Vanderbilt Died AnERO:
GAVE LIFE BELT TO WOMAN

London, May 10.-Thomas Slidell,
of New York, who was interviewed in
London yesterday, said he saw Alfred
G.. Vanderbilt ON the deck of the Lusi.
tania as the. vessel was going down.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, who could not swim,
was equipped with life belt, but he
gallantly took it off, Mr. Slidell said.
and placed it around the body of a
young woman. Then he went off to
seek another life belt. The ship sank
a few seconds later.
Mr.. Slidell said that he and Herbert
Stone, of New York, were sitting in the
smoking room by themselves when the
first torpedo struck the ship. Both
men intuitively knew what had hap
pened and they simultaneously uttered
the word "tospedo. Together they
left the room and went on deck, which
already had acutely tilted. Mr.. Stone
made for the upper side of the deck,
while Mr.. Slidell moved downward.
This was the last that Mr. Slidell saw
of Mr.. Stone. Subsequently he asked
number of survivors, but could not
find any one who had seen Mr. Stone
thereafter.

CLEARY is AGAIN INDICTED
Man Who Killed Son-in-Law Is Charged
With $4,000 Theft

New York, May 10-William V.
Cleary, Democratic boss of Haverstraw,
who was acquitted of the murder of his
youthful son-in-law, Eugene Newman,
and later indicted under the Sullivan
law, was again indicted Saturday by
the ROckland County Grand Jury at
New City on several charges of grand
larceny.
Three other men, all active in Dem
ocratic politics in Rockland county, also
were indicted. They are Bernard Fox,
Oleary's political lieutenant; Joseph
Felter, chairman of the Board of Super
visOrs, and Warren Baisler, former
Overseer of the Poor of Haverstraw.
Clearly is charged with having en-
bezzled at least $4,000 of the poor
fund of Haverstraw. He was cited to
appear in court Saturday afternoon,
but he did not do so and it is not be-
lieved he will do so voluntarily.
After his Indictment a week ago a
bench warrant was issued for him and
4tockland county detectives came to
New York. At the time it was believed
that Cleary was somewhere in the
Bronx. He could not be found. Infor-
nation reached the authorities that ne
was in New Jersey.
Fox was indicted for perjury at
Cleary s trial for murder, when he swore
he did not know what had become of
the revolver with which Cleary killed
Newman. He was freed in $4,000 bail.
