Four to Nine Year
Prison Sentence
Promise of Restitution for
Thefss Fails to Appeal
10 Mulqueen, Who Says
She Is ''Base Swindler"

Judge Mulqueen, in General Sessions
yesterday sentenced Mrs. May Jennings
Bennett, formerly first vice-president
Of the Womcn's Foreign Missionary
Society of the New York Presbytcry
to term Of not less than four years
nor more than nine years six months
in the State Prison for Women at
Auburn.
She had pleaded guilty on January
Il to one OF four indictments charging
her with grand larceny in the first de-
gree. The indictment charged that by
representing that she controlled a
chain Of apartment houses, Mrs. Ben
succeeded in swinding her victims out
OF more than $4,000. The specific
charge to which she pleaded guilty was
that she stole $4,000 from Mrs. j. n
Cordero. of Mount Vernon.
Mrs. Bennett declared that she had
been guilty Of her various misdeeds be-
cause for long time she had been "in
g. sort Of dream brought about by the
influence of "divine psychologist -
Later she recantcd her charges that
this man had influenced her in her
career.
A plea for suspended sentence, with
pIOLIlSe VI IcSllCutitI. O4OuSul tilS tc-
sponse from Judge Mulqueen:
The law does not demand vengeance.
but the law must be enforced, and
am going to see that it is enforced. If
at any time restitution is made | will
be among the first to request the Gov
ernor to shorten her term Of imprson-
ment.
"My present opinion of her is that
she is base Swindler."
Judge Mulqueen also called attention
to the fact that if convicted on all
the indictments against her and given
maximum sentences, Mrs. Bennett
might have *een given forty years i'm
prisonment.
He also made a point of the fact that
Mrs. Bennett had taken the proceeds
of the insurance policy of the hus-
band Of one OF her victims.
Mrs. Bennett. who previously had de-
olarcd she would throw herself on the
mercy Of the court ir order that she
might >"becomc public beggar" if
necessary to make restitution, took her
sentence without comment.

Mr. and Mrs Frost maintained an
apartment in 270 Park Avenue and d

Company on the ground that Mr. Carse
had paid $4,000 TO Malcolm Ross Nc

of the Treasury. to influence govern
nent officials. Merritt Lane, who was
then vice chancellor, refused to grant
Mr.. Frost's application, and pointed out
that there was not "scintilla' OF
evidence that. whatever understanding
Malcolm Ross McAdoo and Mr. Carsc
may have had William G. McAdoo
knew anything about it, nor was
there anything in the case, the vice
chancellor added, warrantiDg the IN
