. Sentence Is Upheld to Claimant to
$5,000,000 Estate of Lotta
Crabtree, Actress.
! I By the Associated Press.
BOSTON. July 4.—The sentence of
; Mrs. Ida Blankenburg of Tulsa, Okla.,
| to six months in jail for perjury be
i cause she claimed to be a daughter of
k Lotta Crabtree and therefore entitled
- to her 55,000,000 estate, was upheld
yesterday by the full bench of the
Supreme Court.
After sentence was imposed upon Mrs.
Blankenburg by Judge William M. Prest
. of the Suffolk County Probate Court,
Mrs. Blankenburg filed a petition for a
writ of error with the Supreme Court
and was released on bond of $2,500, to
• go home. She must now return to serve
’ her sentence.
The Lotta Crabtree estate was fought
for by numerous alleged descendants
and relations from all over the coun
try, none of whom proved their case.
Judge Prest found Mrs. Blankenburg
guilty of willful perjury and obstruction
of justice for swearing in court that
she was Lotta Crabtree's daughter.
• Most of the estate of the famous
actress is to be devoted to the benefit
l of disabled veterans of the World War.
MINISTER FACES
EXTORTION CHARGE
I _______________
New York Broker Alleges Attempt
to Obtain $75,000
From Him.
i
• By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Julv 4.—A county grand
! Jury yesterday filed an Indictment
charging Rev. Herbert W. Hunter of
! Hudson, N. Y.; B. Leo Schwartz and
Edward W. Drucker, lawyers, with at
tempted abduction. William E. Willard,
New York investment broker, accused
them of trying to obtain $75,000 from
him.
When he was arraigned In Magis
trate's Court June 3 to answer the
charge of extortion Hunter declared
through counsel that the $75,000 in
' volved was made up of legitimate
| claims, including $7,000 due as commis-
J slons on stock sales Hunter had made
as a salesman for Willard. $35,000
Hunter planned to return to friends to
whom he sold stock which, he said,
proved to be worthless, and $25,000
representing damage to his reputation
< as the result of handling the stock.
Hunter, the attorney said, had last
i his post as a minister in a Pennsyl
i vanla town because of checks which
| Willard circulated and which Hunter
made good.
An attorney for Willard said he con
ferred with Hunter's attorneys, one of
whom read a statement outlining Hunt
er's claims. The lawyer said another
conference later was held in Willard’s
office, where two detectives were se
• creted. Subsequently Hunter was ar-
I rested.
FARMER IS ADVISED
TO EAT OWN PRODUCE
i National Dairy Council Places
Blame for Overproduction
of Butter.
By the Associated Pres*.
CHICAGO. July 4—The farmer must
learn to eat what he raises, the Farm
Press Division of the National Dairy
Council has decided.
M. D Munn, president of the coun
cil, said the farmer himself was largely
, I responsible for overproduction of dairy
products, especially butter, because his
tendency is to "sell his cream and eat
substitutes.”
Munn said the campaign was an out
growth of an emergency scheme that
resulted In reduction of surplus butter
by more than 1.300,000 pounds between
January and April.

fContlnupd From Yesterday's ftar.l
I eighth installment.
The man lay half in. half out or
the fireplace, face downward
among the ashes. His head, or
rather the upper portion of It.
had been blown completely away
by the widespreading charge in the riot
gun.
Miss Weat felt a curious lack of emo
tion as she stood and looked down at
him. No fear. No repulsion. Not even
a decent sense of pity. Was she so
. quickly becoming inured to the sight of
death? Or had the part of her that
cared about such things ceased to func
. tion?
I _ seemed to remember that the
[ finding of her stable bov, bruised and
, battered, in a pool of his own blood,
had been a great shock. For hours she
had cringed at the thought of it. But
. even that had lost its poignancy now.
A.; .or this stranger, it was impossible
to anguish over him as though his kill
ing hr l been depicted for her on the
i moving-nicture screen instead of here
in real life. Yes. decidedly something
Inside of her had died—the spiritual
essence—all that made people worth
while.
"Oh, Miss Ann, Miss Ann!" wailed
Abby. “You look perfectly terrible Do
come away. You can't help the poor
man by staring at him."
"This." said the girl unheeding, and
in a tone as terrible as her look, “Is
murder. There can be no doubt about
Miss Barth wrung her hands. “Listen
to the child! Os course, it's murder
Dtnna I tell you when we came to this
unhallowed spot we should all be laid
cold in our beds?”
“Murder.” Annas*a West repeated in
that same dull, emotionless voice
“Dracula”—-she dd not add “and
Dracula s rider," though that was what
she thought—“must have been miles
i sway when it happened. No one can
lay It to his door this time."
The desperate Abigail passed her
candle before the girl's dilated pupils,
whimpering when they failed to re
spond, “Oh. what shall I do? What
shall I do? My bairn's gone crazv.
And no wonder, wie all th s bloodshed!"
For the first time Miss West seemed
aware that she was not alon**.
“Don't worry,” she said. “I shall be j
all right—ln a minute." And when I
Abigail had done a little more wailing,
, "Yes. I'm beginning to feel again. I'm
beginnng to think—straight. Otto"—
a tear sprang to her eyes—“was not
kicked to Dr. Cranson was I
wrong about his having been trapped !
in Dracula’s stall.” The tears were I
flowing freely by now. “He didn't
know what he was talking about.”
"Don't be too sure he didn't!" Miss j
Barth's relief at seeing her mistress re- j
turn to normal had to have an outlet
in some direction. “I wouldna trust I
that one behind a ten-cent piece. A j
bit touched up here," she tapped her I
own forehead, “but I m thinkin’ he I
misses no tricks.”
Annassa declined to discuss the cred- j
ibility of the absent veterinary and j
began fumbling for a handkerchief.
It w'as plain that a lack of emotion
need no longer trouble either of the
women. The mere mention of Otto’s
name had done its work. Both of
them were shaken by sobs.
After they had embraced each other
rather futilely, Abby took the steamer i
rug from the end of the couch and i
threw it over the huddled form on j
the hearth. “Let’s go out In the i
kitchen," she urged. “Nothing ever
happens in a kitchen." Which was
her way of saying that something was
liable to happen where they stood at I
any minute.
, “We fcmst get help," said Miss West, i
pushing away the arms that sought j
1 to draw her from th« scene of the !
murder. "We must get help at once.” |
“And how are you going to get It?”
l “The way I did last night—stop a j
passing car.”
“You'll have no such bit of luck !
again. That lad was well gone in his j
cups or he'd never have been on the j
Wood road after dark.”
Miss West raised her head sharply.
"Strange that I should have forgotten,
but there was some one on the Wood j
road tonight. I distinctly heard a car
start just after the shot was fired.” j
“And who might that have been, j
I’d like to know?”
“The murderer, of course." Though j
she had told herself a dozen times j
during the last half hour that the |
mysterious stranger had had nothing
to" do with the deputy's death, she was j
glad now* to be able to provide him j
with what looked like a perfect alibi.
“The car proves that the murderer i
came from a distance. At least we
can be thankful he's gone."
“Aye. and no way of stopping him
neether." Miss Barth began, picking
candle grea?e from her bare arms.
“Most a pity ye wouldna listen to rea
son and have a teelvphone put in be
fore ye dragged us all to this God
forsaken hole."
Despite her desire to keep the peace,
the red-headed girl was stung to make
defense. “That's not fair. Abby. You •
know' I tried to get the company to
install a phone the day I signed the
lease. They said I’d have to wait.
There were orders ahead of mine."
"Orders ahead, ah? Mayhap they
were orders nay to let ye have a teely- j
phone." . . ... . .
The girl put her hands to her hpad.
“Don't try to pile mystery on mys
tery. I've had about all I can stand for I
one night." ... „
“But you can stand to see us all
butchered. Twa people dead a'ready,
just to satisfy what your falther would
have called 'the West sense of fair
plav.’"
Annassa drew herself up, a slim (
young fury. “That will do, Abigail
Barth. I wish to hear no more."
But Miss Barth had never yet let go
of an argument until she had wrung the
last word from it. “Weel, the man yer
doing all this for. be he the great archi
tect you say he Is or be he not, Is nay ]
worth the powder it would take to blow
him to Hades. And that's God's own £
truth.” t
Though she obviously resented the .
bluntness of this allusion to her former
fiance, Annassa West's anger died with- ,
out a second splutter: and when the In- .
| defatigable Abigail took up the candle .
| to leave the room she followed like a ,
; spanked child, her eyes averted from
| the form under the steamer rug. *
Dressed, and seated before the kitchen
j range, which Miss Barth took noisy }
pains to stir up with the shaker, the
two women again discussed the best c
method of getting word about the mur
der to Hales Crossing. “
“One of us must go. and one of us f
must stay." decided Miss West. "I can i
take Blue Bullet and ride to Seth f
Toby’s house. Or you can walk as far '
as the main road and try to signal a c
passing car."
“I shall nay go alone, and I shall nay
stay alone." was the uncompromising t
reply. “Think of somethiffc else." 3

Annassa West had not lived for al
most 20 years under the same roof with
the stubborn Scotchwoman for nothing.
She accepted the ultimatum without
argument. ' Then suppose we both go.
Do you think you could ride the bay
mare if I put a blanket on her? Shie
couldn't possibly run away with you in
her present condition."
But Miss Barth was taking no chances
with a quadrupled, and said so.
The girl gritted her teeth “That
settles it. We must both walk. Come
on." Taking a lantern from a peg over
the sink, she pushed her companion out
the door ahead of her. turned the key
in the lock, and set off doggedly around
the house to the brick wall. At the
gate, however, she paused.
"It’s almost 5 miles to the Crowing.
The way your feet always hurt you.
unless a car picks us up we can never
do it before daylight, Suppose we make
a try for that veterinary's home He
told me he lived on the other aide of
the south pasture, somewhere in the
woods."
Abby, to whom 5 miles sounded like
500, was graciously pleased to offer no
objections to trying for Dr. Cransons
house.
"It can't be far,” encouraged Miss
West as they retraced their steps. “He
spoke of it. as being right over vonder."
I Always after dark, the rock-bound
pool smelled of the sea. Miss West
was moved to comment on this phe
nomenon as they hurried past. “I can
actually taste salt on mv llpe," she said
and paused to mend the wick of the
lantern, which had begun to smoke

"Look!" Abby had caught her by the
wrist. “What's that?"
“What's what?"
Miss Barth said in a sepulchral whis
per. "I thought I saw summat floating
on the water."

forth till its rays had Illumined the en

out only patches of green slime and an

They went on.
Lucky they did not have to pass the
rfict barn, lhat would have been worse
than the pool. Something suggestively
j sinister in its stark outlines sent them
away from even the shadow it cast in
• a wide detour.
It was a relief when they came to the
south pasture. Here no skulking form
could lie in wait, no escaping murderer
find a place in which to hide. A sweet
smell of clover filled the air. Crickets
chirped their homely song under their
feet Miss West saw traces of the ti
tanic struggle with Dracula—patches of
turf torn up. the earth underneath still
moist and black Could it be that only
an hour had passed since she knelt at
her window to watch the battle between
the mysterious stranger and her stal
lion? How had it ended, she wondered,
and where were the two now?
Within sight of the family burvlng
| ground the girl remembered about the
; quagmire and Mr. Runnels' span of
j plow horses. Conscience smote her. It
! would not be fair to take Abbv into the
I woods without warning her. Yet, if
Abby were warned there would be no
] going into the woods. Os this she was
j well aware
A scheme at last suggested itself.
| “Abby," she said, as they reached the
fringe of willow' trees, “you stay here
! where you can watch the house. Some
| thing tells me the murderer will come
back to the scene of this crime. If a
light appears in any of the rooms, you
yell ‘O-ooh-ol’ That way. Like a
screech owl. I’ll hear you.”
The Scotchwoman did not seem alto
gether pleased with the role that had
been assigned her. “You’re sure it's safe
j for you to go into those woods alone?”
“Absolutely. There's nothing to be
afraid of. And anyway. I don't mean
i to go in so deep I can’t get out.” Which
in a manner of speaking was the truth.
Miss Barth resigned herself to the
thought of separating, but only, as she
took pains to declare, for five minutes.
If at the expiration of that time Miss
West had not returned, she would fol
j low' and do something, the whole of
which was not audible to her young
I mistress, but which sounded like "Up
root every tree till I find ye.”
