ATTORNEY GENERAL ODELL
ACCUSED BY J0HNDEENAN

Albany, ~ y. Sept. 2s.--Attorney
General John Cunneen, the only Dem.
ocratlc member Of the present state
administration, has issued a statement
IN answer 10 the recently published
challenge Of Governor Odell in which
the latter was quoted as having asked.
"If the perversion of public funds,
about which so much was said in the
Democratic platform. has been going
on at Albany during the last four
years, what has the Democratic attor-
ney general been dolngW and as hav-
ing alleged that the attorney general
"is member Of nearly all the state
boards"
Mr.. Cunneen asserts that he is not a
member of any Of the state boards
against which the Democrats have
charged extravaganza and perversion
OF public money, and he declares that
during the two years Of his term as
attorney general he has repeatedly
advised Governor Odell that appro-
priations OF public money made by the
legislature were unauthorized by the
constitution, but he has ignored my
advice and given such appropriations
his approval"
Mr.. Cunneen accuses Governor Odell
Of being more disposed 10 make the
state serve his party than TO make his
party serve the state" and denies that
the governor has followed his Odicia
Idvice regarding proposed Legislation
submitted to his judgment.
or his relations with Governor Odel
and his associate state officers he says
Il have attempted TO be faithful e
the state officers in counseling them nj
to their powers and duties as / an
required by law TO do. When they
have ignored my advice have ignored
their conduct. The attorney general Il
their counselor. and the instances arr
very rare indeed In which he has au
thority TO prosecute them for NAL

that Governor Odell and his newspape

BODY OF MARGARET LYNCH.

Mother Of Unfortunate Brooklyn Girl
Recognizes Face In Coffin as That Of

Cause For Suicide.
Freeport, n. Y, Sept. 2s.-All mys-

In Greenfield cemetery last April, was
removed when the body was exhumed
and positively identified as that of
Margaret Lynch. the beautiful daugh-
ter Of Edward Lynch, the prosperous
contractor of 344 Vernon avenue,
Brooklyn.
Pathetic incidents attended the iden.
tihcation at the graveside. Mrs. Lynch
became hysterical when she caught
sight of her daughters face; but, calm
ing herself with great effort, she knelt
in the fresh clay and with her hand
resting on the forehead Of the unfortu-
nate girl prayed earnestly for the re-
pose Of her soul About 100 curious
persons were gathered in a circle and
more than half Of them, overcome
by emotion, dropped TO their knees
and Joined the sorrowing mother in
prayer. The two sisters Of the dead
girl, Catherine and Mary, were deeply
affected and were about to fall in a
faint over the coffin when they were
caught and sustained until they had
recovered their strength.
Interest in the remarkable case now
will be directed to establishing the
facts that led to the young woman's
self destruction, and a searching in
vestigatiOn will be begun TO disprove OF
substantiste the theory that the young
woman was murdered by a blow on
the head and that after that carbolic
acid was forced into her stomach with
pump. District Attorney Niemann
Of Nassau county said that with all
doubt of the identity OF the body re-
moved the final steps before the next
