Breslow Found Guilty
OF Abducting Girl, l6
Faces Five-Year Jail Term for
Bringing Her From Toms
River to New York

Charles Breslow was found guilty
yesterday of abducting sixteen-year-old
Peggy Austin and bringing her from
Toms River, N. j., to New York. He
was arrested with the girl in fur
nished room on West Forty-fourth
Street the day after she left home.
A jury in General Sessions returned
the verdict to Judge Rosalsky after an
hours deliberation. The maximum
penalty is five years Imprisonment.
Breslow, who is thirty-two years old,
lives at 2146 Seventh Avenue.
count Of the indictment. which also
charged Breslow with more serious
statutory crime. He will be sentenced
next Friday. Breslows trial lasted
three days. One of the chief witnesses
against him was Peggy's, sister, Vesta,
fifteen, who testified he had tried to
lure her from Toms River a week be-
fore Peggy went away.
In denying a motion for a new trial,
Judge Rosalsky declared that the proof
Of the defendants guilt was over
whelming. The court also congratu-
lated Joseph D. Edelson deputy as
sistant District Attorney, who con-
Quoted the prosecution, saying:
II deem it my duty to publicly attest
my great admiration for the able and
fearless prosecutor, Mr.. Edelson. He
labored indefatieably to marshal the
evidence which resulted in the convic-
tion of this defendant. In the District
Attorneys Office, Mr.. Edelson is a great
acquisition to the administration of
Justice"

Brewers Hesitate to Act
Special Disnotcb n ~. T,;b,,,

L
ALBANY, April .3o.-While vets are
urging Governor Smith to sign the
Walker 2,75 per cent beer bill. and
drys demand that he veto it. brewers
Will not put 2.75 per cent beer on the
market until they are sure the Federal
government will not interfere.
While some brewers here and there
may be ready to sell 2.75 per cent
beer III the event the Governor SIGNS
the beer measure, the larger breweries
will continue the output of one half
OF L per cent beer unless the United
States Supreme Court renders a de-
clslon In favor Of 2.75 per cent beer.
This was the word brought to-dav
by representatives of brewers who
came to Albany to ascertain IL Gov
ernor Smith has set date for a hear
ing on the beer bill.
1T is no use for the brewers to
brew 2.75 per cent beer" he said
until they are assured of harmony be-
tween the state and Federal govern
ments. The brewers were back Of the
Walker bill, it is true, but the sole uur-
pose was to have the state 20 on record
so that Congress and the country
would know exactly where the State Of
New York stands on the question"
1t was predicted by Deputy Com
missioner Platt of the state Excise
Department that in the event the
Walker bill is signed and the high
court decides against 2.7' per cent
beer, the Federal authorities will
stop its sale by preventing brewers
from making beer of that strength
rather than by prosecuting the in,
dividual license holder.

Eight Mey, TO Die
In Chair May "a
Sing Sing Quartet, Ciuen
4 Weeks Reprieue, May
.Tcin Other Condemned

Eieht men are now scheduled to die
in the electric chair at Gtng Sing the
I'll became known yesterday when
Warlul Lawes vaa notified that the re-
pric,es granted TIE four men who were
to have been executed on Thursday
night were for four weeks instead Of
two. The additional two weeks brings
the electrocution date to the night of
May "a, the night four other men are
scheduled to be put to death.
Unless action is taken in their behalf
James Cassidy, Joseph Milano, Joseph
Usefof and Charles Mclaughlin, al
legged murderers Of the Bronx subway
station agent, will so to the chair on
the same night with Leo Jankowski,
Walter Levandowski, James Byrd and
William Warmack. JankowsN and
Levandowski killed Keeper John Gun
ther in Dannemora State Hospital;
Byrd shot and killed Kingston police
man, and Warmack killed q Pullman
porter. '''''''''
The latter four were examined as to
their sanity by three alienists-Dr.
Raymond Kieb, DR.. George Smith and
Dr. Charles Pilgrim. The lunacy COM
mission will make report to the Gov
crnor regarding the mental capacity of
the four men.
William E. Quigley, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney of Bronx County, went
to Sing Sing yesterday and was given
the last-minute confession of Milano.
The confession read:
"For Gods sake save the other three
boys. Clear my conscience. l am to
blame. Save the other three boys-Cas-
sidy, Mclaughlin and Usefof. Don't
let four families suffer. One is enough.
Please clear my conscience. I done the
shooting. Please consider this and
give them at least a respite to investi-
gate"
John Hubert, Sing Sings execu-
toner, who went to the prison Thurs
day night prepared to execute Milano,
Cassidy, Usefof and Mclaughlin, left
the penitentiary yesterday, leaving
word to be called "when needed" He
would have received $500 from the
state for the execution of the four

members of the trade would act in con-
cert In this respect.
If the United States Supreme Court
should declare the Volstead act un-
constitutional it would mean q return
to what the liquor interests call conn
plete personal liberty" in the matter of
drink and would re-establish in large
measure the conditions existing before
the war. This latitude, O. course,
would not be effective until aleer Con,
gress had lifted the wartime ban.
Liquor Mem Optimistic
Whils no hint has been given as to
when or how the United States ST.
preme Court will act in its LIQUOR de-
cisicns, it is a fact taat the liquor
trade, particularly the retailers, is i'm
bued with a spirit of optimism that
it has not enjoyed since the early days
OF the war. There is no better indi-
cation of this than the fact that
money is now being invested in the
opening Of new bars.
The word that q period Of "wetness''
IS impending seems to have spread
through the state Of Connecticut,
where many retailers have communi-
Gated with New York brewers, cancell-
ing orders for near-beer and other
products complying with the provisions
OF the Volstead act. On the long dis
tance telephone yesterday New Lon
don dealer called up local brewer ard
said he would have 40 use for 200
cases of near-beer he had ordered.
y couldn't possibly dispose of that
much near-beer in two weeks" said the
dealer, "and after chat time Ill be
able to sell the real thing. Everybody
up this way is cutting out the half Of
one per cent and getting ready to
handle the old-timc lager. Everything
will be lovely in two weeks"
The brewer, although disinclined to
cancel the. order, admitted that the
prospects for selling real beer again
were good and that the Volstead drink
would probably be dead issue in the
near future.

Bluebeard Says
He Killed Two
OF 25 Wives
(ContInued from page ens)

Ludvigson was drowned in q river In
Idaho, they said.
OF the more than twenty-five mar

the wives are listed as missing. They
include, besides the four named In the
alleged confession, Mrs. Gertrude Will
son. Seattle; Beatrice M. Andrews, of
Canada and England, and Agnes Will
son, Alberta, Canada.
The first to die, according to the
alleged confession, was Miss Ludwig

as to the exact time and location. The
boat, he said, jammed against logs

hammer.
When Watson was arrested, accord
ing to the police, he was preparing to
take his latest wife on trip into the
mountains.

Eureka, Mont, married Watson, the
officers said, at San Francisco, Decem-
Der S, 1919. She was last seen at

26 1920. She had property valued at
| $4,000. Some of it was found in Wat
sons possession, the officers declared.
Miss Goodnick married Watson, they
say, under the name of Fl. L. Gordon,
June II, 1919, at North Yakima, Wash.
Trunks belonging to her were located
in Vancouver, Wash, warehouse.
Miss Ludvigson, whose home was in
| Seattle, married the man under the
name of Andrew Hilton, the officers
said, October 6, 1917, at Port Towns
end, Wash. Property Of hers, various
papers, her will and their marriage L.
cense, they declared, were found in
Watson's possession.
Elizabeth Pryor was a waitress at
Wallace, Idaho, and Spokane, Wash.

officers, under the name of Milton
Lewis. at Cnour d'Alene. Idaho, March

cepts in her name were among Wat
sons possessions when he was ar

Good morning!
This is May /!
The weather today will
probably be clearing.
One of the Guests
at a country hotel

went off alone for a walk over the
mountains, and, not knowing that
the woodchoppers' Winter road
ways of shedding logs were partly
obliterated by the Spring and Sum-
mer overgrowth of weeds, bushes
and wild flowers, the stranger man
soon found himself hopclessly lost
and could only wander, no doubt
often in circle, until toward sun
set, by long detour, he descended
the mountain into a valley miles
and miles from his domicile.
Running through the valley was
little brook of brown water.
By backing off from the little
creek to get good start and a
quick jump, he would have landed
upon the other side of the creek,
where the road was visible that led
homeward.
But the man declined the GER
tainty of being on the home side Of
the creek, which offered itself to
him, and he kept along in the tan
gled, painless, weed-flled meadows,
and when a mile and more farther
down stream had to wade up to his
knees to get over to the road
near by.
Such is life in regular business
or speculations. We are easily
drifted from the narrow, safe paths,
and sometimes get submerged in
difficulties that we could have
avoided and so have saved more
than our ruined shoes and spoiled
clothes from wading out of an ever
deepening little river.
This store takes few risks in rner-
chandise.
