NEW ACTIVITY

Just below Leonardtown, where
the Potomac River and Breton Bay
meet. is Breton Beach, a new sum-
raer community recently opened to
Washington residents.
Public activity there is very notice
able for the short while Breton Beach
has been open. and the practically
deserted farmland of few months
ago is taking on the appearance Of
community where Washington
residents will find week-ends most
enioyably spent.
Bath houses recently completed
are an added attraction, and the
bathing off a beautiful white sand
beach is exceptional. The public park
recently dedicated is being put to
daily use.

NJ 'kELLIGON
GOES TO FLORENCE
Pleads Guilty and Follows Spouse
to Penitentiary Gets Four to
Seven Years.

PRESCOTT-The McKelligon case
is ended. Two people, man and
woman, are paying the penalty for
the murder of John H. Robinson and
the Staying, yelled in mystery save
for the story, not wholly believed, told
by the two McKelligons, has taken its
place in the county's crime history.
Cloaked in little Of the drama which
characterized the discovery of the
murder and the subsequent trial Of
Eugene T. McKelligon, the case
against his wife, Louise McKelligon,
closed when she appeared in the SD
perior court and rendered plea of
guilty to charge of manslaughter
and was sentenced.
She was sentenced to serve an in
determinate term of not less than
four years nor more than seven years
in the state penitentiary. The woman,
whose emotions are yelled behind an
unsmiling mask, appeared pale, but
apparently in much better health than
she was on that day, just five months
ago to the day, when she appeared in
the Justice court at the coroner's in
quest and refused to talk.
Accompanied by her attorney,
Herman Lewlzowitz, Mrs. McKelligon
stood unfinchingly before the court
and announced that she had deter
mined to withdraw her former plea
OF not guilty and enter one Of guilty
to the manslaughter charge, which
had been recommended by the county
attorney. She had no comment to
make or plea to offer other than
that Of guilty when Judge Lamson
rendered the statutory opportunity to
state any legal cause why sentence
should not be pronounced. The hear
ing occupied only few moments Of
the courts time and was heard by a
mere handful of spectators, which in
cluded the son of the slain man.
McKelligon, following lengthy
trial before Judge j. J. Jenckes of
Maricopa county in December, was
found guilty of manslaughter in con
nection with the former city man
ager's tragic death and is serving a
term Of from seven to ten years in
the state penitentiary at Florence,
where he soon will be joined by his
wife.
In accepting the womans plea Of
guilty in the manslaughter degree,
the county attorney, w. E. Patterson,
today expressed himself as having
acted to the best of his judgment
after comforting with many attorneys
and having studied the situation most
thoroughly.
The testimony in the two cases
would have been identical, the prose-
cutlon held in accepting the plea in
the lower degree and there was con-
siderable doubt concerning the possi-
bllltyof sercuring a verdict Of any
greater severity should Mrs. Nickel
ligon have been brought to trial.
