NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Three
gunner stormed the prison ward OF
Fordham Hospital early today and
shot to death Patrolman jeremiah
Brosnan, who was guarding the
solitary patient.
Apparently it was an attempt to
free the prisoner, but it was a futile
| one.
The roar of the sawed-off shotgun
that nearly blew the patrolman'g
head from his shoulders. seemed to
steal away the gunmen's nerves.
They took flight and escaped in an
auto before the sleeping hospital was
aroused. The car bore New Jer-
sey license.
| With both. his legs broken from
fall from a rooftop last week, the
lone prisoner. James Ward. lay on
his bed during the brief deadly
drama.
Fell Eluding Police
He fell from the rooftop while
eluding police. He had escaped
from the Morrisania station house
after being arrested on charges or
holding up a mail carrier.
Patrolmane Brosnan's last move
evidently had been toward his pistol.
He was sitting on wheel stretcher
at the door of the ward when the
gunner approached.
His hand was on the butt OF his
pistol when DIR. Harola found him
dead. Obviously, he had started UP
from the stretcher and had been
felled on the instant.
He was so, married, and had
been on the force "a years and
would have been eligible for retire
ment next year.
Asked Treatment
Robert Boynton, night switchboard
operator at the hospital, said that
shortly before the. shooting three
men entered and passed down out
side the accident and prisons wards
in the basement. Outside the acci-
dent ward the men met Frank Nor
ris, an orderly, and showed his hand,
requesting treatment for 1t. The
hand was covered with iodine.
Norris telePhoned for a nurse.
While he was attending to other
matters and the nurse was coming
downstairs, the killing took place
The ~intruders ran out by the
route they entered
It appeared that only a single
charge of buckshot was fired.
Ward the prisoner. could not
identity any of the trio he SAID.
though he had. a partial view OF the
traxaS~.

HE made no speech from the box
He was not intoxicated. He showed
no evidence of even having had a
single drink, nor do believe that
he had.
1.-THE statement which Mr..
keenan, quotes as to the Governors
condition is so manifestly unfair
and untrue that would not feel
that / was acting the part OF a
man If / did not write you this
letter stating the facts as know
them"
Denied By Woman
Immediately upon receipt OF Fear
sons letter, Governor Smith asked
Kelley to call on Mrs. Sanford,
which he did, later reporting to
Governor Smith the results of his
visit.
"After introducing myself to Mrs.
Sanford, " Kelley reported, Il in
formed her / had a letter from
Parkersburg. w. Va. She. in turn,
without letting me so farther said,
Yes, it is from Mrs. Bauer"
Kelley said he asked. Mrs. San
ford point-blank whether she had
made the statement attributed to
| ner.
Her reply was" said Kelley,
that she had written Mrs. Bauer
saying that, OF course, she and her
family disagreed with the Cover
| nor's attitude on the Eighteenth
Amendment or his ability to change
prohibition.
Il said that is not the question
did you or did you not write the
article mentioned in the letter?
She, in turn, said, i did not; l was
not al the fair on Thursday; / did
not see Governor Smith; neither
did ! write anything of that sort
to Mrs. Bauer 1 asked her if she
would write a letter to the Cover
nor to that effect. She at first said
she didn't see why she should, but
she owuld write Mrs. Bauer; |
replied that that would not be SUI.
ficient'
Finally Kelley said Mrs. Sanford
promised she would write the letter
to Governor Smith. Although a
week has elapsed, Governor smith
said today he had not received it.
Later Kelley advised Governor
smith again that Mrs. Sanford "posI.
lively denied writing any such
letter."
Claims Letter Is Lost
Then Governor Smith telephoned
to keenan, at Parkersburg, asked him
TO see Mrs. Bauer and If possible
OBTAIN the letter in question. keenan,
saw Mrs. Bauer, he reported, but
he didn't get the letter He teie-
graphed the Governor on Sunday as
follows:
Impossible to get Sanford letter.
PaftV here says same is lost or de-
stroyed. Believe she must have got
instructions from Syracuse to de-
stroy or not disclose. However. she
does not deny statement in letter,
but has quit talking"
Ihefe the matter rested today,
save for Governor Smiths com.
ments.
1T will he noted" he said, chat
Mrs. Sanford promised Mr.. Kelley
that she would write to me and
make denial Of the letter attributed
to her by Mrs. Bauer; up to now
she has not done so.
IF Mrs. Bauer made the state

Keenan, and Mrs. Sanford made tie
statements attributed to her by MIR.

aware of the stories that have been
going around.
He has fairly itched to strike some
telling blow at all this talk. but the
fact that 1t was always anonymous
and that none of the tales ever
reached the printed stage made 1t q
difficult matter to get at. But ne

ing, some opportunity to blow these
things out of the water" as he him
self expressed it.
Seizes First Opportunity
Finally, one woman wrote. a letter
to another, and the opportunity was
at hand. The Governor seized it with
characteristic vigor.
Under the caption Mailing a Lie
in the Whispering Campaign" and
signed by alfred f. Smith," the
Governor made the whole matter pub
lie today at the executive office.
Boiled down to it's essentials, the
Governors statement set forth the
following story:
On September S, w. A. keenan,
member of firm of income tax
specialists at Parkersburg, w. Va,
Headquarters, Syracuse, II. "" IN
which he called, attention to the
whispering Campaign being wageO
against Governor Smith.
"A lady of this city. formerly q
resident of Syracuse, and very
prominent socially here" keenan's
letter said, has letter from Mrs.
Florence Sanford, whom she ad
vises is the wife of Fl. d. Sanford
OF Syracuse, and who is reported to
be prominent there. q.
Drunkenness Charged
ain this letter the lady sets out
the statement that on the occasion
of Governor Smiths visit TO the
State fair at Syracuse, he occupied
a box next to the one occupied by
Mrs. Sanford, and the story is that
Governor Smith was disgustingly IN
toxicated. so much so that when be
attempted to arise to make an adj
dress he had TO be helped to his
feet by two persons, one on each
Side"
keenan, went on to say that 1.-THE
contents OF this letter were dis
cussed at a social gathering" lie
asked the Democratic organiza ton
OF Syracuse to furnish him with a
statement from some one, prefer
ably a member of some other politi'
cal party than that of Governor
Smith, to brand this as a political
lie Of the dirtiest sort" Otherwise,
he said, Governor Smith will lose
many votes he, would otherwise re-
cejve. West Virginia is a battle
-
helps"
Keenan's letter fell into the
hands of William r. Kelley, SYRIA
cuse banker, and Democratic leader
of the city. He promptly called
Governor Smith.
Governor Smith asked Kelley to
get the denial statement from some
prominent Republican as requested
by keenan, and to forward the let
te rto Albany.

Senator George F. Fearon. Re-
publican chairman Of the Senate

Governor Smith, but I believe in
a square deal even for political op,

Senator Fearon said he had heen

CLUB GUEST DAY

CLUB GUEST DAY
One Of the most attractive parties
of the season was held Thursday
afternoon when the Twentieth Cen
tury CLUB held its third annual guest
day at The country home Of Mrs. j. II.
Mitchell, with Mrs. T. Y. Flynt, Mrs.
John Stoddard, and Miss Anna Louise
Hannah as hostesses.
The living rooms were profusely
decorated with larkspur, candy tuft,
and ferns. As the guests arrived
they were ushered into the dining
room where Miss Florence Mitchell
served them punch.
The meeting was called to order
and in response to rol. call each club
member introduced her guest.
In her usual charming manner, the
president, Mrs. j. III. Mitchell, intro
duced the officers for the ensuing
year. Delegates to thc Valley Fed
Grafton at Harlingen were appointed
and the meeting was turned over to
Mrs. p. G.. Greenwood Of Harlingen,
who had arranged 4 Schubert mu-
steal program.
BY special request Mrs. Greenwood

who gave in drama.i: reading, two
acts from ShakespearC's "The Mer-
chant Of Venice" and responded to
an encore with a selection from

Mrs. Roy Stevenson sang "Oh

cluded the program, following which
the h~ostesses served delicious re-
freshments of yellow and white ice
cream, angel food cake and minis
with plate favors Of ferns and yellow

Baby specialists agree nowadays,
that during the first six months,
babies must have three ounces of
fluid per pound Of body weight daily.
An eight pound baby, for instance,
needs twenty-four ounces OF fluid.
Later on the rule is two ounces OF
fluid per pound Of body weight. The
amount Of fluid absorbed by a breast
fed baby IL best determined by weigh
ing him before and after feeding for
the whole day; and IL Is easily calcu-
lated for the bottle fed one. Then make
up any deficiency with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often
relieves his feverish, crying. upset
and restless spells. II IL doesn't, give
him a few drops Of Fletcher's Cas-
toria. For these and other ills of ba-
bies and children such rs collie. chol-
era, diarrhea, gas on stomach and
bowels, constipation, sour stomach,
loss of sleep, u~nderweight, etc, lead
ing physicians say there's nothing so
effective. IL is purely vegetable-the
recipe is on the wrapper-and millions
of mothers have depended on it in
over thirty years of ever increasing
use. IL regulates baby's bowels, makes
him sleep and eat right. enables him
to get full nourishment from his food,
so he increases in weight as he should.
With each package you get a book on
Motherhood worth its weight in gold.
Just a word Of caution. Look for
the signature Of Chas. Fl. Fletcher
on the package so you'll be SUR to
get the genuine. The forty cent bot
ties contain t~hirty,fve doses.
