Mrse Hanglin Arrested for Death of Baby Newark Woman Locked Up Without Bail in Charge of Manslaughter to Await a Hearing To-day NEWAKK, N. J., May 12.?Mrs. Cona Hanglin, twenty-nine yeara old, in whose cellar the bones of Paul Esdorn, rine months old, were dug up yester? day, was placed under arrest to-day on a charge of manslaughter by direction of Henry Harrison, Essex County Prosecutor. The charge against her is a formal one, the police said. Never? theless, she was locked up without bail to await a hearing to-morrow. The young woman declared that the 1 death of the Esdorn baby was purely accidental, and that the impulse of ter? ror which led her to seek to conceal it ha denveloped her in a nightmare of horror. Her extremely enrvous condi? tion, she said, was due to the months of strain tha*. followed her burial of the baby she had taken to board. On?> Baby Missing One baby who is not listed in Mrs. Hangiin's record of her infant board? ers is stiil at the Hanglin home at 54 Howard Street. The police have r.ot been able to discover its identity. Another baby boarder, listed simply as "Halloran," ?3 being sought by the po? lice. Mrs. Hanglin avers that the Hal? loran chiid was taken home by its ?rother. but she does not know where Mrs. Halloran lives nor did she note the baby's departure in her record. The police have no reason for doubt? ing Mrs. Hangiin's word, but they want to verify it by finding "Mrs. Halloran." It was December H, 1918, that Mrs. Hanglin answered an advertisement of John Esdorn, of 27 Johnson Street, who wanted a home for the youngest of his five motherless children. The following day ahe took the child, Paul, from the Newark City Day Nursery. The next day, December 13, she told the police, the fatal accident occurred. According to her story, she went out for a short time, leaving Paul in a carriage beside a fireplace in her home. When Bhe returned the perambulator was upset and the baby's body, "all black," lay in the fire. At first, Mrs. Hanglin said, she could not realize that the baby was dead. When the lact smote her she was panicstricken. Concealment First Thought Her first thought was to conceal the death le3t blame attach to her for leaving the baby alone. Carrying the baby's body, she started for the cellar, snatching up a carving knife as she ran. There is a dark, cobwebby recess behind the coal bin in the Hanglins' eellar where the floor is merely the red earth of the neighborhood, pounded hard and blackened at the surface with C!*i dust. That was the ?pot she selected as the grave of Paul Esdorn. She laid the imftll body down and began to dig frantically with the carving knife. Once the surface vu penetrated the earth was damp and soft and easily removed. When ?he bad excavated an irregular trough, Mra. Hanglin laid the baby in it and covered it with dirt. '?hen ?he went back upstairs to at tead to her own two ?mall children tad scrub from her hands and dress the rea and black grime of tho cellar. Mrs. Hanglin ha? an intense love for children. One of her? i? the child cf her first rnarriag*. It is her love for ihiidren, ?he told the police, and not ?r.y design to conceal the death of ''??'jl Esdorn that led her to take other ?abietes boarders. Husband Also Deceived Nevertheless, when John Esdorn AftlUd, an he did at interval*, to nee ? is child, Mr*.

Mar tine was found guilty of Yobbery ir the first degree. He appeared in courl decorated with several medals whicr he claimed had been given him foi bravery, but which, investigation dis closed, he had purchased. Judge May in imposing sentence said: "Ycu are not the sort of a fellow who will risk his life in battle. The cowardly, mean crime you committed in waylaying a defenceless citizen proves that there is nothing heroic in your make-up. It is a pleasure to pun? ish a man like you." JACOB GROZERMAN, 105 years old, may be able to get away with it in Russia where he spent the first 100 years of his life, but it never will do with us. Jacob is under observation in Belle vue Hospital, and his grandson, Harry Cohen, with whom he lived at -112 Cherry Street, breathes more easily. Yesterday he discovered grandpa sit? ting on the coping of the roof and swinging his heels gayly over the pave? ment, six stories below. BAD grammar was responsible foi the denial by Justice Benedict in the Supreme Court of Brooklyn yes? terday of an application for a sale of property. The application was filed in behalf of Louis Tanna, of 238 Riving ton Street, Manhattan, who asked per? mission to sell the interest of his three-year-old son, Sidney, in a house at 305 Bedford Street, Brooklyn. The petition and accompanying affidavits, to the composition of which the court took exception, were presented by Emanuel I. Silberstein, attorney, of 03 Park Row, Manhattan. In denying the petition Justice Ben was aided by the fact that her hus? band's business sometimes necessitated his absence for considerable periods. In the course of time, however, of? ficial inquiries concerning Paul Es dorn came from the Health Depart? ment, which interests itself in the welfare of children taken from city institutions. "My mother's taken Paul to Atlantic City," said Mrs. Hanglin easily. That was Saturday. Mr. Hanglin was in Gloversville, N. Y. His wife dispatched an urgent telegram implor? ing him to come home. He returned at once, and she told him the whole miserable story. He sought Mr. Es dorn and told him, and the search yesterday in the Hanglin cellar was the result. Despite the account of his child's death, given by Mrs. Hanglin, and her arrest on a manslaughter charge, John Esdorn refused to-night to believe that his baby was dead. "I don't believe my baby is dead," said Esdorn, who is a porter at the Jefferson Hotel here. "I think he was stolen or given away, and that this woman was more afraid of infuriating some ono else than me." ? ? ? Coney Island Fare Test Court Hearing Delayed The three Borough Park Heights Civic Association members arrested Sunday for refusing to pay an extra five cents to get out of the We&t End terminus at Coney Island, in order to test the validity of the cacera five cent charge by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, were held in $500 bail each for a further hearing by Magistrate O'Neill in the Coney Island Court, yes? terday. The men are accused of dis? orderly conduct. They are Sidney Kaufman, twenty-two years old, of 1254 Forty-third Street; David Carson, twenty-nine years old, of 1362 Forty sixth Street, and Samuel Sorocki, twenty years old, of 1211 Forty-first Sente. The company maintains the men jumped over the turnstile and yelled to other passengers to refuse to pay. Maxwell S. Harris, attorney for the accused men said the woman ticket agent refused to turn the turnstile when the men refused to pay the excess fare. H? admitted that one o? ihem Jumped over the gate, but denied that any on? of the three urged other pas ?enver* ?'> fnUnw ?heir r-xamol*. edict said that it was tne duty of the court to protect the dignity of the legal profession by insisting on the use of proper English. "If the court be lax in this respect," said Justice Benedict, "it will not be long before membership in the learned profession of the law will cease to carry with it any guarantee of scholar? ship. The application is denied with? out prejudice to renewal upon proper papers." Tt/fRS. GRETCHEN COBB, a concert -l" singer, who used to live in Mil? waukee, refuses to live in Newark, N. J., according to her husband, Lieuten? ant Francis C. Cobb, U. S. N. R. So it happened that the lieutenant was in the Supreme Court yesterday ask? ing for a separation on. the ground of abandonment. Lieutenant Cobb told Justice Greenbnum he obtained employ? ment in Newark, and therefore wanted his wife to live there with him. After a walk through the New Jersey metrop? olis Mrs. Cobb remarked she had learned where all the "rubes" came from that are seen in New York. She would not live there. Mrs. CobJ? did not appear to defend the action. AS if the drought beginning July 1 isn't going to be enough, along comes Magistrate Frederick J. Groehl and makes things even worse. In the West Side Court yesterday he | announced that whoever came before him hereafter, bearing the obvious signs of internal liquor hoarding, would be sent where he couldn't get any more until the time when he couldn't get it anywhere. Then, to prove that he was in earnest, he sen? tenced Mary Murphy, forty-five years old, to lifty-two days in the work? house. "That will leave you fit liberty on July 2," he told her, "and I serve no? tice that any other habitual drinker who comes before me will receive sim? ilar treatment." _i Nixon Asks Hedley For Better Service At First Comissioner Requests Three Additional Trains on the West Side Line During Rush; 1 to Kingsbridge At his first hearing since his, ap? pointment as Public Service Conrmis sioncr, Lewis G. Nixon asked Frank Hedley, general manager of the Inter borough, yesterday to operate three additional West Side subway trains an hour to Washington Heights during the rush hours and to operate one train in every three north of 167th Street on the Lexington Avenue branch either to Fordham or Kingsbridge Road. Numer? ous complaints have been received be? cause of the failure of the Interbor ough to provide through service on this line. After asking for time to consider the matter, Mr. Hedley said: "There are several matters which, with such a change in schedule, will require consideration. It will take some time. It wUl demand study. A new schedule will have to be prepared. The service on the Jerome Avenue line I regard as sufficient. If we ran sub? way trains through we would have to operate moro cars than are needed. Some of them would be empty. One train in every three would only be one train in about every nine minutes. This would be not nearly as good as the service that is now provided, where passengers have only to step from one train to another. "I think a month is a good time to adjourn this matter, and if I can reach a decision in the meantime I will let you know." Commissioner Nixon replied he would give the traction man one week to consider the additional service and through operation on the West Side and then he expected a report from him. This brought the hearing to a cIof?. Hearing I Doctors Accused by Judge of Falsifying CompensationProof Hundreds of Cases Have Come Before Him, Says Oppenheimer, in Which Physicians Have Aided Workmen's Unjust Claims Charges of dishonest practice in tes? tifying falsely to the condition of ap? plicants for workmen's compensation j were levelled at local physicians by i Judge Solomon Oppenheimer at a j meeting of the Society of Medical Ju | risprudence held in the Academy of Medicine last night. Hundreds of such cases come before him, said the judge, and there was no | shadow of doubt in his mind that man; j of the physicians were dishonest and i deliberately exaggerated the extent of ; the injuries. In fact, it was impossible ; to get accurate testimony from the I doctors in eighty-five out of 100 cases. j He contended that physicians whose ! testimony had to be given through in ? terpreters because they did not know j the English language should not be al? lowed to testify. All physicians should be compelled to keep records of the medical history j of their patients, he said, so that the ; courts could decide whether or not they ! were exaggerating the condition of the applicant for compensation. The court frequently had to take the testimony of "incompetent doctors, who did not have i the common sense to answer properly." I This statement was challenged by j Robert W. Bonynge, the speaker of the evening, who, until a few days ago, ; j was chief counsel to the State In- ] i dustrial Commission. He said he believed that the great j | majority of the doctors fully realized ! ! their responsibility in regard to the ' operation of the workmen's compensa | tion laws. In the medical, as in every I other profession, there were some dis ! honest men and the laws were such ; as to open the doors readily to the building up of great claims for dam? ages out of trivial accidents. The med? ical profession would be rendering a service in dealing severely with any of its members who aided and abetted practices of this kind. In talking on the "Aggravation of Pre-oxisting Diseases by Accident as a ! Basis of Compensation Under Work- j men's Compensation Laws," Mr. Bonynge foresaw a gradual weeding out of the old and feeble in the ranks '. of labor as a result of the operation | of these laws. "The generous provision made for dependents under our compensation laws will make it difficult for infirm people to get employment in the fu? ture," he said. Port Officials Meet Collectors and Appraisers Hold Convention Here Collectors and appraisers of the United States customs service dis- : cussed problems of the Bervice at their '? fifth annual conventions here yesterday. The collectors met in the Custom House and the appraisers at the Appraiser's Stores. L. S. Rowe, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, delivered the principal address before the collectors, and By? ron R. Newton, Collector of the Port of New York, made the address of wel- [ come. The annual joint dinner of the col? lectors and appraisers will be held Thursday night. Briefs More than 1.000 boys, pupil? in an annex i of Public School 83, 217 East 110th Street, marched safely from their class rooms to the street when an alarm of Are was : sounded by tho principal.

The assembling of this col? lection is the result of the past two months searching of Europe for French an? tiques by Au Quatrieme's collectors. The five rooms?a boudoir, salon, dining-room, library, and a super-bath-room, are as enchantingly lovely as ex? quisite antique French fur? niture and bibelots, precious bits of brocade, rare paint? ings, and screens, arranged by a connoisseur of these things, can make them. The Super Bath-Room Many of the smart women in Europe are using their bath? rooms as boudoirs. This is ar? ranged by cleverly concealed bathtubs and basins, so that the bath is really a lovely little charmingly artificial boudoir where plants grow, and rare prints and rare bibelots give the room delicate charm. This boudoir bath-room An Quatri?me begins by having a peach - colored marbleized floor and a background of pale cream walls. The nucleus of this room is a wonderful old Louis XV bath in the form of a carved walnut chaise-longue in which a copper tub is concealed. Blue rubberized taffeta cur? tains and pink underdraperies are held by two tiny antique cu pids to form an amusing canopy over this chaise-longue. Another lovely thing in the room is a Louis ? XVI poudreuse of fruit wood, beautifully fitted with mir? ror and small compartments and containing the original perfume bottles and ointment-pots. An old French corner cup? board painted blue and gold con? tains pitchers and basins, and old bottles of blue glass. Four ex? quisite LouisXVI armchairs with the original paint and uphol? stered in blue and gray toile de jouy repeat the blue note. Painted hat-boxes, old tinsel pictures, and painted Louis XVI jardinieres holding growing plants add to the gay, charm? ingly artificial atmosphere of this very feminine little room. ? * ? The other French rooms con? tain many rare and lovely things. Small old tables of exceptional beauty and also some remark? able modern reproductions. A Louis XV drop-leaf dining table in, the ,salle a manger is particularly noteworthy. Old candlesticks, a wonderful old water-fountain, Sevres jar? dinieres, tinsel pictures anc French pastels, and Dutch cut paper pictures are some of th< interesting small decorative ob jects in these rooms.
