Children Recover
After 90 Hours as
Closet Prisoners
Paterson Youngsters Hold
Regular Kids Court and
Boy Tells of ''Big Negro"
as First Story Grows Dull
From a .Stnf Corresponaent

PATERSON, N. j., May 28.-Harry
Farber, seven years old, and Bella
Wiener, five years old, children who
were found Friday in a small closet in
a vacant apartment, after being mis-
sing for more than ninety hours, were
out to-day enjoying the fame their
misfortune has brought them.
Harry seems to have suffered much
more from his imprisonment than
Bella. He was pretty sick lad when
the children were rescued by Jacob
Wiener jr., nineteen years old, and
Samuel Miller jr, seventeen years old.
This afternoon he was able to sit up,
however, and in big chair in front
of his fathers shop, 122 River Street,
the heavy-eyed child held court
In the morning Harry told a new
story az to the cause of their being
locked in the closet. Last night, he
said, as did little Bella, that Ethel
Vilinofsky, four years old, with whom
they had been playing hide-and
Monday after school, had slammed the
door Of the closet in which they were
hiding, and had run away. This morn
ing, he said, that a negro had carried
ment and shut them up. There is no
other confirmation of this story, and
later, Harry came back to his original
story. Bella sticks to the tale that
Ethel is do blame
Sitting on the steps of the Miller
home, IA Tyler Street, the ground floor
of the two story building in which the
children were found, Bella was tiie
center of a more or less soiled and
tattered group of children. On the
edge of the crowd teetered Ethel,
small person with tight, yellow curls
all over her head, and blue eyes set
close together.
Pm mad at you Ethel" sang out
the heroine, go away. You shut me
in the closet"
Ethel ran. When one of the big
boys was for bringing her back, she
ran faster and began to cry. Gener-
ously the heroine relented.
Come back, Ethel" she said, "I'm
not mad now" Later the tiny Ethel
confessed" that she had shut the
closet door on the two other children.
The police of Paterson have been
Investigating the case and are CON
vinced that the children's first story,
that Ethel shut them up. is correct.
They questioned the Miller family,
who live in the apartment under that
in which the children were, as to why
they did not hear the childrens cry
ing and kicking. The house is old
and in no sense sound-deadened, and.
besides, a daughter in the Miller fam
lily has been i'll for several days and

Consul General at London, arrived here
yesterday, on sixty days leave, by the

public the amount he collected, but it
was said to be about $1000,000. He
said he had found the American people
the most kindly and generous in the
world, but that this was nothing more
than he had expected. His mission
, here had been successful, he added, anC
his visit had been exceedingly pleasa
Also on the Ryndam was Mrs. Had

Court Conmutes Dogs
Death Sentence to Exile
Owner of Animals That Had
Bitten Policeman Wins APP
neal for His Pets

ATLANTIC CITY, May %. - Two
brindled bulldogs heard sentence of
death imposed upon them to-day in Re-
ccrder Goldenberg's court and merely
gulped and blinked and turned ex-
pectant faces toward their owner, Harry
Hilton. The dogs had been convicted
of viciousness by the testimony Of
Police Sergeant McMenamin, who sub
mitted bandaged hand in evidence,
and by the testimony of seven other
witnesses.
Mr.. Hilton was far more disturbed
than the culprits by the sentence of
the court. They were not vicious ami
mails, he asserted, though their play
might be rather rough sometimes. If
the court would reconsider the SEN
tence, he said, he would take the dogs
out Of Atlantic City and see that they
never came back.
Recorder Goldenberg said that he
thought such a disposition of the case
would be satisfactory and commuted
the death sentence to one of Danish
ment from Atlantic CITY.
