MAN AND AFFINITY
DESERT OLD MATES
Divorce Actions Reveal How
A. w. Crouch and Mrs. w. F.
Deegan Cut Former Ties.

A double divorce action was brought
to light in the Supreme Court yesterday
when Justice McAvoy granted permits
sion for the service by publication OF
papers in the suits brought by Mrs, Jean
c. Crouch against Albert w. Crouch and
by Major William F. Deegan against his
wife, Violet S. Deegan. Crouch and Mrs
Deegan are alleged to have lived to-
eether in New Orleans and later in Oak
land. Cal. They are now believed to be
In Manhattan.
Major Deegan Is an architect and
builder of 8 West Fortieth street
Crouch formerly was n naval architect
and Southern representative Of the
Foundation Company, which has head
quarters at 233 Broadway.
The affidavit OF Major Deegan says that
Crouch, accompanied by Mrs. DeegaD
called at his office early In 1917, when
Crouch calmly informed Deegan that he
loved Mrs Deegan and intended divorc-
ing his own wife. while Mrs. Deegan
would take steps to divorce her husband.
so that the two could be married legally
Deegan said his wife. who was present,
confirmed Crouch's statement5D and
in Leonia, n. j.. SO that she could es-
tablish legal residence there.
Similar affidavits by Major Deegan
end Mrs Crouch are fled in connection
with the suits. the same attorney hav-
ing charge of both cases and the same
line of investigation being followed for
the evidence upon which the actions are
based. According to the affldavits
Crouch and Mrs. Deegan disappeared
from New York early in 1917 and
later went to New Orleans.
Mrs. Crouch, who lives in Yonkers
brought suit against her husband fol
separation, alimony being awarded &c
her by the courts. She caused him e
be indicted arse for the desertion OF
his three infant children. On his salary
being attached in satisfaction OF the
alimony award, Crouch and Mrs. Deegar
disappeared from New Orleans. They
were traced to Oakland, Cal. where
Mrs. Deegan adopted the others nam,
and used it in signing legal papers II
connection with the purchase of hous,
by Crouch in Oakland.
Referring to his interview with Crouch
Major Deegan asserts:
HE told me he was in love with m,
wife and cared more for her than al
the other women in the world. My wifi,
was present at the time and Croucl
turned to her and asker her how she Eel
about 1t. She replied that her senti
ments were the same as his and that sh
hoped soon to be able to marry him, a
she would not give him up. could no
live without him and would not live witt
me. She said she had consulted al
attorney about a divorce and the at

10 PIER LEASES ON
STATEN ISLAND O.K.D
Sinking Fund Commission Or
ders Condemnation Pro-
ceedings.

The Sinking Fund Commission APP
proved ten leases submitted by Murray
Hubert, Commissioner of Docks. for
piers to be erected In the new water
front development on Staten Island yes
terday and directed the Corporation
Counsel to institute condemnation pro-
ceedings. A public hearing will be held
September rs for a report on the Prop
erty transactions and for possible last
hour complaint. On the day follow
ing the city will take possession.
The decision makes certain a long de-
sired harbor development on Staten
Island extending about a mile and
half along the Narrows from Tomp-
kinseille to Clifton. Commissioner Hull
bert's plans call for the erection or
eleven new piers, reaching 1900 feet or
more into deep water, which will cost
altogether about $15.0o0.0oO to con-
struct The total expenditures will run
to $4,000. 900 or SSo,oo0,o00 It is esti-
mated.
The strip of frontage will provide
room for an almost continuous line OF
warehouses and piers from Quarantine
station to Fort George. Both at Clifton
and Tompkinsville private concerns al
ready have launched big pier construc-
ton programmes Pressure has been
brought to bear to bring the city into
share in the development because OF
the fear that unless immediate steps are
taken to provide additional port facil-
tiles. shipping will be diverted to Phil
adelphia or other ports in greater vol
ume than has been the experience in the
last few months.
Commissioner Hubert told the Sink
ing Fund Commission that the revenue
from the leases would amount to ~. per
cent of the construction. The leases are
drawn for ten years. with proviso for
renewals for two ten year periods fol-
lowing. ana are secured by bonds OF
500. 900. signed by surety companies.
There are now six piers In the site
OF the proposed development. two owned
by Michael Brady. two by the Williams
Lumber Company and two by the city.
The leases on the new piers we're taken
by the following companies American
Dock Company. Pier 6; Vessels, Duval &

War Labor Board in announcing an
award in the wage dispute between the
company and the carmen.
he strikers demand an eight hour day
and a wage of 73h cents an hour, COM
pared with the present rate OF 4S cents
These demands, which were rejected by
the public trustees of the railway, were
presented to the War Labor Board on
June 20 and argued two days later be-
fore the boards examiner.

of the joint chairmen of tho board, who
is in Quebec, telegraphed to Gov. Coolidge

Philip Schilling. penitent and weary Of
jail, slgnified thus yesterday his willing
ness to die for taking the life of Lieut.
Patrick J. Ryan, ono of the most valued
men Of the Newark Police Department,
whom he confessed to killing Wednesday
night when he fred three shots into the
officers body In q street in that city.
Schilling is eager to die and get It
over with as soon as possible, Thomas
J. CORDIALLY, Acting Chief, said yester-
day afternoon. Bearing In mind the re-
cent suicides of prisoners in jail. the
Chief has placed a constant watch over
Schilling. who has been deprived of
everything that he could employ to de-
stroy himself
The city is mourning the death Of
Lieut.. Ryan and its citizens are very
indignant over what they term '.the
most atrocious murder known here"
For It became known yesterday that
Schilling had not fred at Ryan as he
ran and the officer pursued, but had de-
liberately, according to his own state
ment, pressed his gun muzzle into Ryan's
abdomen and fired as the officer held to
him. And then as the wounded man fell
back two more bullets struck him in
the chest as Schilling fired point blank.
Almost shot Second Captor.
Schilling ran and was captured later

believed him to be hiding in. He would
have taken another life, he told the DO
lice, but for the fact that he thought
Lieut.. Heller. one Of the hunters who
was approaching him. would look him
over and pass him up" But as the
Lieutenant approached other officers
closed in from all sides and Schilling,
realizing that any effort he might make
to escape would be futile, let the officers
come in and disarm him. 1t was then
that he said that Lieut.. Heller was "the
luckiest guy in the world and told the
officers why.
But for another piece of Tuck" Chief
CORDIALLY believes that several OF his
men would have been killed in efrecting
the capture of Schilling
At the first alarm, an innocent one
caused by a roundsman whistling for
knew the man hunt was on in the block
@Schilling came bounding down the
stairs of house in Broome street near
South Orange avenue and rushed into
the street. Seeing no one he stood still
Lieut. Heller appeared out of a shadow
across the street and more officers
seemed to spring from the cracks ii
the pavement
Schilling talked freely to Chief Cor
bally. celebrating every detail of tn,
murder and seemingly willing to hell
the police make out their case. II,
believes his predicament hopeless an,
wants to hurry the case to the finish.
| He expressed regret over having kile
the officer, but seems to be more con
cerned in escaping a prison term through
death in the electric chair Chief Cor
bally said.
Chief CORDIALLY said Ryan's murde
could not have been framed becaus
the meeting of the officer and Schillin,
