Easton, Nd, June 25.-Acting
upon corroborative information
bearing upon the letters found on
the body of Emmett E. Roberts,
the authorities will tomorrow en-
deavor TO apprehend certain per-
sons IN Baltimore and Annapolis
who may have been in the Broad
Creek bungalow when Mrs. Edith
May Thompson Woodill was cruel
ly murdered.
At first the States attorney and
the local constables, justices, and
other officials were skeptical when
it was suggested that Roberts may
have written the truth when he said
that Mrs. Woodill was killed by a
blow from a champagne bottle in
the hand Of an enraged and jealous
woman. But the testimony Of
reputable persons who saw a
strange launch, a magnihcently ap-
pointed private yacht, in the vicin-
ity Of the Roberts bungalow on
Sunday has given added color of
truth to Roberts ante-mortem olo-
graphic statement.
Roberts a Missing Broker.
It is now believed here that Roberts
real name was Robert Emmett Eastman.
once a prosperous broker in New York.
It can readily be believed that the man
had friends rich enough 10 afford a yacht
Ike the one described.
Many circumstances led to the conclu-
sion that the real sensation Of this mys-
ter.ous bungalow murder is as yet to be
disclosed The tragedy has elements OF
unusual interest. and as more facts are
gathered, it is seen with clearness that
the petite. attractive. and accomplished
Mrs. woodin was to the end 'the woman
OF mystery"
Roberts Killed Himself.
Grewsome ending of the chase for the
murderer OF Mrs. Edith May Thompson
WocdI1 came at dawn this morning when
the pursuers came upon Emmett E. Rob
erts. and in their very presence he shot
and killed himself. It was gray and
foggy. and the first light Of the sun was
dim IN the east as the small posse gath
cred at st. Michaels, crept through
bushes. and stealthiiy reached the muddy
edge of Harris Creek As the men stood
still there was a sound out in the stream
as OF an oar being dipped into the water.
Keep still, men" whispered Justice Of
the Peace Charles ". Wiley. in the lead.
Don't move. I hear something out
there"
AS the men crowded close and stood
silent, with guns and revolvers ready. the
tall form Of man could be made out
dinly through the mist. Il came nearer.
and it was then seen that the man was
upright in a boat, padding with one oar
toward the shore
Tense with excitement. the posse waited,
fearing that the boat might contain an
other party OF searchers, who were known
to be coming by water. But gradually it
became plain that the man was alone.
Trapped by Officers.
When the boat was ten yards from
shore, Wiley suddenly shouted:
Hold up your hands, or well kill your

The jury was out half an hour. and

Immediately after the verdict was de-

sentence both Arthur P. Hs!nze and
Sanford Robinson, the lawyer ana for
mer counsel for T. A. Heinze, who was
found guilty Of the same offense before
Judge Ray on Thursday Mr.. Robinson
was the first 10 be sentenced Judge Ray
said that the cases were the first OF
their kind on record here. He said that
he cid not believe Mr. Robinson realized
what he was doing.

ceedings viii be taken against Mr.. Rob
inson for his disbarment. I don't think
that he recognized the purpose Of the
statute. and I shall recommend TO the
bar association that they forgive him"
The court then imposed on Robinson a
fine OF $3.50 and in doing so said to the
lawyer:
BE cautious hereafter Don't be Sc
jealous in the cause OF a client The law
is the law, and this IS a necessary and
wise one"
Arthur P. Heinze was called up next,
and took his stand beside William Rand,
his counsel. Near him sat his wife, who
had remained by his side the two days
OF the trial She was weeping. Mr.. Rand
said that HeinZe. too. did not know such
a statute existed. He made a plea for
leniency. and Judge Ray seemed to be
about 70 impose a fine instead Of a tail
sentence. when District Attorney Wise
broke IN with protest.
Judge scores Heinze.
The judge then addressed Heinze as

JOHN. STEWART KENNEDY.

The newspapers last Monday made
brief reference to the death of John
Stewart Kennedy of New York, who
was spoken of as banker and phil
anthropist.' There was less attention
paid to Mr.. Kennedy's benefactions in
the accounts of his death, however,
than to the cause Of his demise. He had
died of whooping cough, which, con-
sidering that he was 80 years old, was
unusual.
1t developed when Mr.. Kennedys
will was filed for probate yesterday
that he was much more of a philanthro-
pist than the brief notices following
his death would indicate. In his will
bequests of more than S25,000,000 to
religious, charitable and educational
institutions were made, forming the
largest single contribution of it's kind
ever made. Sixty different institutions
were remembered in the will with
sums ranging from $4,000 to $2,250,-
900. In addition there were many be-
quests of from $4,000 to $4,000 to
New York's religious and charitable
organizations. All of the testator's
employees received gifts of from $500
to $4,000 each.
Mr.. Kennedy, it seems, was one OF
those men who dispensed charity
quietly and without ostentation. For
years his gifts had been measured In
millions, but his way of doing good
was so quiet that the public heard lit
tie about him.
It Is safe to say that when future
reference is made to the late Mr. Ken
nedy he will be spoken of, not as the
octogenarian who died of the whoop-
ing cough, but as one of the worlds
greatest philanthropists, whose deeds
were the greater because Of the true
charity displayed in the giving.
