JURY DISAGREES ON MAN'S GUILT
    A jury after long deliberation failed to agree on the quilt 
of Louis PAULELO, 22, of 84 102d avenue, Woodhaven, who was 
tried before Judge Frank ADEL in the Queens County Court in 
Long Island City on the charge of being one of two men who 
held up and robbed John PRANZO, manager of a gas station, 
at Eighty-eigth street and Liberty avenue, Woodhaven.
    The night before the robbery PRANZO declared PAULELO was present 
in the station when he removed money from four hiding places 
in the office.  Next night, he said, a masked man entered, 
pointed a revolver at him and locked him in a washroom after 
he had removed $10 from his trousers.  He said that he saw 
PAULELO when he unmasked.
    PAULELO testified he was elsewhere on the night of the robbery.

ALIMONY BLUES FOR VIOLINIST IN SEPARATION
Musician's Wife Alleges He Came Home Late and Beat Her
    Mrs. Nellie VALDEZ, wife of Hubert
VALDEZ, first violinist in the orchestra at Fox's Brooklyn Theatre, 
is given $20 a week alimony and $15? counsel fee by an order signed 
by Justice Mitchell MAY in Queens Supreme Court, pending trial of 
her action for separation.  The musician also has filed a 
counter-claim for separation.
    Mrs. VALDEZ declared the violinist many times came home at 
early morning hours and choked and punched her when she remonstrated.  
She alleged the beatings took place while they were living at 
1445 Ninetieth avenue,  Richmond Hill, since their marriage on 
July 21, 1914.    VALDEZ said his wife was cruel to him.  On 
one occasion, he said, Mrs. VALDEZ slapped his face while they 
were riding in an automobile along side of a canal in Wantaugh, L.I.  
The musician says that, as a result, the machine was steered 
into the water.  The couple have  a daughter, Rita, eight.    
Justice MAY has granted Mrs. Erna L. PAPEN, of 101-11 116th street, 
Richmond 
Hill, $15 a week alimony and $125 counsel fee pending trial of 
her action for separation from her husband, John Henry PAPEN.  
Mrs. PAPEN claims that her husband has treated her in a cruel manner.  
The defendant is an assistant manager of an insurance company.

BELIEVES DOCTOR WILL FACE CHARGE
    RIVERHEAD, L.I., April 1 - District Attorney Alexander G. BLUE 
of Suffolk County said to-day he believed Dr. 
Edward L. PRATT, a throat specialist of Sound Beach, Conn., will waive 
extradition there and come here to answer a charge of grand larceny, second 
degree, as the result of an alleged bogus check for $153.70, which it is 
claimed was given to a garage owner in West Hampton Beach some time ago. 
    Dr. PRATT was arrested in Sound Beach yesterday and bail was fixed at 
$1,500.  District Attorney BLUE said he was informed.
    Michael PARLATTO, the complainant, says Dr. PRATT had repairs made to his 
automobile and gave the garage man the check in payment.  PARLATTO says the 
check was returned to him by his bank, and then he took the matter up with the 
authorities here and a warrant was issued for the arrest of Dr. PRATT. 
    District Attorney BLUE says his information is that Dr. PRATT will not 
fight extradition.

FAMILY QUARREL
    He squeezed her in no uncertain way and certainly not 
romantically, Mrs. Mary GERNETT, of 266-1/2 Nineteenth street, 
told Magistrate CURTIS in Fifth avenue court when she charged her 
husband, Nicholas GERNETT, 28, with third degree assault.  
The man appeared with a bandaged head, and told the magistrate 
he had been struck with a club by his brother-in-law after his 
wife screamed for no good reason.  When GERNETT promised to 
be careful in the future, Magistrate CURTIS permitted the 
woman to withdraw her complaint.

ACCUSED OF THEFT
    Charged with having held up John MICHAELS, proprietor of 
a restaurant at 713 Fourth avenue, and with having taken 
cigarettes and $16 from the cash register at the point of 
a gun, Frank  WHELAN, 19, of 170 Seventeenth street, 
was held in $10,000 bail for a hearing next Tuesday after 
arraignment on a robbery complaint in Fifth avenue court 
yesterday.  WHELAN was arrested by Detective O'KEEFE, of 
Fifth avenue station.  His record shows convictions on charges 
of attempted forced entry and petty larceny.

BAIL REFUSED
    Frank MONTANA, 30, of 4850 Tabor court, who was recently 
released from Sing Sing, was held without bail for the 
Grand Jury when he came before Magistrate CURTIS in Fifth 
avenue court yesterday on a fun charge.  Because of a 
previous conviction the charge is listed as a felony.  
Patrolman Albert WALKER, of the Tenth Division, testified he 
found a .38 calibre Army revolver, fully loaded, in MONTANA's 
pocket at 4722 Third avenue.  According to police records, 
the man received a suspended sentence on a burglary charge in May, 
1920, and was sent to Sing Sing on an assault and robbery charge 
for from seven and a half to fifteen years by Judge 
MCLAUGHLIN in March, 1924.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY
    Joseph MARROW, 23, of 627 Fifty-eighth street, and 
Frank KING, 23, of 5517 Fifth avenue, who were arrested 
by Deputy Inspector MCCARTHY as they were carrying cigarettes 
and cigars valued at $79.10 into a house at 7421 
Fifth avenue, were each held in $5,000 bail for the 
Grand Jury after they waived examination in Fifth avenue court 
yesterday on a burglary charge.  The pair were held on the 
complaint of James ILAND, of 833 Seventieth street, manager 
of an A. & P. store at 5822 Fourth avenue.

SON WILLED $1, FILES PROTEST
    Objections are filed against the probating of the will 
made by Selina POWERS of Richmond Hill by her son, 
William POWERS, of 146-01 115th avenue, Jamaica, who was 
cut off from her estate with only a dollar.  POWERS told 
Surrogate John HETHERINGTON he made the objections also in 
behalf of his wife and three children who also are left 
only one dollar bequests. 
    Mrs. POWERS in her will dated Jan. 31, 1931, orders 
that her entire estate of $9,000 real and $7,000 personal 
property, with the exception of the smaller bequests, is 
to be given to her daughter, Mrs. Celia BOSSE, of 101-23 
115th street, Richmond Hill.  Prior to  her death on 
Feb. 23 last, Mrs. POWERS for some time made her home at that 
address with the daughter.
    Mrs. POWERS said nothing in her will as to why she was 
giving the son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren 
the dollar gifts.
    "It is for reasons best known to myself," was her only explanation. 
    Surrogate HETHERINGTON has ordered the question of the 
legality of the will to be submitted later this month to a 
jury in his court.

HOSPITAL BARBER ORDERED RETRIED
    RIVERHEAD, April 2 - After deliberating five hours, a jury which
heard evidence in the case of Guy ALLEN, 23, a barber, charged with
criminal assault in the first degree, reported to Judge George H.
FURMAN in Suffolk County Court yesterday that it was not able to
reach an agreement.

Hospital, at East Northport, he is alleged to have attacked Miss Ida
May CONKLIN, 23, of Middletown, N.Y., a nurse at the hospital, the

SISTER ALLOWED TO START SUIT
    Mrs. Mary PHELAN of Lambert street, Roslyn Heights, has been
given limited letters of administration from Surrogate John
HETHERINGTON, of Queens, in the estates of her late sisters,
Katherine SMITH and Nellie SMITH, so that she may start an action
against August HARMS, of 782 Union avenue, the Bronx, as provided by
the State law.
    Katherine SMITH, 42, and her sister, Nellie, 50, were nurses
living at 272 Main street, Stamford, Conn.  On Sept. 19, 1929, they
were riding in a private ambulance which had brought their brother
to an Astoria sanitarium for medical treatment, when at Second and
Webster avenues, Long Island City, the ambulance collided with a
sedan owned and operated by HARMS.
    The nurses were taken to St. John's Hospital for medical
attention, but died later in the day.  The nature of the action or
the amount to be sued for by the sister was not made public in the
application for the letters.  Besides the sister, there survive
another sister and three brothers.

GIVES LETTERS TO SAVE ESTATE OF MISSING MAN
WINGATE Sets Precedent for Wife of Abraham LEVY
    For the first time in the history of the Surrogate's Court,
letters of administration were granted to-day of the property of a
missing person, so that the interests of the missing person might be
preserved and the value of his property maintained.
    Surrogate WINGATE to-day granted to Mrs. Marie LEVY, of 1510
Ocean avenue, letters of administration of the property of Abraham
H. LEVY.
    The petition of Mrs. LEVY to Surrogate WINGATE recalled the
sudden and still unexplained disappearance of her husband on Feb.
14, last.  In her petition Mrs. LEVY has asserted that her husband
disappeared under circumstances that have led her to believe that he
is either dead or being held against his will and kept from his
family and friends.
    Mrs. LEVY last saw her husband at 1:30 on the afternoon of Feb.
14, she says.  He was then apparently well.  They made an
appointment to meet at 3:30 the same afternoon in Manhattan.
    When after a wait of several hours at the appointed place in
Manhattan without her husband putting in an appearance, Mrs. LEVY
got in touch with friends and relatives of her husband, but could
find no trace of him.  Her husband's brother, Matthew LEVY, of the
law firm of PANKEN and LEVY, had a country-wide search made for the
missing man through the policy of every State.
    LEVY was a diamond merchant with offices at 17 John Street,
Manhattan.  It is known that, at the time of his disappearance, he
had in his possession loose, uncut diamonds of a value of $25,000.
    In her petition Mrs. LEVY says the value of her husband's
property, outside of the $25,000 in diamonds, is about $10,000.
    Mrs. LEVY has asked for the letters so she may, during her
husband's absence or pending definite news of his death, or a
decision declaring him legally dead, hold control under supervision
of Surrogate WINGATE, over this estate.

NEGRO, HEADWAITER AT NIGHT, WINS MURDER CASE FOR CLIENT
Columbia Law School Graduate Praised in Court
    Headwaiter at the Forest Hills Inn by night and a forceful,
persuasive lawyer by day, James Stephen GLOVER, middle-aged Negro
lawyer, won an acquittal on a charge of second degree murder for his
client, Reginald HAYWOOD, 25, a Negro, of Philadelphia, Pa., in
Judge Frank F. ADEL's County Court in Long Island City last night.
    GLOVER, employed at the Inn for the past fifteen years and
highly respected by guests and co-workers, pleaded self defense for
his client.  HAYWOOD was charged with stabbing to death James MACK,
26, a Negro, on the night of Nov. 16 after a party in South Jamaica.
HAYWOOD admitted on the stand that he stabbed MACK but pleaded that
he was forced to do so to protect his own life.
    Attorney GLOVER presented his case with an experienced air and
won the praise of spectators and court attaches.  The jury took the
case at 4:30 P.M. and returned three hours later with a "not guilty"
verdict.
    At the Forest Hills Inn it was said last night that Glover did
not practice regularly although a member of the bar for almost
twenty years.  It was also learned that he is a graduate of the
Columbian Law School.
    His work at the Inn it was pointed out, did not permit him to
practice regularly but he took cases occasionally.  Judges
throughout Queens know that GLOVER works at the Inn and arrange for
his appearance at such times where his two vocations do not
interfere.
    GLOVER is married and lives at 146-57 105th avenue, Jamaica.

EX-DOPE DEALER FOUND GUILTY IN COP SHOOTING
Bullet Fired at Patrolman Reed Missed Vital Spot
    Justice proved slow, but sure, for Tony CHIRON, former dope
peddler, who was convicted to-day by a jury before County Judge
CONWAY on a charge of assault in the second degree.
    CHIRON, who was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Samuel
GOLDSTEIN, was fortunate in not finding himself on the way to the
death house to-day, for had the bullet he fired at Patrolman William
REED, of Hamilton avenue station, gone a little below or above it
would have killed REED.
    On the night of Aug. 7, 1929, Patrolman REED, on duty at First
place and Henry street, saw an automobile coming the wrong way on
Henry street.  REED stopped the car which carried three passengers
and the driver.  He ordered the four out of the car.  Two stepped
out, and then a shot rang out, and REED fell with a bullet in his
jaw.  He rolled over and discharged his revolver at his fleeing
assailants.
    Almost two years later the policy arrested CHIRON and REED
identified him as his assailant.  To District Attorney GEORGIAN,
CHIRON made a confession of guilt three weeks ago.  Mr. GEORGIAN
immediately submitted the evidence to the Grand Jury and an
indictment followed.
    Chromate's defense was that he had never been in Brooklyn, and
that his confession was made after he had been beaten by the policy.
The jury convicted him after less than a half hour's deliberation.
Judge CONWAY remanded him to Raymond street jail for sentence.
    CHIRON admitted that, in 1927, he was sentenced to the Federal
Prison at Atlanta for fifteen months for selling narcotics.  He gave
his age as 29, and his address as 228 East 109th street, Manhattan

ACCUSE COOK OF HOMICIDE
    District Attorney James TO. HALL is preparing to submit to the
Queens Grand Jury all evidence in the complaint of homicide as
lodged against Ernest NIETZSCHE, 30, a cook, living at 115-41 217
street, Queens Village.
    NIETZSCHE is being held without bail to answer police charges
that he was the one who hit his father-in-law, Gerard FREDERICK, 45,
on the head with a furnace grate shaker.  FREDERICK died in Jamaica
Hospital on March 19, two days after the assault.
    According to the police, NIETZSCHE went to Frederick's home at
219-09 114th road, Queens Village, and asked to see his estranged
wife.  The cook is alleged to have attacked FREDERICK when the man
disputed the request.
    NIETZSCHE left the city soon after the assault, but a week later
was located by the police in Detroit.  The cook waived examination
when brought before Magistrate Thomas IF. DOYLE yesterday in the
Jamaica Court.

8 April 1931
BROTHERS DENIED BAIL IN ROBBERY
    Eugene (Red) CONNELLY, 38, and his brother, William, 36, both of
397 Fourteenth street, were held without bail for the action of the
Grand Jury when arraigned yesterday before Magistrate George H.
FOLWELL in Fifth avenue court on a charge of grand larceny.
    The complainant was Fred FORSCRON, a seaman, of 8 Putnam street,
Boston who said that the two men took him to their home March 28 and
robbed him of $83, subsequently recovered by the police.  William
CONNELLY's wife, Helen, awakened by the men, called the police and
Patrolmen George BARBIERI and Peter MAHON, of Hamilton avenue
station, captured the brothers after a chase.

ROBBER, HIS LAST HOPE GONE, ENTERS FIRST DEGREE PLEA
Admits Daring Holdup While Armed With Revolver
    With his last hope shattered of getting away from the full
weight of the indictment against him, Amerigo MATTEO, 19, of 888
Myrtle avenue, to-day before County Judge McLAUGHLIN pleaded guilty
to a charge of robbery in the first degree.
    MATTEO was indicted for robbery in the first degree committed
while armed with a revolver.  He had sought to enter a plea to a
degree of robbery below that charged against him in the indictment.
But Judge McLAUGHLIN and District Attorney GEOGHAN refused to listen
to any plea to a crime less than robbery in the first degree,
because the evidence showed MATTEO had been engaged in several
robberies and was the fellow who toted the gun.
    MATTEO decided to take his chance with a jury.  The trial was
started, with Assistant District Attorney John J. KEAN in charge of
the prosecution.  During the trial, MATTEO realized his cause was
hopeless and pleaded guilty to robbery in the first degree while
armed.  Judge McLAUGHLIN remanded him to Raymond street jail for
sentence.
    On March 6, MATTEO, with another fellow still at large, entered
a dairy store at 385 Tompkins avenue and, holding at bay with drawn
revolver Morros FRIEDMAN, the proprietor, and his clerk, Jacob
BODENSTEIN, stole forty dollars from the cash register.

bail for further hearing on April 15.  DLUGO was arrested by
Detective HOGAN, of Empire boulevard station on complaint of Max
KAMINSKY, who conducts a meat market at 877 Franklin avenue.
KAMINSKY alleged DLUGO, who was in his employ, forged his signature
to a check for $45.  The detective stated that DLUGO admitted the
forgery, explaining he gave the check to his landlord as rent.

    John SWEEDAL, 24 years old, of 179 Wythe avenue, was fined $5
yesterday in Bridge Plaza court by Magistrate LIOTA when he was
found guilty of violating the health laws.

                ARGUMENT COSTLY
    When David O'SHATZ, 21, of 51 Varet street, was told to move on
by Patrolman John KEMPF, of Stagg street station, at Bushwick avenue
and Staff street, instead of doing so O'SHATZ disputed with the
officer and was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct.  He was
given the option of paying a fine of $2 or spending one day in jail
by Magistrate LIOTA in Bridge Plaza court.  He paid the fine.

                WAIVES EXAMINATION
    George FINELLI, 29, of 391 Court street, cashier in a pastry
shop at that address, was held in $500 bail for the Court of Special
Sessions after he waived examination on a gun charge before
Magistrate FOLWELL in Fifth avenue court.  FINELLI was arrested when
a .32 calibre revolver was found at the Court street address by
Detective EGGOLT of the Main Office Division.  He said he kept the
weapon for protection, according to policy.

                AUTO THEFT ALLEGED

GIALLANZO, 17, of 177 Twenty-eighth avenue and Anthony MEOLA, 22, of
2917 West Sixteenth street, were arraigned yesterday before
Magistrate HUGHES in the Coney Island court.  Irving TAFFET, of 974
Montgomery street, alleged his automobile, valued at $800, was
stolen from 2942 West Second street on April 4.  It was found in the
possession of GIALLANZO and MEOLA at Kent and Park avenues by
Patrolman FORTUNATO, of Classon avenue station.  Pleading not
guilty, GIALLANZO, because of a previous conviction, was held
without bail and MEOLA in $3,000 bail for hearing on Friday.

                YOUTH DENIED BAIL

restaurant at 713 Fourth avenue, owned by John MICHAELS, Frank
WHELAN, 19, of 170 Seventeenth street, was held for the Grand Jury
without bail when he waived examination before Magistrate FOLWELL in
Fifth avenue court yesterday.

                FRIENDSHIP BROKEN
    There was a time when Thomas STALZER, 65, of 240 Cook street and
George SCHEUERMAN, of Aldermer street and Sixty-third drive, Forest
Park, were friends.  But a loan of $25 broke the friendship.
Yesterday STALZER appeared in Bridge Plaza court to answer a charge
of assault in the third degree.  SCHEUERMAN said that STALZER struck
him with a cane.  This the latter denied, saying SCHEUERMAN struck
him when he asked for the $25.
    STALZER was held in $100 bail by Magistrate LIOTA for the Court
of Special Sessions.  His personal bond was accepted.

9 April 1931
QUEENS BRIBE CASE RESUMED
    Deputy Controller Frank J. PRIAL was preparing for another
hearing in the case of Irving KLEIN, Queens highway superintendent,
again whom Fritz BRIEGER made charges of receiving a bribe for
aiding in the award of a city contract.  At a hearing held last
yesterday KLEIN testified that the IRGERSTAN Realty Corporation,
which he said he controlled, had paid no Federal income tax this
year.
    Among those at the hearing was Paul BLANSHARD, of the City
Affairs Committee which filed charges against Mayor WALKER, who said
the committee was interest in the BRIEGER charges (as written),
which concerned three checks amounting to $950 made out to KLEIN in
1929 by Fred LEDER, who had been KLEIN's attorney.  Checks were
produced by KLEIN in support of his statement that he had lent money
to LEDER and that the three checks represented the return of the loan.

MOTHER SURRENDERS BOY, 13, FOR MURDER OF MERCHANT;  
THREE OTHERS IMPLICATED
Bronx Prosecutor Lays Action to Crime Movies
    District Attorney Charles B. McLAUGHLIN, of the Bronx, is faced
today with the problem of deciding if a thirteen-year-old boy whose
mother surrendered him to the policy must be tried for murder.
    Mrs. Elsie HARRIS telephoned policy yesterday that her son,
Milton, was a bandit and a killer.  She said he had confessed to her
that he was one of the boys who shot down Solomn BALOWITZ while
robbing his tailor shop at 1265 Findlay avenue, the Bronx, last
week.
    No, she told the policy, Milton would not run away.  She knew he
probably faced the electric chair, but there seemed no other course,
so would they send for her boy?  He would be at his home, 15 Marcy
place, the Bronx.
                DRESSES WITH CARE
    While waiting for the detectives to arrive, Milton dressed in
his new suit of long trousers, slicked down his hair, and had his
mother tie his new necktie.
    Milton is a student at P. S. 64.  He said he had accompanied
Myron HESS, 15, a serious looking, bespectacled junior at Evander
Childs High School, to the tailor shop where the tragedy occurred.
They wanted money to buy cigarettes and attend the movies, he said.
                GUN IS BORROWED
    The gun ? (as written) that was borrowed from James BONAROS, 15,
of 1701 Elder avenue, the Bronx, he said.  So detectives brought in
Myron and James.  The boys did not attempt to emulate tough
gangsters.  They seemed not to realize the seriousness of the
charge.  They answered questions quietly and politely.
    Then they told that Alvin BRAVERMAN, 12, of 108 Clark place, the
Bronx, had been with them on the fatal day.  HESS pleaded for Alvin,
saying he was "just a little fellow," and the younger boy was
paroled in his parents' custody when the others were placed in
cells.
    Myron, Milton said, shot BALOWITZ when the tailor laughed after
being told to stick up his hands.
    District Attorney McLAUGHLIN blamed the boys' actions on the
movies, charging that directors are paid high salaries to place a
halo around the heads of gangsters and gunmen.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY
    When he waived examination in the Coney Island court yesterday
on a charge of felonious assault, Salvatore FRISTACHI, 32 years old,
of 1551 Sixty-eighth street, was held by Magistrate HUGHES in $2,500
bail for the Grand Jury.  It was alleged he slashed the face of his
wife, Bianca, 18, when she threatened to leave him.

SENTENCE SUSPENDED
    Found guilty of disorderly conduct after he refused to leave a
Y.M.C.A. building at 57 Sullivan Street, Caesar BERENTSON, 31, of 82
Sullivan street, was given a suspended sentence.  BERENTSON spent
three days in jail because he could not secure the $500 bail fixed
when he was arraigned.

LONG BLADE FOUND
    A blade ten inches long, which he did not use for shaving, was
allegedly found in the barber shop of Peter MOLINARO, 68, at 5719
Second avenue by Detective Thomas Kenny of the Fourth avenue
station, and the barber was arraigned in Fifth avenue court
yesterday as a result.  He was held in $500 bail by Magistrate
BLANCHFIELD for a hearing on Tuesday.

TENANT CHILLY
    It may be spring, but tenants assert the nights are still
chilly, for Mrs. Mary MUNRO, 55, of 261 Ninety-first street, was
brought to Fifth avenue court yesterday on a charge of failing to
furnish adequate heat in that house.  The complaint was brought by a
tenant, John D. McDOWELL.  Magistrate BLANCHFIELD paroled Mrs. MUNRO
for a hearing to-morrow.

PAYS $3 FINE
    A fine of $3 was imposed by Magistrate LIOTA in Bridge Plaza
court yesterday when Joseph ZUCKER, 42 years old, of 60 Havemeyer
street, was found guilty of violating the sanitary code.  The fine
was paid.

WIFE ACCUSED
    After an examination in Coney Island court yesterday, Mrs. Helen
McNULTY, 38, of 26 Lincoln terrace, Sheepshead Bay, was held by
Magistrate HUGHES in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of
felonious assault.  The complaint was made by the woman's husband,
William, a laborer in the Department of Sanitation, who testified
that during a jealous rage on March 31 she struck him on the left
side of his head with a hatchet and hit him on the right side with a
flower pot stand.

PLEADS NOT GUILTY
    Charged with wife-beating, Jacob SUFIAN, 37, of 3002 Neptune
avenue, was arraigned in the Coney Island court yesterday before
Magistrate HUGHES on complaint of his wife, Becky.  She stated that
during a quarrel he seized her by the throat, struck her in the face
and knocked her down.  He pleaded not guilty and was paroled for
further examination on April 14.

GUN POSSESSION
    Joseph FARELLA, 24, of 2415 Stillwell avenue, was held by
Magistrate Hughes in the Coney Island court yesterday in $500 bail
for the Court of Special Sessions on a charge of possessing a
revolver for which he had no permit.  The complaint was made by
Patrolman Joseph MAYO, of Inspector Joseph THOMPSON's staff, who
found the weapon in a restaurant conducted by FARELLA.

    Church and State clashed to-day over the issue of removing
tonsils.
    William H. ALLEN, of Port Washington, refused to allow his three
children to undergo tonsillectomy, because he belongs to the Pillar

NOT A CASE ON DOCKET OF CONEY ISLAND COURT;  FIRST SUNDAY IN 15 YEARS
    For the first time in fifteen years Coney Island court failed to
have a case on its docket yesterday.
    Magistrate George M. CURTIS, Jr., reported at the court on the
dot of 10 A.M., only to find the attendants grouped about the
clerk's office, and the courtroom and detention pen empty.
    This brought on considerable discussion, for the season is
beginning to get under way at the Island, and with the advent of
spring days the job of being a policeman becomes an active one.
    So to settle the argument which immediately started, Complaint
Clerk John STUER checked back through musty files of the court.
There were green-back, blue-back or yellow-back affidavits for every
Sunday for the past fifteen years.
    But there was none for yesterday.

DOCTOR LOSES IN GOOD DEED

detectives found $180 on the fire escape just outside Susie's room.
    Dr. COLSON, who lives at 6 South Oxford street, after making a
call, saw the girl lying in the street at Hanson place and Fulton

LONG SENTENCE IN GANG DEATH

was sent by County Judge NOVA to Sing Sing to-day on a charge of
manslaughter in first degree for from two to twenty years with an

said, "My view of that is hat the jury felt that the dead fellow
would have handed out just what he got himself, had he had the
opportunity.  Undoubtedly that is true.  But the court can take into
consideration only the fact that the law was violated, and serve
notice on all gangsters that their code of vengeance will draw
severe punishment."

avenue, near Sheffield street, Russo fatally stabbed Edward SULINSKY.

SHEEPSHEAD BAY MATRON GUILTY IN ICEMAN'S DEATH
Pleads to Manslaughter as Jury Weighs Fate
    Mrs. May PERRY, 36, once prominent in the social set of
Sheepshead Bay section, is a felon to-day.
    While a jury before County Judge TAYLOR was deliberating her
fate on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree, she brought
proceedings to a close by pleading guilty to assault in the second
degree.  Judge TAYLOR allowed her to remain at liberty under bail of
$1,500 and notified her to return to court on April 27, next, when
her finger-prints will be taken and sentence passed.  In the
meantime she was notified that she had forfeited for life her right
to a license to drive an automobile.
    It was alleged that it was her reckless and speedy driving of an
automobile that cause the death of Giuseppe SAITTA of 1734 Nostrand
avenue.
    On Nov. 22, last, a sport model car, driven by Mrs. PERRY with
another woman and a man as passengers, collided with the ice wagon
of SAITTA, overturning the ice wagon and crushing SAITTA.  This
collision occurred at 4:15 in the morning at Lincoln road and
Nostrand avenue after Mrs. PERRY and her party, on a return trip
from Washington, had spent two hours in a club restaurant on
Pierrepont street.
    On May 24, 1929, Mrs. Perry was the driver of the car that on
Atlantic avenue near Brooklyn avenue, ran down and killed Louis
RUCKELMAN, of 39 Brooklyn avenue.  The Grand Jury dismissed that charge.
    In the days when the Bedford Rest at Bedford avenue and Eastern
parkway was most popular, Mrs. PERRY was well known in the Bedford
section.  She first married a man named McGOWAN.  He divorced her,
and later she married PERRY, owner of a cabaret at Coney Island, but
she is separated from him.
    A staunch friend Mrs. PERRY had in her latest trouble was her
eighteen-year-old daughter by her first marriage who lives with her
father.  This girl, very pretty, remained to comfort her mother to
the end.

LIVED WITH WOMAN 20 YEARS, DENIES SHE WAS HIS WIFE
Decorator Ordered to Guarantee $50 Weekly Alimony
    Thomas M. BLACK, a decorator, denied being married to Mrs. Emma
BLACK the past twenty years when she appeared before Justice CROPSEY
in Queens Supreme Court and asked for a separation decree and
alimony.  He admitted Mrs. BLACK lived in his home all that time,
but claimed she was just a housekeeper and nursemaid to his three
children.
    Mrs. BLACK told Justice CROPSEY that she first became acquainted
with the decorator in 1908 and went to his Brooklyn home to work as
a housekeeper.  Two years later, she said, Black took her to
Westwood, N.J., and obtained a certificate of marriage from a clergyman.
                REFUSED TO SPEAK
    The couple moved to 98-16 Morrell avenue, Howard Beach, and
because of a joint ownership of the property have lived there since.
In seeking the separation, Mrs. BLACK accused the decorator of
threatening her numerous times.  She further charged that for a
period of six years BLACK refused to converse with her.  BLACK made
a general denial of her claims.
    Besides BLACK's income tax report, Mrs. BLACK showed insurance
policies, election records and other papers which named her as the
"wife" of the decorator.
                COURT IS DOUBTFUL
    Justice CROPSEY questioned BLACK as to his income, and BLACK
said he is not employed.  BLACK swore that he lost his job with
Doudera & Co., of Brooklyn, Oct. 1, after twenty years of service.
In accounting his holdings, BLACK said he had been earning $75 a
week, and when he ended his work was given $29,000 in cash and four
notes worth $100,000.
    At the end of the proceeding, Justice CROPSEY made it clear he
was not satisfied with the accounting by saying:  "He couldn't tell
the truth if he tried."  The separation was granted and BLACK was
ordered to give a surety bond which would guarantee Mrs. BLACK fifty
dollars a week alimony for the next two years.

JURY TO DECIDE ON SLEEP IN CAR

Mrs. ADELMAN told the magistrate that he husband, who was

street.  He was arrested by Detective WHITE, of Bath Beach station,
accused of having shot Jack DOWER, of 16 Bay Eighth street, in the

Attorney GEOGHAN before County Judge George W. MARTIN and a jury to
be selected from a special panel of talesmen.

SANGAMINO and another man.  This was on Oct. 26, last.  The four
agreed to meet in a restaurant at Coney Island on the following
Wednesday night.  The appointment was kept, and the four started out
to commit a robbery.  SANGAMINO sat beside RIGGIO, who drove the
car, and DENTISE sat in the rear seat with the other man.
    At 100 Bay Forty-sixth street, SANGAMINO, according to DENTISE,
ordered RIGGIO to stop the car.  SANGAMINO got out, went into a
house, returned, and ordered RIGGIO to turn off the engine.
    "What for?" RIGGIO asked.
    "You know what I brought you here for, Johnnie," SANGAMINO is
alleged to have answered, and then pulled out a revolver and put
four bullets into the body of RIGGIO.
    In the meantime the fourth man in the rear seat pulled out a
revolver and shot DENTISE twice.  When DENTISE recovered
consciousness, he found RIGGIO slumped over the wheel of the car.
He died on the way to the hospital.

SOUGHT FOR YEAR AS STABBER, MAN IS FOUND IN CONEY ISLAND
Detectives Recognize Face on Police Circular
    The long arm of the law reached out and nabbed Edward MILLER, a
man of many aliases, yesterday at Coney Island, one year to the day
after he stabbed and nearly killed a man in Schenectady, N.Y.,
according to police charges.
    MILLER, who is also known as Edward RICKER and as "Yosh," is 27,
and gave his address at 247 Kings highway.  He was arrested by
Detectives John McCARTHY and John BAKER, of Acting Captain John J.
RYAN's staff.
    McCARTHY and BAKER had been studying the circulars sent to
police stations by out-of-town departments.  One of the circulars
from Schenectady  described MILLER, stating he was wanted for
stabbing Frank PERRONE of 142 Broadway, Schenectady, during a
quarrel, and showing MILLER's finger prints.
    A short time later the detectives saw a man who answered the
description in the circular.  They had the paper with them and
questioned him.  He denied it, but the likeness was so great they
took him to the station where the fingerprints identified him as
MILLER.
    The man then is said to have admitted his identity and to have
said he stabbed PERRONE because PERRONE had cut his brother a few
days earlier.
    MILLER will be given a hearing today in Coney Island court.

21 April 1931
WIFE SAYS HE WAS CAVEMAN, BUT HE SAYS SHE HURLED CHINA
Justice CROPSEY Definitely Refuses to Grant Separation
    The only love given by Walter SCHMIDT, a chemical engineer of
the International Vitamine Company, in four years, to his wife, Mrs.
Irene SCHMIDT, of 18 Seba avenue, Gerritsen Beach, was of the
cave-man type, she claimed when asking Justice James C. CROPSEY in
the Special Term of the Queens Supreme Court, for a separation and
alimony.
    "She threw bric-a-brac and epithets at me.  I always feared what
might come next from her," SCHMIDT said in denying the cruelty.
    "The feeling was reciprocal anyway,"  Justice CROPSEY
interrupted.  "You feared your wife, and your wife feared you."
    A number of workers in the vitamine firm testified that SCHMIDT
often purchased candy, cake, ice cream and salads for one of his
secretary's, Miss Caroline HAGUE, of 84-76 127th street, Richmond
Hill.  A floorlady of the company went so far as to say that she had
seen SCHMIDT pick Miss HAGUE up in his arms, and further claimed she
had seen him in the young woman's home.
                    DENIES CRUELTY
    SCHMIDT made a general denial of his wife's charges of cruelty,
and added that he was the one on the defensive.  The engineer said
he had been to Miss HAGUE's home only five times, once when her
father died and the other occasions for the purpose of giving her
her pay check.
    SCHMIDT further denied buying anything for Miss HAGUE.  The
young woman also said she received nothing from SCHMIDT, and added
that "he was nothing to me but an employer."
    Referring to Mr. and Mrs. SCHMIDT at the conclusion of the
trial, Justice CROPSEY said:
    "These two are not as angelic as they each claim to be.  They
made their cake;  let them make the best of it."

                    TWO OTHER SUITS
    The separation action then was dismissed.  Walter SCHMIDT, Jr.,
and Emma SCHMIDT, children of the couple, left the court with their
mother.  The engineer later said he would make application to the
court to have the youngsters visit him at his present home, 107-12
134th street, Richmond Hill.
    Yesterday's action was the climax to two other suits.  Mrs.
SCHMIDT last year was sued for slander by Miss HAGUE, and a jury
before Supreme Court Justice FAWCETT awarded a $500 judgment to the
stenographer.  Mrs. SCHMIDT then decided to sue Miss HAGUE for
alienation of affection.  She served the summons on the
stenographer, but when an aswer (as written) was made, suddenly
dropped the action.

WAITER FACES MURDER TRIAL

where he was arrested on March 27.  He is now in Queens County jail.

ACCUSED YOUTH CREATES TUMULT
    Andrew CACAVELLE, 19, 84-23 102d road, Ozone Park, placed on
trial in Queens County Court charged with participation in the
holdup and robbery of the chicken market at 102d street and
Ninety-seventh avenue, Ozone Park, on Feb. 7, caused a commotion
when he hurled a number of oaths at Detective WOODS of the Richmond
Hill station, who had given damaging testimony against him
yesterday.
    Then CACAVELLE broke down and sobbed convulsively.  Judge Frank
F. ADEL immediately ordered an adjournment until to-day.
    Harry SHAPIRO, owner of the market testified that CACAVELLE and
two other men who are still at large entered his place late at night
and after one of them had pointed a revolver at him fled with $150,
his day's receipts.
    WOODS told the jury that CACAVELLE admitted his guilt shortly
after he was arrested on March 3.  A signed confession offered by
Assistant District Attorney Harry I. HUBER, was also accepted in
evidence.
    When CACAVELLE gave way to the outburst Dana WALLACE, his
attorney, grabbed his head and managed to quiet him after a few
minutes.  It came about just after the youth's father, Joseph
CACAVELLE, had taken the stand to testify in his son's behalf.

death.
