Klein of Waterbury. It was then too late for Andrews to appear and state lis side of the case.
 Yesterday morning about l6 o'clock Andrews appeared in the Of
 ice of Attorney James T. Nather in this city and discussed the, case with him. When leaving. accord ing to Mir. Mather, he was in d highly emotional frame of mind be- cause of last Fridays decision.
 Bickerings between Andrews and members of his wites family began almost immediately after his mar riaSe to Esther Gustafson. Prior to the marriage, according to state- ments made by Andrews, his pros pective father-in-law agreed to give him lot if he would agree to erect q house on it. This Andrews did but shortly after the marriage, Peter Gu5tafson, the father-in- Jaw, deeded the lot 10 Mrs. Andrews. his daugh- ter. Finally trouble arose between Andrews. his wife and her people and Mrs. Andrews filed suit for divoce, which was granted by Judge l.. F. Nickerson last December in the superior court in Hartford Al that time, Mrs. Andrews was grant ed the custody of the child During the divorce proceedings she turned her property back to her father and 1t was during the divorce trial that Andrews agreed to vacate the prop erty. provided he would be permit ted to remove his workshop from the premises.

 Child Dies Immediately
 The little girl was struck in the right breast and neck and died im- mediately. Her lunch basket was thrown a distance of about 10 feet and landed on the running board of Andrews automobile. Her school books were found underneath her covered with blood. Mrs. Andrews was breathing faintly when Dr. E. B. Robbins. police surgeon, Detective Sergeant Daniel McGillicuddy and Ohicers Aldie Brault and Joseph Strup arrived on the scene. She died, however, without resaining consciousness.
 Mrs. Peter Gustafson. Mrs. Andrews mother. was seated in the front window of her home and wit messed the horrible spectacle. It was she who furnished the information that the little girl had been the first to fall. It is the belief of the police that Andrews had carefully planned to have the mother of the child witness the little ones death.
 Medical Examiner Arthur s. Bracket. after viewing the remains. gave permission for their removal to the undertaking parlors of C. Funk and Son.
 Forbidden to See Child
 \ decision of Judge l.. Waldo Marvin in tho superior court at Hartford last Friday, by which Andrews would be permitted to see his child only once every two weeks was believed to have been responsi ble for the tragedy. The action of the court was taken on the petition of Attorney Noble E. Pierce of this city on behalf of Mrs. Andrews, request ing that . former ruling which per mitted Andrews to have his child two weeks every month be rescind- ed. This latter agreement was in ef- feet during the months of July. August and September.
 What particularly aggravated Andrews. it is pointed out. is the fact that he was unaware Of the hearing last Friday until he received word from his attorney. Clayton

After Drink of Whisky
With Powder.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, November 28.-The
mysterious death here of Thomas
Walker, formerly a British army officer
and reputedly wealthy, was being in
vestigated today by the Hollywood
police.
Mrs. Walker, the only witness to the
death, told the police her husband fell
unconscious after taking a drink of
whisky in which he apparently had
poured a powder designed to rid him of
cold. He died shortly afterward. She
declared Walker had been in good
spirits and had no reason for taking
his own life.
When Walker was taken to a receiv-
ing hospital attendants found six photo
graphs of young woman and a jade
bracelet tucked inside his vest. Detec-
tives admitted that they were seeking
to learn the identity of a mystery
girl" and were working on the theory
that some one had substituted poison
for the harmless powders.
Police chemists reported that the
powder" was deadly poison.

WIDOWS VANISHING
REMAINS MYSTERY
Clues Indicating Murder Be-

LOUISVILLE. KY, November 2S.-
The Rogers case,-a mystery in which
Mrs. Ella Mcdowell Rogers, prett,
young widow, vanished from her apart
ment in the fashionable Cherokee Parl
residential section on the night of Oc'
tober 7-continued to battle police to-
day as detectives resumed an investi
cation which has been under way fol
weeks.
Officers who have exhausted them.
selves in investigating a multitude o.
rumors and reports are awaiting the re.
suit of a chemical examination o.

ment. Investigators think this sub
stance may be the remains of incin.
Grated bone.
In further support of the belief that
Mrs. Rogers was slain and her body
disposed of in the apartment, officers
have delivered two furnace crate bars
and a wrench. found in the basement
of the apartment, to a chemist. The
bars atnd wrench bear marks which
appear suspicious and the chemist has
been asked If they are blood stains.
Suicide Report Denied.
A report current recently that Mrs.
Rogers had ended her life because of a
reported estrangement with Hal Harmed,
banker of Dawson Springs, KY, was
strongly denied yesterday by the latter,
Harmed. an old friend of Mrs. Rogers
and her family, is the last known per-
son to see Mrs. Rogers before her dis
appearance.
Harmed called at Mrs Rogers apart
ment on the night of her disappearance
shortly after she had returned from a
visit to Chicago and cities in the East
While preparing to leave, Harmed said
the lights in Mrs. Rogers apartment
suddenly failed. Harmed said he offered
to investigate whether fuse had been
blown, but Mrs. Rogers dismissed him
after declaring she would attend to the
adjustment herself.
Police have found no one who has
seen the young widow since Harmed
left, although taXicab driver reported
having driven woman answering her
general description to the Union Rail-
way Station about the time of her re-
ported disappearance. The chauffeur
who was not certain as to the exact
date, said the woman appeared highly
nervous and worried and read two let
ters while en- route to the station. The
chauffeur said the woman remarked
that this is troublesome world, isn't
it?" after reading the letters.
Find Apartment Unoccupied.
Mrs. Rogers was missed a few days
after Harned'S visit. when friends and
relatives went to the apartment and
found it unoccupied. but with the table
set and remnants of meal still on the
plates. Mrs. Rogers travelling bags
were unmolested, where she had left
them upon returning from Chicago, and
her effects were in place.
Philip Haynes, colored man, who was
employed as janitor at the apartment
at the time of Mrs. Rogers disappear
ance, has been in Jail several days ION
an old charge" and has been subjected
to a severe grilling by officers.
Police, despite the lengthy investiga-
ton. have been unable to find definite
motive for the Staying of the young
woman, nor have they found a reason
why she should absent herself so mys-
teriously.

M'MANUS SILENT
IN Staying PROBE
Friend of Rothstein Refuses
to Name Killer, Despite
Immunity Promise.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 28.-George
A. McNTanus, held on a charge of mur-
dier, was the Sphinxlike enigma of the
Rothstein case today.
The man who "could clear up this
mystery in three minutes" to quote
District Attorney Banton, occupied a
cell in Jail, refusing to tell what he
knows about the Staying of his friend,
Arnold Rothstein.
Before him dangled Banton's bait
a promise of immunity from prosecu-
ton if he would talk.
When he refused to tell Banton what
took place the night of November 4
in room $40 of the Park Central Hotel,
where Rothstein was shot and Nc
Manus' overcoat was found, he was
locked up without bail to await hear
ing Friday.
While the authorities were trying to
induce McManuS to give himself up,
it was made plain they did not sus-
pect him of being the actual slayer,
although he was arrested on a charge
of first-degree murder.
Surrenders in Barber Shop.
His attorney, James D. c. Murray,
said McManus had failed to come for
ward sooner because he was confident
Rothstein had named the actual slayer
Police had sought McNIanus without
avail ever since Rothstein was shot on
November 4. He notified them last
night that he would surrender in q
Bronx barber shop. When the appoint
ment was kept by detective on the
district attorneys staff, McManus was
already in the barber shop, getting his
morning shave.
Rothstein, slow-pay gambler, who
gave o US, but took cash, was sit
| ting in Lindy's restaurant in the white
| light district on the night of Novem-
| ber when he was called to the tele-
| phone. When he hung up the receiver
| he got his hat and coat and went away
George McManuS wants me over al
! the Park Central he told the restau-
rant cashier. He asked the man tx
keep his pistol for him until he got
! back.
But he never went back, for in room
| 349 of the Park Central, a room rented
under the name of George Richards
which police say was an alias adopted
for the occasion by McManus, he was
shot and two days later died.
In room $40 police found severa
bottles and glasses and an overcoat with
NfcManus' name in the collar.
Charge Is Surprise.
So it came as surprise when the
short affidavit, sworn to by the arrestins
officer, stated that the detective wa.
Informed and verify believed" tha
NTcManus fired the shot from which
his gambler pal died.
The announced theory up to tha
time had been that McManus had sum
noned Rothstein to the Park Centra
to try to patch up differences between
Rothstein and several gamblers whC
held paper he had given at a care
game where his usual luck failed hin
and he lost $380,000. AS police recon
structed the scene for publication, Nc
Manus was the peacemaker, but SOM
one else in the room, one of the credi
tors or hired gunman of one of them
got excited and pulled a trigger.
During his arraignment he surren
dered what chance he might have haC
of eating his Thanksgiving dinner out

Hearing Ordered
On Location of
Arlington Flagpole
Row Over Placing Tall
Staff On Ridge Near
Mansion to Be Aired.

Conflicting suggestions on the site
for the erection of a tall f1agpole at
Arlington National Cemetery to replace
the old one which stood directly in
front of the Lee Mansion and which
was recently taken down because de-
terioration made it a menace, have
been received by the War Department
and today Secretary of War Davis in
structed @. M. Gen. B. Frank Cheatham
to fix a date for a public hearing on
the matter.
Replacement of the staff is being
considered by the War Department at
the instance of local posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic and other
patriotic organizations. When replace
ment on the original site of the flag
staff was disapproved by several men,
bers of the Fine Arts Commission on
eSthetic grounds, the War Department
tentatively selected new site on the
same natural ridge as the original site,
directly in front of the Temple of Fame
and the granite tomb of Alta un-
known veterans of the war between
the State, on the axis of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge and the straight road
which will connect it with the
cemetery.
Members of several organizations have
protested against any change
in the site of the flagstaff. It is in
dicated at the War Department that
the project will be dropped altogether
if a satisfactory arrangement cannot be
made following the hearing.
Advocates of the tentatively selected
new site for the staff point out that
the Stars and Stripes flying at its lofty
peak would properly complement the
Lincoln Memorial at the other end of
the road vista.
The original f1agpole was erected in
1864, at the time of the establishment
of the cemetery and the burial there
of 10000 members of the Union Army
who died in the vicinity of the Capital
during the Civil War;
