MAE SULLWAN'S
GUARDIAN TO QUIT
Termini Asks To Be Relieved
Reported Settlement with
Hoe Denied.

Investigation of rev phases of the
breach OF pro Mise suit brought by MISS
Mae A. Sullivan against Arthur ]. Hoe,
SON of the late Robert Hoe, printing
press manufacturer, has revealed the
mysterious" absence OF Mirabeau l..
Towns. counsel for Miss Sullivan. from
this city. It was said at his office In
the Woolworth Building that his where
abouts could not be told. Mr.. Towns S
office telephone, as we'll as his tele-
phone at his home, - Eighth av.,
Brooklyn, have been temporarily dis
continued.
The latest moves in, the Sullivan-Hoc
case. on which the jury disagreed at
the first trial. was an order obtained b.
Edward G.. Pringle. counsel for Hoe, 10
examine Miss Sullivan next Saturday
before the second trial of the case IS
begun, and the application of Plrlip j.
Termini, guardian for Miss Sullivan, 10
be relieved of that responsibility.
TerminI is an Office associate OF
Towns. Miss Sullivan being a minor, 1t
was necessary to have guardian APP
pointed through whom she could sue.
Termini was chosen as guardian, and
the suit was brought in his name. Ter
mini yesterday applied TO the Supreme
Court to be relieved AS guardian.
lie said in his petition that he had
sent a registered letter to Miss Sulli-
van on September %, addressing her
at her home, 81 West 93d ST., telling
her ne wished to be relieved from fur
Their responsibility, but that he had
received no answer from Miss Sullivan.
A report was circulated few days
ago that Hoe had settled with Miss
Sullivan by giving her note for
$4,000, the note being payable to-day.
Mr.. Pringle denied yesterday that
there had been any such transaction
and said that the case would be fought
TO the end.
The purpose of the order obtained
by Mr.. Pringle to examine Miss Sulli-
van before the second trial is to get
information about the alleged promise
OF Hoe to pay the plaintiff $1,000 q
week. She is suing for $4,000 on this
alleged breach of contract, and asks
$i5O,OOO for the breach OF promise of

WOMEN AS CLEWS
In SEATON DEATH
Actors Wife on Trial, Accused
of Murder-I1int Actress
May Help Case.

HackensaCk, y. j., Sept. IS Mrs.
Alice L. Seaton, of Bogota, was placed
on trial this morning on the charge OF
killing her husband, Frederick r. Sea-
ton, a stock actor.
The prosecution took up the first day
in producing witnesses who heard shots
and saw SeRton fall dead on his front
porch. 1t may be that the name Of an
actress we'll known on Broadway will
be brought into the case before il is
finished, for even at this juncture Of
the proceedings the names of several
women have been mentioned.
The prosecutions evidence to-day
was circumstantial. The first witness
that Prosecutor Wright called was
Charles Wulf, newsdealer, who had
been talking to Seaton few moments
before the actor was killed He saw
puffs of smoke and saw Seaton fall.
John Kelly offered testimony along the
same line.
The defence will claim that Seaton
shot himself. This will be based on
the fact that the woman, just after the
shooting, was found unconscious on the
floor of a room twenty feet from her
husbands body.
It is said that she will claim that the
actor made her drink whiskey and take
tablets earlier in the morning to cure
an attack of NERVES" and that her
mind was a blank from that time on.
Her lawyers will try to bring out
that there had been frequent qusrrels
and that several other women had fig
ured in his life.
One of the sensational features Of
the case is that the man was killed the
very afternoon his wife was TO have
signed papers in a divorce proceeding
against him-a proceeding in which she
named an actress.

SNARLSTO CAYNOR
Elk Commissioner Cites
Department Errors to
Aid HuSsey,
TELLS OF METHODS
THAT HELPED VICE
Late Mayors Rules Governing
Raid Arrests Criticised
by Ex.Official.

Asserting that the methods Of Mayor
Gaynor retarded the work OF the fo-
lice Department and made IL an easy
matter for lawbreakers TO sidestep jus
tice, William f. Baker, former Police
Commissioner, testified yesterday IN
defence of James T. Hussey, deposed
police captain.
The Hussey trial was reopened 20
permit Mr.. Baker, who served under
Mayor Gaynor, to testify. His testi-
mony was heard by Leon G. Cooley,
Third Deputy Police Commissioner.
With the advent. of Mayor Gaynor,
said Mr.. Baker, the Commissioners
ceased to be the head Of the Police De-
partment. The police were permitted
to make no gambling. excise or disor-
derby house arrests without first Sc
curing warrant, and usually the al
legged culprit got word Of the warrant
and disappeared.
Mr.. GRynor, testified the former Com
missioner, promised to issue these war
rants himself, but later, when asked to
do so, referred the Commissioner TO
the chief magistrate. The result was
a multiplication all over New York OF
gambling places, disorderly houses and
excise violations. The late Mayors act
in reducing the number of plainclOthes
men also played into the hands Of the
gamblers, said Mr.. Baker.

Even anonymous complaints fire.
quently resulted in Mr.. GRynor's send
ing for an inspector or deputy COM
missioner, Mr.. Baker said, without
consulting the Commissioner. The
Commissioner finally put a stop TO
these summonses by threatening to ar
rest an inspector who had been sent
for by the Mayor and to produce the
Mayor as witness at the trial.
The method Of enforcement of the
excise law also resulted in interest
ing revelations By the former police
head.
IN let you in on little secret,
gentlemen" he told the attorneys. "If

] would get together OF Saturday and

Der in Richmond. and so on. Then the
day blotters would show that figure on
Monday. We did that quite often"
Any officer in the department could
be dismissed ii commissioner wished
really to get him." said Mr.. Baker, as
the necessary evidence could be Sc
cured against every uniformed man.
To follow Mayor Gaynor's orders,
said the cX-COmmissioner, would have
made it necessary for an inspector to
work months TO get the proper evi-
dence against gambler or other dis
reputable citizen. This. testimony was
in answer to questions by counsel for
Hussey, and tended to show that the
police captain had done his full duty.
Hussey, said the witness, was one Of
the best officers in the Police Depart
ment.
The case was once more closed after
former Commissioner Baker had con-
cluded his testimony.

Rubin Greenberg, Of 223 Boone St.

with aiding Julia Smith to escape from

after his counsel had shown that the
law does not cover the case Of one who
aids a prisoner held for disOrderly con-
duct to escape. The law says 1t IS a
felony 20 assist one accused OF EEL
Ony, and a misdemeanor to assist one
accused Of misdemeanor.
Justice Forker in Special Sessions
agreed with the lawyer, Mark Alter,
that il was clearly the Legislatures
duty TO remedy the law.
The prisoner had a pass for himself
and one other when he went to the
island to visit his wife, who was free
patient in the hospital. The woman
followed him when he left and, though
he discovered the fraud before he
reached Manhattan, he said she plead
cd so hard to be let off that he did not
