 Tho thew man" may be either amazed or disa ppoInted, according to his promotion or demotion, but since he is an employe of the
 chain his ability is regarded rather than his feelings in the matter. He may be a big league pitcher helping out at Rochester. or he
 may be called in suddenly for scrv-
 ice at the main store. Hickey ham dies him just as n sales manager
 would change one of his mems ter- ritorv.
 The man in the case is the
 "glue" to which Hickey refers, and the Cardinal manager is expected
 to know how and where to apply
 1t. That Hickey is an expert at teaching his managers how to stick things together is evidenced by the CardinaIs' record since 1925 when he retired as manager himself and appointed Hornsby head man. Hornsby won a pcnnant and world series in 1926, his first year
 at the glue pot. but Rickey saw n chance to stick things together
 more firmly that winter, SO he sent Hornsby to the Giants for Frank
 Frisch and Jimmy Ring, and named Bob O'Farrell manager.

ALLEGED CHECK
 PASSER IS FREE
Was Sentenced to Jail But Another Man Was
 Guilty Party

Dedham, Mass, July 5-CUP)- Believed a victim of mistaken iden- tity, Wilbert H. Mcconnell of Ar Iington was freed from Dedham jail today after serving g and one half months of an 1S-month sent ence for allegedly passing worth. less checks.
 Mcconnell pleaded not guilty to the charge last September but was identified by several Quincy store keepers as the passer of the checks and was convicted by jury on four counts of larceny and five counts of uttering.
 After he had been jailed, how ever, checks signed in similar fash ion to those in his case appeared in various parts of the state. Thir- teen Lynn and Swampscott resi- dents gave a description of the check passer which tallied with that of the man in jail.
 Following a conference here to- day between District Attorney Ed mund R. Dewing and the trial judge, Harold Williams, new trial was ordered and Mcconnell was re- leased on his own recognizance. Dewing said he would make a thor ought investigation, deciding later whether Mcconnell would again have to stand trial.

KINGSTON FUND DISTRIBUTION
Superior Court Decides That All Members Will
 Have Equal Shares

Hartford, Conn, July 5.-(UP) A Hartford county superior court order that the fund of the King ston associates be distributed equally to members, was upheld to-day by the supreme court.
 The Kingston associates was subsidiary of the F. E. Kingston Co, which failed several years ago after an investigation which resulted in several of the firms of- ficials going to staet's prison. Firm members were permitted to invest in the company and in 1880, King ston, obtained waivers from ali but Gladys T. Barnes and Alice F.. Wayand, permitting the funds to be turned over to the mother com pany.
 When the firm failed Ebert E. Church was named trustee and filed a claim for $30,367.17 on be. half of the members. which was allowed and a 6 per cent dividend paid. The plaintiffs claimed they were entitled to a preferred claim inasmuch as they refused to sign waivers. The superior court held the plaintiffs not entitled to pref erence and must share in the di- vidend equally with then tohers.

NO DAMAGES IN
 SEDUCTION CASE
Alberta Supreme Court Reversed That Part of
 the Decision

Edmonton Alta, July 5-(U.P)
 Prime Minister John l.. Brown lee to-day was excused from pay ing $15,000 damages for seduction accomplished in his own home. Setting aside jury verdict favor ing Vivian MacMillan, 22, govern ment stenographer, and her father, the Alberta supreme court ruled neither had a right to action be- cause seduction had not interfered with Miss MacMillan's ability to serve her father or serve herself. Brownlee's resignation, presented to the lieutenant governor of AL berta Province, had not yet been accepted. It was not known if the court action would have any bear ing on his political fate.
 { The courts ruling, filed by act ing Chief Justice Ives, was entirely concerned with the right under the law of Miss MacMillan and her fa- ther to seek damages. The opinion pointed out that Miss MacMillan had suffered no illness as a result of being seduced and that her abil- ity to render services had not been interrupted. The court dismissed Brownlee's counter suit which all legged conspiracy to blacken his name because no evidence had been presented

ANOTHER POISON MYSTERY PROBE
 FOR LAWRENCE
Prosecutor in the Costello Case Is Handling New
 Investigation

Lawrence, Mass, July 5--(UP1-< District Attorney Hugh A. Gregg, who prosecuted the murder trial of Jessie B. Costello. Peabody wid- ow, last year, was confronted today by another poison death mystery.
 Principals in the latest case:
 Karel Gribok. 42. well-to-do grocer, who died June 21. suppos-s edly of pneumonia and alcoholic poisoning, and in whose body Dr w. F. Boos, Harvard toxicologist, found enough poison to cause death."
 Mrs Maria Gribok, 45. his widow and the beneficiary fhis S12,500 life insurance policy. who has been questioned exhaustivelv and who has protested her innocence.
 In the hope of finding evidence that might aid the present inves- tigation, Gregg considered the ad- visibility of eXhuming the body 0f Mrs Gribok's first husband. Mich ael Kabara, buried IS years ago in a Methuen cemetery. He died after being treated for kidney disor- der, according to hospital records. By him she had two sons.
 ''If we find that the circum- stances warrant it" Gregg said, i've will disinter the body of Kab- ara. If Kabara died of a metallic poisoning, it will show in what is left of his body in the grave"
 Insurance company records were studied today to establish whether Mrs Gribok was the beneficiary of kabara's policy and if so to what extent.
 Seen at her home, which police had just searched. last night, the widow, exhausted by day-long questioning, was hysterical.
 Look" she exclaimed, holding aloft a bottle of fly exterminator. They thought there was poison in this until they read the label" She held up tin can of putty. They thought this was it." She grabbed bottle. adding. "and this too" That contained just ordin- ary lye." she explained.

The Hutchinson claim is $15,- 165.17 and the Boody Mcclellan claim, $1,315.96. Under the su- preme court finding the claimants are entitled to the three ten per cent dividend payments allowed savings depositors of the Merchants Trust Company.
 The decision is important in that there are more claims understood to be pending that are based on the same situationc governing the Hutchinson and Boody-McLellan cases. In these cases the treas urer's, checks had been issued by the Merchants Trust Company, but before collection could be made upon them, the bank closed.
 The issues presented were so similar, says the opinion, that the questions were discussed together. In each case the claimant was a depositor of the Merchants Trust Company. The question was whether the claimants had ceased to be depositors or had become general creditors.
 On December 21. 1881, there was a deposit in the name of Katherine and Rose Hutchinson in the sav- ings department in the amount of $15,165.17. Katherine decided to
