Members of the American Legion, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars and officials of
the village of Nyack went yesterday TO
the grave of Sergt. Albert A. Whea-
ton in Oak Hill Cemetery, Nyack, and
did all they could 10 atone for the neglect
that caused Sergt. Wheaton to be
buried on May 16 without military hon
ors.
At sunrise yesterday James w. Pacey.
Village President, went to the cemetery
and placed the nag. the same flag which
mad draped Sergt Wheaton's coltin.
at half staff. Later fifteen automobiles
laden with members OF the American
Legion were driven 10 the cemetery and
the memorial ritual of the legion was
read at the grave. A firing squad fred

of Foreign Wars conducted services and
planted poppies about the grave.

yesterday that the Charles r. and Ray
mond Blauvelt Post Nyack, was not TO
blame for the neglect. But he added;
Some or the individual members Of
the post are TO blame though the post
itself cannot be censured.
''The post had made arrangements for
all military courteslas TO be extended at
Serrt. Wheaton's funeral, which. as
stated by the Salvation Army officers,
would be on Monday, May Is. Unfortu-
nately tho hospital officials in Washing
ton did not ship the body until Monday,
causing the remains 10 arrive too late
for interment on that date"
Sergt. Wheaton was buried at esy-
ack because it was the wish of his bride,
who was Miss Ida Barrett OF Nyack.
The apathy OF certain members of the
American Legion, according to Sergt.
cahall, was because Wheaton was not a
native OF Nyack and nobody there knew
HIM.
Wheaton and Miss Barrett were mar
ried in the hospital on March %, Two
days before he died. He had won the
Croix de Guerre for gallantry under
fire.

ATTACK - STENOGRAPHER
SUBMITS TO ARREST.

Three bullets fired from a gun in
the hand of Elsie Salisbury, steno-
grapher in the Offices of the Chicago,

ment on the shooting, but Erickson
said the girl was prompted by jeal-
ousy.
The story told by Erickson is that
he was called back into Miss Sails

wanted him to read letter in her
possession.
AS he stood reading, he said, she be-
gan to shoot. Three bullets entered
his body.
Other employees of the railroad
rushed into the room, and took Erick-
