REFUSES TO QUASH
KILROE INDICTMENT
Justice Weeks Says jury Must Pass
on Eidence in Conspiracy
Case.

Justice Weeks, in the Criminal
Branch OF the Supreme Court, to-day
denied a motion to dismiss the in
dictments against Assistant District
Attorney Kilroe and Louis Swarts, an
attorney, charged with compromising
a felony. The motion was made by
william NJ. X, Olcott counsel for the
defense, who declared no evidence OF
a conspiracy had been produced.
Justice Weeks told the jury, which
had been excused during argument
on the motion, that the denial did not
mean ne believed either OF the de-
PENDANTS guilty. He said the denial
was based on a point of law, and that
the question Of facts involved could
be settled only by the jury.
The case grew out OF the failure TO
press a charge OF bigamy against
Napoleon BouraAse, a stock broker,
after the payment Of $4,000 10 his
third wife. Mrs. Helen St Marie Bou-
rasse, a motion picture actress. The
prosecution was closed this morning,

14DOGS IN HOME
NO CAUSE FOR WIFE
TOQUIT HER HUBBY
But Pistol With a Bayonet
Stuck On It Is Deemed to
Be Reasonable Excuse.

I The maintenance by a husband, IN
his home. OF fourteen dogs Is not
sufficient cause for his wife TO leave
him, Justice Cropsey ruled in the
Brooklyn supreme Court to-day In
the suit OF Mrs. Loretta Hughes
Walsh OF No. 1919 Prospect Place
against her husband. Richard s.
Walsh, a real estate dealer, whose
income is said 10 be $4,000 a year.
Nevertheless the Jury gave Mrs
Walsh her separation. The reason
was the production during the ex-
animation OF Mrs Walsh OF this
agreement which, she swOre, she die
tated and her husband singed:
II agree to give my wife $500 .
month II she lives with her mother
instead Of with me"
The jury took this as evidence that
the couple should live apart, but
fixed the amount TO be paid to Mrs.
Walsh at $500 a month. Mr. Walsh
denied all the charges made against
him by his wife and produced in
court a pistol with which, she had
testified, ne had threatened to shoot
her. The pistol is a relic Of the Rev.
dictionary War and Is equipped with
a folding bayonet. The Washes
were married Nov. rs. 1917. and sep
arated on Jan. IS, 1920. on account
OF Mr.. walsh's fourteen dogs.

FOR KILLING OF BOY;

Use of Weapons by Force.

Judge Mott Of General Sessions. in
sentencing Policeman Cornelius J.

in Sing Sing Prison for the killing OF
James Gushing, fifteen years old, to-
day, bitterly denounced the indis-
criminate use by tho police OF re-
volvers, black jacks and other weap-
ons.
~This verdict Is one that was much
needed and will be an example to the
police force" said Judge Mott.
There is no need for policemen to
draw or discharge revovers, except
as a last resort. The appearance OF
many defendants who have come be.
fore me in this court indicates that
the police go too far.
only the other day there was ar
raigned a defendant who had two
broken ribs and whose head had been
cut open. His injuries had been re-

policeman's explanation was that the
prisoner was trying to pull away
There have been numerous cases
before me and the other Judges OF
this court involving written confess
sions which, Investigation showed,
had been signed only after the pris-
oners had been brutally beaten
IF police officers cannot keep order
without resorting to undue and un-
lawful violence on their own part; II
they have to break the law them
selves to preserve tho law, then the
police force is a failure,
Il have received many letters urg-
ing clemeucy in this case, and 1t is
hard duty to impose sentence. But
despite the claims OF the defense
believe a moral wrong has been
clearly shown. Here we have two
able bodied, strong police officers, as
Lagainst eight or ten boys on a roof
many of them in short trousers. The
officers burst upon the roof with
revolvers drawn and shot without
warning. The police should not use

trimming, until it got down to a
single feather, q single flower, a
single bow, and then, suddenly, the
hat shoves everything out of its way.
Flowers take recourse under the brim,
to nestle near the hair; feathers drop
helplessly Off -he edge of the brim,
bows climb to a safe perch on the top
of the crown, and even the veil is
offered no aid to restraint, dropping

about the head and shoulders.

it all, and Easter will see some such
sights as are pictured here.

what TO do with her veil, and has
