$4,000 CACHE
IS MURDER CLUE
Police Seek More Ridley Cash
in Virginia, Secretary's
Former Home.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.-A cache OF
100000 in cash popped into the Ed
ward Ridley murder enigma today as so
detectives sought to learn who slew the
rich eccentric and his secretary in their
dim sanctum 40 feet below the East
Sides pavementS.
The caSh-hitherto unreckoned in
computing the mortgage kings wealth
was discovered yesterday in vaults and
accounts at Broadway bank.
Code entries in three diaries-wherein
Ridley and his secretary. Lee Vein
stein, recorded long list Of secret
debtors-were conned by police.
Documents Carted Away.
They sought to learn if it was one of
the debtors who stole down to the sub
cellar Office, shot Weinstein and bat
tered Ridley to death with an antique
stool amid his bales of musty records,
mortgages and securities. They chung
to the belief that the same killer may
have been guilty of the murder months
ago of Herman Moench, Weinstein's s
predecessor as secretary. He also was
slain in the Office.
A ton and half of documents were
carted from the Office for study. Po-
lice said they would seek for more
Ridley wealth in many banks. They
asked police at Norfolk and Richmond.
Va, to search there to determine if
Ridley had deposited money in those
cities through Weinstein, his secretary.
Weinstein formerly lived in Virginia.
Think Weinstein Died First.
Police announced a theory that Vein
stein died before Ridley This question
has an important bearing on the dis
position of Ridley's fortune, for the
bewhiskered, 88-year-old millionaire left
a will bequeathing 100000 to Wein-
stein, provided he outlived Ridley.
Weinstein's newly discovered wife,
about whose existence his relatives were
ignorant, is expected to decide soon
whether she will start legal fight
to claim the money.
Police expressed the opinion that
liquor cutting plant found underground
near the Ridley office played no part
in the mystery. They said they be-
lieved Ridley was ignorant of its ex-
iStence.
Ridley, a scion of pioneer New
York department store owner, lived like
q comparatively poor man despite his
millions. Every day he commuted from
his New Jersey lodging place to the
bank Office where his business affairs
centered.

The pint-a-week limit on medicinal
liquor Is of.
Beginning today, physicians may pre-
scribe as much as they think their pa
tients need and they don't have to tell
the Government what the ailments are
that require a whisky treatment.
As result Federal officials look for
a sharp rise in medicinal liquor con-
sumption. There is plenty on hand.
Industrial Alcohol Bureau figures show
5,000,000 gallons of prohibition
whisky in bonded warehouses and about
10000 gallons Of green stock aging
in distilleries. Consumption last year
was about 100000 gallons.
The American Medical Association
advocated lifting the regulations on
liquor prescriptions. Congress complied
this Spring, this being the second Of
the prohibition laws since March 4.
Legalization of 80 beer and wine was
the first.
Under the regulations becoming ef-
fective today virtually all the restric-
tions on physicians are lifted. Only

OF repairs of all kinds--from those rickety

something to think about--one-third of the

PRISONER PRIZES

Sponsored by the American War
Mothers, contests among the prisons of the
country have been conducted for some time,
with the laudabie purpose OF leading pris-
onerS to a more social outlook upon life.
Among the activities for which prizes
are given are athletics. the growing of pris-
on flower gardens, the building up of prison
libraries, the best prison magazine, excel
lence of prison band musicians. training of
practical nurses among inmates. and sug-
gesting plans for placing prisoners in suit
able employment after their release.
Prizes are given for each of these ac-
tivities, while the Bennett cup, donated by
Mrs. Mary Bennett Little of Wadesboro.
N. c.. in memory Of her father, is award
ed to the prison making the highest score in
all seven contests.
While some believe that .'.ere is at
present tendency to coddie prisoners too
much. there is no aoubt that such competi-
tions as those promoted by the War Mo-
theirs are of value in restoring to many con-
victs sense of pride and a renewal Of self
