MAN QUIZZED
in DEATH

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-PETim-
othy Quinn, 40, a stevedore, was
subjected TO prolonged questioning
today in connection with the kill
ing of Benjamin p. Ceilings. who
vas bound and thrown from ~
yacht in Lond Island sound two
weeks ago.
District Attorney Alexander G..
Blue Of Suffolk county said Quinn
was not under arrest and would
not be detained, although the ques-
tioning was continued after the
district attorney made the state
ment.
Quinn was found at the home Of
his brother, a Queens physician, by
Long Island city police who said
he had been arrested three times
on suspicion of murder and had
escaped from several insane asy-
lums, the last being the Central
Islip State hospital. to which he
was committed in 1929.
The police said Quinn was
thoroughly familia with the north
shore of Long Island and had been
seen in the vicinity several times
during the last three weeks. They
said he was an expert boatman
and until recently owned a canoe
He was described as a man OF great
physical strength. The police took
him to Hunters Point police sta
ton and Blue questioned him there.
Importance was attached to the
ownership OF a canoe because Mrs.
Ceilings told authorities the men
who boarded the Ceilings power
boat Penguin. bound her husband
and threw him into the sound and
took her off the boat in a canoe.
Blue has been proceeding on the
theory that one of the assailants.
described by Mrs. Collings as a
middle-aged man, was a lunatic.
Suffolk county authorities were
undecided whether thev would call
Mrs. Ceilings to testify at the in
quest which win be resumed to-
morrow She has signified her
willingness to appear If called.
Felix Di Martini. a private detec-
tive engaged by Blue, took Mrs.
Ceilings yesterday over the course
Of the Penguin m he day and
night Of the attack, and had her
repeat her story.

ity holding the courts opinion could not
be interpreted as holding the Radio
