PIRACY VICTIM
STICKS TO TALE
OF SEA ATTACK
LunaticS May Have Been
Perpetrators, Is Belief;
Blanket Traced.
BY SIDNEY b. WHIPPLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

SYOSSETT, L. l., Sept. IA
Failure to break down single i'm
portant phase Of the fantastic
piracy and murder tale told by Mrs.
Benjamin Ceilings forced authori-
ties today to look for an equally
fantastic solution to the disappear
ance Of her husband-that it may
have been the work of lunatics.
Other theories have been tried
and discarded. A search for mo-
tives has been fruitless. Ceilings,
so far as has been learned through
careful investigation, had no per-
Sonal enemies who might seek re-
venge. He was engaged in no feud
with another man. He had no do
mestic difficulties so far as can be
determined.
And the authorities. technically
speaking, have no proof he is not
alive. They have no body-hence
no murder. All they have is the
story of his wife-or widow-that
two men, one elderly and one young,
boarded the Ceilings motor boat
Penguin, trussed her husband up
and threw him overheard.
Blanket Is Traced
AS further proof" of the story,
they have the word of 5-year-old
Barbara Ceilings, sleepy girl
while the drama was being enacted
on board the Penguin in the dark
ness of Friday morning. And Bar
bara, the officers say, will say any,
thing her questioners want her to.
Beyond that, the investigators
have one more seemingly important
clew. A blanket which pirates"
threw to Mrs. Ceilings, with strange
solicitude after they had disposed
of her husband and kidnapped her
in canoe, was traced to the
Charles hotel, at Springfield, Mass.
Search of the hotel registered
there revealed the registry of an ''F.
f. Collingbourne and wife" for one
day last August. The similarity of
Ceilings" and "Collingbourne" was
so striking that a photostatic copy
of the entry was sent to District
Attorney Edwards Of Nassau county.
Never There, She Says
Again the investigators appeared
to have arrived in a blind alley.
The Collingbourne writing was
wholly dissimilar from the hand
writing found in Ceilings papers.
1t was announced, however, that
experts will be called in to find out
whether the man who registered
with his wife in Springfield was dis
guising his signature.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Ceilings reite-
rated that neither she nor her hus-
band ever had been at the Charles
hotel.
The escaped lunatic theory was
evolved only because the actions of
the pirates" could be explained by
little other reason.

bert had conquered his talking

has shaken off his reputation of be-
ing the great lover. In ''The Phan-

characterization and real human
role.
Gilbert carries off all the honors.

Eddie ups and marries her when
big brother kicked her out. Both
of these kids loved each other in
their own honest way. Eddie had
the conviction that children just
rot away in dirty tenaments. When
Dorothy found out that she was

tell her strong headed husband.

You will be most interested, 1
think, in the work of Joel McCrea

the story becomes really fine. The
wife fears that her husband will
hate the child. The husband fears
that his wife will not love the child.
And the two keep on telling little
white lies to each other until their
happiness is nearly wrecked.
Eddie without letting his wife
know it, does some prize fighting in
preliminary bouts at club for SO
for every round he stays in. This
money was to go to a great doctor.
And so these two human beings
fight and misunderstood when both
were approaching the great hour
of their life. And Dorothy goes to
the hospital in a taxicab, accom-
panied only by Edna briggs, played
so wonderfully human by Minna
Gombell, as Eddie is getting a ter
rible beating.
