Scrivener was eulogized by his
chief, Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, super
intendent of police. Major HeSse
said:
"Scrivener was loyal and eff

feed his own interests for the good
Of the community. When it came
to a question Of performance of
duty he never knew what hours
were, giving his whole time to the
duties in hand.
"Scrivner was by far the most
courteous man on the force. He
was fearless. and in his death the
department has lost one of its
best men"
During his ii years on the
police force ScriVener had received
no less than II concentrations for
exceptional loyalty to duty and
bravery" Inspector William S. Shell

Girl Hears His Groans
Scrivener was murdered when he

O'Clock this morning.

that it was the backfire OF an auto

Associating the groans with the
report that she had heard, she be-

someone had come into the alley

saw the necktie clutched in the
lifeless hand.
The first thought that came to
him was to get Detective Scrivener
to investigate.
He went across the street to
Scrivener's home and asked Edward
r. Norris, his roommate if he was
in.
Norris said that Scrivener had
not returned but volunteered to ac-
company the policeman across the
street.
Reaching the body, they lighted
a match and Norris recognized his
roommate.
Victim of Highwayman
AS soon as the identity of the
murdered man was discovered, the
Seventh precinct police notified
police headquarters. who in turn.
called Major Edwin B. Hesse, super
Henry G. Pratt, chief Of detec.
tives.
Every available man in the Pc
Ice Department was then called
to duty. They spent the entire

Today every police official, in
Guiding Inspector Evans. Stoll and
Harrison, are working on the case,
and Major Hesse stated that there
was little doubt in his mind that
the murderer would be captured
today.
The theory under which the po-
lice are working is that Scrivener
was murdered by a thug, seeking
his money and not knowing the
identity of the man whom he at
tackled.
Woman Sees Three Men
Scrivener, together with his
partner, Detective Edward j..
Kelly, and Detective Thomas
Sweeney, had attended the boxing
matches at Kenilworth, and the
former took his companions nome
before placing his car in the
garage.
Miss Anna E. stauff. "a years
old. 1855 Wisconsin Ave. n. W.,
whose room in adjoining the alley
in which Scrivener's garage was
located, stated today that she had
seen three men in the alley during
the afternoon and evening.
One of the men, wearing a blue
shirt. dark trousers and a SLOUGH
hat, had remained there when his

That this was the man who
killed Scrivener is a certainty. she
said today.
While the detective was placing
his car in the garage she heard
voices and thought that he had
brought someone home with him.
She heard them go down the al

unable to go to the street. she said.
His Roommate Robbed
1t was just across the street, in
the mouth Of another alley that
Scrivener's roommate, Norris, was
held up and robbed a year ago.
Sergt. Minor E. FUR, who was
but a block distant from the scene
of the shooting. heard the shot but
he too thought that it was caused
by an automobile.
Detective Fred Sandberg, finger

Mills murder was issued recently
by Special Prosecutor Alexander

lice Inspector John Underwood, of
Jersey City, alleged Di Martini

Writ Is Dismissed
Di Martini was employed four
years ago by counsel for Mrs. Han

Rev. Edward w. Hall, her hus-
band, and Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills,
Halls choir singer in New Bruins

Inspector Underwood's affidavit

Underwood substantially charges

The court pointed out that Dl
Martini's application did not ques-

but challenged the sufficiency of
Inspector Underwood's affidavit in
which Di -Hartini was alleged to
have given assistance to the guilty
persons after the crime.
The same facts were presented to
Governor Smith in applying for
the extraditiOn of Di Martini and
the Governor consented to the ex-
tradition, the decision pointed out.
The question OF whether the af-

COUNTING THE COST.

Fash person has his or her opin-
ion about primary elections. The
good citizen goes to the polls and
votes; the next best thinks about
going, then doesn't, while the fellow
con the other extreme" just makes
up his mind that he won't vote.
1t has long been recognized that
a general apathy prevails, not only
at the primaries but also on general
election days. And for this reason
it might be well to look more deeply
into the why's and wherefores OF
elections.
For instance, the cost. Our County
Commissioners have figured that the
last Primary election in this county
cost the county, on an average, fif-
ty-four cents for every person who
voted. Get that, every person who
voted. But all did not vote.
Now fifty-four cents might seem
a trife, to some, but when the total
cost, $7181.88, is mentioned it's an
"eye-opener." The county must pay,
and you and | as citizens help pay
it. Therefore, when election day
comes around, be it Primary or
General, each qualified voter should
go to the polls and cast his ballot
if not prompted by duty, as should
be the case, then for goodness sake
vote "to get your moneys worth
for you must help pay it.
But rather consider it duty and
an honor. -Quakertown Free Press.

MAUDLIN SENTIMENTALITY

Down in "wd and woody" Texas, where men are
men and women are governors, a preacher last week
shot to death in cold blood. Then he piousy pro-
claimed that he beat him to it" when the man he
killed threantened him. But | not informed that the
slain man even armed.
And on Sunday morning six thousand people, (count
emil went to hear this preacher murdered proclaim
from his pulpit.
How many of those people, do you think, were
there to gain spiritual uplift and soul healing balm?
Out in California where lemons are lemons and
movie bathing beauties, preacher
recently disappeared. Foul play feared, and her
parishioners raised huge of money to conduct
search and to offer rewards
Immediately this was made public this woman
preacher reappeared with cock andbu story of hav-
ing been kidnapped while she bathing at the beach,
and that she had been confined in lonely cabin until
she succeeded in making her escape.
But the authorities had learned that man, with
whom she suspicousy friendly, had disappeared at
the time. So they secuted the little fairy story
the preacher told about her kidnapping, and
Investigations gave the lie to her claims.
However, her church has been crowded since then
by the morbidy curious sentimentalsts who to hear
her preach
