The Ceilings
Murder Case
CONTINUED from Page -


"Unless Mrs Ceilings can give us
some definite and fresh inrorma-
ton we will not return to Bridge
port at this time," Hill said. "Oul
questioning of Dreger has not re-
vealed anything on which we
could hold him in connection with
the murder. Mrs Ceilings identifi-
cation of him was very casual and
was not sufficient to warrant ac-
tion."
Dreger and a companion, Joseph
Guarino, 20, were originally ar
rested as silverware thieves. 1t
was then Dreger's resemblance to
the description Mrs Ceilings gave
of one of the murderers was noted
and she was asked to view him.
She said he closely resembled the
elder of the two pirates who board
ed the Ceilings cruiser, killed her
husband and abducted her.
Dreger, who has confessed to 30
burglaries in Fairfield county, was
released from Sing Sing prison in
1929, he said. He lived in Buffalo
for time and went to New York
in August 1881. The murder oc-
Cured September 10, 1881.
Guarino, already eliminated from
consideration as the second man in
the murder, established the fact
that he was in the marine hospital
on Staten Island when it occurred.
Dreger told William Kearns,
county detective, that besides the
80 places he remembered robbing
there were "a lot more" which he
could not identify. He was to be
taken for a tour of the county this
afternoon, visiting homes that have
been robbed in the last few months
in an effort to refresh his memory
and clear up the robberies. He
and Guarino, he said, lived in New
York and only came into Connecti-
cut long enough to rob place and
return. They were walking down
a side street in Darien with sacks
of silverware thrown over their
shoulders when arrested Sunday
morning.

Hampden to Tour
In 'Ruy Bias

Walter Hampden, leading actor
of the American stage, has
chosen Montreal as the city
and Monday, October 2, as the
date for the restoration to the
stage in this country of one OF
the most fascinating characters
in romantic drama, Ruy Bias, the
hero of Victor Hugo'S famous
play of that name.
This Canadian city, with its
large percentage of French popu-
lation, is an especially appro,
pirate place for the premiere Of
this new English version of the
masterpiece by Frances greatest
author. "Ruy Bias" will open in
New York city. and then will be
taken by the actor-manager on a
general tour of the country.
Walter Hampden's portrayal
will be completely different from
any other production, because Mr.
Hampden will play a dual role,
impersonating the ribald Don
Caesar de Bazan as we'll as the
more decorous and dominant Ruy
Bias. This is made possible by
the reconstruction and modern
ization of Hugo's play by Brian
Hooker, who is renowned as the
adapter of "Cyrano de Bergerac"
for Mr.. Hampden.

Sherlock Holmes
At Columbia

"A Study in Scarlet" is the en-
crossing murder mystery now
showing at Loew's Columbia
Theater. A battling round Of
murders are finally solved by
none other than Sherlock Holmes
in an interesting tale by Sir
Conan Doyle.
Reginald Owen, as Holmes, is
the perSonification of the clever
Scotland Yard detective, who
takes all the intricate pieces of
the crossword puzzle which
finally brings about the ap-
prehension of the guilty man.
Mr.. Maydew, a distinguished
lawyer, in the dual role of de-
voted adviser to his lovely client
(June Clyde and director OF a
notorious ring of cut-throats, is
endeavoring to double-cross his
conspirator colleagues. Thus it is
a satisfaction when justice even
tually triumphs and the guilty
persons are DrOu2nC TO Trial.
Doyle's usual twist for the un-
expected is deftly carried out in
"A Study in Scarlet" and so it is
