Mystery Still Veils Vanished Judge
BY PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service Writer
NEW YORK. Sept. 27—A tall,
powerful man of middle age and
graying hair, wearing hom-rimmed
glasses and a well deserved air of
respectability, walked out of a little
restaurant in the Broadway theatri
cal district on the evening of August
6 and left behind him the most be
wildering mystery New York has
faced in a decade.
At that moment, -upreme Court
Justice Joseph Force Crater van
ished like a wraith. Not until re
cently, when he failed to rppear on
his bench at the opening of a court
session, was his disappearance al
lowed to be known. But friends
and police previously had instituted
a search, which by now has extend
ed throughout this continent and to
Europe.
Evidence is not lacking. In fact,
hao less significant or fewer aston
ishing facts been brought to light
regarding the life of the prominent
jurist, tfhe puzzle might now be
solved. But police seemingly have
reached their wits' end. The trail
has been lost in a welter of con
flicting clues.
Many Opposing Views
Kidnaping —amnesia —murder—
voluntary disappearance—a love
triangle—any of these might be
the correct solution. Theories in
which each possibility has been
advanced have contained sufficient
evidence to give credence to every
o:> in turn. There are suggestions
of scandals which might touch both
his public and private life. There
are some who belive he dropped
from sight to protect persons against
whom he might have to testify.
But Judge Crater, his friends will
tell you—and he had many promi
nent intimates—just wasn't the sort
who could do any of those things,
even the last named sacrificial ges
ture. which would ruin his beloved
career.
Judge Crater was appointed to
the Supreme Court on April 9 bv
Governor Roosevelt to fill the un
expired term of a retried justice.
The appointment was widely praised
and Judg* Crater, a Democratic
leader, seemed surely to be destined
for nomination and election to a
14-year term on the bench. This
would have brought him a total of
$350,000 in salary.
A Prominent Lawyer
Only 41 years old and rearing
the peak of a brilliant legal ca
reer, Judge Crater was held in high
esteem. He apparently was happily
married, though childless. His home
life was typical of the busy, suc
cessful and contented man. Before
hi? elevation to the bench h"* spent
three or four nights each week lec
turing on law at two universities.
Vanished for nearly six weeks without a single tangible trace of his
whereabouts. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater, pictured
above with Mrs. Crater, is the object of an international search. His
wife of fifteen years has been unable to aid investigators who are
seeking to trace the prominent jurist fro mth night he walked, alon.e
out of a Broadway restaurant, nto oblivion.
He had no proven enemies.
Yet he disappeared as complet
aly as if he had been swept out to
sea There are few. however, who
believe he met with an accident,
such as drowning or death at the
hands of thugs. Because Judge,
j Crater knew that he was going away
j Under what persuasion or threat,!
or to what fate, police can only guess
But he knew.
When Judge Crater returned tn
New York early last month after
visiting his wife in a Maine resort.
1 he drew $5150 from his accounts
I in two banks, told his confidential,
secretary that he might go for a:
, swim, packed a brief case full of
i confidential papers, and left the of
* fice. The following evening, that of
August 6. he is known to have
bought one ticket for a theatrical
performance and to have taken a
taxi from the restaurant where he
dined.
Sensation-Seekers Busy
No one is known to have seen the
jurist thereafter. The theater tick
et was used. Police .nethodicall}
checked up every taxicab in New
York, without result. Then publi
city seekers by the dozen, as well
as mistakenly helpful persons, drag
ged many an odorous allegation
across the trail.
Broadway night clubs, languishing
under a dull season, claimed the
patronage of Judge Crater Caba

pictures in the tabloids before or
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN LAW
IN POLL TAXES ARE LISTED
several important changes have
been made in the laws governing
the issuance of poll taxes. The
interpretation of these new rulings,
us given out by the county attor
ney’s office, are set out bc’ow. Poll
tax^s arc now on sale in Cameron
county.
Increases in population and en
actment of new legislation have
made several changes irj the man
ner of issuing poll taxes. With the
official entry of Harlingen and
San Benito into the class of citie'
having a population of 10.000 or
mere, residents of such cities }
which Inc udes Brownsville, come
within the scope of certain
provisions of the law to r’hich they
have not heretofore been subject.
Payment of poll tax by residents
of such cities can now onlv be
made in nerson. Payment by agent
is not authorized for those living .
in such cities, although it is au- i
thorized for those living outside of j
cities of that size. Also, for the
first time it becomes neeessarv for
San Benito and Harlingen resi
dents who are entitled to exemp
tions. along with those from
Brownsville, to secure exemption
certificates before they can vote.
Exemptions
Persons over 60. those who are
blind, or deaf, or dumb, or per
manently disabled, or who have
lost one hand or foot, are exempt
from the payment of poll taxes. By
virtue of a new law. persons of
these classes can obtain permanent
exemption certificates under which
they can vote as long as they live
! in the precinct in w’hich they are
j now residing without having to
secure a new exemption certificate
each year. On changing their res
idence from one voting precinct to
another. It ts necessary to have a
transfer of residence endorsed on
the receipt.
Persons who hav<* become twentv
one since Jan. 1, 1930. or who will
become twenty-one during 1931, are
entitled to secure temporary ex
emption receipts under which thev
can vote if any election is held In
1931 after they reach the a^e of
twenty-one. Those who have become
twenty-one since Jan .l, 1929. can;
vote in the coming general election
if they have secured exemption
certificates (where they are re
quired to hare an exemption cert
ificate'.
Time Limit Changed
Another change in the law re
garding exemption receipts is to
the effect that exemption receipts

since came forward eagerly with
claims of having last seen the miss
ing man. There were hints of clan
destine affairs, suggestions of mys
terious love trysts—none of them In
keeping with Judge Crater's known
character.
In truth, it has been established
that the Supreme Court Justice was
more of a man*about-Broadwav
than ever was supposed. Night clubs
seem to have been little more for
eigti to him than night courts. Po
lice have been directing much atten
tion to the theory that, somewhere,
there is a woman who can solve the
puzzle.
But that woman is not Mrs Crat- !
er. Though on the verge of collapse,
she offered every a:' to the grand
jury inquiry’ and police, but could ■
contribute no news of the man to j
whom she has been married fifteen
years.
Had Planned Campaign
A circumstance rendering the case
even more inexplicable is the fact
that he had made careful plans for i
[ conducting his campaign for elec
tion to the Supreme Court this fall. ,
Investigators inclined to the theory
of foul play report that Crater had
collected considerable incriminating |
evidence about various politicians
for use in his campaign. That evi- j
dence might have been containedj
in the papers removed from his of
fice and missing from his home lie
might have been carrying them on
the night of his disappearance.
No less than fifteen "doubles” o!
Judge Crater have been reported and
traced from Quebec to Virginia. San
itarlums and summer resorts have
been combec.. as well as New York
hospitals and apartments. The Ad
irrndacks have been colonized with
tall, heavy, brown-eyed men who :
look like him. He has been "seen"
simultaneously in half a donen cities
hundreds of miles apart. Several
todies have been found, but not his.
Considerable sums have been offered
in rewards.
Out of the maw of reports, clues
and theories comes one which by the
very weight of implication overshad
ows ail the rest. A hydra-headed
political scandal has broken over
New York City. There are many
who believe that Judge Crater,
whether or not he may personally
have been implicated, was swallowed
up in it.
