MESSAGES TO CUBA BEING CENSORED

TOOK POISON WHILE
DRUNK, POLICE THINK
Dead Man Assigned Prop.
erty to Partner Last
Friday.

New. York, Aug. 29.-Poliee today
leaned toward the. theory of suicide
by poison as an explanation of the
mysterious death of John H. Sutphen.
private secretary, whose body was
found Sunday on a couch in his luxu-
rious $4,000 year Central Park
West apartment.
Financial reverses and failing health
his physician had cautioned him
against further drinking-formed the
basis for this theory, although Assist
ant District Attorney Wilson previous
ly had said his investigation had show
ed that several persons would benefit
from Sutphen's death.
Fhe police said the suicide theory
was strengthened by discovery that
on Friday, Sutphen, who spent S15,-
600 year i'm quest of gaiety in the
white light district and lavished as
much as $500 a week in favors to head
walters and orchestra leaders, had as
signed his property to Ernest A. Dun
lea. a partner.
Previously, it was said, Sutphen had
tried to assign his property to Robert
c. Spohn. an advertising promoter,
who declined the offer. he told police,
because he suspected Sutphen contem-
plated suicide.
The police now believe that SUIT
phen's Saturday night party. in which
he was joined by Mr.. and Mrs. Spohn,
and the latter's sister. was his last
flourish and that while intoxicated he
swallowed a capsule of poison.

FOR WEDNESDAY, GOES
OVER UNTIL OCTOBER
Defense Motion for Con
tinuance Granted BY
Judge M'Crory.

Trial Of Lennie Anderson, one of the
&c men arrested at the hstime Club
when state rangers under Adjutant
General Thomas d. Barton inaugu-
rated his "clean up campaign in San
Antonio, and who, with five Others
was indicted by the Bexar county
grand jury, will not come up until
the second or third week of the reg
ular October term OF the 9th district
Court. This was. determined Wednes-
day when a motion for continuance,
filed by Chambers, Watson and John
son, attorneys for Anderson, was
granted by Judge W. w. McCrory.

ground upon which the continuance
was granted.
Z The two cases against Anderson had
been set for last Wednesday but were
passed by order Of Judge McCrory.

morning, and none of the witnesses
for the defense answered to their
names, counsel FOR Anderson requested
time 10 file a motion fer continuance.
This was granted and the motion pre-
scented to the court at IL o'clock.
The motion set out that the wit
nesses were all material and that by
them the defense expected TO refute
the indictments charging that Ander-
son had operated gan ing house and
bank. The district attorney inquired
if due diligence had been exercised in
searching for the witnesses, question
ing Deputy Sheriff Charles Peters<as
to each witness. The cotrt held that
the motion on its face was good, TO
which the district attorney agreed.
The district attorney then suggest
ed an early setting for tie cases and
that subpoenaes for the witnesses be
issued long enough ahead so that se--.
vice could be had eon them. Judge.
McCrory informed him that the first
week of the October erm of court
would be devoted 10 clea.ing up old
cases on the docket enc that the gam
bling cases must take their, turn along
with other indictments returned By
the Oath grand jury. 1t is possible.
Judge McCro-y said, that the cases
can be reached during the second or
third week of the term.
