Five Held i'm Murder
Of Touring Sportsman
No Stains in Car Where Com
panions Say Man Was Shot
bv PASSING MOtorist

AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 16.--Flve per-
sons, were being held tonight in con-
nection with the murder of Harry Sim
clair, forty years old, Akron sportsmen,
who was killed yesterday while en-
route between Cleveland and Akron
with another man and two women. The
authorities said they would investigate
further stories told by Sinclairs COM
panions that Sinclair was killed by
shots fired from a passing automobile.
The fact that there were no blood
stains in the car or on the clothing of
the mans companions, although the
four were squeezed into single-seated
machine, led authorities to believe that
Sinclair was not slain in the aotomo-
bile, nor at the time designated by the
man and woman.
Besides Sinclair's companions, the
authorities were holding two men rs
witnesses, but it was intimated
one of the men would be released to-
morrow.
John Sinclair, of Earlville, N. Y,
brother of the slain man, came here to-
day to take charge of the body. His
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Sinclair,
live in Philadelphia.

Heir to A Million
Denies His Mother
Opposed Marriage
William E. Smith Refutes
Charges of Niece, Who Is
Contesting Will; Receiver
Asked by Mrs. Nngent

In an additional affidavit filed with
Justice Lydon yesterday, William p.
Smith, heir to $4,400,000 in the will
of his mother, Mrs. Roxey Smith, who
left an estate of $6,000000, denied
that his mother wss opposed TO his
marriage to Mrs. Claire Staley Smith,
as asserted by his niece, Mrs. Beatrice
Provost Nugent, of $50 West End
Avenue.
Mrs. Nugent is contesting the will
of her grandmother, Mrs. Smith, whose
provision for the niece was a trust
fund Of 100000. Mrs. Nugent claims
her uncle, by virtue Of an alleged
agreement between her and Mr.. Smith,
before they knew how the will read,
that they would share their legacies
equally One consideration Of this
agreement, she said, was that she keep
from her grandmother the knowledge
that her son, William Z. Smith, had
married.
Mrs. Nugent also moved in the Su-
preme Court to restrain Mrs. Claire
Staley Smith, wife of William f..
Smith, from removing from safe de-
posit vaults forty-four mortgages,
valued at $2,500,000, which her hus-
band has turned over to her and which
are part OF the estate lett by MIS-.
Roxey Smith. Mrs. Nugent also wants a
receiver for the property.
1t was in chat proceeding, now before
Justice Lyden, that Mr.. Smith filed his
affidavit. He said his mother was
cognizant of his intention to marry,
that she knew his bride because she
was the widow of Nicholas J. Smith,
an uncle, and that his mother gave her
consent to the MARRIAGE Thus Mr.
Smith intends to show that there was
no occasion for him to enter into the
alleged $3.50 agreement with his niece.
He also added that his mother was
very fond of his wife.
Another affidavit submitted was by
Mrs. Nettie L. Gale niece Of Mrs.
Roxy Smith. She said that her aunt
was unaware of the marriage of her
son to the actress. A similar affidavit
was made by William D. Brainerd, a
nephew Of the decedent

specta, pispotch to The Tribune

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.-The Rappe
tragedy has brought to a climax af-
fairs in the motion picture colonies
which have long been calling for re-
strictive attention. Men and women
watching the trend of affairs have been
predicting that some one of the orgies
staged by certain stars would end just
as Roscoe Arbuckle's party resulted
for Virginia Rape
The Women's Vigilance League has
taken decided stand on the PROPOSE
ton of cleaning up the motion picture
industry and making impossible the
wild night scenes and drunken de-
bauchery that have marked some of
these "parties" The best element in
the screen business itself also secs q
golden opportunity to institute some
reforms urgently needed, while publicc
attention is focused on the sorry fate
of Miss Rappe The manufacturers
realize that the public will not patron
ize pictures in which principals who
have figured in debaunches are
shown. That is, the stars must be
reasonably clean and decent in their
personal life or their usefulness as
motion picture attractions ends at once.
'.iquor Plentiful and Easy to Get
Heretofore these orgies have been
fairly we'll covered up. 1t is admitted
they were frequent. AS rule, they
were held in the homes of the stars or
in the home of some friends. 1t was
only the cheaper actors and actresses
of the "piker" variety who staged
their revels in the hotels and public
places. These latter, generally, were
tame affairs as compared with the
"house parties" put on at some of the
magnificent homes where all details
could be readily suppressed. Liquor
was always plentiful. California has
not taken kindly to the Eighteenth
Amendment, and there has never been
any trouble in obtaining an unlimited
supply of wet goods. This was proved
to the satisfaction of everybody during
the Democratic National Convention in
San Francisco. California prides itself
upon it's handed hospitality, and
if guest desires hard liquor it must
be forthcoming, regardless of any laws

party. According to Robert Camarillo,
Assistant United States Attorney, Fish
back said more than forty quarts OF
liquor were consumed in three days at
the Arbuckle apartments.
Witnesses in the case are being
watched and guarded by police to pre-
vent their possible intimidation. Po-
lice officials said this step was taken,
in some cases. at the request of wit
nesses themselves.
Among those in the courtroom to-day
was committee from the Women's
Vigilance Committee, an organization
made up Of club women, which has
pledged itself to assist the authorities
in every way in Investigating the case.
