KILLED FOR REFUSING
TO AID In BLACKMAIL
Officials Believe Dorothy keenan,,
Pretty Model, Was Slain Because
She Resisted Blackmailers.
.(Bx Asgociated Press Leased wire

II
New York City - The Dorothy
keenan, murder case today developed
tip that the model had been slain
for refusal to cooperate in a plot to
blackmail the mysterious 'Mr. Mar.
shall" her elderly and wealthy admir-
er.
A score of detectives were despatch
ed to check up on confidential informa-
ton received by the police to the eff
feet that Miss keenan, had in her pos
session package of letters from him
e This information came as a sensa-
ton after it had been reported that
''Mr. MARSHALL reputed to- be a Bos-
ton man, kept his real name from the
girl.
The letters from Mr.. Marshall,
were said to have been in Miss Keen
ans apartment on West Fifty-seventh
street the night before she was found
dead in bed with an empty chloroform
bottle nearby. The. originator of the
blackmail plot was reported to have
threatened Miss keenan, because OF
her refusal and she was said to have
placed in her private vault at the Ma
tional City bank at least one letter
The police said the box would be OBJ
ened today.
The model was said to have told
friends of the blackmail suggestion
and they informed "Mr. MARSHALL"
who was reported to have gone to the
keenan, suite the night of the murder
to get the letters.
The police reported several persons
had keys to the apartment and adj
vanced the theory that promoters of
the blackmail plot, finding themselves
thwarted, chloroformed the girl and
then took whatever jewels they could
find.
Detectives were searching today for
"a hitherto unmentioned character who
was alleged to have threatened the
girl and held her in fear for six
months.

EUGENICS Law
is REPEALED
without a Dissenting Vote Assembly
Sends to Engrossment Bill to Re-
peal Nuptial Eugenics Law.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

by Associated Press Leased Wire)
Madison, Wis.-Repaal of the Wis
consln eugenies law, requiring an ante
huptlal physical examination before
issuance of marriage license, was
voted by the assembly of the legisla-
ture today with engrossment of the
Spoor bill. There was not dissenting
vote. The Spoor bill would put an end
to the eugenics law which has served
as an object of attack in successive
session of the Legislature. Recently
the senate refused to extend the scope
of the statute to include women within
the compulsory examinations.
Thousands of innocent couples are
induced each year to leave the state to
be married, with resulting unjust re-
Election upon them, through operation
of the eugenics law, Assent lyman
Newcomb Spoor, author of the repeal
bill, said. He declared that Wisconsin
ministers were losing large sums of
money as a direct result Of the law
which cuts the number of marriages
consummated in the state, while coUn-
ties were losing additional amounts
through cut in the number of mar
riage licenses issued
On top of this, the assemblyman as
serted that the examinations were
merely perfunctory and often made by
physicians merely looking in the mans
mouth, rather than by a thorough
diagnosis
Assemblyman A. f. Matheson, yanes-
vile, urged that the eugenics law be
looked upon as an educational measure
admitting its faults. His stand was
not seconded by the lower house, how

Court Dismisses the First Charge of Embezzle-
ment Against A. NJ. Russell, Formerly
of Russell Company.
mo INTENT TO EMBEZZLE MONEY
While Court Condemns Way in Which Affairs of the
Company Were Handled it Holds There Was
No Attempt to Embezzle

that despite all these things the de-
PENDANT could not legally be bound
over for trial on charge Of embezzle-
ment.
''Embezzlement," it states, may be
defined generally as the unlawful ap-
preparation of property to his own use
by an officer, clerk or servant to whom
the possession has been entrusted by
or for the owner. The word 'embez-
zle, however, likewise implies a fraud
ulent attempt"
"The unlawful issuing of the check
and misrepresentation of the funds of
the company do not constitute en-
bezzlement unless the defendant acts
with felonious and fraudulent intent"
Discharges Defendant.
In summing up the decision of the
court, which was lengthy one and is
given above only in part, Judge Slater,
stated:
'The defendant claims in substance
that he assumed in good faith that he
was within his legal rights in issuing
said check and applying the same to
the payment of his personal obliga-
ton, assumed and negotiated as he
contends (and the claim is not seri-
ously disputed) for the interest and
benefit of the company, or proposed
corporation, and that the directors,
or majority of the board, had knowl-
edge Of the transaction, apparently
assented to the same, at least made
no objection.
''This action, or non-action, of the
directors, together with the other
facts and circumstances disclosed at
the hearing, would seem to negative
an intentional wrong disposal, on part
of defendant, indicating design to
cheat and deceive the owner, and
raises a reasonable doubt of the fell
onious and fraudulent intent requisite
to constitute The crime of embezzle-
ment.
''The motion of defendant that the
action be dismissed and defendant dis
charged is granted"
Attorney Clifford E. Randall, who
represented the defendant, declared
that efforts would be made immedi-
ately to have the other embezzlement
charges dropped on the same grounds.
District Attorney Morris Barnett gave
no statement as to what action the
state would now take regarding them.
