Oct. 19.- (AP) Dim, broken trails through the labyrinth of mazes of San Francisco's underworld have led to the capture of two youths be lieved by the police to be respon sible for the orgy of murder and robbery here on the nights of Oc tober 9 and 11, in which five men were killed and a dozen wounded. Clarence (Buck) Kelly, his flight cut short by a police bullet through his body, is in the San Francisco hospital courting death in a self -ex pressed hope that, be will escape the hangman's . rope. His companion, Lawrence Weeks, younger, but hardly less hardened. was taken while peacefully at work on a laborer's job in the Du- boce municipal tunnel. Both were apprehended last night within an hour of each other. Today Roy O'Neil and Jim Fits gerald. said by the police to be two. close companions of Kelly, were taken to the hall of justice for questioning, but they are not Implicated in any way. They were on an automobile ride with Kelly last Sunday after the first of the series of robberies and murders, the- police say. A third suspect and a girl com panion were being sought tonight along the same trails that led to the capture of Weeks and Kelly.! Bootleg liquor, leading to an un controlable craving for wild ad venture, is blamed on all sides for the crimes. Weeks freely admits some of the robberies of Saturday night and admits that he may have killed at least one man, Mario Pango, on Saturday night, Oct. 9. . We got all gowed up," he said in his broken;- halting statement. "Got all gowed up at a bootleg joint, out on Waller street Red McCarthy's joint. I got a . gun from a friend. Kelly already had one. We grabbed off a big car and got it started by rolling it down, a hill. Then we' were on our way. 'Kelly drove" most of the time. We did a!, lot . of . shooting. If that Mario Pango ot a big bullet in him I guess 1 killed him. If It's a small one. Its from Kelly's gun, I don't know! But I've got a com plete alibi for Monday night. I never saw Kelly on Monday. I don't know where he was," Kelly, courting death through his stubborn refusal to permit an operation for the removal of the bullet that tore through his lung, steadfastly denies everything. "I don't know what: it's all about, he said on' his cot at the San .Francisco hospital., j , John Kelly, his father, a' struc tural iron worker, blames the boot leg wWskey; and a passhpn' for the night life as represented by wild taxieab rides.
