Maids Slayer Found
Guilty; Kin Would
See Electrocution
l8-Year-Old Brother of the
Negroes Victim Wants To
Be in the Death House
When the Penalty Is Paid

Frank ]. Kelly, negro, was found
guilty yesterday of the murder Of
Catherine Dunn, maid, at the home of
MRS. Clarence S. Clark, of 1146 East
Iwenty-first Street, Brooklyn, by a
Jury IN the Kings County Supreme
Court. The jury was out only ten
minutes.
Kelly will be sentenced Friday by
Justice Kapper. Joseph Dunn, the
elghteen-year-old brother of Catherine,
wants tt, see Kelly die, District Attor-
would try to have young Dunn ad-
mitted to the death chamber at Kelly's
electrocution.
The negro was untroubled by the
verdict. He reused himself from an
apparent lethargy into which he had
dropped after testifying, and stood up
to hear the verdict. He smiled a little
when it was pronounced. He continued
to smile wearily as he answered the
usual questions. Then he lighted big
black cigar and walked out of the
courtroom with the deputy sheriffs.
Insanity Is Plea
keliy's attorney, Edward j. Reilly
told the jury that his client was crazy.
ne didn't call experts, he said, because
they usually testified for the side which
paid. them. He called the jurors at
tentlon to Kelly's apparent indifference
and said that none but lunatic would
be bored by trial for his life.
Kelly took the stand himself. He
was suayc, smiling and cool. He in
SISTED, through more than an hours
testimony, that he was insane. He said
a cousin OF his mothers had been crazv
Tor years. Service in the Philippines
with the 10th Cavalry contributed to
his insanity, he said. He bent his
close-scropped head and let the jury Try
see what he described as wound snf,
fered in fighting savage tribes Ho
since 1909. "'e'

Mrs. RObinson's Super-Fake
From the New York World.

Perhaps the siest OF all Republican campaign fairy
stories Is the work Of Mrs Cornne Roosevelt Robinson
who IS telling her audiences that the Lodge reservations to
the covenant OF the League OF Nations drafted by
Theodore Roosevelt and Senator Lodge at conference
held in the hospital during the Colones illness Every
OF the Lodge reservaons she FOR which Gov
Cox has called Senator Lodge and arch
traitor arranged in this conference and approved by
Theodore Roosevelt"
This only untrue but Is Of the things that
could not by any human possibility DO true. Theodore
Roosevelt died January g. 1919. The Peace Conference
did not convene until January 49, 1919. and the rst tena-
tive draft Of the League Of Nations not agreed to and
made public until February H. 1919. The final draft was
not signed until June Is, 1919.
Theodore Roosevelt heard Of Ardce n which Mrs
Robinson he feared would be war-breeder At tho
time OF his death the Peace Conference not in being
and nobody in all the world knew what single article
Of the League Of Nations covenant would be- Yet Mrs
Robinson insists that weeks before his death he and Sena
Lodge agreed to the senate reservations to
that not yet in existence.
There have been thousand Republican fakes In this
campaign but Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson has
aged TO produce the super-fake.
