IS 1T A COLLISION
WHEN A CAR FALLS?
Insurers Dispute Claim on
Perpendicular Crash.

What is an automobile collision? May
it legally occur in a perpendicular plane
as we'll as in a horizontal plane? In
other wor,ls. Is the accidental falling of a
freight elevator collision when an au-
tomobile Is on the elevator and falls with
it? These are some Of the issues pre-
sented to the Appellate Term of the Su-
preme Court by the appeal which the
Globe Indemnity Company has taken
from an adverse decision from Chief
Justice Edward F. O'Dwyer in the City
Court. DIR. Leopold Freiberger of 32
West 10th street, last month won a
judgment of S1.492.95 against the in
6emnity company for damages to his au-
tomobile when it fell two stories on an
elevator in a 11Sth street garage. He
based his claim on the terms of colli-
sion rider in his policy.
The case, according to insurance men,
presents a novel situation which has
Eever before been determined by the
courts in this State.
According to the Century Dictionary
collision is the meeting and mutual
striking of two or more moving bodies
or of moving body with a stationary
one" Noah Webster. in the New Inter
national Dictionary. describes a collision
as "a violent meeting, as Of railroad
trains"
Harry N. Vessel of Miller & Vessel
of 233 Broadway. his counsel. contended
that the company, having written the
policy and made no stipulation concern
ing elevator accidents, could be held
under the collision provision.

country. l am longing for that vaea-
tion. Edith"
William Haas. Jr.. son OF a restau-
rant owner and a pupil in Miss Lavoy's 5
class. said that several days ago the
teacher had spoken OF death in the
classroom. The thlrteen-year-ol1 boy
qquoted her as saying What beauti-
full thing II is 10 leave the earth and
live in a world more beautiful"
Young Haas said that at another
time when the teacher had read a corr
position she said 10 him: Some day
II you become a lawyer 1 will let you
handle my case"
Assistant District Attorney Edwards
of Queens county said last night that
the case looked stronger and that he
would be able to bring about Creasy's
conviction.
Raymond Malone, Creasy's attorney.
said tonight that he had visited his
client in the Mineola jail and that
Greasy would have strong defense.
To refute Creasy's reported statement
that he escorted Miss Lavoy to school
yesterday morning, Police Sergean.
Adam Yulch obtained statement from
James Venditt. a tailor of 40 North

making him jealous. In the boarding
house with Miss Lavoy lived Marjorie
Dubey and Mildred Simser, both teach
ers. Miss Simser was Miss Lavoy's
room mate. On one of those hectic April
evenings Greasy displayed the pistol be-
fore several persons In the boarding
house. On the pretext that she wanted
to examine II one of the girls Mr.. Ed
wards would not tell which one) got the
weapon from Greasy and ordered him
out.
He, returned to Huntington and wrote
to Miss Lavoy promising to behave
thereafter and asking that she mail the
pistol to him. She did so. He continued
writing. His ardent love letters are in
the possession of Mr.. Edwards. Whether
they contained threats was not divulged.
Greasy appeared in Freeport Thurs
day. He went directly to Grove street
school and there shared Miss Lavoy's 8
lunch with her. The police declared yes
terday that Miss Lavoy appeared at the
home Of Edna NJ. Shoemaker. the princi-
pal of the school. Thursday night. badly
frightened and begging for protection.
The story that Miss Shoemaker Is al
legged to have told the authorities is that
Miss Lavoy said Greasy seemed to be
desperate. He had suggested to the girl,
according to the story, that she meet him
at the kissing Bridge, favorite rem
devious out Freeport way. where "he
would end it all for both Of them"
1t is believed that Miss Lavoy agreed
to meet him at the kissing Bridge to
get rid of him. When she did not ap-
pear at the designated spot Greasy went
to the boarding house. Miss Lavoy saw
him coming. She ran to Miss Shoe
makers home. She stayed there all
night.
Miss Shoemaker says she told Miss
Lavoy that unless Greasy was out of
Freeport Friday she would notify the
police. Miss Lavoy did not see Greasy
Friday during the day. IN the evening
Greasy appeared at the boarding house
He met Miss Lavoy on the porch. He
seemed somewhat changed, they say
and the change was for the better. Miss
Lavoy took Greasy to the sitting room
adjoining that occupied as a bedroom
by herself and Miss Simser. There is a
rule at the house that male callers must
leave before 10:30.
Just before 10 Miss Simser went into

and no more than twelve inches from
her head when it was fired. Miss Lavoy
was preparing to go to the bedside OF
her mother who is seriously i'll in her
home at Tupper Lake, n. Y.
Charles w. Hansen. Nassau county's
finger print expert. declared last night
that he had found in Creasys coat a
letter that may have been written by
Miss Lavoy. Hansen could not remem-
ber the wording of the letter. but re-
called that 1t was signed Love, Edith .
and contained the thought that the
writer would much rather be in the
country than in a hot school room. In
Creasys pocket was a book containing
the names of about twenty women liv-
ing in various parts of the country.
Raymond Malone of Freeport was re-
tained to act as Creasy's lawyer.
Hansen said that he found blood
stains on the right sleeve of Greasy 5
shirt after making a microscopic pic
.ure test. The finger print expert said
that Miss Lavoy was not shot while
lying down but while she was sitting
up with her right leg under her left
on the couch. She fell over after the
shot was fired. Hansen said a micro
scopc picture of the wound showed
this.
IF the gun had been held close to
The New York herald., 1922-06-25

the girls head there would have been
some powder marks and the shot would
have crushed every bone in the girls
head" he said. The pistol must have
been held between two and half TO
three feet from her head when the
bullet was fired"
Hansen said that he proved this by
the microscopic test he had taken OF
the skin. To prove that the body had
been moved after the shooting Hansen
said there was considerable smearing
OF blood on the girls head. He said
he believed that from the picture some
one had touched the head of the girl
after the shot was fired. There We're
finger marks showing that the girls
head had been rubbed from the right
to the left side of the temple.
Hansen said that DR. William w.
Runcie. Health officer of Freeport,
had spoiled the finger print evidence
on the revolver. Runcie was the first
physician at the house after the girl
was shot. He had no right to pick
up anything until the authorities got
there" said Hansen.
Hansen decided later TO give out the
text of the note he found on Greasy.
II read:
Hello. Bill. Longing to leave school
so I can get back to my home in the

her room and got into bed. She says
II was very quiet in the sitting room.
Her chum and Greasy were less than ten
feet away from her bed. Fifteen minutes
later she heard the shot. Her chum was
lying on the couch. her right hand on
her breast and the right side of her face
on a pillow. Greasy was on mis- knees
wailing. Edith has killed herself"
Miss Simser left the room. When Mr.
Edwards. DIR. G. A. Newton and Lieut.
Van Riper arrived the position OF the
body was changed. Miss Lavoy was
lying on the left side.
I'VE have enough 10 hold him." said
District Attorney Weeks last night Il
do not think the girl committed suicide
We expect no trouble proving that she
was killed while sitting up"
Greasy insists that she was lying down
beside him that he was half asleep
and that she left the couch long enough
to get the pistol from the pocket of his
coat which was on a chair. He says
she returned without disturbing him
and shot herself after rcsuming her
place on the couch.

Mr.. Beach, a widower, admits that he,

All for miles around Hanover have
known Aunt Mira ever since they

their parents lived on the same home

The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. e. r. Barnard. pastor of the Han

founded by Aunt Mira's" great-great-

the year 1774.
In accordance with the old custom Of

Murray. A state hos
pital fund was instituted May %, 1921.
The first check which came into head
quarters was from Santa Anna, q unit
so young that it had not yet received
it's charter. The Wichita Falls auxil-
larry, known as "NIa Burdick's unit"
was among the first to contribute.
Since then approximately $4,000 has
been deposited in the hospital fund,
four Legion posts having sent in, with
out solicitation, about $500 of the
amount. One post held goat-roping
contest to raise funds and others sent
In the receipts of their poppy sales.
The object of the state fund Is to
make the financing of the hospital
work the responsibility of all units, not
limited to the ones nearest the hos
pitfalls. The State hospital committee,
a Chairman elected by the state con-
venti0n and three members from each
unit situated near hospital for ex-
service men,, handles the money that
comes in. The chairman directs the
work, inStructS her committee, ap-
proves statements and vouchers, pre-
pares bulletins and does an enormous
amount of work among the boys them
sely es. Mrs. David M. DulIer Of HOus-
ton served faithfully in that capacity
last year, and Mrs. J. Ward Mckee,
also of Houston, is the active chair
man
The report says: "Mrs. Murray's
messages to the units In the hospital
bulletins and her vision in the hospital
work has inspired the Texas units to
accomplish all this. 1t was her idea,
also, that the units adopt patients and
break the monotony Of days in the hos
pital wards by writing to them and
sending little gifts. Greatest help Is
given to men without compensation,
but men with compensation who need
cheering are adopted ALSO"
Mrs. Edward Clinton Murray Of
ment Of Texas, and is also one Of the
national vice presidents of the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary. She was one Of
the first organizers Of the auxiliary in
Texas and was elected to the state
presidency when the organization was
formed in San Antonio in December,
1920. Under her direction many units
have been formed and it Is her pur
pose at present to establish unit fol
each of the POI Legion posts in Texas.
Two of her policies are justice for dis
/. abled soldiers and encouragement Of
memorials which are not of some fiv-
ing good to the men.

EXECUTE FIRST DOUBLE PLAY
Made in Game Between Old Cincin-
natl Red Stockings and Allan
tics of Brooklyn.

The first double play Of which there
Is any record was made in a game
played between the old Cincinnati
Red Stockings and the Atlantics of
Srooklyn. The game was played June
"A, 1870.
Here is how the play was accom-
pltshed: 1t was in the tenth inning
and Mcdonald Of the Atlantics was
on second. Pierce was on first, and
no one was out. Smith hit little
pop fly to George Wright at short.
instead Of catching the ball as the
base runner had anticipated, he
trapped the ball by scooping it up
on the first bound, and he threw it
to Waterman, who was covering third
arse for Cincinnati. The latter
passed it to Sweasy at second and the
two runners were retired.
This was the game in which Cincin-
neti met the first defeat in the two
seasons that it had been playing. In
tie eleventh inning Cincinnati scored
two runs, but the Atlantics made
three in their half which gave them
the game.
