were committed in various cities in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Minnesota and Missouri and there method was to stay in a city for a
few days while they decided on two establishments to rob, They would
then commit two crimes in the same night and move on the next city.
Frequently they would use Mulford's Mistress who traveled with them as
a lookout, On Thanksgiving Day, Nov, 25, 1920, they were .in Buffalo,
N. Ye, staying in a rooming house at 236 North Division, where they
decided to pull a daytime robbery of a jewelry store located on Seneca
Street. Before they left the house, Mulford told his mistress that he
would have a big Thanksgiving dinner for her even if he had to kill
someone, Before they reached the jewelry store, they stopped in the
second hand clothing store run by 5-year-old Abraham Yellin at 19)
Seneca St. for Slover to obtain an overcoat. After he had tried on
several, he selected one that he liked and started out of the store
without paying for it. Yellin grabbed him and, as they grappled,
Slover pulled a revolver and shot him three times inflicting wounds
from which Yellin died that afternoon, They three bandits fled from
