and then to have committed suicide.
According to information obtained

that Kelly had resented the recent as

stage nearly two years ago, soon after
she had inherited fortune of 930 600

friends of Lieutenant Horton were ar
rlvlng at 1859 Fifty-hrst Street, Brook
lyn, the flag at Police Headquarters
was faunted in the breeze yesterday at
the top of its mast. The only official
flag known to have been placed at half
mast in memory of the dead lieutenant
was the flag at the 152d Street ponce
station.
Mayor Sends Coincidence
The following telegram was received
by Mrs. Horton from Mayor Hylan:
Dear Mrs. Horton-Accept my sim
cere sympathy in the untimely death
of your brave husband. Lieutenant
Horizons courage in the performance
OF his duty as a po ice officer is an
eXampllfcation of the courage and
bravery Of the police of this city.'
From a semi official source Yesterday
came the report that the directors Of
the Riot Relief Fund, which was formed
during the Civil War period, were plan
nlng to vote $1,000 from the fund to
the widow Of Lieutenant Horton. The
Police Department pension board will
vote the regulation $500 pension to Mrs.
Horton.
The deep silence that has pervaded

Tor some time was preserved through
out the day. Commi sioner Enright
mas taken cognizance of the fact, how
ever, that a police lieutenant met his
death on Thursday in an announcement
which appears at the end of the Police

nouncement reads:
'S-The following death is reported:

Mr.. Davidson said. Practically al of

freclous stones are not the only
thing the district just quarautined to
known criminals contains. It, also has
within its boundary large number Of
crooks, and the committee told Mr..
Enright it might be an excellent idea
not only to discourage those whose
photos adorn the rogues' gallery from
crossing the bar. but to see to it tn 1T
those whose domestic establishments
are within the district are not I'D to
any mischief.
Accordingly all day yesterday and
last night the sixty-five plain clothes
men assigned to the zone and the 200
patrolmen on duty there broke up
every little gathering Of. loafers and
worse they encountered on the Sixth
and Seventh Avenue corners. The
constitutional right of free assemblage
was temporarily suspended.

the jewellers readily RECOGNIZED the fact
that an Enright deadline, like the eoua-
ter, is only an imaginary line. and that
criminals frequently manage to slip
across it. The National jewelers.

point that occurred last Thursday.
One Swindlcr Who Was Caught
A man walked into Maiden Lane
store, laid his glove on the counter
and asked to see some costly diamond
rings. The clerk showed him what he
and the supposed customer,
"ho 1T turned out, was an International
~ known swindler, substituted
'rhony" for the ring which he picked
up with his glove, remarked he guessed
ne would not make the purchase and
departed, the clerk still none the wiser.
This incident points another moral,
however, beyond the lesson that
crooks will risk running the deadline.
A police detective, of whom there are
Forty. stationed in the Maiden Lane
district, had recognized the swndler
when. he entered the store as a man
who had served four prison terms
