Enright Guilty of
Manslaughter, May
Get 20 Year Term

Bath, n. Y, Feb. 25.-(AP)-Michael
Enright today was found guilty of
first degree manslaughter after trial
for the murder. second degree, of his
friend, Timothy Shay, a farm hand.
Under the law Enright, who is a
brother of Richard Enright, former
police commissioner of New York,
may be sentenced to serve 20 years in
prison. Sentence will be pronounced
by Judge Brown Tuesday.
The jury returned its verdict this
morning after about seven hours de-
liberation.
The defendant was charged with
killing Shay with an axe at the En-
right farm home near Campbell last
December after drinking bout. Shays
body was found by the road near the
house and Enright was placed under
arrest after state police found a
blood-stained axe in the rear of the
farmhouse and discovered bloodstains
on Enright's clothing and about the
premises.
The defense maintained that Shay
met with an accident and that Enright
had no knowledge of how he came to
his death. Strenuous efforts were
made to break down the chain of.cir-
cumst;ntial evidence in which the
prosecution enmeshed Enrisht and to
discredit testimony of physicians who
examined Shay's body and said he had
been killed by being struck with an
instrument such as the axe introduced

Russick was the fourth to start
from North Conway, where the rae
ers took off at five minute intervals,
but work into the lead in the first
five miles. Before the teams struck
the hills leading into Chocorua he
was out in front and kept his lead
to the end. st. Goddard started
ninth, and before reaching the half
way mark had pushed ahead of all
except Russick. Bridges, who finish
ed third in the timing, fought well
the first half of the race but fell
behind st. Goddard near West Os-
sipee.
Conditions were excellent, the air
clear and the sky overcast as to
AXE the glare from the hard packed
snow The surface was gritty in
some spots and the sled brakes
caught between deep ruts in others
but otherwise all went well and the
dogs and drivers were in good con-
dition tonight. Only two dogs were
taken into sleds, Francois Dupuis
picking one of his up 20 miles from
the finish and with-feet severely cut
by the ice, and Skeene carrying one
dog for the last 10 or Is miles be-
cause it could not stand the pace.
Every hamlet along the route had
crowds out. and farmers fought
their way over snow-clogged side
roads to see the dogs go by. Sew
eral thousands were on hand at the
finish in front of the postoffice here
and cheered the drivers as they
came in. Snow began 10 minutes
before Russick arrived and was still
falling tonight but local weather
wizards predicted clear weather by
morning.
picturesque figure among the
contenders was Arthur T. Walden,
great local favorite. His sturdy
figure. the ear flaps of his leather
helmet waving in the breeze, showed
up against the sky line. It was
tough fight for him and the other
men. he said, for they found little
level country after leaving Chocorua.
Tomorrow's stretch will take the
racers northwest to Ashland, whence
they will trek for North Conway on
Saturday.

The age of the vehicle is not
known by it's present owner, Ed.
Chaput of North Manchester. who
purchased it within a year or so of
Charles Ward of this city. A boy
who drove it into the city Thursday
declared that he had been offered
a good price for 1t by man who
resides at Coombs' Mills and who
was authority for the statement that
to his knowledge the conveyance
had been in use for the past so years.
1t is such vehicle as Henry Ford
might well purchase to add to his
valuable collection.
1t will be noticed that it is of a
design different from the sleighs of
today. From the top of the dash
to the top of the back of the seat
the frame is constructed in a half
circle, apparently with no joints.
The runners are of sturdy construc-
ton and the entire sleigh although
bearing every evidence of much hard
usage is still in shape to render val
liant service.

Expect Definite
Action This Week
On Kennebec Bridge

Special to the Kennebec JournaD
Bath. Feb. 25-Interest in the Ken
nebec bridge was renewed Wednes-
day afternoon and definite action Is
expected to be taken sometime this
week in connection with preparing to

Of the Bridge commission were on
hand and 1t is understood that plans
were made for the completion of the
drawing Of the final plans. The con-
tract between the bridge commission

not little discussion during the meet
ing.
With Industrial conditions at al
most ebb, it is hoped by the Bath
public that the bridge project will be
gotten underway as rapidly as pos
slbe, as actual construction will
mean boom to Bath ond to the con-

Ponzi Appears Little
Concerned Over New
Charges Against Him

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 25-(AP)--
Charles Ponzi, financial wizard" at
liberty under two different bonds to-
night, apparently was unperturbed
over the latest charges filed against
him. Surrendering at the office OF
the federal commissioner today, the
former Bostonian was released on his
own recognizance on federal charge
of using the mails to defraud.
The charge was filed yesterday at
the request of postal inspectors. Pom
ri was already under $4,000 bond for
violating state laws regulating bust
ness conducted under trust. The
charges grew out Of his Charpon
Land Syndicate promotion. by which
Ponzi promised big dividends to those
who bought ten dollar lots from him.
A preliminary hearing on the fed
eral charge will be given March 4.
State courts will hear his motion to
dismiss the state charges on April 1.
Meanwhile the land promoter also
continues under bond from Massa-
chusetts on charges growing out OF
his International reply coupon deal
ings there.

Washington, Feb. 25-(AP)-Bar-
ring a slip-up in plans the tax reduc-
ton bill will become law tomorrow.
Announcement that PresidentCo
idge would sign the measure at ten
A. M. was made late today at the
White House after the engrossed
copy had been received from con-
gress and sent to the treasury for a
last minute check for possible flaws.
Reference to the treasury was
largely Formally. as Secretary Mel
lon had expressed approval of the
bills provisions, although its esti-
mated 1887, 100000 reduction in taxes
exceeded the maximum he had de-
clared was safe.
While department experts were ex-
amining the final draft of the pro-
posal. Mr.. Mellon went to the White
House to recommend personally to
the president that he give it his ap-
prevail.
In his comment on the bill, Mr..
Mellon said the government should
have little difficulty in meeting its
financial needs after the revised sche-
dulles become effective if congress ex-
ercised caution in authorizing new
appropriations.
Secretary Hoover. discussing the
probable effect of the legislation en-
business, predicted 1t would result
in added savings for investment and
consequently benefit business gener-
ally.
The commerce department head
said he foresaw no slump in business
and industry that would serve fur
Their to reduce revenues with a pos
sibe treasury deficit resulting.

Love Wire"
OF Actress
Only a Joke

New York. Feb. 25.-(AP)-Wil-
liam Kevitt Manton today described
as q huge joke" telegram, con-
tanning affectionate phrases, alleged
to have been sent to him by Marjorie
Rambeau, theatrical star, named as
correspondent in Mrs. Manton's di-
vorce suit.
Mrs. Rambeau's fiance, Albert Ed
ward Arson. an actor. testified that
he sent the message.
Miss Rambeau, vino took the stand
late in the day, burst into tears as
she vehemently denied allegations of
improprieties with Manton.
Manton testified that he had been
enaployed by Miss Rambeau as a
cuist, his duties being to read the
portions of speeches Immediately pre-
ceding her lines while she was learn
ing a part for a new play.
He said that in this work he was
available at any time. having some-
times called at 1.30 A. M. He testi-
fled that they were rehearsing a new
play on the night of August 20. when
Mrs. Manton visited Mrs. Rambeau's
apartment at that hour and found
Miss Rambeau in negligee.
He asserted that, contrary to al
legations he was fully clothed. except
for his coat and collar. which he had
removed because of the heat. In an
swer to question by his attorney he
pronounced his wife as undoubtedly
the most attractive woman in the
world" When asked directly if he
had any improper relations with Miss
Rambeau he answered.: Il certainly
did not; never in my life."
The telegram, which Mrs. Manton
stated in her petition caused her first
to be suspicious of her husband, was
quoted as follows:
Darling, l love you and nothing
can keep us apart but the Harlem
AS the only conniver said. Don't be
carnivorous?' Your old pal in crime
Marjorie Rambeau."
Arson, who said he expected to
marry Miss Rambeau before June,
testified that he sent the telegram to
Manton as a humorous message" on
the occasion of the opening of Miss
Rambeau's show. in which Manton
had a small part. Arson asserted
that the phrase your pal in crime"
was only stock quotation of the
theatrical profession.

Whether built in the year 1776, or
whether that date, painted in large
figures on the back of an ancient
sleight was placed there to COM
memorate an important date in
American history-that Is the ques-
ton that perplexed many people
who saw the above equipage on the
city streets Thursday. In addition
to these figures the upper back panel
bears a picture Of George Wash
ington and upon the dash there was
another picture of Washington, this
one being of young man with a
horse. This latter picture, however,
is much the worse for wear and al
most obliterated.
Because of the Photographic prop
critics of the yellow paint with which
the sleight was covered and the
aged appearance of the black paint
with which the large figures were
inscribed upon the back panel, the
figures do not show in the picture
but they are quite distinct upon the
vehicle itself. The two pictures are
