EXPERTS TESTIFY
in MURDER TRIAL

Mineola, N. Y, Oct. "A hand
writing expert, called by counsel for
William M. Greasy of Fort Thomas,
KY, now on trial for the murder Of
his former sweetheart, Miss Edith
Lavoy, today testified that one of the
numerous letters alleged to have been
written by the girl was forgery.
"Can love be forced?" the letter
asked. Would you want wife who
would not love your"
Loren G. Horton of New York, the
handwriting expert, explained in de-
tail dissimalarities between the writ
ing in this letter and that in other
letters known to have been written
by Miss Lavoy. He was noto cross
examined by District Attorney
Weeks.
Greasy contends that Miss Lavoy
shot herself as he lay by her side
on a couch in her Freeport home, be-
cause he had put off his marriage to
her.
1he prosecution charges that it was
Miss Lavoy who became disenchanted
and ended the romance, drawing q
letter from Greasy in which he wrote,
II have no more heart in my body.
By Sunday shall be under six feet
of earth in Kentucky"
When asked as to his reason for
this respondent note, Greasy said to-
day:
~ was on a spree the night before
and when l wrote that letter / was
recovering from the effects of it."
The case probably will go to the
jury late tomorrow afternoon.

ALLIES WILL
REJECT PROPOSALS

Constantinople, Oct. 2 (By the AS
sociated Press) The Kemalist pro-
posals, which will be laid formally be-
fore the Mudania conference tomor-
row, are "discussable, but not ac-
ceptable' This was the decision of
the extraordinary council, which met
at the. British embassy this afte~-
noon. 1t included the allied high COM
missioners, ambassadors, generals and
admirals.
M. Franklin Bouillon, the French
envoy, through whose efforts with
Kemal Pasha the conference was
made possible, expressed his conf
dent belief to the Associated Press
correspondent that an agreement
would be reached tomorrow at Mu-
dania.
"Kemal will make a greater effort
for peace than he has made for war;"
he said.
Two of the most important ques-
tions to be discussed at the confer
ence will be demarcation of new
neutral zone on the Asiatic shores of
the Dardanelles and at Ismid, and the
evacuation of Thrace.
The allies hold that Kemal's ue-
mands as outlined by M. Franklin
Bullion are of such a nature that the
Angora assembly would thereafter pe
In a position to reject the allied note.
Kemal Pasha insists on settlement of
all military ucstions before replying
to the allied proposals. He and four
of the ministers at Smyrna accepted
the allied note in principle but the
attitude OF the Angora assembly is
not known.
1t was decided this evening that
Tie armistice conference must take
place ashore at Mudania, instead Of
on one of the allied ships. This de-
cision was reached principally be-
cause the allies were unable TO agree
even on such minor question AS to
which should have the honor of acting
as host of the conference. Each, ap-
parently, feared that the holding of
he conference aboard one of the
others ships, would give that nation
a distinct advantage in the session
and in the report of that session
which would reach the outside world

MAN AND WIFE
FACE CHARGES

st. Louis, Oct. (By the Associat-
ed Press).-Prosecuting Attorney
Mueller of St. Louis county today is
sued warrants charging grave rob-
berry and arson against Harry r.
Brenn and his wife in connection with
the discovery that a body found in
Brenn's garage at Oakville, Mo-,
which was destroyed by fire last Tues
day, was that of young woman, and
not Brenn, as it was presumed orig
inally.
The warrants were issued on the
strength of information sworn to by
Coroner Bracy of st. Louis county,
who announced that, in his opinion.
Mrs. Brenn was withholding infor-
andmation about the crimes with
which she and her husband are
charged.
Mrs. Brenn was taken into custody
Wednesday by detectives, who de-
clared that the body found in the
garage ruins was that of Miss Ce-
leste Schneider, which was stolen last
Monday from its grave in Mount
Hope cemetery.
Police say they have evidence
tending to show that Brenn and his
wife intended going to Germany, Mrs.
Brenn's home, after collecting $4,000
life insurance which Brenn carried.
No trace has been found Of Brenn,
who left home last Monday before
the fire occurred. The body of the
young woman was found lying on an
automobile standing in the fire debris.
The warrants are said to require
large bond, and it was said that
bondsmen were attempting to OBJ
tain Mrs. Brenn's release on $1,000
bail.
The wife steadfastly has maintain
ed that she knows nothing of the al .
legged plot which the police accuse her
husband of engineering. Repeated
questioning has failed to change her
account Of the garage fire and the dis.
appearance Of her husband, who, she
said, perished in the fire.

CAPTURED BOOZE

Washington, Oct. 2.-Charges thai
certain representatives Of the de.
partment of justice" converted to
their own use liquor seized here In
the enforcement Of prohibition laws
were made in a special report filed
today by the District of Columbia
grand jury.
The report asserted that the liquor
was removed from the warehouse
used by the department for storage
purposes and was used by the Of
ficials involved for their private con-
sumption, for distribution to personal
friends and as gifts to favored in
stitutions. There was no charge that
any of the liquor was disposed of for
financial gain.
Illegal Withdrawals covered in the
report were declared to have occurred
between July 20. .and September IL,
1920, The jury did not name the in
dividuals who were involved, but de-
clareh that their conduct can not "be
too severely condemned"
At the department of justice Of
ficials indicated that no action was in
prospect since the offense complained
of were "by former attaches of q
former administration of the depart
ment." William ]. Burns, chief Of
the departments bureau of investiga-
ton, confirmed theat large stocks of
liquor held in the custody of the de-
partment had disappeared" between
the dates mentioned in the grand jury
report.
The first intimation of such a stu
alton, Mr.. Burns said, came to him
when counsel for a defendant in a
liquor case which had lapsed under
the statute of limitations, filed claim
for return of the several cases of
w6iskey.
Mr.. Burns said he ordered that the
property be returned at once and
then learned that it was no longer in
the warehouse An inquiry was in
stituted and the result voluntarily
submitted to the grand jury, accord
ing to Mr.. Burns.
Officials of the department esti-
mate that several hundred cases of
assorted liquors were removed illegal
ly from the departments evidence
cache. The value was placed at up
wards of 100000 by D. T. Wrigh;.
counsel for Frank Bunch, one of The
interested owners Mr.. Wright re-
Gently filed suit against Frank Burke
former chief of the department of
Justices bureau of investigation, A
P. Hearne and Henry P. Alden, en-
ployees of the department, charging
thaa they had unlawfully removed his
clients liquor from custody and con-
verted it to their own use. The suit
is now pending In local court, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wright.
A record Of the Withdrawals show
ing the alleged signature of the de-
partment of justice officials who
vouched for the removal in each case
was obtained by a private detective
according to Mr.. Wright, as was alsc
detailed report ON the places anc
persons to whom delivery was made
after the liquor was taken from the
local warehouse. He declared these
reports were available for presenta
tion to the grand jury but was unable

DETECTIVES QUIZ
CHARLO LOTTE MILLS

SudrlOICe Mills, 1o-yeAr-Oio uauBnCeE
of Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills, choir leader,
whose body was found beside that of
the Rev. Edward w. Hall in field on
September 16, was again brought into
the investigation of the double mur-
der today.
The first active participation in the
case occurred last week when she ap-
pealed TO Governor Edwards for aid
with the result that the governor re-
quested detectives of the state police
to cooperate with the local authori-
ties. Today Miss Mills was taken by
a detective from her class in high
school to the Office of Prosecutor
Beekman, where she remained two
hours.
Commenting upon her visit to the
prosecutor, she said:
"They wanted to know what right
had to go to Governor Edwards and
ask him to help me get justice. i told
them that / had every right and be-
lieved they were not doing anything
to find the person or persons who
killed my mother. / told them this
was reason enough.
"From the questions they asked
am convinced they are not getting
anywhere. am heartily sick and
tired of answering lot of questions
when they might better employ their
time in finding the murderer. If no
one elseis interested. at least am"
The girl also stated that up to date
no member of the church congregation
has called on her to express sympathy
with her in the loss of her mother.
While Miss Mills was voIcing these
criticisms the work of investigation
was progressing here as well as in
New York and Philadelphia.
Charles Collins, county detective,
today went to Philadelphia, where he
said he learned from Philadelphia
detective that Mrs. Hall on Septen-
ber 2 took some garments to be clean-
ed by firm in that city. Records of
the cleaning establishment did not
show the exact nature of the work
done on the clothing.
In New York Representatives of the
New Brunswick authorities received
the cooperation of the district attor-
ney's Office in applying for supreme
court order permitting the removal of
the Rev. AIr. Halls body from it's re-
'ceiving value in Greenwood cemetery
for the purpose of thorough autop-
sy. 1t is expected that the court or
der will be obtained tomorrow.
In addition to examining Miss Mills,
Prosecutor Beekman today question
ed Louise Geist, maid in. the Hall
home. Sidney Carpenter, first cou-
sin of Mrs. Hall, appeared at the court
house here today but was toll he had
been called by mistake. At the same
time it was said that drawer con-
tanning letters had disappeared from
q bureau in the Hall home and that
the prosecutor was trying to find out
what had become Of it.
Detectives continuing the investiga-
tion of the murder today found dark
red stains on the floor mating in 3
bedroom of the Phillips farm house.
The bodies of the minister and the
woman were found in feld on the
Phillips farm September 16.
Belief was expressed that the stains
were blood and they will be analysed.
The stains were on the floor mating
at the edge of the bed. There was no
mattress on the bed.
No trace of any revolver or knife
was found in the well on the farm,
which investigators emptied today.
