SECURE EVIDENCE TO
PRESENT AGAINST KETTLE.
Police Investigating Career of Man
Arrested in White Slavery Case.

Edward Kettle, arrested last Satur-
day afternoon by Patrolrnan Charles
hammond on q white slavery charge,
and oWho will be given Il preliminary
nearing IN the New London police
court before Judge Colt next Saturday,
has been trailed by police officials for
the past two years. II he decides to
enter plea of not guilty it is under
stood that the police are prepared to
place half a dozen girls on the stand
to relate their experiences.
Star witnesses for the prosecution
will be May Rose Baker, the II year
old Norwich girl, and Claire Rivers.
Wife of the accused. Should the police
decide to press the charge, it is said
that they are prepared to present evil
dence that Kettle has violated the
Mann white slave act, ana failure to
convict him in the superior court will
result in the evidence being turned
over to the federal authorities.
Claire Rivers has been kept in the
background by the police for some
weeks, although she has been detained
at the county Jail since July, as a ma
ter1al witness in the case against May
Rose DiNeto and Louis Bloom. both
awaiting trial in the superior criminal
court on charges similar to that
aagin Kettle. With the arrest of
Kettle, however, there is no longer anv
secret in the fact that she is prepared
to testify against him, also Bloom and
the DiNeto woman.
While 1t is not probable that all the
evidence at hand will be brought out
at the preliminary hearing in police
court next Saturday, enough testt-
mony will be given to attempt to es-
tabl1sh probable cause against Kettle,
If the accused is bound over to the
next term of the superior court, as the
police expect he will be, letters by
him more than three months ago and
addressed to different Connecticut girls
requesting them to accompany him to
Worcester will be introduced in court
to show that the activities of Kettle
nave extended even beyond the boun-
daries of this state. These letters have
been placed in the hands of the police
by the girls who received them and
have been on file at the office of the
state police in Hartford for some time,
Claire Rivers is well known in Nor
witch and has associated with Kettle
since his first appearance about two
years ago. According to the officials
they were married q short time ago,
Her right name is Margaret Kettle.
put in police circles the girl is known
as Claire Rivers. She went to New
London from Yantic about three years
ago.
The trial Of the three alleged white
slavers promises to be one of the most
sensational recently staged IN the SUI
perior court in this county. It Is ex-
pected at this time that the cases will
be reached next week. Court will come

just who might be present at the con-
ferences in addition to the commits

agent Of the state department in Mex

MANY SEEK AID
OF ATWOOD FUND.
Over 100 Students Have Made AppIf-
cation to Trustees For Assistance.

Many calls for assistance from the
Eugene Atwood fund have been re-
ceived by the trustees, Maj. Hadlai A.
Hull and G. H. Hull. The fund which
was founded by Eugene Atwood Of
Stonington is for the purpose of help
ing worthy girls and boys in their eff
forts to obtain an education. Over
a hundred students have applied for
aid, and it is anticipated that about
one-quarter Of that number will be
aided by the fund. In many cases
the amount needed by the student will
be very small as there are many ways
by which boys and girls may earn
money at school. thus helping to de-
fray the expenses incurred.
The fund is not only for the suit
dent who may wish to attend college
but for the needy boy or girl of any
age who is ambitions and worthy. 1t
is expected that the final arrange
ments as to the actual number of per-
sons to be aided by the fund for the
coming school term will be made
within the coming week.

THAYER BUILDING.
LOCAL AID FOR
THE ALLIES BLIND.
F. G. Leavens in Charge of Work Elk
cepEionaIiy Worthy of commenda-
ton,

+. J. Leavens, president Of the Dime
Savings bank, has undertaken a hu-
manitarian work which is exceptional
ly worthy of commentator. As To-
cal sub-treasurer of the 3. F. B. Per-
manent Blind Relief War fund, he is
raising a substantial sum in this COM
muntty to train the many blinded
British, French and Belgian soldiers
in trades not requiring sight so that
they can support themselves and their
families in spite Of their terrible mis-
fortune.
The blinded soldiers Of the allies are
unusually deserving. Their lives have
been permanently wrecked in the de-
Tense of their homes. families and
countries. They can be rescued from
their apparently hopeless fate by the
establishment Of a practical and bus
iness-like system OF training schools,
employment agencies, workshops and
exchanges which viii create a market
for bltndmade products.
Their own governments, being over
burdened with many more immediate
and vital problems, cannot either at
lish such system of institutions as
adequately or completely as is de-
sirable from hupanitarian stand
point,
If America will help, almost all the
many unfortunate blinded soldiers OF
Tic allies Cdil, villain a very rev
years, be restored to real useful
ness and at least to comparative
prosperity and happiness.
If America, on the other hand, ig-
nores this noble world duty, many of
our fellow-hunan beings. though ex-
ceptfonally deserving OF aid, may be
condemned to a slow and miserable
death Of poverty and despair as pub
lie charges upon their communities.
The B. T. Il. Permanent Blind Re-
lief War Fund, which is already or
ganfzed in practically every state and
in several hundred cities. has been
founded by leading American bank
ers, philanthropists and business men.
Among its American organizers are
the Hon. Elihu Root Vincent Astor,
August Belmont. the Hon. Lyman J..
Gage. u. S. Senator Thomas P. Core
tho Hon. Myron T. Herrick, the Hon.
Robert Bacon. Otto H. Kahn, Whit
ney Warren, Joseph Widener. and Geo.
Alexander Kessler.
Its honorary treaSurers are Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the Ma
tional City bank; Sir Edward Holden
chairman Of the London City and Mid
land bank; and NJ. George Pa1lain,
governor general Of the Bank of
France. The patronage of the King
and Queen Of England. the King and
Queen Of Belgium and the president
of France has been obtained for the
distribution of the fund in their re-
spective countries.

And Wen pass through the portals

And think every sin to doff
But there they'll meet US face t6 face
When the mask we have worn drops

Under the weight of years,

And be seen through their mist of

Unkindness in words or deeds.
Every sheer and every scott,

WOMAN HELD FOR
TIE CRIMINAL COURT
Irene Morgan Sevigney Accused Of
Stealing Gold Watch, Chain and
Money,

Judge William 3. Colt Tuesday
morning overruled a demurrer entered
in behalf of Irene Morgan SeVigney
by Attorney Morris I.ubchansl1y, who
auppeared in court on Il charge of
stealing a gold watch and chain and
50 in money from Simon Ffcks Tues
day night. Probable cause was found
in the court and the woman was
bound over to the next term of the
superior criminal court which opens
in this city today, in bonds of $3.50,
which were furnished.
It is charged by Ficks that he met
the Scvigney woman early Tuesday
evening. An acquaintance sprang up
between them and they spent some
time together in park. After they
had separated for the evening, Ficlzs
Is alleged to discovered that his watch
and money were missing.
He reported his loss to Police Sergt.
Benjamin a. Beebe and at l o'clock
Wednesday morning the latter accom-
panied Ffcks to the apartment of the
Sevigney woman at % Moore ave.
nue., where it is alleged the watch and
chain were found in a bureau drawer.
The money was not recovered. Mrs.
Sevigney was placed under arrest up
on the complaint of Ficks and taken
to police headquarters by Sergeant
Beebe and Patrolnan O'DonneI1.
The woman told 4 citing Prosecuting
Attorney Smith that she found the
watch beneath the bench on which
they had been sitting in the park She
disclaimed all knowledge of any mon
ey, which the complainant alleges he
lost.
A particularly pitiful phase Of the
case is the fact that if the woman
is sentenced to Jail. her four-year-o
daughter will be left upon che mer-
cies of the world. Attorney Smith
confessed to the court that he was in
a 0II3nd9TU dirrnesi+;r,y, of
the child, in the event of the mother
bein gsentenced, for there is no insti-
tuition in this state for children under
five years of age.
