Ruby Story False
A statement from Inspector
Bernard w. Thompson, chief Of
detectives in the District, shattered
the theory that Keene was MUIR
dered because of a SIS 900 ruby
which he is alleged to have bad
on his person. Thompson said
that Keene had a ruby about six
months ago, but it was valued at
only $500 and also that it had
been disposed of to Charles Os-
borne, WashingtoE jeweler, with
whom Keene had business trans
actions.
Keene, who has been identified
by j. M. Eby, proprietor of the
ships newsstand as "the man in
the brown beret," is reported to
have bought two soft drinks from
him and returned to his cabin
with them. Eby said:
Later, another man came to
the counter alone and ordered
a bottle Of beer. When 1
turned around from the cooler
the man with the beret was
standing beside him and the
first man pushed the beer to-
ward the one in the beret and
he took it."
The two empty soft drink bot
ties were found in Keene's state.
room, but Mrs. Keene, who said
that her husband was in poor
health, does not believe that he
would have taken both beer and
soft drink.
Police place significance on the
fact that Keene'S hat was found
in the stateroom, but not the
beret.
A pair of suede gloves found on
the floor, which at first could
not be identified as belonging to
Keene, are reported by police to
be identical with a pair found in
his home at the Fairfax Hotel
yesterday.
Identifies Watch
Among other items found on
the stateroom floor was a wrist
watch which Keene's son identi.
fled. He holds that the condi.
ton of the watch is further proof
that his father met with violence,
explaining:
"The watch wasn't just
smashed. 1t never had been
taken off. 1t had been torn off,
and the silver mesh band was
broken"
The missing mans glasses
which had been reported smashed
were actually found broken in
only one place, near the rim
where they previously had been

4 MORE TO QUIT

SEN. LEWIS

Are Listed

CHICAGO, May 20 G.N.S).
That four more justices of the
United States Supreme Court will
follow Willis Van Devanter into
retirement soon was the prediction
left here today by Senator James
Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois.
These four the veteran Demo
cratic Senator identified as Jus
tices George Sutherland, Louis
Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo and
James McReynolds. He said it
was his belief the justices would
resign this summer, and their de-
-cision to retire was laid by the
Senator to provisions of the pro-
posed retirement act.
Not until the fate Of President
Roosevelt's court reform leglSla-
ton is definitely known will a sue
cesSor be appointed to Justice Van
Devanter, Senator Lewis predicted.
His successor, he said, probably
will be another WeSterner, mas
