SAYS she earned during a stage and

"also known as Juliette Reilly
stated that her mother. Mrs. Char

Miles Reilly" repeatedly had re-
fused to make any accounting.
The sums received by Mrs. Shelby
from time to time included, accord
ing to the complaint. 100000 earned
by Miss Minter under a contract with
the Famous Players-Lasky Corpora
ton during the years 1920-23. Her
total earnings she was unable to esti-
mate accurately, she said. but was
confident the sum ran into seven
figures.
The court was asked to order Mrs.
Shelby to account at once for all
money received on behalf of her
daughter and all property purchased

NEW PORT, r. l.. January 3n.-Pri-
vate George c. Cordy, who confessed
yesterday. according to the Provi-

Gleason, Newport domestic, whose
body was found last Sunday in a
moat at Fort Adams, was turned over
to the military authorities after sew
eral hours of questioning by the New
port police authorities. He will ap-
pear before a military court named
some days ago to investigate the cir
cumstances of the woman's death on
the reservation.
Cordy was arrested as a result of an
undated letter received by the police.
Il threw Mary Gleason into the
moat at Fort Adams last Tuesday
night" the letter said. That's all l
care to tell at present and will give
myself up to you in a day or two.
The letter was signed Private

Not Entirely Satisfied
Chief Patrick l.. Sweeney of the
Newport police and the Fort Adams
authorities refused to accept Cordy' S
alleged confession as entirely gen
uine, although admitting his story
explained a number of matters in con-
nection with the girls death. Cordy
said that he had been absent without
leave from January IL, and on the
night of January 10, just one day be-
fore the ten-day period ended which
would make him a deserter, he de-
cided to return to Fort Adams.
AS he reached the main entrance to
the fort, the alleged confession said
he saw Miss Gleason, with whom he
had formerly kept company. He &C
costed her, and when she refused
to speak to him, he followed her. Near
the parapet of the moat he knocked
her down, he said, and she rolled
under the railing and fell 30 feet.
If Cordy's story is accepted by the
military court, he will be turned over
to the Federal authorities at Provi-
dence for trial, it was said.

HERRIN Ill, January 30.-The
chief figures in bitter fractional
strife which frequently in recent

into a fury controlled only by the in
fiux of National Guardsmen rested to-

1t would be only a short time until
hatred would force new fighting be-
tween partisans of the two who shot
each other to death, along with two
of Young's followers, last Saturday
night.
Young's body followed that of
Thomas to the cemetery yesterday
amidst scenes unparalleled in Will

staying to the coroners jury. No
session was held today, and it was
stated that of tomorrow probably
would be the last. 1t would connect
the odds and ends of testimony and
possibly pursue some new leads, 1t
was stated.
A report that two men were wound
ed. when Thomas faced Young in a
little cigar store and began firing
was under investigation today The
jury was said to have learned the
names of those men from doctors yes
terday.
Unless more definite information
was obtained it appeared that the
coroner's jury could make but one
definite finding-that Thomas killed
Young-with the precise manner of
the deaths of Thomas and Young's
adherents, Edward Forbes and Homer
Warren, left to conjecture.
