on a charge OF larceny made by his for
mer boarding house keeper Mrs. Louise
Milligan.
Tall. good looking. we'll set up, the
prisoner vigorously asserted his inno-
cence, and In doing so told the police
OF his romantic marriage short time
ago with pretty eighteen-year-old Joan
Shore. who danced the Highland fling
with Colonel Roosevelt on the deck OF
the steamer Van Dyck when both were
on their way to Brazil. and who was a
great favorite OF both the colonel and
Mrs Roosevelt.
She, with Miss Gladys Waddell. had
signed a contract to appear at a Rio dc
Janeiro music hall. They sailed with the
colonel and his party. and when Mr.
Roosevelt heard their story he started in
uuiries which convinced him that that
music hall was no place FOR them 10
60 so he advised them not to land in
Rio, but to go right back home. In the
harbor they were transferred to the
steamer Vestris. on which Young was
then second oficer. The Roosevelts and
the Bradleys paid their passage. The
young women were arrested before tho
steamer sailed. but Mr.. and Mrs. Roose-
welt secured their release, and saw that
they got safely back to the steamer
Young fell in love with Miss Shore on
the return TIP, and they were married
soon after their arrival in New York.
THE charge that I stole S6 worth OF
clothing from that boarding house is
ridiculous" Young told the police. IT

from the time occupied by the higher
court in reaching a decision in the first
Becker appeal, in the event that the
conviction would be affirmed this time,
Becker would not be led TO the electric
chair until some time in January, 1919
