Doubt Cripple's
Story of Staying
Brooklyn Woman

Philadelphia, Aug. 10 - (AP) -
Thomas McAvoy, a crippled pencil
peddler. who startled police head
quarters here yesterday by claiming
he was the man who last May killed
Miss Florence Kane in a vacant lot
in Brooklyn, N. Y, last night was
declared insane and physically in
capable of having committed the
crime.
A New York police official. Phila-
delphia detectives, together with a
prominent alienist of this city. were
united today in the belief that Nc
Avoy is mentally unbalanced.
McAvoy, whose talk sent William
Seckinger of the New York murder
squad hurrying to this city in the
hope of finding the man who was
guilty of committing one of New
York's most brutal murders in recent
years, said he murdered the girl IN
vengeance against her brother,
Thomas Kane, a New York detective,
because Kane once beat him up"
Officials. however, believe Nc
Avoy's story is the result of too
much reading about Staying. In ad-
dition, said DR.. Elwood Kirby, tie
alienist who examined him. the mans
brain is undermined by excessive use
of alcohol.
