ming Doyle Murder.

Owen Madden, convicted Of man.
slaughter in the first degree in con-
nection with the shooting OF Patsy
Doyle, was sentenced yesterday by
Judge Mott In General Sessions to a
term of from ten to twenty years in
Sing Sing at hard labor. In passing
sentence Judge Mott said:
This is the third conviction in the
case Of the murder OF Patsy Doyle.
The sentence is going to be such that
I hope it will be a warning to men OF
Madden's class. He had all the advan-
tages of an education in this city, but
he dsregarded them. lie belongs to a
class that has for years terrorized the
section in which he lives and has been
a pest and an annoyance to God-fear-
ing and honest citizens"
Madden's conviction was due largely
TO the testimony of Frieda Homer
and Margaret Everdeane, who testified
about Madden's gang activities. Two
of his friends, Arthur Bieler and
Thomas McArdle, are serving long
terms in Sing Sing for the shooting OF
Doyle They took the stand in Mad

JAIL FOR FAKE STUDENT.
Stole Books from Columbia
Men Because of Hard Times.

Arnold Alex Aliens, the bogus Colum-
bia University student charged with
stealing books from students, was sent
10 the Elmira Reformatory yesterday
by Judge Mott in the Court of General
Sessions.
Aliens, when he pleaded guilty, said
he had been driven to steal by hard
times. He admitted posing as stu,
dent of the university and said he had
attended some OF the lectures to make
this subterfuge appear genuine.
When arrested Aliens had a long list
of names, beside some of which were
marked "out." Investigation showed
that those SO marked had been robbed.

SLAYER OF WOMAN
LEFT CAP BEHIND
Jersey Police Have Clew
to Murder of 73-Year-
Old Victim.

Spring Lake, n. j., June s.-The po-
lice have sent a request to the South
Jersey authorities to arrest a Pole,
whose name is not known here, but
whose cap, they say, was found near
a couch in which the dead body of
Miss Jane Aker was discovered in her
lonely home, west of here.
Local officials believe that the WON
an. who was seventy three years old,
was assaulted and then strangled to
death. Her home is half a mile from
the nearest house, and il is thought
that the attack took place last Friday,
as she had not been seen since that
day. Her chickens. confined for four
days, were almost famished when the
door 10 their house was opend this
afternoon.
Late last night Mrs Frederick Me-
gilland and her daughter, Elizabeth,
went TO Miss Aker's home. When their
knock at the door was unanswered they
glanced through a window and saw
the dead woman's body on a couch.
An autopsy performed by County
Physician Harry L. Neafe this after
noon showed signs of an assault, and
the authorities are unable to explain
several burns on the woman's chest
and arms. Miss Aker had marks of
blood on her face, which had been
blackened by strangulation.
In their investigation the county au-
thorities picked up the cap not far
from the couch. They say il had been
worn by a Pole, about forty-fve years
old. who asked the contractor by whom
he was employed for his pay last
Thursday At the time he mentioned
that he intended to 60 away. But as
late as this morning he was in Glen
dola, the little town where Miss Aker
lived. He was last seen as he boarded
a southbound train. He is thought to
have fed to some part of the pine belt.
That robbery was not the motive for
the attack is evident. for Miss Aker
had been supported by the overseer Of
the township.

that groceries be sent to them. A
