WYNEKOOP CASE
REVIEW DENIED
Supreme Court Also Ignores
Plea of Two in UrSCheI
KIDNAPPING.
9y the Associated Press.

4y the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court denied the ap-
peals yesterday Of a 63-year-old Chi
cago woman physician under sentence
in the death of her daughter-in-law,
and two men convicted in connection
with the kidnapping of Charles F.
Urschel, Oklahoma City oil man.
The refusal of the high tribunal
to review the cases means the physi-
clan. Mrs. Alice L. Wynekoop, must
complete 25-year sentence imposed
in the death of her daughter law,
Rheta, the wife of her son, Earle.
Must Serve Term.
Clifford Skelly and Edward Ber-
mand. arrested in Minneapolis with
part Of the 100000 paid for the
ransom of Urschel, must serve terms
Of five years each.
Mrs. Wynekoop was arrested after
the body Of her sons wife was found
in her operating room. There was
. bullet wound caused by a shot
fired from a revolver owned by Earle.
Subjected to severe grilling, the
frail woman made three statements
to the police. In two. she declared
In substance that she found the dead
body of her daughter-in-laW on her
operating able on November aft
ernoon in 1888. In third statement
she said Rheta's. respiration stopped
while she was administering chloro-
form during treatment and that
she then fired a shot into the body.
Claims Confession Forced.
Mrs. Wynekoop's counsel contended
she had repudiated this confession"
which had been forced from her. he
claimed, by 12-hour "grilling." But
lower courts admitted it.
In the first case involving the Lind
berg kidnapping law to reach the high
court. Skelly and Bermand contended
that being found with portion of the
$4,000 in marked money paid for
Urschel's release in July, 1888, did
not connect them with the kidnapping
conspiracy. The Tenth Circuit Court
OF Appeals held otherwise.
The refusal of the Supreme Court
to review that ruling was interpreted
rs giving tentative approval to the
Governments contention that the
Lindberg law covered both those en-
gagged actively in kidnapping where
the victim is taken across State lines
and those found with the ransom
money in their possession.

FROM THE PRESS BOX
Other Owners Halt Macks Motions
Toward Grand Deal With Beantown.
Marcum stays im Philadelphia
for the nonce, and Squire Mack
agrees to mark time on Foxx
for o few days anyway.
BY JOHN LARDNER

Marcum stays in Philadelphia
for the nonce, and Squire Mack
agrees to mark time on Foxx
for few days anyway.
OF course, Col. Ruppert's hasty
conlmunistic gesture does not break
the backbone Of the Boston -Philadel-
phia deal completely. McNair and
Cramer will strengthen the Red sox,
maybe give them pennant. And
there Is still q possibility that Foxx
will follow his teammates to Massa-
chusetts-unless Col. Rupert can
raise the ante and block the move.
Colonel In Strange Position.
You see the difficulty of the colonel'a
position. He doesn't want to pay
the price for Foxx himself, having in
his own possession one Of the best first
basernen on land or sea. He doesn't
want to see the Maryland mauler go
to Boston. But he is keenly and
poignantly aware that Squire Mack
plans to dispose Of Foxx for all the
cash he can get.
In the last few days there was q
movement on foot to send Jimmy to
Chicago. He may 90 there yet, but
there's been no agreement on price.
It's doubtful, In fact, that any club
except the Red Sox can pay the price.
So Foxx simply may linger around
Philadelphia until the temptation to
convert him into negotiable assets
proves too strong for Squire Mack.
It's hard to say how much the Red
Sox will be strengthened by the &C.
QUESTION Of McNair and Cramer-
when and II that deal becomes official
With Grove and Ferrell working as
they did last season, with Cronin op-
Grating at third, and with Crarner pa
trolling the necessary pasturage In
center field, the team begins at last
to>appear to be smart, balanced out
fit never did before.
Foxx would be the clincher,
but without him the Sox lack .
certain measure Of consistent
strength In the infield.
Assuming for the moment that
Cramer and McNair viii be the only
new Sox, you have the prospect Of q
hell-for- leather three-club race In the
American League. Detroit Is tough,
with or without Simmons. The Yanks
will be improved nightly by Pinky
Higgins and even more so II they ac-
quire Roy johnson from Boston. To
sum it UP, three fine clubs.
Perhaps fresh maneuvers are being
Matched even now In the fertile minds
Of Col. RUPERT, Squire Mack and
Buyer Collins. But they've given US
enough to think about until December,
when the major leagues meet and the
chips appear on the table.

TT SEEMS that there were several
loud squawks and any number Of
vigorous beefs from the magnates
L Of the American League q short
while ago when Squire Cornelius
Mack, the sage Of Philadelphia, made
motions toward peddling his whole
ball club up the sea coast to the
Boston Red Sox.
Among the valuable live stock to
be included in this transaction were
James e. Foxx, the great rignt-handed
slugger; Eric McNair, as deft and
peppery q shortstop as you could wish
to see: Roger Cramer, the fieet-footed,
hard-hitting outfielder: Pinky Higgins.
possibly the best third baseman now
at large, and John Fatso Marcum, the
class of Squire Mack's pitching staff.
This deal was bigger than
any one expected, but 1t seems
to have been definitely ON the
fire, In spite Of the subsequent
angry denials Of the Boston
agent, Eddie Collins.
It was on the fire until Col. Jake
Rupert and two or three Of his fellow
magnates put their feet down. They
notified Squire Mack that he was
handing the pennant to Boston on o
chromium platter. They asked him
to consider some offers from them,
instead Of strengthening the Red Sox
to a point where it would cease to be
funny.

Rupert Once Bought Pennant.

IT'S somewhat ironical that Col. Rup-
pert should be at the head of this
share-the-wealth movement. It was
Col. Rupert himself who, is years
ago, engineered the greatest grab-the-
wealth movement In base ball history.
You'll recall that he bought o pen
nant wholesale from the same Red
Sox who are now strewing their cash
about so freely. His purchase Of
Ruth, Scott, Pennock and others made
the Yankees power-in fact, the
sole power, in the American League.
But the colonel has q second-place
ball club on his hands today, and he
wants to improve his position. He
can't do that II the Red Sox buy
themselves an invincible machine.
It's tough enough to have Detroit
making passes at Al Simmons. With
the ugly chasm of third or fourth
place yawning at his feet, the colonel
decided that something must be done
to check Squire Mack and his lust for
Boston gold.
So he did it-with the cooperation
OF o couple Of other ball barons. The
result Is that the Boston Philadelphia
deal has been cut Ia half. McNatr
and Cramer make UP the Boston
shipment. Higgins goes to Col. Rup-
