CADETS.
ORDERED GUARDED
War Department Officials
Request Action Due to
Bonus Army.

An oral War Department request that
the 30o0-odd Regular Army rifles issued
to the Washington High School Cadet
Corps be adequately safeguarded in view
of the presence in the Capital Of the
thousands of bonus-seeking veterans
was met with the assertion by school
officials that orders already had been
issued to render the rifles useless for
firing by the immediate removal Of the
bolts"
The department was advised, it was
learned late this afternoon, that this
precaution was ordered following an
accident in which the older brother O.
Mckinley High School student was in
jured when the latter's rife exploded
as the older man attempted to fire
cartridge from it.
The school authorities added, how
ever, that the watch at each Of the
high school buildings would be doubled.
Explaining the action of the school
authorities, Stephen E. Kramer, first
assistant superintendent In charge Of
cadet affairs, said there was no i'm
mediate connection between the pres
ence OF the veterans and the removal
OF the bolts from the cadet rifles. He
said the action, despite the War De-
partment request, was "a coincidence"
Jere J. Crane, school business man
ager to whom the War Department
made its request, however, said he sta
toned two watchmen at each high
school instead of one, as a result of the
departments apprehension.
The rifles, meanwhile. are being
packed away in their assigned schools,
while the bolt assemblies, embracing the
firing pins and cartridge ejector. will
be sent to the Franklin School Admin
stration Building.

Thursday by Violet Sharpe, Morrcw
waitress. who committed suicide yester-
day, as released by authorities:
II was born in England. About two
and a half years ago went from Eng
land to Canada. I stayed in Canada
about nine months. I then left Canada
and went to New York. registered in
Hutchinsons Employment Office, off
Madison avenue, and about 10 days later
Mrs. Cecil Graeme, who was employed
by Mrs. Morrow, interviewed me in
Hutchinson's Office. On the next day
Mrs Graeme brought me to the Nor
row home where have been employed
since.
"On Sunday afternoon. February %.
1882, I was walking along Lydecker
street. when I met man who vas rid

for my address, name and telephone
number and stated that he would take
me to the movies some night If I would
like to go. About 8 pm. Tuesday:
asked me if l would meet him in the

my work
About $50 pm. I noticed a man
outside the pantry door, and I came
out and went into his car with him
and another couple, man and a
woman whom did not know, as had
never seen them before.
The four of us went to the Engle-
wood Theater, and after the theater
the man drove to the Morrow home.
1t was then, I think, 1885 pm. The
man stopped the car between the ga
rage and the house. I got out of the
car and the man walked toward the
house with me. He Immediately re-
turned to, the car and 1 entered the
house.

the men and the women appeared to
be Americans.
II did not see any other car parked
in the driveway, but another car could
have been parked in front of the ga
rage. but 1 did not see any. Between
10 and Is minutes after I entered the
house, Mrs. Marguerite Junge came in
and in a kidding way asked her why
she had been so late. 1t was then about
11:15 pm.
The next morning one Of the serv-
ants spoke to me about the noise the

ming Of March he called up and asked
If would care to go out with him that
evening. I agreed. and he asked me
where he could meet me. I told him
the same place that he had met me
last Sunday, but that I would not be
ready for a while as had not yet fin-
ished with the dinner.
Instead of waiting for me at Ly-
decker street, he drove to the back door
OF the pantry of the Morrow home.
Seeing the car and realizing who he
was, I got my hat and coat and pre-
pared to meet him. Approaching his
car I noticed that there were two other
occupants besides him, a man and a
woman, to whom he introduced me, but
at this time cannot remember either

ployer, Mrs. Dwight Morrow. reiterated
her faith in the servant.
However, police reiterated that Miss
Sharpe had identified a photograph of
Brinkert as her companion on the night
ride.
Has Brinkert given any information
tending to link him with the kidnap-
ing?" Inspector Walsh was asked.
No. not up to this time," he replied,
but he will remain here for the time
being. This thing is pretty much of a
puzzle. Our inquiry isn't over.
"Brinkert denies that he has ever
been in New Jersey. And he denied
fatty that he knew Miss Sharpe or her
sister. He said he had never seen them
nor even heard Of them up to yester-
day"
Walsh said fourth member of the
automobile party Of March !, an Elmer
johnson of Closter. would be ques-
toned.
Subsequently Col. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf. State police superintend-
ent, said:
Statement Tomorrow,
"Brinkert is still at Alpine. and he
has agreed to give us complete writ
ten statement tomorrow.
"Miller's statement and previous his
tory will be checked by the investi-
gators"
In another reversal police found sub
sanitation tonight for Brinkerts alibi
that he had spent March at the home
OF Frank Page, colored man, living
in Bridgeport. Conn.
Detective James Fitzpatrick and
other police questioned Page at length.
The colored man, recalling a Lindbergh
radio broadcast in progress when Brink
ert reached his home, fixed the time
of the formers arrival as the night of
March 2.
Tonight, however. Page said the
broadcast was the first announcement
OF the kidnapping and he felt certain it

was after 10 pm. on the night OF March

Inspector Walsh admitted that the
details of the motor ride the night Of
March / as given by Miller checked
with the account OF Miss Sharpe.
He also admitted that Miss MINERS
story checked with Miller's. The party
went to grill at Orangeburgh. near
Tappan, N. Y, and returned to Engle-
wood before midnight.
IT cannot understand" said Walsh.
why this woman, If she had nothing
to do with the kidnaping. preferred
death to revealing Miller's name"
Miller Is Puzzled, too.
Miller told police he too was puz-
zled and that there was nothing about
the ride which should have been con-
cealed.
Walsh persisted in re-emphasizing
the fact that the sister Of the dead girl
applied for a passport wise at Wash
ington on March l to return to Eng
land and that she sailed four days after
the supposed kidnapers got s50.000
ransom from DR.. John F. Condor on
April 2.
