Husband of Woman Who1
Killed Dr.TetlowCollapses |
as Judgment Is Announced :
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
NORWICH, Conn., Oct. 22. -- Mrs.
Mabel Kenyon to-day was found guilty
of manslaughter for killing Dr. Her?
bert Tetlow. The jury deliberated an
hour and thirty-five minutes.
Attended by her eldest son, her
husband and her attorney, Mrs. Ken?
yon showed no emotion when the fore?
man stepped to the rail and said: "We
find the defendant guilty as charged."
Two hours later Justice Hinman
sentenced Mrs. Kenyon to an inde?
terminate term of not les3 than te.",
nor more than fifteen years in the
state piison at Wcthersneld. Mrs.
Kenyon was taken immediately to the
county jail at New London, and late
to-morrow will be transferred to the
penitentiary.
Husband Breaks Down
Mrs. Kenyon's hvsband, who had re- I
mained at' her side throughout the'
week's ordeal, broke down when the
verdict was announced. A crowd of j
neighbors and friends from Westerly, ?
the town in which the Kenyons made
their home and in which Dr. Tetlow
ivas shot to hi? death, hurried to the
jtricken man and tried to comfort him.
Others went to the .-ule of Mrs Ken?
yon and kissed her, extending their
sympathy and words of encouragement.
" Justice Hinman took an hour 7o de?
liver his charge. He* warned the jury
thai even if the shooting was accidental,
as had been charged and apparently |
prove?!, the twelve men could -till find
Mrs. Kenyon guilty of manslaughter if
she was engaged in the commission of
a crime, or an unlawful act at or just
before the moment of shooting. She
had testified earliei in the week that
she had purposely gone to Dr. Tetlow's
apartment to commit suicide.
Before the court's charge, Mrs. Ken
yon's chief counsel, Herbert Kathbun,
in his summing up, said to the jury:
"Gentlemen, you are married men.
All of you are middled aged. I ask you
to remember the words of the Savior:
'He who is without sin among you, let
him cast the first stone at her.
Mr. Kathbun asked the jury to re?
member that the only exact evidence
of the shooting of Dr. Tetlow was fur?
nished them by the accused woman and !
that the only evidence the state could!
offer was as to what happened after j
that fatal hour on June 11 last. He
begged the men before him not to for- I
get "the ghastly mistakes that had been
made," and continued:
Killed in His Own Home
"Dr. Tetlow's death can be traced
directly to his own acts. As men, I ask
you in the course of life, whom do we
find responsible for the wrecked homes
and broken hearts of this world, the
woman or the man?"
District Attorney Hull, in closing,
desciibed the case as "unusual," and
added: "This case might have found
its parallel in pagan Rome, or in the
decadent nations of Europe in long
past history. It was cold-blooded mur?
der."
Dr. Tel lew was a graduate of the
Western Reserve University, but never
practiced. Ho devoted his time to
horticulture in Pawcatuck, across the
river from Westerly, R. I., his native
town. He had known Mrs. Kenyon
from girlhood, and from direct testi?
mony their friendship had been inti?
mate. She was married three times,
ihe last time thirteen years ago, and
lias three children by her third mar?
riage.
On June 11, Dr. Tetlow was shot
while in his own home, A revolver
which had been discharged four times
was turned over by Mrs. Kenyon to
the police and she admitted firing it.

another of the seven ?a a de?*ective
sergoant of the New York police. He
is Morris Grossman, a first grade de?
tective, attache?! to the F.ast Sixty

The so-called leader described him?
self to United States Commissioner
Hitchcock, as Henry T. Sernel, president

pany, with offices at 358 West Forty
third Street. This corporation was
formed recently, it is said, to remove
bonded whisky from government ware?
houses for medicinal purposes oitiji'.

tity of rubber stamps, made for the
purpose. Was seized.
When Seniors place was raided ves?
t?! ?lay more than 865 cases of whisky

Longshoremen Walk Out, j
Delay Ship's Passengers !
Baggage Handlers Quit When
Foreman Is Discharged After
Auto Falls Into Hold
Passengers on the Munson liner
Martha Washington, from South Amer?
ica, were delayed in disembarking yes?
terday because a foreman of long?
shoremen had been dismissed from
service. An automobile had fallen
from a boom into the hold of another
steamship. The foreman was held re?
sponsible for the mishap.
Meanwhile the gang under his super?
vision struck. Another gang brought
to Brooklyn from Manhattan to take
their places also quit work when they j
learned of the dismissal of the Brook- i
lyn foreman. The passengers' bag?
gage then was handled by '.ho office
staff of the steamship company.

Mrs. Joe Spanish
Held in 31,000,000
Platinum Robbery
Wife of Gunman Arrested a?
Agent for Disposa! of Metal
Stolen From Federal Plant
at Nashville During War
Florence Weiler, of 538 East 138th
Street, the Bronx, was arrested by
Federal detectives yesterday as the Flo j
Weiler, wife of Joe Spanish, an East )
Sid?! gunman, who is accused of being I
implicated in the theft of more than
$1,000.000 worth of platinum. The
platinum was stolen from a govern?
ment explosives plant at Nashville.
Tenn., during the war.
The specific charge against the
woman arrested is that she conspired
to embezzle and dispose of $19,000 ?
worth of platinum. She refused to !
discuss the charge against her and i
was held in $25,000 bail by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock for
further examination.
Joe Spanish was in the Tombs,
awaiting trial fpr the shooting which
later sent him to Clinton prison, wnen
Flo Weiler became interested in
platinum, according to the story told
to George W. Taylor, Assistant United
States Attorney. Mr. Taylor got his
information from H. H. Brown, who
also was in the Tombs at that time
and since then has pleaded guilty to
.stealing platinum from the govern?
ment.
In the Tombs, according to the story
told by Brown, he met Joe Spanish, i
who suggested that since platinum had |
got him '.ito this fix it was up to i
platinum to get him out again. Brown |
saw the logic of this and fell in with
a plan, which he said Joe Spanish pro- j
posed, that Joe's wife should go to j
Nashville and get enough platinum
from the other conspirators to get
Brown out on bail. Brown's bail was
$25,000.
The gunman's wife. Brown said, was
sent to Nashville with a letter of in?
troduction to H. B. Crone, an inspector
: in the government plant, who was said
to be in the conspiracy. That was the
last that Brown saw of the feminine
messenger. After he had got tired of
waiting for bail to be furnished he
?pleaded guilty and turned state's evi?
dence.
Crone has been tried in Nashville
for his alleged connection with the
thefts, and the jury failed to agree.
Joe Spanish's wife is under indictment
in that city. Mr. Taylor said that
after the thefts had been discovered
through the arrest of Brown it was
found that hundreds of tins at the
munitions plant, which were believed
to contain platinum had nothing in
them but aluminum and clay.
Murder Linked

Shot Said to Have Caused
Buffalo Ex-Saloon Man's
Car to Crash and Kill Him ;
Wrr* on Way to This City
Had Quarrel With Dealer
-_
Made Him Return $8,000
at Point of Pistol Afler
His Goods Were Seized
Speeial Dispatch to The Tribune
BUFFALO, Oct. 22.?Murder may be
the latest crime credited to the whisky
ring, according to a statement mnde by
a high government official in this city
to-day in response to queries regard
? ing a rumor that the activities of the
ring were on tho verge of government
I exposure.
The murder, it is asserted, pertains
to the death of Paddy Lavin, once a
1 Buffalo prize fighter and former saloon
! keeper, who was killed September 16
i when the automobile in which he was
riding crashed into a ditch near Nas?
sau, N. Y., ten miles from Albany.
At the time of the accident death
was attributed to injuries received
when the machine left the road. But,
according to information said to be in
1 the hands of the government, Lavin
; was shot a moment before the crash,
and the swervine of the big car was
due to a builct hole through his neck.
Connect Lavin With Whisky Ring
Members of the state constabulary, a
few moments after the crash, foun?!
eleven copper tanks with five-gallon
capacities which it was asserted were
being taken to New York to carry back
a cargo of liquor to Buffalo. Lavin
had $0,561 ill cash and a draft, for
$5,000 in his pockets at the. time of
the accident.
Evidence connecting Lavin with the
activities of whisky dealers in Canada I
: and Pennsylvania is said to be in the
hands of the government. According
to a government official in this cit. ,
Lavin was engaged in a bitter quarrel
with a Pennsylvania liquor dealer three !
hours before the accident wiich cost j
his life. The. Pennsylvania dealer, it is ?
said, sold Lavin $8,000 worth of whisky,
and in less than two hours caused the I
liquor to be seized from him as he at- j
tempted to leave the state with it.
Got Money at Pistol Point
Lavin, according to rumor, went back j
to the Pennsylvania dealer and de-1
manded his $8,000. When the dealer!
refused to comply with the request
Lavin is alleged to have drawn a re- ;
volver and obtained the money by j
force. All Lavih's dealings in Penn?
sylvania are said to have been made !
through a warehouse near the state
une, and certain n?mes are now in the
hands of the government.
Lavin at the time of his death pos?
sessed more than $100,000 in cash and
several thousand dollars worth of real |
estate. All his wealth, it is asserted,
was gained in illegal liquor traffic.
Government officials are unable to]
explain why no report of a bullet
] wound was made by the medical exam?
iner who issued the certificate of acci?
dental death. No announcement of
what steps will be taken to ascertain
the exact cause of death has been
made.
Other investigations of the whisky
ring so far as Buffalo and Western
New York are concerned are under way
and startling announcements may be
expected at any time.
?Oppose U. S. Film Censorship
1 The New England mayors who came
j to New York to discuss motion pictures
i adopted a resolution yesterday at their
I final session at the Hotel Commodore
! opposing official government censor?
ship of film plays. A voluntary review
? of plays like that given by the National
' Board of Review was praised.
Bedtime Stories
A Little Fellow Footls a Big One
By Thornton W. Burgess
A great mistake is hia who tries
To judge another by his size.
?Whitefoot the Wood Mouse?.
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse is one of
j the smallest of the little people who live
| in the Green Forest. Being so small, it
! is not surprising that he is very timid,
1 ready to run und hide at the least little
; sound. But it doesn't, follow that be
I cause he ?r so very small and timid lie
isn?t as smart as some of his larger
neighbors. When you come to think of
it, the proof that he is smart is the
fact that he is alive, for there is no
one who is hunted for night and day
more persistently or by more hungry
neighbors than little Whitefoot. No
] wonder ho jumps at the rustle of h
! leaf or a glimpse of a moving shadow.
! I am sure that were I in his place I
I should want eyes in the back of my
1 head and on the top of my head, as well
; as where Mother Nature has placed
] them
But Whitefoot has just the one pair
! of eyes and one pair of ears, and some?
how he manages to make these do. But
: he spends so much time darting into
j holes and other hiding places that it is
j something of a wonder that he manages
; to get enough to eat. He does, however.
1 In fact, almost always he is sleek and
| plump, which is one reason his hungry
neighbors are always hunting for him.
( It happened that late one afternoon as
; Whitefoot sat on the root of a tree
washing his face, for Whitefoot is very
neat, he heard heavy steps approaching.
Whitefoot sat motionless, waiting.
. Presently he saw Buster Bear shuffling
?long toward him. Now, compared with
Whitefoot, Buster Bear is a perfectly
enormous giant. I suspect, that if you
, were to see a giant as much bigger than
you as Buster Bear is bigger than
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse you would
almost die of fright.
But Whitefoot didn't do anything like
that. In fact, for a few minutes he
, didn't do anything at all but sit per?
fectly still. This shows how well he
had learned to take care of himself. He
. knew that Buster did not see him, but
? if ho should move Buster might se*
! him. If he didn't move Buster might
'-. turn aside and never guess that he was
anywhere about.
So Whitefoot sat still and waited, hit
little heart going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat
He was frighteneii. Of course. He wa?
] terribly frightened. But he didn't al
i low his fright to lead him to do any
: thing foolish. Buster was shuffling
! along slowly, with his nose to th<
ground, sniffing at this and that. Tha1
was a bad sign. It meant that Bustei
was looking for something to eat.
Straight toward him Buster came
until it was clear to Whitefoot that hi
war, bound to be discovered. Then hi
moved. He ran down that root anc
dived Into a little round hole in thi
ground. It was the doorway to one o:
his tunnels. The instant he mov<
Buster Bear ivas digging with all j
his might on tiie other side of
that tree
Buster Bear saw him and sprang for
him. But Buster was too late. White- '
foot was already running along that
little tunnel underground.
Buster sniffed at the doorway. The
sme.l of fat Wood Mouse tickled his
nose. Then R?ster set to work with
his great claws tearing open the
ground. How he did make the dirt fly!
He knew that there was a tunnel there,
and he knew that it was only a little
way below the surface. You see, he
knows a lot about Wood Mice. He in
tended to dig this one out. To be sure,
lie would make only a bite, but it would
be a very delicious bite, quite worth the
trouble.
Now, when Whitefoot made that tun?
nel he knew that just this thing might
happen, so he had made several branch
tunnels with doorways at the ends.
Now he raced along one of these. It
led around to the other side of that
tree on the root of which he had been
sitting. Cautiously he poked his head
out. Buster Bear was digging with all
his might on the other side of that tree.
Whitefoot came out and swiftly climbed
that tree, to a hole he knew of in a
certain dead branch halfway up. Hus?
ter was making such a racket that he
didn't hear Whitefoot's little claws on
the bark of thp tit".- ?'?; he climbed.]
Once inside that hollow branch, White
foot poked his head out, looked down
and grinned to see how hard Buster j
Bear was working ?'or nothing. He was ;
no longer afraid. He had fooled great j
big Buster Bear.

Philadelphia facing one of the worst
orgies of crime in its history and with
sensational jewel thefts during the last
two weeks totaling $500,000, a new
chapter was added to-day when a pearl
necklace and other jewels worth in the |
neighborhood of $25,000 were stolen I
from the home of Mrs. A. J. Antclo j
Devereaux, a prominent society woman,
at Orland, Pa.
Thin, coming on top of the $.100,000 ?

marriage was one #of Philadelphia's ?
i most beautiful women, daughter of i
Mrs. Alexander Van Rensselaer and i
heiress to more than $1,000,000. Mr. !

poloists and a prominent clubman.
Mrs. Devcreaux last saw the neck- ?
lace Monday. She missed it Tuesday '
morning. There had been no guests in i
the house Monday night. It is believed !
a robber reached a window by mean? I
of a ladder while a companion stood I
guard.
Tlie articles stolen included a dia?
mond barpin worth $3,000, which Mrs.
Devereaux once lost in Dark Harbor, I
Me., but. later recovered.
The stolen jewels had been in a bu- ,

room. There were no indications of I
forcible entry about the home.

< Finn h i ?tur. Inquiry as Expected >
?pce^al Dispatch to The, Tribune
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Oct. 22.
? Contrary to expectation, the Extraor- j
dinary Grand Jury, which has been !
investigating alleged gambling in Sara- !
toga County, by direction of Governor]
Smith, for the last two months, did not
make public, its findings to-day. Thir- j
teen indictments were returned late j
yesterday afternoon, at which time !
Deputy Attorney W. S. Bascom, *vho is ?
conducting the inquiry into vu'e con- ?
ditions, requested Supreme Court Jus-j
tice Whitmyer to seal the indictments ,
until the defendants could be appre-I
bended and arraigned. The court .
granted the request.
Since the jury began its investiga-]
tion twenty-eight indictments have !
been found by the investigating body.j
the majority being against alleged
gamblers. It is understood, however,
that the work of the jury has not been,
completed and that the returns yester- |

Levy to Answer Charges
High Court Holds Lower Tribu?
nal Has Jurisdiction
The Court of Appeals in Albany yes
terday sustained the Appellate Divi- I
sion of the First Department in refus- i
ing to dismiss the charges presented ]
against Justice Aaron J. Levy of the |
Municipal Court and president of the
Board of Municipal Court Justices.
Several labor union officials had j
charged that the justice was actively j
interested in a business concern while ]
a member of the bench, contrary to i
the law. Justice Levy asked dismissal !
of the charges on the ground of lack :
of jurisdiction. The Appellate Divi- j
sion decided it had the necessary juris- i
diction, which view is now sustained j
by the Court of Appeals. This means ,
that Justice Levy will have to defend
himself against the charges.

What seems to be
a full-grown man
is often only an overgrown
youth being mothered by a roble
woman who has accepted her
lot in the same way as she ac?
cepted motherhood when she
became willing to give her own
life for another.
In the rush of activities of life
how little we realize the unsel?
fishness and surrender of a
whole selfhood to a single idea
to make possible a chosen
career.
All day long that lonely light?
house, bleached and battered by
years of storm, stands firmly
upon a bleak coast and makes
no sign, but in the dark nights
every other minute it flashes its
clear light afar over the wild,
angry sea.
Brighter than the lighthouse
service is the revelation of the
love of a woman who lives her
life through her man.
This Store has its own life,
and there was never a better
time to show it than in these
days, when, like a lighthouse, we
shall burn an upright light to
keep people off the rocks and
the shifting sands of speculation
and away from the dangers of
the mismarking of prices in the
face of a changing market.
We could very well prove, if
necessary, that we shall keep
our friends by seeing to it that
they shall not pay too much for
what they buy.

It has a flavor of the good old days to read that vou
can buy Burlington Arcade suits and overcoats for $39.50
$44.50, $48.50, $54.50, $58.50. In May of this year (and
for months afterwards) we were selling the same grades
of suits and overcoats for $55 ?Lc $82.50.
These new low prices are not the logical prices for
this clothing. We and the manufacturers have made con?
cessions?they in their price to us, we in our profits. We
believe that some time between now and next season prices
are coming down. So do you. You have been waiting for
prices to come down. We couldn't wait, because we had to
have clothing to sell to our
customers who came in
frorri day to day. And the
prices at which we sold it
were the logical prices.
But we finally decided to
anticipate the drop in
prices. We conferred with
our manufacturers. We
canvassed the field thor?
oughly. We believe we have
cut our prices clown to the
prices that will prevail
next season. Many tell us
we have gone BELOW any
prices that can possibly
prevail next season. No?
body has told us the con?
trary.

The Music of the Piano
is the Best Music for the Home
We have given our profoundest thought to the development
of good music-producing instruments, to the reasonable pricing of
them, and to the arrangement of convenient terms of purchase.
In order to do this right, we found it desirable .to go into the
business of building pianos ; and today
We Operate. Three Factories
each producing instruments that are leaders in their particular
classes?
the SCHOMACKER, the EMERSON, and the LINDEMAN*
We also sell other pianos?
The MARSHALL & WENDELL, the AUTO PIANO.
The J. C. Campbell, and the CELEBRATED KNABE.
The famous little BRAMBACH grand.
We encourage the development of ALL piano-building.
We are sole New York agents for the CHICKERING piano,
America's oldest, America's best.
And we are one of but two houses in New York which have the
honor of selling the AMPICO Reproducing Piano.
No other house in the country has so large an assortment of
good pianos, player-pianos, and Reproducing Pianos?more than 90
makes, styles, sizes and grades to choose from.
Prices range from $4,35 to $3,500. Convenient terms.
ASaleofNewPianoSjReduced
To make room for new instruments of our standard makes,
which are coming in daily for our great Christmas business, we have
reduced the prices ?f sixty new upright pianos and player-pianos?
Prices for the upright pianos begin at $395
Prices for player-pianos begin at $595

ly new instruments, and will be delivered in your home in perfect
condition, and with our usual guaranty.
