MOTHER FACES
D. COURT IN
GAS DEATH

Matte Bray, A, went on trial In
United States District Court today
on an indictment charging her
with manslaughter in connection
with the death Of her daughter,
Dorothy Fenwick, who was fatally
burned with gasoline hurled by
Mrs. Bray during q quarrel with
her husband last october 10.
Samuel Bray. stepfather Of the
girl, was the principal government
witness at the morning session.
Under questioning by Assistant
United States Attorney Cecil r.
Heflin, Bray described family hv-
ing conditions in their small apart
ment at 439 K st. N. w.
The three, Bray, his wife and
stepdaughter, were in the room
when he chided Mrs. Bray for
drinking too much, he said. She
became abusive and the quarrel
became intensified. Meanwhile
the girl was standing at the stove
in the corner Of the room, prepar.
ing breakfast for the two.
Finally, Bray said, his wife told
him to "get out and stay out" and
as he prepared to depart, she
hurled half-gallon jar Of gasoline
at him. The jar missed him and
dashed against the wall above the
girls head and broke. He said she
Immediately became enveloped In
the flames.
The girl was rushed to Sibley
Hospital after neighbors, hearing
her screams, rushed to her aid
and helped extinguish the flames
Later she was removed to Gal
linger Hospital where numerous
blood tranSfusions failed to save
her life. She died January 30 and
her mothers indictment followed.
An inkling Of what her defense
might be was seen in Bray's state
ment:
"She always took a half-gaIIOn
jar Of water to bed with her
and would drink it during the
night"
1t was indicated Attorney John
j. McGinnis might base his de.
Tense on the fact that the woman
thought the jar she hurled at
Bray was her water jar. at

large medallions for the new post
office in Newark, N. j. Her hus-
band was the architect for both
buildings.
From the time she was able to
toddle, Mrs. Totten has been a
sculptor. Her first clay came
from the Stockholm roads near
her home. Hers is one Of the
oldest noble families in Sweden
When she was Is Carl Miles,
Sweden's greatest living sculptor,
heard of the talented child and
came to see her. He became her
teacher and she gives him credit
for much Of her success.
Porcelain Pays Bills
The Swedes, Mrs. Totten said.
love procelains. With a little
smile she remarked:
"YOu can pay your grocer
with q piece Of porcelain. One
always pays ones doctors bills
with q piece Of art. In Sweden
there are many fine artists and
the citizens encourage them.

always. Sometimes don't work
at alE-sOmetimeS I work in

hours" ~E-
At present Mrs. Totten is writ
ing a book on Sweden as it was in
the Sixteenth century.
She is rather shy about talking
Of herself, though she has that
easy grace of the well-poised,
much travelled person. She makes
frequent trips to New York to at.
tend exhibitions of her work. Has,
in fact, exhibited at the Corcoran
Art Gallery here, and is well
known in Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago art circles as well.
Loves Her Art
She seldom duplicates a piece
Of art. She loves her porcelain
figures as a mother does her
children and watches anxiously
when people handle them. There
has been so much demand for her
art that she has difficulty keep
ing any Of it for herself, and the
pieces she has retained she will
not part with at any price.
Like so many great artists, Mrs.
lotion has a quiet serenity
sort Of bigneSs that enfoldS all she
meets. She is warm-hearted, gen.
erouS and devoted to her husband
and sons. She loves to talk about
the latter. Both have already
shown considerable artistic ability
they paint and draw, and Gill
bert, the eldest, plays the piano
exceptionally well. The Choate
School, one of the finest boys
schools in the country, offered the
lad a scholarship - so anxious
were they to have him as a stu
dent. His mother said:
ga! He ISIS wonderful! But
do not want him to be an
artist! 1t is too hard to make
a living here in America. / want
him to be an engineer"
