Real Culprit Threatened to Ex-

Prisoner Saws

John K. Richardson, sixteen years
old, who said he lived at 665 Sumner
Avenue, Newark, was held for exami-
nation yesterday by United States
Commissioner McGoldrick in Brooklyn
on charge of attempting to blackmail
business man of Manhattan. The
name of the alleged victim was not
disclosed. He is said to be man who
served four years in prison twenty
five years ago and who since his dis
charge has led an exemplary life
His immediate family. it was said,
knew of his imprisonment, but many
of the friends he had made in the last
twenty-five years did not. A few days
ago he got letter demanding fifty
500 bills. with the threat of exposing
his old offense if he failed to pay. He
was instructed to insert an ADVERTISE
ment in designated newspaper if he
agreed.
On the advice of the police he in
serted the advertisement and got an
other letter telling him how to ad-
dress the package of money. He mailed
package according to directions, but
it contained no money.
Richardson is said to have been ar
rested when he called for the package
at a branch postotfice in Brooklyn. Ac-
cording to the detectives who arrested
him he admitted sending the letter, but
said he haF done so for a man who
threatened, unless he did so, to expose
him as one of several boys who acci-
dentally set fire to barn several
weeks ago. - 's''-'''''

Common Law Wife Sues
s'Diamond Cus'' Estate
Hall Promised to Leave $780,
600 to Her, She Says, When
Another Was Revealed

1t appears from a bill of particulars
flied in the Supreme Coort yesterday
that Augustus II. Hall, known as "Dia-
mond Gus" had two common law wives.
The bill was filed by Mrs. Jean L.
Ryder in her action against the Lin
coin Trust Company, as eXesutor of
Halls estate. She is suing for $3.50 900,
which she alleges Hall said he would
leave to her in his will in considera-
tlon of her promise not to sue for
damages when she discovered he had
another common law wife
Hail. using the name of Sherwood
according to Mrs. Ryder, entered into
a common law marriage with the plain
TIT and for two years they lived to-
gether as husband and wife Then
sne discovered that the name of her
husband WAS Hall and that he had an
other wife.
In the presence of four witnesses,
Mrs Ryder says, Hall promised to leave
her Sl50,000 in his will. 1t is alleged
he even showed her a will containing
this provision, but the document has
not come to light. Mrs. Ryder says
She is entitled to the money from
Halls estate.
Mrs. Emma Hall, the other wife of
diamond Gus" sued him for a sepa-
ration. lie set up the common law
marriage, contending she could not
sue HIM for separation under such
marriage. The court decided against
Hall, awarding a decree to the wife.
Halls nickname came from his fad
of collecting and wearing diamonds.
One gem in his collection was valued
at S250000.

Seven Jurors Settle
Death Suit by Junket
Unusual Procedure Brings
About Payment of $4,000
by Railway

Seven earnest jurors in the Queens
Supreme Court yesterday caused the
abrupt termination of the suit for
$4,000 brought by Mrs. Margaret
Vernava against the Long Island Rail-
road for the death of her son Rocco.
They blandly announced to the court
that they had visited the scene of the
accident, talked to persons who had
witnessed it and had come to a definite
DECISION among themselves.
When the case was brought to trial
Justice Fawcett asked the jury if they
desired to be sent to the scene of the
accident in a body. They said thew
didn't. When it was brought out how
the boy had been crossing the tracks
at Corona and had been wedeed in be-
tween them and killed by a passing
train seven Of the jurors became more
interested.
1--WE have gained impressions that
Wall aid us in coming to a conclus on"
they told Justice Fawcett yesterday
Ihe Justice immediately suspended
court proceedings and suggested that
attorneys for the plaintiff and defend
ant see if they could not reach an
agreement out of court. After a con-
ference the railroad settled for $4,000
II have no doubt" said Justice Faw-
cett to the ambitious jurymen, that
you acted with the very best inten-
tlons, but you have created q situation
here where either attorney could have
asked for the withdrawal of Juror
and had the case declared a mistrial
1t would have been better had YOU
accepted the suggestion of the court
and viewed the scene as a body"

Police SQuelch
Radical Meetinq
Communists Turned Back
From H%l Where Citlo,o
and Larkin We're Billed

Members of the Communist party
who set out last night to attend the
advertised mass meeting of their
organization at London Casino, 1851
Third Avenue, found that police re-
serves had got there first.
The police, under Inspector Savage
and Captain Mahoney, were called upon
to intervene by District Attorney
Francis Martin of the Bronx, after he
had been apprised that the speakers
at the projected meeting were to be
Jim Larkin and Benjamin Gitlow, both
out on bail charged with criminal
anarchy, and Morris Fucker, who is
facing a twenty-year sentence in At
lanta. None Of these appeared at the
Gordon the police threw around the
building at o'clock
Several attempts made by the
thwarted communists to conduct open
air meetings in the neighborhood were
broken up by the police.
District Attorney Martin announced
last night that he intended to call a
meeting of all dance and meeting hall
proprietors in the Bronx and request
them to give him their support in
closing all halls to the communists. If
he is unable to obtain their co6pera-
ton, he says that he will ask the po-
lice to arrest all proprietors who rent
their halls to the members of the
party. He bases his action on the re-
cent declaration of Chief Magistrate
McAdoo, that the tenets of communism
violate the law.

Skyscraper Fire
Halts Traffic i'm
Street and Tube
Rush Hour Crowds Barred
From Broadway and Sixth
Av. as 42d Street Building
Burns; Shuttle Congested

Forty second Street, between Broad
way and Sixth Avenue, was closed to
traffic during the height of the rush
hour last evening by a fire that burned
out the eighth floor of the thirty story
Bush Terminal Building, at 1870 West
Fortysccond Street.
The blaze was caused by candles used
for illumination in obedience to the
coal conservation order. and was fed
by the exhibit of furniture and house
furnishings that occupies the entire
eighth floor SO hot were the flames
that window glass melted Fire Chief
kenlon said that if the building had
not been modern fireproof structure
II must inevitably have been demol-
ished.
The fire seems to have gathert
great headway before it set off the au-
tomato alarms in the building f. w.
McConeghy, house detective, was re-
turning from supper about o'clock,
when the alarms began to sound He
immediately sent in box alarm On
the arrival of Kenlon second alarm
was turned in
Inc halls and elevator shafts of the
structure filled rapidly with smoke.
Two elevator runners, william Burns
and James Moore, braved the choking
clouds and kept their cars in action,
carrying hundreds from the building.
Others escaped by way of the fireproof
sta,rways. No one was injured.
On the arrival of firemen the stand
pipes on the eighth floor were called
into service, and in addition water
tower attacked the blaze from the out
side. Police reserves. aided by several
mounted men, fought to stem the late
afternoon crowd that pours across
Forty second Street and finally man
aged to sweep the block between Sixth
Avenue and Broadway clear
In consequence Broadway and Forty
second Street crosstown cars were
stalled by the score. The shuttle SER
vice, always inadequate during the
rush hour. was unable to handle the
crowd that fought for the opportunity
to get across town. Diverted auto
mobile traffic caused several bad jams
on Sixth and Fifth avenues.
Although the tireproof walls and
ceilings kept the fire penned in one
floor, it blazed so fiercely that it took
the fcemen more than an hour to get
it under control. Fire Chief Kenlon
said that it was one of the hottest fires
that he has ever fought.

Order Sought to Sell
Mrs. Woolworth's Home
Proceeds From Fifth Av. Resi-
dence Needed to Pay Taxes,
ParsOn Tells Court

Hubert T. Parson committee of Mrs
Jennie Woolworth, widow of Frank W..
Woolworth, applied to the Supreme
Court yesterday for permission to sell
the residence of Mrs. Woolworth at
$50 Fifth Avenue, at Eightieth Street.
Mr.. Parson said that a fair value of
the property is $460,000
Mr.. Parson explained his request by
saying that the estate Of Mr.. Wool
worth, of which Mrs. Woolworth was
the sole beneficiary, had certain obli-
cations and liabilities which it was
necessary to meet.
Perhaps the two heaviest of these
liabilities are the Federal tax on the
estate, amounting to $6,800,000, and the
state transfer tax of $1,O50,OOO, both
of which are personal liabilities of
Mrs. Woolworth and must be paid out
of her estate.

Mr.. Parson said that out of Mrs.
Woolworth's income, he is paying out
$4,000 month for her living ex-
penses and the upkeep of her home
He said the income from the real
estate and personal property is in
sufficient to pay all debts and oblga-
tions and the interests of Mrs. Wool
worth will be promoted by the sale of
her city house. He says he desires to
preserve the income producing assets
so that after the payment of the obi-
cations the committee can provide for
the maintenance of Mrs. Woolworth in
the comfort to which she is ac-
customed.

ham Stern as referee to pass upon the
application of Mr.. Parson.

if we can possibly do anything we will
do it. Of course we are not going
to chase my father all over the United
States"
Trip tc(California
One of the reasons given day before
yesterday for the action of the elder
Benjamin was that he desired Miss Boil
chi to accompany him to California this
winter and took this step as the best
way of avoiding any unpleasantness.
Mr. Benjamin jr. said yesterday
knowledge of his fathers action had
been kept from Mrs. Benjamin, the
young mans stepmother who is in
sanitarium at Goshen, N. Y.
"She has been i'll for more than ten
years." he said, "and while thoroughly
competent might suffer serious conse-
quences if the news of my fathers ac-
tion was broken to her"
In speaking of his fathers earlier
attempt to adopt Miss Bolch in New
York, Mr.. Benz njamin told of the protest
that he and his brother and sisters
made on this occasion.
"The hearing was held in Surrogate
Cohalan's chambers" he said, land my
father gave his reason for wanting to
adopt the woman. Then we put her on
the stand. She blew up in wrath un-

room Surrogate Cohalan gave US

to Park Benjamin here last Wednesday
The lawyer and Miss Bolchi came here
Tuesday and left twenty-four hours
later as father and daughter.
w. Alfred Valentine appeared as at
torney for Mr.. Benjamin, presenting
affidavits and petitions and citing nu-
merous Supreme Court decisions to
show that decree of adoption might
be granted "to temporary residents or
sojourners."
Mr.. Valentine said to-day: at was
not the purpose of Mr.. Benjamin to
secure the decree to give Miss Bolchi
any money or his estate. She has been
in his family several years.
TO avoid scandal and silence the
gossipers he decided the only way she
could go was as a member Of his family
That meant he must adopt her, and that
is just why he did it. l do not know
