WIFE WHO SHOT
R|VALFREED

CHARIOT ESVILLE, Va,
March 31.-Mrs. William Casey,
who killed Mrs. Elsie Ray, rival
for her husbands love, was &C
quilted of murder charges by q
jury in Charlottesville Corpora
tion Court last night after one
day trial. Her story of how she
tried to break up the attachment
between her husband and "the
other woman" was woven into
her testimony to support the de-
fense claim that she was "emo-
tionally insane" when she shot
down Mrs. Ray here the night Of
January 8. The jury deliberated
only 80 minutes.
A demonstration for the
popular verdict was nailed when
Judge A. D. Dabney placed
a small fine upon a spectator
who began to clap. The 36-year-
old defendant can now spend
Easter Sunday free woman with
her bab.- girl. She is a daughter
of Mrs. Gable Mundy, of Claren-
don, Va.
Her husband, who was present
when his wife shot Mrs. Ray on
a Charlottesville street had done
all in his power to help his wife,
her attorneys said, but they would
not speculate as to whether a
reconciliation was possible.

ARREST
Turks Move Cautiously to
Avoid International Issue;
Ship Still Haven

ISTANB UL, March 81
N.S.).-Although threatened
with removal by the Turk
ish authorities, Samuel insult,
fugitive Chicago financier, was
still aboard the Greek steam
ship Maiotis, in which he fled
from Greece to escape depor-
tation, at 5 o'clock this after
noon 30 a. M, E. S. T.)
A strong protest by the Greek
government against the detention
of the Maiotis and the threatened
arrest of insult apparently had
saved the American fugitive from
summary removal from the ship
to face a Turkish tribunal.
Turks in Quandary
Turkish officials were in o
quandary how to proceed in view
Of the Greek protest, and local Of.
ficials We're awaiting instructions
from the government at Angora.
Meanwhile, insult remained under
heavy guard aboard the Maiotis.
Thus Greece, which refused to
extradite insult to the United
States and ordered his deportation
only after strong pressure from
America, again had stepped in to
delay, if not to save, insult from
falling into the clutches of Ameri-
can officials.
It was understood formal orders
for insults arrest had been issued
by the Turkish government at the
request of Robert P. Skinner, the
United States Ambassador, but
Intervention of Greece so far has
held up execution of the orders.
Turkish officials are torn be-
tween their desire to acquiesce in
the demands of the United States
and their desire to avoid a contro-
versy in international law with
Greece.
It is understood the Greeks
base their protest on the grounds
that Turkey has violated the
Straits convention of the treaty
of Lausanne regarding free transit
through the Dardanelles, the Sea
of Marmora, and the BosphoruS
to the Black Sea.
