new MURDER
Jars TOWN OF
RUTH snyder
Wife Kills Husband With
Knife After Scandal Over
Gay Parties.
ACCIDENT, SHE SAYS
Occupies Same Cell Where
Picture Wire Slayer
Was Confined.

BV United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 8-In the
same cell in the Long Island city
Jail where Ruth Snyder once was
held, Mrs. Frances Kirkwood wait
ed today for trial on a charge of
stabbing her husband, Glenn, 26, to
death.
1t was the second murder that has
startled the calm of quiet and
home-hke Queens Village, for it was
in that section where Ruth Snyder
and Henry Judd Gray killed Albert
Snyder, crime for which they paid
with their lives.
Neighborhood gossip, suspicion
and jealousy were said by police to
be the causes of this latest Queens
Village affair,
Gossip of Gay Parties
Mrs. Kirkwood said she returned
from a vacation and heard reports
from neighbors that her husband
a young veterinarian she married
two years ago-had been on a num-
Der of gay studio parties while she,
was away, She said she was infuri-
ated.
She said they argued Tuesday
morning and finally she decided to
end her own life. Her husband
struggled for possession of the bread
knife she held and he was stabbed,
dying within few hours.
Slowly, and between puffs of
many cigarets, the comely Queens
Village matron told her story to an
thorities in the same district at
torney's office where Ruth Snyder
had confessed to the murder of AL
bert Snyder.
But Mrs. Kirkwood denied any
intent to kill her husband, claiming
it was an accident, and that the
knife had been intended for her
own life.
Drunk, Says Witness
To contrast with the story told
by Mrs. Kirkwood, William Reuman,
radio announcer, at whose studio
neighborhood gossip had Kirkwood
a frequent guest, said that Mrs.
Kirkwood had made a wild taxicab
ride just previous to the stabbing
and had appeared intoxicated.
Mrs. Kirkwood, according to the
story, BACKED the eye of Mrs. Con-
rad Hubert, who was at the studio
with her husband and Kirkwood
Monday night when Mrs. Kirkwood
entered.
The quarrel between Kirkwood
and his wife is said to have started
and lasted we'll through the night,
eliminating in the stabbing early
Tuesday.
Magistrate Peter DAILY asked the
32-year-old matRcn whether she
had anything to say to the charges.
ut really doesn't matter now"
was her calm reply.

years and brought the two comedi-
ans great fame.
But Stone remembered it chiefly
because it was while playing in this
show that he met Allene Crater,
the actress who became Mrs. Fred
Stone.
THE Wizard of OF" was followed
by other hits, notably THE Red
Mill" Then, their fame secure,
Montgomery and Stone were given
parts in the show that was to out
shadow all the rest-"Chin Chin"
All of his life Stone has been
a family man." In the days when
he and Montgomery were teamed
together, Stone always spent all of
his spare time with Mrs. Stone and
the children, while Montgomery
preferred the cafes and bright
lights.

Hoover Is EIated
Bu United Press

BIZ UntteC Press
PALO ALTO, Cal, Aug. 9.-The
Herbert Hoover camp was elated to-
dav at returns from the Democratic
primary in Missouri, where the dry
candidate for the senatorial nom
nation, Charles M. Hay, appeared
to have a determined lead over
James A. Collet.
Hoover recently was informed by
Secretary of War Dwight Davis
that the nomination of Hay would
split the Democratic party in Mis-
souri, and enable Republicans to
carry the State in November.
Senator James A. Reed, Demo-
cratic leader in the State and a
"wetg' now said to be allied with the
forces of Governor Alfred E. Smith,
vigorously opposed Hays nomina-
ton, Davis said. The diversion of
wet and, dry Democratic sentiment
in the State necessarily would mean
a split on the national ticket in No
vember, Davis contended.

Restless Feet of Famous
Dancer May Be StiIIed
by Plane Disaster.
BnNEA Scrrice

BIZ NEA Scruice
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The rest
IN less feet of Fred Stone, that
have patted out a -staccato rat-a-tat
on American stages from New York
to San Francisco for more than a
quarter of a century, may never
again move to music. The one re-
naming partner of the great old
team of Montgomery and Stone
probably is lost to the stage for good.
For Fred Stone, who left home in
Kansas at the age Of Is to join a
circus, and who rose to become one
of the theater's greatest stars. is
paying the penalty for his boundlesS
energy.
At SO he went in for aviation. TAX
ing a trial fight last week he
crashed and broke both legs. He'll
recover, but it is doubtful if he ever
can dance again.
A couple of years ago, speaking
to a crowd of fellow actors and ac-
treSses, Fred Stone announced that
he had a legacy for the American
stage which he would leave when
he passed on.
He had given his daughter, Doro-
thy, to the stage. and he had two
more daughters who would go on
the stage when they were old
enough: that, said Fred Stone, would
be his legacy.
But while the present generation
lives it has another legacy; leg
acy of memories in which comic
figures, dressed in outlandish cos
tunes, go dancing and grimacing
over shadowy stages Of theaters long
since closed.

Memories Galore Left

There is the scarecrow from
1.-THE Wizard of o." Topping be-
hind the footlights in the comic, in
sane fashion that delighted hun
dreds of thousands of children.
There is the Chinese clown from
Chin Chin, the show that would
be running yet if Dave Montgom-
cry hadn't died ten years ago in
Chincago; there is the incredibly
youthful dancer from Stepping
Stones, in which Fred Stone in
troduced his daughter Dorothy to
the public and proved that his
promise of a legacy was no mere
talk; there is-but why go on?
Until this generation of theater-
goers dies, Fred Stone can't re-
tire, broken legs or no. The flop
by old Scarecrow, gone now to join
the Tin Woodman, still is going
strong.
No present-day actor has quite
the hold on the public that Fred
Stone has had. Perhaps that has
been because he has been such a
superlative dancer, such an excel
lent clown.
And perhaps it has been because
of his attitude toward the theater
and his part in it.
During recent years, when other
producers of music shows were try
ing to see how few clothes they
could dress their chorus in and how
many shady jokes they could pack
into their script, Fred Stone has al
ways insisted that he would never
appear in a show that II can't take
my own kids to see"

FUGITIVE GILMAN
FACES MORE GRIEF

Nye wrote to Governor Smith,
outlining Blackemr's connection with
the Continental Trading Company,
and suggested the possibility that it
involved defrauding stockholders of
a company of which Blackmer was
an officer-an offense against the
laws of New York. which is also
covered by the extraditlon treaty of
1909 between the United States and
France.
At the time the view was ex-
pressed that it would be difficult to
secure extradition of Blackmer for
offenses in his income tax dealings
with the United States Government,
which are not covered specifically by
the extradition convention.
