' CRIME
Murder in Beverly Hills _
Benjamin Bugsy"! Siegel was a hoodwith class. His home outside Beverly Hills
was a tourist showpiece. He dined with-"'Ila_rb_ara Hutton, went yachting withQomtmmy di Frassn.Bugsy was born 42 years ago in NewYorks dingy Lower East Side. He got hisstart as night watchman for a gang of-beer runners. Petulant as a- small boy he
went "bughouse when crossed, but hewas cunning, and he earned the respectof New York Citys top crooks. Whenhe hooked up withXMeyer Lansky, NewYork ranked him as oife oi the B'1'g Six. He beat raps for rape, carrying concealed
weapons, possessing narcotics, and mur-der. In 1933, Murder, Inc. was branching
out. Bugsy, a member, set up westernheadquarters in Hollywood.
Businessman. Bugsy went right to work.He moved in on the gambling at RedondoBeach, took a cut of the prots at theAgua Caliente race track, muscled in onthe numbers racket, cut himself a sliceof the oshore gambling eet and -the
Culver City dog track.
In I939, Big Greeny Greenberg [a for-mer associate of Bugsy] was found dead.Police arrested Bugsy, In jail, Bugsy livedne, arranged for meals of steak andpheasant, and had liquor served in his cellto entertain his women visitors. And thingstook_ care of themselves. Two State'switnesses suddenly died: the case againstBugsy died with them.
The war years were good to him. He
cornered the $500,000-a-day Californiarbookie business, set up a milk run f smuggling Mexican heroin into California.p In 2946 he opened the swanky $6,000,000Flamingo Club in Las Vegas. He madethe acquaintance of sultry, dark-haired Hill, 30, who was famed forparties that dazzled even Hollywood. Thestory was that thrice-married Virginiahad, a Brooklyn patron, a gang overlord
-~"" - -- --4", ¢,__ ' _,...__.._92..,_.,..'-who paid her handsomely to stay out oi "New York. Bugsy moved his shoes and;suits over to Virginias house. .But lately things had begun to go sour.The Flamingo lost money. From NewYork headquarters, the boys arrived to;_.talk to Bugsy. A couple of hoods were -;cut down in the old 2os gangland style.Competition was increasing. The under- 'world was migrating eagerly into SouthernCalifornia. .One day last week Bugsy returned toBeverly Hills from Las Vegas. He wentto Virginias house with his side-kick, Al HSmiley. Virginia wasnt there; she had "gone to Paris. Bugsy settled onto the sofa ifand glanced at the next morning's papers. 5Outside, someone pushed a .30 caliber -carbine through a rose trellis, drew a care-ful bead, put two shots into Bugsyshead, two into his body. A shot that went -wild lodged in an oil painting of a nude __woman, holding a wine glass. ' _ -

WASHINGTON, Juiy 19.-Payment 1937 of $1 .-
to Ben Bugsy" Siegel, gangster, bY"'.Charles Wa ,;.inulti-millionaire president of a St. Paul calendar-fnaki g
rm, has been placed under in-
vestigation as an aftermath of
Siegers recent gunshot death in
iCalifornia.
I Letters showing the payment
as made to Siegel in two in-
, lments have been scrutinized
' Federal officers and turned
lover to the Los Angeles Police
Department, it was learned. _
The investigation has revived
i the remarkable story of__ the rela-
tions of Ward and -Herbert H.
'Bigelow of the big Brown and
fBigelow advertising specialty
firm of St. Paul.
The two met in the early 1920's
ias fellow convicts in the Federalipenitentiary at Le a v e n worth,
Kan. Bigelow was doing time
1- income tax fraud, Ward for
» rcotics law violation.
=, When Ward was released, Eige-
: w sent him to a. job with the
irm. When Bigelow regained his
freedom, he raised Ward rapidly
to 8. high position in the com-
pony.

perforations which some of oi
investigating officers insisted
could have been made only by
bullets, probably fired from o
rie on t.he shore.
Ward inherited $1,000,000 from
Bigelow and soon succeeded him
as president of the firm, which
last year did a $21,000,000 bnsi-i
ness.
The letters to Siege! were!
found by Federal officers in the;
investigation of Brooklyn's Mur-i
der, 1110.," of which Siegel was ai
member.
The first letter, bearing th
signature "Charles Ward" an i
the date of October 14, 1937, o i
Brown and Bigelow letterhead.|
was addressed to the gangster at
szs South McCarty drive, Bev-ii
erly Hills, Calif, shortly after
Siegel had become West Coast
representative of Murder, Inc."
The letter follows:
Dear Ben: Enclosed tlnd two
Liberty bonds for $20,000.
Sorry I couldn't make it 825,- ,
000, but as you know I am
took deals. Am lucky to ha

ps com! LETTER--:7,] he second letter to Siege! i
ber 6, 1937, on the ietterh
of the Midway National Bank
'1 of the bank's president, A. L.*Ritt. It follows: . .
Dear Mr. Slegel: At the ne-
quest of Mr. Giarles Ward we
are enclosing our draft No.
0 7128 In she amount of $80,000, 0
drawn on the Guarantee Trust i
O0mPl-l1.Y of New York, pay-
; le to yourself. Will you kind-
aclmowledge modpt and ior-
are some in the enclosed en- 1
elope? '
Ward is quoted as expl ' ' g
that the $100,000 was repaym t
of a loan from Siege].
I When Siegel was tried at siléngeles in 1940 for the killing of
Murder, Inc.," gangster sus-~
épected of giving information to
the law, he was asked if he had
visited Ward at St. Paul at about
lithe time of the Blgelow death.,
He denied it, and the line of qua:-
tioning was not pursued.
Siegels killers last month, and
the reason for their act, remain-
." known. '
Ward's career has been widely
i bljcized as one oi the strang-t some address was dated ~
i t in American big business.-
orn at Seattle 60 years ago,
he crossed the Pacific many times
as a Seaman, was a tlunky inEiaskh saloon, and joined thvolutionary forces of Panch
illa in Mexico. _
In 1919 he was arrested for a,garcotics law violation at E1
1 aso and met his benefactor at
Leavenworth as the result of
that misadventure.
Owner of a big farm at Hudson,
iWi ., Ward was for several years
a wer in the Progressive Party
of hat state, and was referr
fto y some publications as poli
'ca boss of St. Paul as well.

Howser Sees Wire
Service Motive
Gangland slaying oi Benjamin
"Bugsy Siegel, gambling czar,
probably was motivated because-i
he muscled his racetrack wire!
e1-vice into Nevada and was at-
empting to take over northern
nd Southern California." '
This was the theory advanced
today by Attorney General Fred
N. Howser after he and other
otcials broke open Siegels safe-
ty deposit vault box and found
assorted me-ns jewelry and an in-
surance policy to the reputed
gangsters mother.
Although the box yielded no
ue to the murder, Howser said:
We think we know who had
the best movo. Either the di-
rector or the actual perpetra-
tor of the shooting was I west» 1em nun. - l i
Investigations showed Siege! to
be the representative ot Trans-
america Wire Service, the attor-
ney general stated, adding that
on June 13, seven days before
Siegels death, the wire service
ent the following telegram to
ookmakers it serviced:
