New York, April 14.-Tough Tony
MarenO tried to cut through the
frozen ice of respectable society in
comeback stunt on small time-but
he found thumbs down.
MarenO is the ex-cOnvict who was
Warden Osborne's valet and who, es-
Gaping from Sing Sing in January
last, voluntarily returned the next
day to justify the trust that Mr..
Osborne and Warden Kirchway had
placed in him. AS he was very i'll of
tuberculosis, his sentence was COM
mUted by Gov. Whitman and he was
set free on March %.
Mr.. Osborne and other friends sent
TONY to Saranac Lake for treatment.
Unexpectedly he knocked at Os-
bOrne's door at the Hotel Belmont
yesterday.
He said he went to a boarding
house in Adirondack colony, intending
to stay until he could find a room in
a Sanltarlum. But when they found
out who he was the boarders issued
a decree that if the eX-cOnVict wasn't
put out they would quit in a body.
The woman who started all the
fuss, according to Tony, was an
American who had married Japan
csc, but she thought her social status
would be lost under the same roof
with Tough Tony. He was put in a
garnet, but the venomous whispers
trailed even that far and newsbOys
gathered in the street and shouted
catcalls.
