1925 Ceremony Upheld
In dismissing the suit, Judge
Cotillo explained that the ques'
tion of Miss Garcia's first mar.
riage could not be attacked in an
action of the character before
him.
The Judge said he was com
PEELED to recognize the fact that
Miss Garcia had contracted a
marriage in 1925. This marriage,
he said, was in full effect when
Peggy alleges Rubinoff promised
to marry her in 1888. Therefore,
she was in no position to contract
another marriage.
Judge Cotillo pointed out that
when Peggy married Taylor
Quinn in 1925 the Virginia
statutes provided that girls could
marry at the age Of IL, and boys
at IA. He said that although
Miss Garcia did seek to divorce
Quinn, nothing ever was done
about it legally.
Peggy explained that she did
not get the divorce because she
had been given the impression the
marriage was void since she was
only IL years and months old
at the time. Last September
Peggy married Michael La Rocco,
young New York business man.
In dismissing the case, Cotillo
said records of the proceedings
would be sent to the office of Dis
trict Attorney William c. Dodge.

JURIST BLOCKS
DEATHVERDICT
FOR TROOPER

SOMERSET Pa, Feb. "a
GN.S0. - Handsome young
Stacey Gunderman was snatched
from possible death in the electric
chair today.
Just as attorneys launched into
final pleas, Supreme Court Justice
George w. Maxey instructed the
jury of 10 men and two women
that no first-degree murder YER
dict was possible on the face Of
the evidence presented by Attor-
ney General Charles j. Margiotti,
special prosecutor.
The death of Frank C. Mona
CHAN, 64, elderly hotel keeper Of
Uniontown, in the Bertillon room
of the Fayette county courthouse,
was nothing more than second-de-
gree murder, or less, MaXey i'm
piled.
For the first time since the trial
began, the features of the trooper
broke into trace of a smile. Mar.
giotti, surprised at the crushing
blow, remained tight-lipped.
Maxey's instructions to the jury
came on a ruling on Margiotti's
motion to revoke the blanket
100000 bond of Gunderman and
his codefendants and commit them
to jail. The motion was denied,
Maxey ruling there was no evi.
dence of first-degree murder.
The maximum penalty for sec.
ond-degree murder is from 10 to
20 years.

FINGER MAN
HUNTED IN
Staying
Link With Midwest
Seen in Killing of
Labor Leader

HACKENSACK, N. j.. Feb. "a
Q.N.S0 THE long -barreled pistol
dropped by the slayers of Norman
Redwood was traced tentatively to
st. Louis today as investigators
sought link in Chicago and the
midwest to the bitter Eastern la
Dor strife that led to his murder.
While New Jersey authorities
awaited word from the Simmons
Hardware Company in st. Louis
on their disposition of the gun,
Prosecutor John J. Breslin, of Ber-
gen county, sent detectives to
check records of Newark Airport
for arrivals from Chicago preced-
ing the murder last Friday night.
The prosecutor acted on new in
formation pointing to a strong
possibility that, while the actual
conspiracy leading to assaSSina-
ton took place in New York, the
killers came from Chicago and re-
turned there.
"$5,OOO Killing Job"
So strong was the belief of au-
thorities in their latest theory
that one high police official said
bluntly:
"This looks like a $4,000
killing job"
Bergen county police officials
strongly intimated that there was
a "finger-man" in the Casa
spotter known to the hired as
sassins who either trailed Red
wood to his Teaneck home or &C.
companied him there the night Of
the killing.
Since imported slayers might
not have been able to recognize
Redwood, the finger man" theory
gained in credibility.
Taking Home a Guest
From Chief Peter j. Siccardi of
the Bergen county police it was
learned that when Redwood tele-
phoned his wife at 6:10 p. m. Fri
day from his office in New York,
he told her he was bringing some
body home to dinner"
Previously police learned they
had been entirely wrong in trac-
ing the gun found near the Red
wood home to the late Carroll
Potter, police chief of Demarest,

On the floor below, in the Sec
