Body of Missing Bride
Found Anchored in Lake
Discovery Made in Lake Where
Mrs. Kettelle Was Spending
Her HONEYMOON

UNION, Conn., Sept. 22.-The body
of Mrs. Norah Johnson Kettele, who,
as bride of few days, disappeared
from a camp at Lake Mashapaug, where
she was on her honeymoon, on Septem
ber 13, was found in the lake to-day.
A rope to which was attached a boat
anchor was knotted about her neck
The body was recovered by James Earl,
caretaker of an estate, but was not re-
moved from the water pending exami-
nation by the coroner and state police.
Mrs. Kettelle, graduate of Radcliffe
College, twenty-three years of age, dis
appeared while her husband, John Dun
ster Kettelle, of Cambridge, Mass, was
absent from the camp. When he re-
turned he found her gone, most of her
clothing left behind and the boat be-
longing to the cottage, together with
her bathing suit, missing. The boat
was found near the opposite shore in
the search which Kettelle made in a
canoe for mis- missing bride.
Mrs. Kettelle was an expert swim
mer. The morning of her disappearance
her husband said they had swum ashore
from an island in the middle Of the
lake. Kettelle, who went to his home
at Cambridge after several days Of
search had failed to disclose the body
said he thought his wife had beached
the boat, that it drifted away and that
in swimming after it she became ex-
hausted.

Ullman Acquitted
With Partner of
Extortion Charge
Government Failed to Prove
Case, Judge Rules; Trial
of Three Other Defend
ants May Close To-day

Assemblyman Sol Ullman, of the
Meyer Committee, and his law partner
Emanuel Friedman, were acquitted yes
terday on charges of conspiracy to ex-
tort money and to bribe an Official on
which they and three others had been
on trial before Judge William B. Shep-
pard in the Federal District Court
since September IA.
The third count in the indictment
that of conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment of taxes, was dismissed
against all the defendants Wednesday
when the court ruled that the govern
ment had failed to show that any taxes
were due from Arthe, Levy, Bernard
& Co., the umbrella concern, in con-
nection with whose shortage the al
legged conspiracy was formed
Judge Sheppard, in directing the ac-
quittal Of the two attorneys, remarked ID
that their conduct in the case appeared
to him very remarkable, but that he
was forced to admit that the govern
ment had not presented sufficiently
the jury for verdict on their guilt.
The trial of the other three al
legged conspirators, Public Accountants
Meyer Saal and Justus Frankel and
Internal Revenue Agent Harry Levy, is
expected to close to-day. The defense
had already rested it's case when the
motion for the acquittal of Ullman and
Friedman was made, and before the
adjournment yesterday afternoon it's
counsel had finished summing up for
the jury Special Assistant United
States Attorney General John w. H
Grim will offer the final argument for
the government this morning, after
which Judge Sheppard will deliver the
charge.
Robert H. Elder, attorney for Harry
Levy, who had supported the motion on
Wednesday for the dismissal of the
charge of conspiracy to defraud the
government of taxes, ON the ground
that the prosecution had failed to
show that any taxes were due from
the umbrella concern, devoted most of
his summing-up speech to explaining
the grounds on which the internal
revenue agent had informed its Off
GERS that they owed the government
approximately $4,000.
Since the tax charge was dropped
the prosecution has endeavored to
show that the defendants tried ia
frame" Arthe, Levy, Bernard & Co
into paying $500 to conceal short
age which did not exist.
The only witnesses placed upon the
stand yesterday were called to testify
to the character of the men under in
dictment
