Three Men Are Accused
Of T,co Gang Murders
Police Say Friends Of ssTanner''
Smith Avenged His Death bv
Killing Shatr. His SJnxor

The police of New York and New Jer-
sey saio yesterday they considered the
murder of Tanner" Smith. the killing
or Rubber" Shaw and the wounding Of
Chlcky" Lewis, who were wanted for
the crime, virtually cleared up. Lewis
and Shaw are said to have been shot bv
friends of "Tanner."
Two men charged with the Shaw muir
der were arraigned before Magistrate
simpson in Tombs court yesterday and
were held without bail for the JERSEY
authorities. They are Patrick Mitchell.
alias Link" a pal of the dead Tan
ner," and Peter Mcdonnell. Patrick
Hayes, jr, chief of the Hoboken police,
said he would take immediate steps to
have them extradited.
Lewis Still in Hospital
In St. Mary's Hospital, Hoboken.
"Chicky" Lewis, who has been charged
with the murder of Smith by the New
York police, is convalescing. Assistant
District Attorney John F. Joyce, head
OF the Homicide Bureau, said he prob
ably would ask the grand jury to in
duct Lewis next week and then take
steps to have him brought into this
state.
Mitchell and Mcdonnell went TO Ho-
bohen Thursday night last, according
TO Chief HAYES, and called at the house
in 33S Hudson Street where Rubber
and Lewis were staying. On finding
the pair out, the chief said, Link" and
Mcdonnell walked down Second Street
and met Lewis and Shaw coming up the
same thoroughfare, whereupon, Chief
Hayes declares, Mitchell and McDon-
nell opened fire.
Five weapons were found by the po-
lice near the scene Of the shooting, and
Chief Hayes says it is probable that
two or three other gangsters came over
from Manhattan with Mitchell and Nc
Donnell to get Rubber" and Lewis.
One Theory Abandoned
Assistant District Attorney Joyce
said yesterday that the police had
abandoned their first theory that "Tan-
ners' death had been inspired by busi~
ness rivals. Smith WAS killed, Mr..
Joyce said, either as result Of Shaw's
jealousy of the attentions Tanner" had
showered upon "Rubbers" bride of
three days, Grace Madden Shaw, or be-
cause Smith had taken him off the
Smith payroll. Shaw and Lewis were
shot, hs<sddsd. to avenge Tanners"

Slain Buby's Mother Chokes
Girl Who Gaze II Poison
Mrs. Abraham Kramer Attacks Frances Sulinski in
Office of District Attorney; Conflicting Stories
Told by Prisoner; Hearing Set for August II

Rendered half frantic by the i'm
mobility of the thirteen year-old slayer
of her baby, Mrs. Abraham Kramer
seized Frances Sulinski by the throat
in the office of District Attorney Lewis
in Brooklyn yesterday and nearly
choked her to death. The girl
screamed until the strangling grip
checked her cries. The District At
torney and his assistant, Mr.. Conway,
rushed to the rescue and seized the
frenzied mother
Frances, who admits having poisoned
fourteen months old Solomon Kramer
to revenge herself upon his nurse, is
day occupying quarters by herself
in the rooms of the Society FOR the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
while the District Attorney is determin-
ing what is to be done with. Her case
was called in the Children's Court yes
terday morning and was put over until
August 12. Mr.. Lewis believes her
ultimate fate will be trial in the Juve-
nile Court and incarceration in an in
be indicted on a charge of murder in
the first degree.
Two Statements Conflict
The girl made two contradictory
statements yesterday in the presence
of the District Attorney and his as
sistant. They were in effect as fol-
| lows:
81 killed the baby because I thought
the old lady would be blamed for it."
"Well, didn't know what l did.
thought there was cough mixture in
the bottle. | didn't know it was lysol'
District Attorney came to the conclu-
sion that it was the girls intention
to kill BRANDED Nussbaum, the nurse
too when she poured the rest of the
lysol into the coffee pot used exclu-
sively by the nurse. There had been
friction between the two. Frances was
fond of the baby and wanted to care
! for it sometimes, but Miss Nussbaum
who is seventy years old, would not
give her the chance. Moreover, diff
ferent sums Of money had gone astray
and charges were made against each
other by the two maids in the Kramer
household
Frances presents one of the strang-
est problems with which he has ever
had to deal, District Attorney Lewis
says. She does not show any signs Of
penitence and throughout her con-
fessons has been consistently venom
Gus toward the nurse who was the
motive of the crime. She is a tall
girl for her age gawky and immature
Her legs and arms are long and lanky
her complexion is washed out looking
her hair is fair and unkcmpt and she
is badly dressed to a noticeable de-
gree.
Refuses To Be Photographed
Although Polish, she speaks English
huently and with accuracy Yest4r-
day she ratified along glibly until she
discovered there were some newspaper
reporters in the Office. Then she re-
fused to be interviewed or photo
graphed. She is intelligent to the
point of being precocious. She was
put through thorough examination
by Mr.. Lewis, spelled long words
without the least difficulty and showed
herself to be generally we'll informed
Apparently there is not a trace of
feeble -mindedness about the girl, who
might very we'll pass for sixteen years

Criminal Libel Charged
Against Negro Editor
Assistent District Attorney Kill
rOe's Suit Based on Article
in s.Neuro WOrl.l,,
in ''Negro WOrld''

An action for criminal libel was
begun yesterday in the Tombs Court
against Marcus Garvey, a negro editor
of 23S West 131st Street, by Assist
ant District Attorney E. F. Kilroe.
Garvey. who says he is a native of
Jamaica, was held by Magistrate Simp-
son in. $4,000 bail for examination

gust 2 in "The Negro World" state
ment headed: 1.-TWO Negro Crooks Use

Save Themselves,' which exposed Mr.
Kilroe to "hatrcd, contempt and rid-
cule" of the papers public

peared as result of an investigation

old. She appeared to realize what
she had done without in the least
re gretting it. Throughout her ex-
animation, according to the District
Attorney, there were no subjective
symptoms that might point to i'm
becility or moral weakness.
Frances's mother, who lives at 27O
Georgia Avenue, attended court yes
terday and when the case was post
poned- whispered to her daughter:
"Be a good girl, Frances. and your
papa will help you and get you out
on bail"
Showed Tendency to Theft
The girls father, John Sulinski, said
that Frances had recently shown a
tendency to steal and that when he
punished her month ago she left
home and began to, work. She has
three brothers. Herkpcople say they
had never known her to show signs
| of cruelty. She went to work at the
kramers' two weeks ago to-day. She
was a good worker.
IL took the bottle that ! knew had
lysol in it, she said in telling her first
story. ~ knew this lysol was poison
have revenge on the old lady, so |
poured the contents in the baby's
mouth as he was lying on sofa.
then took the rest of the lysol and
: poured it into the coffee pot
"Then you knew it would kill" in
quired District Attorney Lewis.
Yes, | knew it would kill"
"'Why did you want to kill the baby %
"To get revenge on the old lady, who
had called me dirty name"
How could you get square on the
old lady that way?"
Il thought | could get her into
court by poisoning the baby"
"Why did YOU put the rest of the ly-
sol in the coffee pot ?"
"Well, | wanted first to throw it
into the sink, but I saw the coffee pot
there and | dumped it into that"
=, DID you want to poison the rest of
the family ?"
Old Lady Made Tea in 1t
mo, didn't, but I never saw the
kramers use that coffee pot
Did any one use it?
"Yes, the old lady made her tea in
And you knew that"
Yes"
Then you wanted to get rid Of her %
Yes, | wanted to get fTTd of her"
Later ON, ,when questioned for the
secoiia tSne, the girl told q different
story.
"You knew there was lysol in the
bottle and that it was poison?"
II didn't know that until afterwards
thought it was medicine for a
cough"
"Why didn't you say you had made
a mistake when it was found out that
the baby was poisoned ?"
"Well, Mrs. Kramer just before that
said she had lost $50. | was afraid if
told them | had made mistake and
had given the baby poison she would
blame me for stealing the 500
"Dldn't YOU tell me just little
While ago that YOU knew it was poi
sor?'
"Yes. but didn't know it was poison
until after | gave it to the baby"
The two occasions on which Frances
showed emotion of any kind were when
she broke down on Monday and con-
fessed that she had killed the baby
after the police officials were almost
convinced of her innocence, and. again
yesterday, when she appeared in the
Children's Court and sobbed a little
before Justice Collins.

elongated mole collar-a
very practical wrap because,

through the prisoner looked as though
he had been in battle royal with all

He was penitent, pleaded guilty and
