MR.. C0NVERY i.
TELLS Of CITY
Old Resident of This City
Speaker Before the His
toricaI Society

In honor of the appearance of
Patrick Convery. one of Perth Am
boys oldest citizens, the auditor
ium of the Public Library was taxed
to capacity for the session of the
Historical Society on Friday night.
Mr., Convery was accompanied to
The auditorium by Charles K. Sea-
man, a representative of the society.
He was Immediately introduced by
Harold E. Pickersgille who presided
at the meeting. The speaker talked
of Perth Amboy for an hour and a
quarter and at the end of his ad-
dress the meeting was declared
closed, after which those present
crowded around him and asked
questions for another lengthy pc
riod.
Seventy-one years ago, Mr.. Con-
very came to this city, he informed
his audience on Friday night and
all this time was spent in Perth
| Amboy with the exception CT three
years he was in New York. mas
much as his family vas here he also
visited here a great many times
during that time.
Conditions of the streets and side
walks, the general condition of the
city, politics, town meetings, old
fashioned strawrides, oyster sup
pers at local hotels, salt water days
and other rackets were discussed
by Mr.. Convery and his audience
fairly devoured his story.
Mr.. Convery gave an interesting
tale about the farmers who came TO
this city to buy oysters and II they
felt they were not treated right
would return on salt water day in
tent on cleaning up the town. There
were two factions of people in those
days, the speaker explained, the land
and water people.
A trip to State street was a long
distance for the water folk to go IN
the old days, Mr.. Convery declared
and If any of this class went as FAR
a. the Barracks they would discuss
it for a long period.
The speaker told of his associa-
ton with James Parker, father of
the late Cortland Parker. James
Parker was born three months be-
fore the signing of the Declaration
of independence and during his talk
of his association with this man, the
presiding officer pointed u that the
lives of the speaker and the man he
was discussing, covered the history
of the nation.
Mgr. William P. Cantwell and Rev.
Father Francis Medallion of st.
Mary's church were among those
present. and Samuel Garretson who
also was present told those in at
endance as to the accuracy or Mr..
Convery's remarks and of the many
interesting occurrences IN
speech.

DENIES WOMAN
KILLED BISHOP
Mother of Dead Girl RefuteS
Story of Murder and
Suicide

HAvRE, Montana, Oct. 30
While Mrs. Christler today was on
an eastbound train accompanying
the body of her slain husband, Rev.
Leonard J.. Christler. rector of st.
Marks Episcopal church and known
as the stBishop of All Outdoors"
Mrs. Joseph lyle. mother of Mrs.
Margaret Carleton, whose body was
found beside that of Christler. is
attempting to prove that her daugh-
Ter did not commit murder ana
suicide.
The coroner's jury brought in a
verdict yesterday stating that Mrs.
Carleton killed the Rev. Christler
and then shot herself. The tragedy
occurred early Friday morning.
Mrs. Christler left with the body
of her husband for Waterloo, N. Y,
yesterday morning.
In spite of the c~oroner's jury YER
dict Mrs. lyle has employed an at
torney and is endeavoring to find
evidence that will prove her daugh-
ter did not commit the crime.
II do not believe Margaret did
it," said Mrs. lyle shortly after her
arrival in Havre from her home in
Butte. Il shall not be satisfied until
I find who owned the gun"
Her reference was to a SO calibre
revolver in the hands of Mrs. Carle-
ton when the bodies were discover
ed.
A small .22 calibre revolver she
customarily carried was found in
Mrs. Cartoons handbag.
Mrs. lyle is now engaged in
piecing together bits of a torn letter
found in a waste basket in her
daughters room and which she de-
a1a n a. - NJ o. -1.N@-H- IN-l---.L
ing. That Mrs. Carleton had an in
f~atuation for the minister is admit
ted by Mrs. lyle.
The letter said to be from Mr..
Carleton, dated August 25, says in
part:
"I have been thinking a great
deal lately it is not fair that you
should have any legal restraint
upon you There is absolutely
no chance for happiness for you as
my wife. 49,. There are lots of
good successful men who would
make you happy. Probably you
have met one ere this. If this is
so I am mighty happy and will do
all I a to fix things so that you
can be free to marry"
Attached to this letter was one
said to be in the handwriting of
Rev. Mr.. Christler. In part it says:
Am amazed at Franks attitude.
Why not be honest with ourselves?
When his beginning of honest is to
pay the debt he contracted while
you two were partners. then talk
about a move to the next rtep. why
buck in such a manne what he
owes your mother and elsewhere
the liabilities Of both of you-and
pack all the burden of debt on your
heart and shoulders.

ing to help"
