Romance With Missing Judge
Lasting Seven Years Told
BY Pretty Connie Marcus

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The
first woman in the Crater case
has talked. And the amazing
confession made yesterday by
Connie Marcus. 80, pretty brown.
haired divorcee, to Police Com:
mission Mulrooney and District
Attorney Grain, revealed the
vanished jurist in the light of &
gay Romeo who shed his mantle
Of judicial dignity when the
Broadway lights went on and
carried on a clandestine romance
with her over a period Of seven
years.
Mrs. Marcus apparently with
held nothing about her friend
ship with Crater from the day
seven years ago when she called
upon him to act as her attorney
in a divorce up to the night Of
July "a, when they completed q
round Of a theater and night
clubs with a farewell party in
her apartment at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Left for Vacation
He left then, she said, on a
vacation which he said would
last until August 26. And she
has not seen him or heard from
him since.
Mrs. Marcus indicated that sh9
held a certain amount of affecs
tlon for the judge by admitting
she was much upset when she
read in the papers about his
apparent interest and romantic
excursions with other girls. But
though she denied Crater was
paying her rent, she admitted
he frequently made her presents
Of money, the last being 500
mailed to her on August /.
She fled from New York, she
said. when she read a story
linking her name with Crater's
disappearance. -
She returned to the Maytlowef
yesterday noon and was imm&
diately taken before Mulrooney
by detectives waiting for her.
After three hours Of grilling by
Mulroohey. she was taken to
the district attorneys office,
where she told her story. -
MIS-. Crater Faithful
The statement of Connie Mar
Gus added to the gloom and de-
preston of the Crater household
in Belgrade Lakes, Me-, when
news was received there yester.
day Of her revelations.
Harry Herbert, brother.in-law
Of Mrs. Crater, expressed amaze
ment and even open doubt. He
retired into the house to inform
Mrs. Crater, who declined to be
interviewed. When he emerged
he said Mrs. Crater had told him
to inform the reporters that de,

by the appearance of Connie

exhaust is cooled and condensed. The result is
that the weight of the ship remains practically
unchanged, for as the engines use up fuel they
manufacture water to take its place as so much
ballast. For every 100 pounds of fuel used as
much as 14O pounds of water can be recovered
In actual practice the amount of water recov-
cred is only slightly more than the gasoline
consumed.

the electric power for the ships lighting and

"DETAILS Of the airplane facilities within the
Akron. the means of hoistng them up into
the ship and other arrangements are secret, but
1t has been known that for few years expert
ments with a special hooking and trapeze ap-
paratus have been made on the Los Angeles
and that this may be the form in which the
airplanes will be handled on the Akron. Going
beyond even this development it is possible
that ultimately airplanes designed especially
for airship work will be built without landing
gear or pontoonS, the hooking apparatus at the
top taking the place of both.
In the same bay with the hangar will be the
galley, mess rooms and quarters for officers
and men, officers on the starboard side and
crew on the port side, in accordance with sea-
gong tradition. Accessibility to these quarters
as to all other parts of the ship will be avail
able through two gangways extending from
bow to stern of the ship, while a third gangway
along the top center will make even the tops of
the gas cells of easy access.
AT four points, each within one of the four
midship frames along either side of the airship

the ship except for the extending shafts pro-

compartments, each engine of IL cylinders in

The Maybach is the only airShip engine in
existence, says Lieut. T. G. W. Settle inspector
OF naval aircraft, who is observing the con-
struction OF the Akron for the U. S. Navy. It
is wholly internally reversible by means of a
separate set of for that process It is
built on roller and ball bearings throughout re-

equipped with overhead valves, one intake and

engine at 1900, this power plant will consume
about As gallons of gasoline an hour-a very low
figure for such power. Its great economy Of
operation, its reversible feature, its immediate
response and maneuverabty its freedom from
f1re hazard and particularly its long life of
thousands of hours before overhaul, are the
reasons this is the only practical engine for
airships. Each engine weighs more than $500
pounds or about five pounds to the horsepower,
but weight is less essential than economy of
operation and long life in an airship, quite the
opposite of airplaneS.
One OF the most important features of the
Akron in this connection is the water-recovery

A Child Made Over Ry ALICE, uDSON PFAIF

Nan and Janice were sisters, six and eight years old. Their mother, in sending them to camp together for the summer took great pains 10 explain to the director that while Nan always could be guided with reasoning and gentleness, severer methods were necessary with Janice. They probably would have to pun ish her frequently, especially at first until she learned who had the upper hand. Her worst fault was her ten- dency to bully children, especially her little sister.
 During the first two weeks Janice 1 fulfilled her mothers predictions. She was disobedient. defiant, and mean to her playmates. Punishment checked her, but did nothing to | sweeten her attitude.
 ] The director watched her care i fully during those first weeks and then. proceeded with methods of her own. She made occasions to talk with Janice now and then, to De in | terested in what she was doing.
 She smiled at her often in a 1 friendly fashion and with very little effort established a pleasant feeling of confidence between them. Janice who had flatly refused 10 obey com mands save under threat of punish ment, learned to reaspond to friend | ly suggestion.

Nev- ertheless. Black Pussy goes hunting every day You see, the love ot hunting Is IF her, aa t is Tn most cats. She doesn't hunt because sha Is hungry. Oh, no. This isn't it at all She hunts because she loves D hunt. She likes the excitement Sometimes BIacl, Pussy hunted i'll the Old Orchard: sometimes she vent down the Long Lane to the Green Meadows; once in q while she hunted along the edge Of the Green Forest. But she didn't like the Green Forest so well.
 This morning Black Pussy decided 10 try the old stone wall again. She vas curious. Some one all in black was living there and she wanted to know about him. Once she had aI- most caught him, It was the first and only time she had seen him anu he looked very much like q Chip munk Black Pussy didn't believe he could be a Chipmunk, because she had never heard Of a blacN Chipmunk. IT didn't make any diff ference; she wanted him anyway. So that is how it happened that on this particular morning Black Pussy went to the old stone wall to hunt.
 Before going to the old stone wall, Black Pussy went down through the Old Orchard and finally came to the Green Forest. She saw no signs or Striped Chipmunk, or of Impy the black Chipmunk: but that didn't discourage her at all. You know Black Pussy is another one of those patient people. She long ago learn waiting is rewarded So she isn | disappointed if she doesn't see right away what she has started out No hunt She moved along on the side of the old wall nearest the Old Orchard, stopping to look into and smell of all the holes between the stones. Once or twice she got 3 faint scent of Chipmunk. It was just enough to excite her a little but she knew that it was old
 By and by Black Pussy sat down at a point where a big stone had fallen out of the old wall Scrap per the Kingbird was making fuss over in the Old Orchard and Black Pussy sat with her back to the wall looking into the Old Orchard to see what the fuss was about, Now, you know that. no matter how still Black Pussy herself may be, the tip of her tail is apt to keep moving, especially if she is interested or ex-
