Henry Guilty
In Perjury Case;
Jury Out 4 Hrs.
Verdict Is Accompanied by
Strong Recommendation
for Mercy; Inspector
Reels as Though Struck
Spends Night in Tombs
His Case Will Be Appealed;
Jurynlan's Mother Dies
While Tweve Men Debate

Inspector Dominick Henry, who has
been on trial in the Supreme Court on
charge of perjury, was found guilty
The case went to the jury at $3.50
o'clock.
Henry had charged that District At
torney James E. Smith had come to
him and tried to make terms under
which gambling houses in the inspec-
tors district would be protected
Justice Weeks ended his charge to
the jury at o'clock last night, and
told the twelve to get their supper be-
fore beginning consideration Of the
case. The jurors were locked up at
$3.50 o'clock. At 1915 they returned
to the courtroom and asked to have
portions of evidence tending to dis
prove Henry's charges read to them.
Jury Comes In Again
At 11:45 the jury came in again and
asked that testimony of Inspector
Henry on cross examination Thursday
be read to them. They retired again
at 1915 and seven minutes later made
known that they had reached a verdict.
The verdict of guilty, though accom-
panied by strong recommendation for
mercy, evidently startled and shocked
the inspector, who reeed as though he
had been struck William f. Murphy,
of his counsel, stood by his side while
he gave his pedigree and accompanied
him to the Tombs. Tere Henry will
be locked up until Tuesday, when he
will be sentenced. His case will be
appealed.
Following the achievement Of the
verdict Howard Beidelman, one of the
jurors, of 5O7 West 138th Street, was
told that his mother had died while
the case was being debated by the jury.
Question of Veracity
Justice Weeks, in his charge, said he
wished to emphasize that the trial in
voved a question Of veracity between
two public officials. The public, he
said, was more concerned than either
Henry or Smith.
"If Smith told the truth while ap-
pearing as a witness In this case, then
Henry could not have told the truth, y
said Justice Weeks. After referring
to conversations which Henry testified
he had with Smith and in which he
declared Smith proposed that vice
might be made a source of revenue, the
court continued:
"If the jury is convinced that any
part of the conversations did not take
place, then Henry is guilty Of perjury.
This case resolves itself into the fact
that one Of two officials has falsely
sworn to statements. I wish to i'm

Best Speech of Convention

Best Speech of Convention
All these things happened in the Re-
publican convention to-day, but out o.
the weltcr of long drawn twaddle there
rose one snatch Of true eloquence. For
ten minutes there was cheering which
was spontaneous and unorganized. For
just this little stretch of time the
spectator could feel the amazing vbra-
tion which comes from huge crowd
in ferment. Fortunately for the Be
publican party there was Roosevelt
in the hall.
Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson
made the best speech which the con-
in every respect. Her delivery was
superb and her firm voice carried to
the back rows Contact between the
speaker and the audience was con-
tinuous. We were almost afraid to
stay and to listen, for fear that we
should hit the trail and become Re-
publican. Later that fear disappeared.
Other speakers put just little too
much sawdust on the trail.
Mrs. Robinson made out good case
for Wood and a still better one for
Fannie Hurst. You may remember
how generally Miss Hurst was twitted
marriage. Almost every paragrapher
wanted to know what on earth mar
ried woman wanted with a name of
her own. We knew when Mrs. Robin
son came up on the platform for her
speech. And she knew and so did
Henry Cabot Lodge.
"Mrs. Corinne ROOSEVELT Robin
son" was what he said. And dele
gates from Oklahoma and Kansas and
Texas and the rest jumped up to cheer
when they heard that Roosevelt had
much stir there would have been if Sen
ator Lodge had said simply MRS. Theo-
dore Douglas Robinson" We are will
ing to admit that sooner or later 4he
crowd might have found out that the
speaker was a Roosevelt under what
ever name they met her.
She has the family vim, the Roose-
welt sense of crowd psychology, the
Roosevelt love Of talking. Yet there is
a magic in name itself. 1t ia part
Of a speakers equipment. Roosevelt
belonged by right to the speaker, and it
belonged to the convention, too.
Fine Day For Women
Later in the day Alexandra Carlisle,
who played some years ago in "The
Mollusc" and appeared this season in
Masefields "The Tragedy of Man."
made speech for Coolidge, and it was
second only to the speech of Corinne
Roosevelt. Both seemed to US better
than the speeches of any of the men.
1t was fine day for the women. They
showed that as far as conventions go,
at any rate, their political skill is at
least as good as that of men. Never
theess, the pickets are still standing
in the blazing sun outside the Coliseum
urging the Republican party to put
it's shoulders in the fight and finish
the suffrage ratification.
All the terrible speaking was done
to-day by men. We trust that no
reader will think that our constant
insistence on the overmastering dull
ness of a national convention is merely

Other Bills Due Lead to
Inquiry Into Finances

The body Of Joseph B. Elwell,
forty-five years old, owner Of rae
ing stable, widely known auction
bridge authority and a social favo-
rite, was found yesterday morning,
pajama-clad, in a chair in his home,
244 West Seventieth Street. A 45-
caliber bullet had crashed into his
forehead, through his skull and into
the woodwork behind him.
At o'clock Miss Marie Larson,
his housekeeper, knocked at his
door, and, receiving no answer,
pushed it open crack and saw the
tragedy. The postman had brought
the mail at 1885. A letter delivered
at that time lay open before the
man with the blackened hole in his
forehead. Next door, at 242, paint
ers had been at work ever since
7:30. They had seen no one but the
postman approach the house.
The man through whose brain the
copper jacketed automatic bullet had
plowed its way was still alive. Ply
sicians summoned said it could not
possibly be so, but it was. He died
two hours later in Bellevue Hospital
without regaining consciousness. A
single word from him might have
solved a mystery that grows deeper
the more the police make efforts to
get to the bottom of it.
Pistol Not Found
They have not found the automatic
pistol with which Elwell was slain.
Not only have they found no one who
sa whis assassin, but in the room
itself there are no clues save the
shattered woodwork from which the
bullet has been dug and the she'll
