ton of launch in which two men giving
their names as James r. Burns and Fred
Smith, were picked up at sea, as being
the Cuban launch Murgados, whose cap
tain and engineer were killed by two men
who boarded her near Havana several
days ago, was made by a Havana news
paperman who came here tonight
Bullet Holes In Hull
Burns and Smith were arrested yes
terday at Rebecca Light at the instiga-
tion of Cuban authorities, following the
return to Havana OF the captain of the
Spanish fishing smack, who reported he
had found the two men in disabled
launch, had picked them up and later
put them ashore at Rebecca Light Bull
let holes were found in the woodwork of
the launch, and according to officials, it
has been identified in local shipping cir
cles as one built here during the compile
ton of the Florida East Coast Railway
extension and later sold to Cuban in
terests.
Wanted For Robbery.
According to the officials, Burns today
admitted his real name is Ernest Rosen-
baum and that his home is at Louisville.
Ky, while Smith is now said to give his
name as Harold H. Haven of Buffalo.
N. Y. He is wanted there, officials quote
him as saying, for robbing the Buffalo
Bakery Company of $4,000. The two
men, however, deny any connection with
the deaths of the two Cubans, asserting
they have never been in Havana or any
part of Cuba. They claim the launch was
purchased from a man named McGovern
in Miami, from which city they left for
fishing trip. The engine went bad
however, and they were cast adrift until
picked UP by the Spanish fishing smack.
Awaiting Further Identity.
Federal officials concerned with the
case, announced today that their further
action awaited advices from higher au-
tborities. Manuel Rios, Cuban youth,
who escaped the Murgados when she was
boarded by the two men and the engineer
and captain killed, did not come here
today to identify the two as had been
expected. The Cuban Consul said he was
without information from his government
concerning the case, and that he did
not know whether Rios would come here.

BOotlegger Queen
Tells How She Was
Duped by Cassese

NEW YORK, Aug. "Details of the
unconventional romance that finally
landed 10 year old Mrs. Edith Stevens
in Jail as an alleged bootlegger queen
were drawn from her lips when she
was called to the stand for cross ex-
animation in federal court in Brook
lyn today at her trial for violation Of
the, Yolstead act.
She went calmly again over her
story of her first meeting with An
thony Cassese, alleged bootlegger king.
They met she said, in a cemetery,
where he nearly ran her down with his
automobile; her first clandestine din
ner with him In Fifth avenue hotel;
her final decision to abandon her poor
young husband for the wealth Cassese
promised to shower on her and finally
of the cruise to the Bahamas on his
yacht-named in her honor, which re-
suited in her arrest.
Love Is Gone
he admitted she had sat once on the
deck and checked off the burlap bags
which were loaded into the hold. But
all the time she insisted she had
thought the cargo was tobacco.
IT was very much in love with Cas-
sese' she said. ST did not ask him
about his business. He told me he was
in the tobacco business and I believed
him."
Are you still in love with him?"
commanded Assistant United States
Attorney Blue.
Her eyes wavered a moment and
then she answered:
Not any longer. I thought him a
wonder man-but I have found him
different"
Cassese, disappeared after he and
Mrs. Stevenes had been indicted leav-
ing her-she declares-penniless.
