Edwards is a Democrat. he is un-

GET TEV|DENCE IN
MOVIE MURDER
Case Will be Presented to
Grand Jury in Short Time,
Prosecutor Says

EDGEWATER, Aug. 29.-The
story of Miss Alice Thornton, the
young movie actress who has re-
vealed the staying of "Daredevir'
John Bergen at the home of George
Cline, film location man, last Friday
night, today led Bergen county au-
thorities to announce they were
ready to present the case to the
grand juhy on September s.
Miss Thornton's story told last
night after a search for a mystic
rious blonde" which ended at her
New York apartment, was supple
mented by Joseph Iurillo of Grant
! wood, N. j., who also was at the
! Cline home when Bergen met his
| death. Authorities expected to eX-
anime both witnesses again today.
Clnes confession that he shot
Bergen to avenge Mrs. Cline's dis
grace, while he and Bergen were
mounting to the attic of the Cine
home to fight duel. was discredited
by the story of Miss Thornton and
Iurillo.
The movie actress said she mad
been summoned TO the Cline resi-
dence to be present when Bergen
was confronted with the charges
that he had attacked Mrs. CINE at
Saranac Lake recently. luriIlo, a
movie fireworks expert, was there
to discuss a contract with Cline, he
said.
Both told how Bergen, accused
by Mr.. and Mrs. Cline, admitted his
guilt. According to their version
of what followed, Cline appeared
with a revolver. Bergen fled from
the house, was brought back at the
point of Cline's pistol and herded
up the stairway toward the attic,
Bergen being unarmed.
A few moments later. Miss Thorn
ton is alleged to have related, they
heard a shot and Bergen staggered
down the stairs to the street where
he was found dying. Iurillo ccr-
roborated her story, adding tnat
when Cline came down from the at

following the lead and example of its
twin metropolis, has not only raised
it's quota of 100000, but based on
the figures and estimates of the coun-
ty chairmen still at work in various
sections Of the state, there will be an
over-subscription of almost 100000,
or 40 per cent. While all the reports
clear through the Minneapolis office,
each community will be given credit,
and will be listed in the New York
office individually, so that each will
be on the roll of honor of commune
ties that have done themselves proud
in the life-saving campaign. Mr.. Jo-
seph H. Schanfeld, chairman for the
State, desires to state that no matter
what the final total will be for Mime
sofa, the war relief campaign is real
ly not over until every Jew who can
possibly give shall have given, for
ver-subscription by some should not
absolve others from doing their duty.
Mr.. Schanfeld, in reporting the
splendid showing of city and state,
wishes to emphasize that he attributes
the result wholly and solely to the
hearty, self-sacrifcing support of the
countless volunteers who at every
turn were so willing to render service
in every possible way. The expert
stenographers, and those who helped
with the clerical work, addressing,
stamping, folding; the men who COL
lected and canvassed, and above all,
the executive committee of twelve
who gave so nobly of their time, all
had an important share in the final
success.
The following members of the ex-
ecutive committee rendered special
services. I. S. Joseph, vice-chairman
of the committee, ably seconded by
Phillips, Max Shallet and Louis Sohn,
did the extraordinary work in plan
ming and conducting the campaign in
the city which proved so successful.
Irving H. Robitshek, as secretary for
the city and state, devoted special
attention to the listing of subscrip-
tions, arranging for the mass meet
ing and dinner, and responding to
non-Jewish subscribers. He continues
his activities as secretary of the COM
mittee.
Charles Sipkins, assistant secretary,
is the auditor and systematizer of the
pledges. When it is remembered that
there are more than five thousand
individual accounts in Minneapolis
alone, some of which have been par
TALLY paid, and which need constant
attention, the magnitude of Mr.. Sip
kins' work will be realized. In his
department he has been splendidly
assisted by having at his disposal all
the necessary facilities, at the office
of Kronicks, so that one entering the
office would find it hard to determine
whose work Mr.. Sipkins is doing,
Kronicks' or the War Relief's. But
why multiply words? His job is
really just beginning and is to last
until November. i, 1922, when the
final work of the Minneapolis COM
mittee is to be wound up. From all
appearances; Sipkins is enjoying his
job.
I. H. Ruben, treasurer of the en-
tire (state) campaign, brought the
weight of his influence and the
strength of his personality to bear
upon the problems and needs of the
war relief in way that brought re-
suits. 1t would be difficult to esti-
mate the value of his services.
