BOY HUSBAND WOULD Be FREE
YOUNG JOE SQUIRES SAYS HE
WAS THE VICTIM or FRAUD.
The Youth who Tried suicide I'm lSsbD
Because Leah Maud Decker, Long
Island school Teacher, wouldn't Marry
Him, Deserts Girl VIE and Her Baby.

Joseph G. +. Squires, 10 years old, who
lives in Good Ground, l.. l., with his father,
Seymour l.. Squires, who is clerk In
grocery store there, has begun an action
In the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, to have
his marriage to Winifred G. Squires, who
was Miss Fleetwood of this city, annulled,
alleging in his complaint that he was the
victim Of fraud.
Mrs Squires was awarded 81 week
alirnony and $50 counsel fees by Justice
Sewell yesterday. For her denial OF fraud
was made.
The young mans suit is brought through
his father as his guardian. and the afttdavlt
made by the latter. in opposition to the
granting of alimony. states the circlm-
stances under which the marriage took
place. G. Burchard Smith, who appeared
for the young man, stated that his client
had undoubtedly been grievously imposed
upon in being persuaded to marry the
defendant under the mistaken idea that
he was the father of her unborn babe.
The marriage took place in Manhattan
on April 9 last, after an acquaintance OF
two years. Young Squires was then earn
ing IS a week, At present, he says, he is
unemployed.
The brides father is said to have footed
the expense attending the marriage cere-
mony, including the payment of the clergy
mans fee OF IS and $40 for the wedding
ring
Sauires left his wife on June 90 and he
says he hasn't seen her since. Ills lawyer
stated to Justice Sewell that he understood
that Mrs. Squires had signed statement
to the effect that Squires was not the
father Of the baby. Her lawyer stated
that no such admission had been made.
Young Squires. who is now almost 10
years old, is the boy who figured four years
ago in the trial which was the delight and
scandal of Long Island, when charges were
lodged against Leah Maud Decker, the
pretty schoolmis ress of Good Ground,
bv .Joe's father, who said she had so in
fatuated the youth that he had tried to
commit suicide.
School Commissioner Howell decided in
Miss Decker's favor. At the close OF the
season Miss Decker left Good Ground.
A wear later Joe met Miss Fleetwood, who

Girl Tells story Of One RObber Who heat
Her I'm j. II. PrOctOr's House.

Although the police profess to be con-
fident that the burglar, George Robin
son, who was shot on the roof OF a house
in West Forty-seventh street, near Fifth
avenue, on Sunday night, is responsible for
the burglar scare that has existed in that
district for months. others appear to have
been working the same game i'll the same
dist
Margaret Ryan, daughter Of the care
taker OF James Howe Proctor's house at
10 East Fifty-siXth street, said yesterday
that a man whose description does not agree
with that of Robinson was surprised by her
in that house at noon last Friday. She
says he escaped after hitting her twice over
the head with sandbag.
According to the description OF her as
sailant which the Ryan girl gave to the
police, he wore no hat but had handker-
chief over his face, in which holes had been
cut for the eyes and nose. The man, she
saws, had blond hair and mustache, wore
a black or dark blue suit and was nearly
six feet tall. Robinson is considerably
under six feet and has very dark hair.
Acting Captain Powers and the detectives
OF the East Fifty-first street station sought
TO throw suspicion on the girls story.
She says she could pick out this man,
said Acting Captain Powers, and yet she
can't tell about his clothes. For weeks
two detectives and two patrolmen nave
been assigned every day to patrol the roofs
in these blocks from Forty-second TO Fifty
ninth streets. They, have found several
scuttles forced open, but the thieves had
evidently been scared off or were waiting
to come back. In this case the scuttle
had not been touched. We are going to
keep I'D this watch until this scare is over.
Several weeks ago an attempt was made
to get in the house at II West Forty-ninth
street The police rushed up just in time
to see a man disappear over the roofs.
The scuttle had been forced. In his fight
the man had dropped a chisel. When
Robinson was caught the other day he had
chisel the exact counterpart of the first /:
The police refuse TO make public list of
the burglaries in the district, although they
say there have been many. Detectives from
Police Headquarters are still watching the
dist riot at night, and the burglar scare has
resulted in the force of private detectives
being almost doubled.

THUNDER, NOT AN EXPLOSION
But 1t Took the Downtown District Some
time to Realize It.

The downtown district, particularly
where the stone and steel walls OF LOFTY
office buildings send the echoes OF great
noises flying, was startled at las O'Clock
yesterday afternoon by an aerial explosion.
Hundreds of folks looked up into a sunny
sky and said that something had blown up.
Windows were filed with faces expressing
much curiosity and some fear. Patrons
of restaurants and cafes rushed into the
streets
where was it? What was it?" they asked
But the people who had rushed out from
neighboring places We're no wiser.
Sounded IKE thunder" some one sug-
gested, but it couldn't have been thunder
with all that blue sky and sunshine over
head"
But it was thunder; at least, that is what
the Weather Bureau sharps declared, and
they hit il sometimes. The Weather Blu
reau phones we're vibrating for half an
hour with inquiries. Meanwhile, messages
had gone out over the private commission,
house wires saying that a big explosion
had occurred in Wall Street, and presently
Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburg Boston
and other stock market centres were in
sisting upon Diet ails.
Later there were other explosions, mostly
mufIied, which even Wall Street amateur
meteorological recognized ss thunder.
The storm was northwest OF the city, and
was mighty noisy there while it lasted. 1t

but there was no more than the usual water
