FORK Times says that a division has
occurred in the ranks of the Colonial
Danes of America and that Mrs.
Henry P. Loomis, president; Mrs.
Lewis Livingston Delafield, vice presi.
dent, and Miss Effie Barrowe, Secre-
tary, have retired and refused to be-
come candidates for reelection.
This dissenSion was caused, the
Times says, by the recent purchase OF
The Adams mansion on East Sixty
first street as a clubhouse for the
organization. The building, in a part
of the city once beautiful but now
overshadowed by two huge gas tanks,
was bought for S45, 900. This move
was opposed by some members, who
said it put too great financial strain
on the society.
Mrs. Loomis, at meeting Thurs.
day, the Times says, assumed full re.
sponsibility for the purchase and of
tered to pay the society every dollar
It has spent on the mansion.
The presidency of the society has
been assumed by Mrs. Charles Law

larly upon Lieut.. Thompson's mental
condition.
The defense indicated that 1t would
show Lieut.. Thompson's mental con-
dition on the night Miss Burleigh was
shot was such that he could not be
declared responsible for his acts.
Two corporals who were on duty at
Fort Mckinley the night of the kill
ing testified that Thompson arrived at
the fort about 1:30 am. In an auto
mobile carrying Miss Burleigh's body.
They said he told them to take care
of the body and then lock him up, be-
cause he had killed the girl.
After Thompson had pleaded not
guilty his counsel stated that the de-
fense admitted the killing, but de-
clared that 1t was not premeditated
and therefore could not be considered
first degree murder.
