
ing every wooden building In Pas
adena with collapse.
"A thorough survey of actual
conditions throughout the city is

KILLED PRISON GUARD
Headed Burglary System So
Successful Authorities
.Were Afraid to Make '
It Public Affair. ' I
(Auoclitcd Proa Uued Wire.) .. -.
BALTIMORE, MU., Aug. 13.
niclmid Reese Whittemore, leader
of a bandit gang that Bet itself a
goal of a billion dollars loot, died
on the gallows shortly after mid
night this morning in the peulleu
tlnry where he slew a guard in es
caping a yenr and a half ago.
The end came quickly for Iho
youthful criminal who led lils fol
lowers to robbery of nearly $1,000.
000 of the fabulous sum they
sought. At midnight he said: "f
wish to Bay goodbye, the best I
could wish anybody." At 12:08
his body plunged through the gal
lows trap or tlie Maryland peniten
tiary. At 12:22, fourteen minutoB
later, he was pronounced dead.
Less than 20 minutes had elap
sed after he stepped onto , the
fold platform at 12:06 when his
body, In Its casket, '. was wheeled
out of the death chamber. It was
claimed by relatives ' for funeral
services at the home of his fath
er, Rawllngs V. Whittemore. i
The elder Whittemore and Mrs. 1
Margaret Whittemore, tlte slayer'B.
wife, bade him farewell several
hours before the execution. Mrs. .
Whittemore was weeping hysteric
ally as she left the prison for the
last time, but Whittemore appear
ed unshaken and remained so to
the end. 1 1 . . ' . : ( ' .
Was Master Criminal.
Whittemore, serving a 15-year
sentence for burglary, ,fatally bent
Robert H. Holtinan, a 00-year-old
guard, with an irou bar on Febru
ary 20, 1925, and walked out of tho
hospital gate of the penitentiary.
Thirteen months later, when a
New York police night patrol pick
ed III m up as a suspicious charac
ter after a chase at guns' points
from tho door of a night club, ho
was tho active head of one of the
Bast's most successful criminal or
ganizations of recent years.
' Although at outs with' the law
from the age of short trousers,
Richard Reese Whlttomore's crim
inal career loft him cast in a. pet
ty role until, at the age of 25 and
with a noose dnnglfng nbove. -his
head, ho crowded into the space of
a few months most of the high
lights of a fiction bandit's life. . .
System Near Perfection.
Tlnlllmore, New York, Chfcngo,
Cleveland and Buffalo were includ
ed Jn Iho Whittemore gang's scope
of operations. Many lucrative
hauls wore made from New York
jewelry establishments. The "mil
lion dollar crlmo trust," so dubbed
later by police because of tho
fabulous goal set, and reported
nearly readied when tho crime or
gani.ation was shattered, revealed
Itself as an almost entirely self
supporting crime unit when police
dug Into its secrets. It had its
own private "fences" for receiving
stolen goods and maintained its
own channels of disposal, realiz
ing a much higher profit on its
loot than Is usually the case. The
profits were apportioned among
the gang members, the apportion
ment being made by Whittemoro,
who personally superintended Its
operations. Ko successful had tho
gang's system been, that police at
flrHt declined to make imbllc Iho
(li.tmllfl of a confession of Anthony
I'liliulliiii, one of Whlttomore's
henchmen, on the grounds that it
set a dangerous example.
Entire Gang Caught
I'alnilino "tipped orf" tho system
in his confession, and incriminat
ed, besides Whittemore, Leon nnd
Jacob Knaemer. brothers, Milton
"Shuffles" Goldberg and "I!nlll
more Willie" Unkelbach as tho
chief members of the gang. Unkel
bach. the last to be arrested, was
In Ilalllmnrn while search for him
was being made In Cleveland, nnd
might have escaped had lie not
driven In his automobile from Bal
timore to New York to retrievo
personnl belongings. All (ho malo
gangsters received prison terms In
New York.
