GETS DECISION
Trunks Will Be Sold and
Man May Get Estate.

Through a decision OF Judge
Brown in the First District Municipal
court In New Brighton, last week,
the way was opened for~J. Allen
Fiske, son by a former husband OF
Mrs. Jeanne Alice Marceau, to OBJ
tain valuable data which he says will
prove his right to $3.50, 000 worth OF
property in California. He has not
been able to prove the title because
he could not get the papers from his
mothers trunks which were held for
an alleged $63 board bill at the
Annadale hotel in Amboy avenue,
AnnAdaIe.
The decision was in favor Of Mrs.
Louise Sucker, the prupTietress OF
the hotel. Now the trunks will be
sold 1t public auction, giving the
young man a chance to buy them and
recover his papers. The case was
tried before Judge Brown about
four weeks ago and at that time de
eision was reserved. Mrs. Marceau,
who was once the wife of Colonel
Theodore C. Marceau, the Fifth ave-
nue. photographer, sued Mrs. Sucker
for alleged services rendered Mrs.
Marceau testified that she was em-
ployed to play the piano and in re-
turn was to receive her board ana

played three times In all.

an announcement that forms the
strongest evidence yet unearthed
against Louise Vermilya, accused
poisoner of nine persons.
He said that the experts who
analysed the contents of the ar
senic pepper box had found it to
contain a certain amount of pep
per mixed up with the arsenic.
This is in direct combination of
Mrs. Vermilya's statement in re-
gard to the box.
- One week ago last Saturday,
i'll and under police guard in her
home at AS East 10Th street,
asked one of her nurses to hand
her certain pepper box.
The nurse did so. Mrs. Yer
milya literally sprinkled the meal
she was about to eat with the con-
tents Of the box. Immediately
after eating, she became deathly
sick.
The doctor who examined her,
said she was suffering from ar
senic poisoning. By heroic efforts
the woman was dragged back
from deaths door, and the po-
lice then charged her with at
tempting suicide.
Mrs. ermilya then said:
81 did not try to commit sui
eide. 1t was all a mistake.
"The nurse did not give me the
pepper box [ asked for. There is
another one just like that she
handed me in the house.
"The pepper box handed me by
tie nurse contains only poison I

alyzed the contents of the box,
say that these contents consist
not only of arsenic, but also of
pepper.
Therefore, Mrs. Vermilya lied
when she told the police that the
box was one which had contained
nothing but poison for year.
More women are entering the
case every day.
Mrs. Alice Anderson, Ply
mouth, Ind, arrived in Chicago
today to make a statement to the
police in connection with the
death of Richard T. Smith, the
railroad conductor who once was
engaged to Mrs. Verrnilya.
At the time Smith first came to
know Mrs. Vermilya, he roomed
with Mrs. Anderson, who then
lived at $3.50 addison avenue.
The police today will question
the two. nurses who attended
Frank Brinkamp, Mrs. Vermil-
ya's son, throughout the sickness
that ended in his death. They
are:
Elizabeth Cameron, 1929 Sem

Louise M. Holland, 1912 South

TAKES AT HIFF TO
CATCH A THIEF"

When Jim Antoine, a Greek, serving
four years for embezzlement, escaped
from the quarry where he was working
with other convicts under the honor
system instituted by Warden Baker,
w. A. Wilson serving 20 years for
murder rode a workhorse four miles
to tell the warden and joining James
Lyle serving eight years for horse
stealing and A. B. Nelson, serving 10
years for m~anslaughter, led a posse of
~convicts from the road work and cap
tured Antoine in the Businesses of the
mountains rear Marlette lake. Antoine
enjoyed but three hours of liberty hav-
ing walked away unobserved at 4 p.
m. At Z he was safe in prison after
being roundly abused and execrated
by scores of %murderers, horse-thieves
and burglars for breaking his word to
the warden.
The escape was the second from the
road gang that has been enjoying un-
~precedented liberty while working on
the highways near Carson in return
for their promise not to run away.
The first escape enraged the convicts
who saw danger hat their liberties
would be withdrawn and they swore
that they would capture the next man
who tried to get away.
At 4 O'Clock Antoine, who was work
ing at the lower quarry. saw his chance
and walked away. He had been sent
up for embezzling $500 In Ely and af
ter serving one year had been denied
a parole by the pardon board. He had
40 minutes start and, wearing over
alls and only the striped shirt to mark
him, had a good chance to get away
He took to the hills to the west.
When Wilson, the convict, learned
Antoine was gone he jumped on a work
horse and rode four miles to tell the
warden. Warden Baker hurried in an
auto to the place and Wilson, Lyle
and Nelson led the pursuit.
Every hill was scanned. The state
police took another direction but came
upon no traces. Antoine when captured
was trying to hide behind a tree. He
was seized and brought in triumph to
the warden.
Antoine will undoubtedly live to re
greet his boldness. He was sent up for
ENLIGHTENMENT from White Pine county
over a year ago. After the first year
of imprisonment he applied for a pa
role from the board of pardons at its
recent session. Col. G. R. Reeves, who
prosecuted him, opposed the parole,
stating that it had cost too much to Sc
cure the conviction, to release the man
without making him undergo more
punishment than a year. The parole
was accordingly denied.
1t is believed that Antoine smarted
under the disappointment and deter
mined to esape as a. expression of his
disgust.-Journal.
