OIL MAN TELLS
DEATH STORY
Guests AT Fashionable Party
Subpoenaed AS Witnesses
In Homicide Charge

NEW YORK, April 16.@(P)-
Guests at a party on fashionable
Park avenue were under subpoena
as witnesses in a homicide hearing
today growing out Of the death Of
one of their number.
Samuel z. Bell, who described
himself as an oil producer, stood
charged with homicide In connec-
ton with the death of Arthur Nor
gan Smith, wealthy Cleveland man
ufacturer.
Police said Smiths death was the
result of a fracture of the skull Suf-
fered when he fell In a scuffle with
Bell as the two contended over
which was to escort Mrs. Robert
w. Brown, Kentucky society ma
iron, to her hotel. The scuffle took
place on Park avenue at the en-
trance Of the Hotel Marguery where
all had been guests of Mrs. Robert
w. Schuette.
Bell, in his cell in the Tombs gave
his version of the party and the
alteration with Smith. Wringing
his hands and sobbing as he talked,
Bell denied striking Smith or having
any wish to hurt him. He said he
only pushed the other when he at
tempted to force his way into a
taxicab beside Mrs. Brown. He said
every one at the party, except the
hostess, drank freely.

TEXAS POLICE
TAKE SILVER
Houston Officers Follow
Woman Who Proves Con-
victed Mans Undoing

HOUSTON, Tex, April 16.-(R
"A woman was the undoing OF Bob
Silver, young bandit who, with four
other convicts, sawed out of the
~tubercular ward Of the Wynne
state prison farm.
Silver, whose death sentence for
participation in the holdup-killing
Of Roscoe Wilson, Fort Worth
moving picture house manager,
was commutd less than an hour
before he was to begin a march to
the electric chair, was recaptured
here last night by officers who fol-
lowed a woman.
He suavely told his captors they
had overlooked a pistol in search
ing him and declared his mothers
appeal, broadcast from a Fort
Worth radio station, that he give
himself up had set him to think
ing and that he had about decided
to grant her entreaty.
His companions in the break,
three of whom, like him, were
charged with robbery by firearms
for holding up a young college
couple near the prison farm and
communicating their automobile
to complete their getaway Friday
night, already had been caught.
Trailing Miss Parlee King, Is,
after a chance tip from an I'M
named man who led to the hypo-
thesis that she was going to the
youth, the police arrested Silver
when he and Carl Lawder, an
Oklahoma ex-convict, entered Miss
Kings automobile on a street 20
blocks from the business district.
The woman and Lawder were
charged with aiding an escaped
prisoner.
Silver's dramatic attempt to
evade his sentence caused an ex-
change Of sarcastic kilograms be-
tween Governor Dan Moody, who
saved the former Kansas City resi-
dent from electrocution, and Off
Gals Of Walker county, center Of
