The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-03

Waterbury today showered its congratulations on Thomas J. Lynch, veteran fireman, who late yesterday afternoon was named fire department chief by the board of fire commissioners One of the most popular members of the de- partment, Chief Lynch takes his new post just a month before he reaches the 40-year service mark in the department. Publications also went today to the new Deputy chief of the department, former Capt. Thomas Cavanaugh, who has been a regular member of the de- partment since 1905.
 Appointment of Deputy Lynch as chief by the board was prediction made by the Democrat immediately after the death of the late Chief Henry H. Heitman, and repeated only last week. Chief Lynch had been in acting charge of the de- partment since the death of Chief Heitman last year. His promotion meets with wide public favor, for his years in the department and his excellept record of service fully entitled him to the honor which he now enjoys.
 New Dcputy's Splendid Record
 Choice of Capt. Cavanaugh as deputy is also popular move, for it brings to the rank of permanent deputy a man who has acquitted himself exceptionally well while holding that post temporarily. Dep uty Cavanaugh was appointed regular in May, 1905. and was pro- noted to a captaincy on Aug. 2S, 1908.
 Since only one full-time deputy is provided by the charter. Capt. Martin Campion, who had also been mentioned for the post of deputy chief, will continue to serve as acting deputy. Capt. Campion, department drillmaster, likewise has an excellent record and is con- sidered almost certain choice for the next department promotion.
 Choice of Chief Lynch sets at rest recurring rumors that the board might go outside the depart

Brown student, passenger, said not a boat was lowered, not a life preserver was issued. Captain Pendleteon has been in command of coastal passenger vessels 15 years. This was his first command involved in an accident.
 Little Girl Describes It
 This story was old by Blanche Grossman, aged 5, one of the pas- sengers:
 "The noise was terrible and I beat mama to window. What do you think I saw? A great big ship sticking right into us. Mama wouldn't let me look any more, and and we ran to deck. (From the dining salon.)
 q got life belt, mama got a life belt, but papa didn't get any. Papa told us to stop running. He said 1t was nothing but we kept right on running. Papa ran too. Papa ran to help two old ladies who fell down. Then we went down some stairs and found a boat right there where the water was coming in and they lifted us in. looked up and saw our big boat topple just like & table.
 Then I cried, because I thought papa was drowned. But when we got ashore policeman asked us a lot of questions and we found out papa was not drowned at all. I'm glad 1t happened. l always wanted to get my name in the paper"
 The Grossmans are from Cam bridge, Mass.

BOSTON WOMAN

Before she went down, all pas sengers, so far as was known, ana all except four of the crew had been taken off. These four and perhaps a few of the passengers may have been drowned or may have got ashore either by swim ming or In one of the tugs, and will appear later.
 The U. s. steamboat inspection service ordered an immediate in- vestigation. Hearings probably will begin tomorrow. The two ships were going in opposite direc- tions and it was believed that con- fused signals on one bridge or both bridges were responsible. Captain ton declared this was the cause, but refused to gay anything fur ther. Captain John Wickman of the freighter would make no state ment.
 List Was in Doubt
 The Colonial Line, owner of the Lexington, kept an office staff at work all night attempting to arr rive at the precise number of per sons aboard. The purser's list had only 80. names---those who had been assigned to staterooms before the boat was hit. But between t20 and 130 passengers were aboard. All passengers, the line believed, had been saved. Of the crew four-Joe Lanires, Var reiro, F.. Pani, Joe Fernandez were missing. Sixty of the pas sengcrs are student at Brown uni- versity, Providence.
 Only few passengers were in staterooms; most were in the din- ing salon and other public rooms. The ripping crash-the frcighter's bow cut through forward of the bridge like knife-and all aboard were thrown prone. Water poured in. Men and women were rushed water by crew members to tugs that had drawn alongside. Sudden ly the Lexington tilted, dumping some of it's passengers and crew into the river. The tugs and Q police launch pulled them out.
 Ship Sank Rapidly
 Within five minutes the windowa of the Lexington promenade deck rooms were on a level with the decks of the rescuing tugs. As the ship sank, her superstructure tore lose and floated up stream with the tide.
 Captain Pendleton praised his crew for passing out life preserv- CTS, lowering boats, preserving or- der and generally aiding passen- gers. Amos Brown, Hoboken.

Seventh Instalment

SYNOPSIS Six persons are In an
inner Office of the law firm of Dawson.
Mcguire and Locke at Philadelphia. A
master hearing in the divorce case of
Rowland VS.. Rowland Is under way. Mrs.
Rowland, represented by her lawyer
brother, Mr.. willard: Mr.. Rowland, the
defendant, and his attorney, Mr.. Trum-
bull; the court clerk and Mr. Dawson, the
master, are the six persons. There Is
new development in the case. After failing
to defend himself against the charge Of
adultery in earlier hearings, Mr.. Rowland
digs up evidence and asks the courts per-
mission to produce witnesses and resist
the suit. Judge Dawson overrules the
heated objections of Mr.. Willard, and
orders the witness brought in. Rowlands
lawyer goes to get the witness but hnds
her dead-chloroformed. She Is Mrs. Bar
bara Keith, wife of a prominent Phila-
delphia business man. Judge Dawson
phoned for the police. Detective Tommy
Rankin is assigned to the case. He Is now
questioning all OF the parties involved IN
the case. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Nogales international., 1935-12-07

"How long has he been acquainted
with your wife?"- Rankin asked.
"Where did they meet?"
"At Saratoga last summer. Adele
bets on the races regularly, and
Campbell had a couple of horses
entered on which she placed bets.
They won, and afterward mutual
acquaintance introduced them; that
was the beginning. Then, last WIN
ter, we were at Palm Beach where
he had taken villa; she attended
his parties and they saw much OF
each other at the casino and on the
beach. He visited Philadelphia
fairly regularly and has been a guest
at the Willard home"
"Was the divorce entirely Mrs.
Rowland's wish? You opposed it
and would have done all in your
power to prevent it?'
The young man spread his hands
to emphasize his reply. Certainly
| opposed it," he declared vehement
ly. II had everything to lose by it
the income Adele settled on me,
plenty of leisure, and social position.
And | was trustee of my wife'S first
husbands estate; that was most inn
portant. For that, was as anxious
to stay married as Mr.. Willard was
to force us apart"
Rankin's voice held a note of
fresh interest. "Mr. Willard? How
did it affect him2 Had he a per-
sonal concern in the divorce besides
his professional desire to win the
case?"
"He benefited by it decidedly"
Rowland gave a short, scornful
laugh. "The minute Adele was
single, the executorship of Tom
| Marshalps estate-and with it the
power to manage its income-re-
verted to him. But as long as the
marriage lasted, l had charge. 1t
was all part of Marshall's clever
arrangement to make it difficult for
| Adele to marry second time"
| "Difficult?" The detective frowned
his perplexity. you'll have to ex-
plain, Mr. Rowland. How did he
expect to accomplish such a pur-
| pose"
The other shrugged. Quite SIM
ply, through his will, Rankin. You
see, Tom Marshall was a smart man
and understood his wife as well as
do. And jealous husband. It
seemed inevitable that at his death
she would marry again and he in
tended to forestall that. SO in his
will, he fixed it that whoever she
married next would be independent
of her. In fact, he would actually
manage her financial affairs and,
through them, her, at least with re-
gard to his property"
Exactly what did the terms of
the will provide?" Rankin inquired.
"In the first place, he made her
brother executor of his estate so
long as Adele remained single after
his DEATH" Rowland elaborated. "He
was to direct all investments for
both their benefits and turn over to
her at least seventy per cent of the
annual income. Or, if she married
again and was then divorced, the
control reverted to him. Naturally
it was to Willard's advantage I'd
keep her widow; and if she should
remarry, induce her to separate.
