DEATH TAXES MAN
 0N DRINKING BOUT
Lies Down on Pennington
 Avenue Veranda and Dies

Three months ago Stanley Smolen ski, 42. and his wife, decided to paT. His wife took a job in the New Brit ain Machine company so that their four children would be able to live. Stanley took to drink.
 Saturday night Stanley lay down on the rear ycranda at II Farming ton avenue and went to sleep. In q few minutes he was dead, His death, Medical Examiner John Purney in timated, was caused by alcoholic poisoning.
 The first intimation of the tragedy came at S:35 o'clock when Licuten- ant Rival at the police station re ceivcd q call stating that someone was either dead or drunk on the veranda.
 Rushing to the scene, Detective Sergeant George c. Ellinger found Stanley, dead. Mrs. Sophie Zeme- duk, a tenant. told the detective that Stanley had been around the house since l o'clock in the afternoon and that he was drunk. This story was corroborated by Walter GlatkoWski, a boy who lives at that address.
 Identified by his wife after Dr. Purney had examined the body, it was disclosed that Stanley, who lived at 219 Beaver street, left his wife al most penniless about three months ago. So that the four children might be able to live, the wife took a job in the factory. For the past several weeks her husband had been drink ing heavily, the woman told Ser geant Ellinger.
 Officers Gustave Hellberg, Michael Brophy and Louis E. Harper were also sent to the place of the death by Lieutenant Rival. After an ex- animation the body was turned over to the Duffy Undertaking company by the medical examiner.

Chicago, Oct. II E) - The price John Preston was paying today for a Saturday night party with two young women companions was jail, and a murder charge against him. One of the young women, Miss Agnes, John ston. 26, was dead. She had been attacked, then strangled.
 Preston, who is married, denied knowledge of how Miss Johnston was killed. Two men held them up, he said, and drove away with her.
 Found Near Auto
 Miss Johnston's body was found in clump of bushes not far from the spot where Preston's rented au- tomobile had been abandoned. It was on a little used roadway near West Chicago. The young woman

 Face Indicate Struggle
 Preston was arrested several hours later, long before the body of Miss Johnston was found. That was be- cause his appearance-face puffcd, bruised and cratched-aroused sus- picions. Police were questioning him when Miss Murphy reported the Johnston girl missing. A search finally led to the abandoned automo- bile and then to the girls body.

 Miss Mathilda Murphy, cousin of Miss Johnston, and her companion on the Saturday night party, told ot events preceding the staying.
 They had gone with Preston, she said, only after insistence by him, and they became alarmed at his be- havior after he had several drinks at a roadhouse.
 Upon their demanding that he take them home, all three got into the car. Preston, Miss Murphy said continued his objectionable manner and both women leaped from the machine and ran. Miss Murphy es-

THIS HAS HAPPENED

Handsome Harry" Borden. pro-
 moter of dubious stock companies. ia murdered sometime between one and four o'clock on Saturday after noon. His body is found sprawled beneath the airshaft window of his private office Monday morning by his secretary, Ruth Lester. Ruth is engaged to Jack Hayward, whose office is just across the narrow air. shaft from Borden's.
 Ruth knows Jack hates Borden for his attempted familiarity with her on Saturday morning. Petri- fled with fear. she recalls Jacks
 strange behavior of Saturday aft ernoon.
 Fearing Jack shot Borden across the airshaft. Ruth goes to close the window above the body. It is already closed!
 McMann, police detective, learns from the elevator boys that early Saturday afternoon passengers to seventh floor were Benny Smith. Borden's office boy: Mrs. Borden, his wife and mother of his two
 children. who called for her month ly alimony check: Rita Dubois, night club dancer. and Jack Hay ward.
 McMann first accuses Mrs. Bor- den. When he finds footprints of . pigeon in dried blood he says the
 'job" was done from the inside and turns suspiciously to Ruth.
 Jack admits the office across the airshaft is his and explains his re- turn Saturday afternoon by saying
 he left theater tickets on his desk. Bill Cowan. real estate man and friend of Jacks, under questioning tells of hearing Jack mutter threats against Borden Saturday morning
 when he saw the promoter in the opposite office attempt familiarity
 with Ruth. He also tells of telc- phoning Jack Saturday afternoon and being plugged in on a busy line and of hearing Borden quarreling
 violently. Jack denies the conversa- tion with Borden but McMann pointblank accuses him of Borden's murder. They are interrupted by the
 entrance of Phillips, the waiter,
 who served Ruth and Jack at lunch
 con Saturday.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIX "Just a minute, Birdwell," Mo-
 Mann answered, then turned to the
 real estate man, Bill Cowan who was obviously eager to escape. 'Cowan I'm inclined to let you go on about your business and not hold you as a material witness, if
 you give me your promise not to talk with anyone - reporters. your
 wife, anyone else - about this ease, and will promise further not to leave town, but hold yourself
 available for further questioning Cowan gave both promises with
 almost ludicrous alacrity and bolt
 ed. after another apologetic grip of Jack. Hayward's hand. The waiter,
 Phillips. was ushered in = a small
 neat, middle-aged man in a we'll
 brushed black overcoat, snugly but
 toned over his walters uniform.
 After preliminary questions as
 to his name. place of residence and
 occupation, McNIann asked: "Ever
 see this couple before, Phillips?"
 Meek brown eyes studied Ruth
