CANDIDATES WHO SUED
 EDITOR WITHDRAW SUITS AND PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE
Bribery Alleged In Naming Candidates for Judiciary In Brooklyn-Three Investigations Are Started Names of Those Who Are Said to Have
 Figured In Bargain

S1O,000 was to go to Queens county, ,000 to Kings and $10,000 to Manhat- tan. It is charged the balance was to go into the general campaign fund in Brooklyn.
 Among those summoned by Whit man are Joe Cassidy, leader of the Queens County Democrats, who is charged with dumping Surrogate Nobel at the last moment and insist ing on the nomination of Willett; Samuel Willett, brother of the candi- date, who is said to have said, pub licIy:
 "Oh, hell. All the candidates had to see Murphy
 Louis Walters, of Far Rockaway, close friend of Cassidy, who is named by Willett as having received $5,000 of the money the candidate borrowed, in return for some stock in an auto- mobile business, and H. F.. Sanford Hatch, broker, who is said to have arranged certain details of the Will lett loans.
 According to statements made by attorneys for Editor Berri, Cassidy. Willett, Hatch and Walters drove to New York in a big automobile on the day of the nomination convention, saw Boss Charles Murphy, of Tammany Hall, put the matter up to him in the right light and secured his endorse ment-which was equivalent to nomi. nation-for Wi1lett.
 According to these same attorneys, Wil1ett raised a few days before the convention $31 1000 instead of the $20,- 900 he has admitted borrowing.
 in addition .tos the Grand Jury in- vestigation in Queens county, Judge Humphrey, as president of the Queens County Bar Association, has called meeting of the association for Thurs day, in Long Island City, when the scandal will be taken under consider ation.
 Summonses were issued today for Cashier E. B. Smith, of the First Ma tional Bank, of Jamaica, and the pay ing teller of the same institution. It is said an effort will be made to have these officials admit that Willett bor- rowed the $32,0OO there instead of $10,- 900 he has admitted having borrowed

 New York. Oct. 31-On the eve of is facing what it's enemies declare is going to develop into one of the great est political scandals in years, and to prove that Tammany Hall has been selling places on the judicial ticket.
 Three legal Investigations were in- stftuted today into the Brooklyn ju- dietary mixup and from the three, some startling exposures. John Doe proceedings have been started here by District Attorney Whitman, before Judge ROsalsky, an inquiry was start ed in Queens county by District Att torney Dewitt, and another in Brook lyn by Assistant District Attorney Elder.
 A short time ago, William Berri, of the Brooklyn Standardization, charged that money had been used to secure the nomination of some of Tammany's s candidates for places on the bench.
 Fo- iner Congressman William Will lett, Patrick E. Callahan, and Surro- gate Herbert Ketcham, three Tam many candidates for Supreme court rested on charges of criminal libel. Beri seemed to be well pleased, declar- ed he had no apology to offer, de- manded an immediate trial and ex- pressed perfect willingness to prove every word he charged.
 The denouement was as startling as it was unexpected. The three can didates publicly apologized to Berri for having him arrested and withdrew the suit Then Ketcham and Callahan, in supplemental statements, declared they did so because they had learned that there was good grounds for Berrrs charges. They declared Will lett had borrowed large sums of money immediately before he secured the nomination. Willett admitted this, but declared he had spent most of the money in business enterprises and had saved $10,000 to spend for campaign purposes.

The death of James North Booth, formerly a town clerk of Bridgeport, occurred in his home in West Haven at 10 o'clock last evening. News of his death was brought into the 35th anniversary celebration of Samuel H. Harris I. O. O. F. lodge rooms late at night. Widespread were the express sions of genuine grief at his demise.
 MT. Booth resided in Bridgeport for many years. He was a tool black smith. Coming to Bridgeport from Derby he entered the Bridgeport Brass Go. and remained there for about 20 years.

Fearing Abandonment, Pretty Waitress Takes
 Deadly D1Nught of Acid
Continued from Page 1.)

The Rowland Eirrs people live in Congress street. For several months she had not lived at home. She work ed lately in the depot restaurant and roomed at 90 Courtland street. The name of the man who was with her is unknown to the authorities who are investigating.
 He appeared at the emergency hos- pital at 1e:30 this morning and ask ed that the ambulance corps be sent at once to 90 Courtland street, just around the corner from the Police & Charities building, where girl had attempted suicide.
 While the doctor was working on the unconscious girl, the man said they had been together for some time, that the girl recently threatened sui eide when she talked of their rela- tions, and that only a week ago he had dashed bottle of poison from her hand.
 This morning the girl entered the Cyrus Pharmacy, Courtland street and quently for soda and candy, and pur- chased an ounce of carbolic acid from a clerk with whom she had a speak ing acquaintance.
 He asked her if she knew it's dan- ger, and smilingly she said she did. He gave her the acid without further barley, and she returned home.
 The man says he was sleeping when he was aroused by the fall of the girl in the bedroom, and her screams. He shouted for help, and while the others were trying to aid the girl he dressed hastily and rushed to the emergency hospital.
 The girl, according to his story, fear ed the shame of approaching mat@- nifty and sought to hide her disgrace in suicide. At the hospital late to- day she was reported as having re- gained consciousness but was dying.

MINISTER CHARGED WITH MURDER IN
 CITY COURT TODAY

Boston, Oct. 31.-Pale and gaunt from his 13 days incarceration in a cell in Murderers' Row, at Charles street jail, Rev. pr. Clarence V. T. court, before Judge Michael M. Mur- ray at 9:55. this morning. Richeson, through Judge Dunbar, his counsel, made nc plea, the case being post poned by previous agreement, with the district attorney, until Novem- Der 2.
 It had at first been planned that Richeson would not be taken from his jail cell to court, today, but about g o'clock 8 small covered van drove up to the jail and the minister accused of murdering his former fiancee, Avis Linnell, by cyanide poisoning, was rushed through the corridors and placed in rear seat, his right hand chained to the left hand of Sheriff Seavey.
 Not more than ordinary crowds were in police court when Richeson's name was called without the usual gusto of court courier. He stepped quickly from the dock to the bar, where he was met by Judge Dunbar and Assistant District Attorney Livell. The warrant charging him with the murder of Avis Linnell was read in an undertone and almost before the crowd knew he had been present the minister was whisked out into the waiting van and taken back to his cell.
 . While this court action was going on today, the day set for Richeson's marriage to Miss Violet Edmands, the Brookline heiress, she lay i'll in the suburban home of a friend, under con- Stant care of a physician.
 Assistant District Attorney Lavelle and Inspector Armstrong, of the po- lice department, returned from Hyan- his early today after a hurried visit, yesterday evening, in quest of addi- tional information.
 No inkling could be had of what the two officials learned at the home of Avis LinnelI.
 An unconfirmed report said they had gone to Hyannis to investigate rumored marriage between Richeson and Avis Linnell. The evidence they obtained, it is thought, must be of great importance to the prosecution, since to obtain it the district attorney, who wanted the grand jury to report yesterday, adjourned the body until this afternoon. It is thought now that the jury's report will not be made until tomorrow.
