Admits Killing
Maj. Cronkhite
Roland n. Pothier Pleads
Guilty to Charge of In
voluntary Manslaughter
Before u. s. Commissioner
Says Shot Was Accident
Further Arrests Expected as
Result of Tragedy Which
Took Place i'm Oct. 1918
Special Dispatch to rhe Triby,,c

PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 1s.-Ro-
land r. Pothier, brakeman on the Nov
Haven and during the war a sergeant
bugler in the 213th Engineers, pleaded
guilty here to-day before Archibald C.
Matteson, Federal commissioner. OF in
voluntary manslaughter in connection
wlth tho death of Major Alexander P.
Gronkhlte at Camp Lewis, near Tacoma.
Wash, on October 25, 1918.
Major Cronkhite was shot down dur
ing pistol target practice in the sight
OF half dozen of the men of his regi-
ment of infantry. He died within Two
minutes after the shooting. An army
board which investigated the death re-
turned verdict Of involuntary suicide.
Pothler testified at the inquiry, as did
several other men, that death had been
caused by the accidental discharge Of
the majors own pistol.
Suicide Verdict Discredited
Major General Adelbert Cronkh;te.
father of the dead officer. who was in
France at the time Of the shooting.
ordered a further investigation. which
was made by the Federal Departme mt
OF Justice. The Majors body was ex-
humed and it was found that the bullet
had hit him in the right armpit. Ex-
perts agreed that it would have been
impossible for him to have done the
shooting himself.
Since Pothier's discharge from the
army in June, 1919, he has been hunted
by agents of the Department of Justice,
who desired to question him further
in connection with the case. They
found him Thursday in Central Falls,
where he lives with his wife and
mother-in-law. He married in that viii
lage last May.
Although the details of to-day's hear
ing before Commissioner Matteson were
closely guarded, it is understood that
Pothier admitted doing the shooting.
but said that at that time he had been
cleaning his pistol and it had gone off
accidentally. He had previously agreed
with agents OF the Department of JUS
tice to enter a plea of involuntary
manslaughter. To these agents he gave
his story of thu. shooting and the
events leading up it.
Mysterious shot Fatal
AS brought out at the time of the
army board hearing, it was testified
that Major Cronkhite had been shoot
ing at tobacco tin and had turned as
if to ask his men, "Did you see that?"
Suddenly shot was heard and the
major crumpled up on the ground The
half dozen soldiers idling by who saw
the shooting testified at the hearing
that they believed he had shot himself,
and the matter was thereupon dropped
temporarily.

Tumulty's Law Partner
Is Randolph Perkins
Colleagues i'm Assembly

New Jersey politicians found con-
siderable interest yesterday in the an
nouncement that Joseph P. Tumulty,
who was secretary to former President
Wilson, had formed law partnership
with Randolph Perkins, Republican
representative from the 9Th New Jer-
sey district and for long time con-
spicuous in Republican councils.
The firm will be known as Perkins
& Tumulty, with Offices in Jersey City
and Washington. Mr.. Perkins was an
Assemblyman from Union County in
1905. 1906 and 1907. He was Repub-
lican floor leader in 1905, but the Dem
ocratic majority in 1907 upset his plan
to be Speaker. Tumulty in 1907 was
serving. his first of four terms in the
Assembly. which indirectly led to his
becoming secretary to Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Perkins was Republican chair
man of Bergen County from 1911 to
1916, and last fall was elected to Con-
gress.. He has practised law in Jersey
City for many years.
