SLAYER OF GIRL
HASNOR EMORSE


Il lust can't believe Hugh would
do such terrible thing" she said.
"He was SO quiet and gentlemanly.
There never was 9 nicer boy 70
come to our house and he never
took Rita out without obtaining my
permission. Naturally, I should trust
him. And now he has done this ave-
full thing to that sweet child"
Her father, who sat In the court
room as the brief hearing was con-
Quoted, told reporters:
IT Just can't take it in.V
Young Kenyon, employed as an
apprentice at printing machinery
manufacturing company at Pawca-
tuck, was regarded as a model
boy" In the town.
Never In Trouble
He worked steadily, was well liked
and never got into trouble. He lived
with his father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. Alvin Kenyon, and was their
only child.
Mrs. Kenyon, who was appointed
her sons guardian, ad Item, lodged
interviewers. She followed the court
proceedings with quiet concern.
Since her release from states pri-
son In 1927, after serving seven
years for the killing Of DR.. Herbert
Tetlow, q Pawcatuck physician, she
was q devoted mother and confidant
to her son.
The staying for which she was
sent to prison occurred in 1922 and
the state charged 1t resulted from
a dispute over the physicians at
tentions. Mrs. Kenyon testified she
pleaded with the doctor to end their
relationship and when he refused,
she went to his home with o gun
to "end 1t ALL she was convicted
Of granddaughter.
Young Kenyon told police how he
had pleaded with Miss Wheaton to
marry him and tntimated he con-
tenplated suicide IL she refused.
Il thought that If she became
angry with me and we broke UP in q
fight, she would not feel so badly II
later I did away with myself" po.
lice quoted him as saying.
He killed her, police said he told
them, as she started to walk back
to their parked automobile at Chip
padaza Brook, after telling him she
must wait two or three years be-
fore considering marriage.
Something Affected Him
Kenyon said something came
over me" and he grabbed q black
jack from the car and hit her on
the head.
She was moaning and crying and
I took her in my arms and held her
for some time. She told me she
would forgive me and asked me to
take her home"
Then she became unconscious.
Kenyon said he then hit her on the
head several time with a stone.
dragged her to the brook, weighted
the body with stones and submerged
her in the water.
His arrest came after he told his
story to friend who advised him
to see a priest. The priest, the Rev.
Joseph Murphy, Pawcatuck, sum-
moned authorities.
Coroner Edward g. Mckay was
to complete his autopsy
today or tomorrow and report on
how the girl met death-whether
she was killed by the blow on the
head or was drowned.
Meanwhile, Kenyon remained IN
jail, without bond, and under police
guard until July 20 when he again
will be arraigned in the town court

His Big Test
That was strain enough, but his
big test came later when the voice
Of his chief-the man he had served
so faithfully for seven years, and
whose fortunes he was now volun-
tarily abandoning-came from the
loud-speakers. No one could tell
what was in his eyes-what express
sion was on his face, no more than
they could tell what was In his mind
as "the voice" enthralled its hear
ers. Farley covered his face with a
fan.
g. to my old friend. Jim
Farley-I send to you, as I have
often done before, my most sincere
apprecia ton
Perhaps no one will ever know
what that brought to the surface of
the mind Of the big man holding a
fan over his face. For a flash, the
fan dropped away He tried to look
up, seemed unable to, and the fan
went back. His eyes looked wet
perhaps it was the klieg lights. The
voice ceased. They were whooping
and hollering out on the floor. Far
ley lowered the fan. Perhaps he
lowered it too soon, for his face
seemed puckered, pouty, and the cor
ners of his mouth dropped. 1t was
there for only O second, that ex-
preston, then the facial muscles
frightened and he looked his genial,
bland self.

Chinook Winds

The chinook is wind which blows
from west or north over the Rocky
mountains, where it descends as a
dry wind, warm in winter and cool
in summer. 1t Is due to cyclone
passing northward and continues for
few hours to several days. In
Oregon and Washington the term is
sometimes applied to warm, moist
southwest wind. The wind was so
called by the white settlers Of As
toria because it came from the di-
rection OF the Chinook camp.

Huff Renamed
Head Of D. {.
Penal System,
Gives Up Mcneil
Post After Doctors
Soy He Is Recovering

Acting at the special request Of
the Board Of Public Welfare. the
Commissioners today reappointed
Ray L. Hun to his old post as gen.
eral superintendent Of penal insti-
tutions for the District, from which
he had resigned June IA.
Mr.. Hun had resigned the post
to accept appointment by the Jus<
tice Department as warden of the
Mcneil Island Federal Penitentiary,
Puget Sound, Wash, but was
stricken with an illness in Kentucky
several weeks ago while en- route to
his new position.
He returned here for treatment at
Mount Alto Hospital.
Coupled with the reappointment
of Mr.. HUFF was a 'gentleman's un-
derstanding" that he would con-
tinue in the penal directors posi-
ton for at least three years.
It also was said that his return to
the District post would not mean
that the Commissioners would seek
any increase in his pay of $500
year. This point came up be-
cause it was said Mr.. Huff would
have received a somewhat larger
salary at the Federal Penitentiary.
Botkin Suggested.
Meanwhile, the Welfare Board
had suggested to the Commissioners
the appointment of Claude o. Bot
kin, superintendent of the District
Reformatory at Lorton, Va, as Mr..
Huff's successor. Mr.. Botkin en-
tered the District service last fall,
coming here from the Federal
Southwestern Penitentiary at Ell
Reno, Okla, where he served as
chief probation officer.
Action on the proposed appoint
ment of Mr.. Botkin had been held
up at the request of Commissioner
John Russell Young to permit the
Commissioners to survey the field
to determine If there was person
equally qualified who was resident
of the District.
Thereafter, officials of the Welfare
Board, who had voiced regret at the
resignation of Mr.. Huff in the first
instance, consulted with him to see
If he might be interested in re-
applying for the penal directors
post here.
Agreed to Reapply for Job.
When Mr.. Huff received reports
from his physicians that he was on
the road to recovery, he agreed.
The formal recommendation of the
Welfare Board for the reappoint-
ment of Mr.. Huff was filed with
the Commissioners today and ap-
proved by them.
Robert E. Bondy, welfare director,
told the Commissioners: Mr.. HUFF
has indicated, after urgent repre-
sentations by the Board Of Com
missioners and the Board Of Public
Welfare. that he will accept this
appointment"
The reappointment Of Mr.. HUH
will become effective when he re-
ports back to duty. While this date
was left undetermined. reports are
that Mr.. Huff is rapidly recovering
and will be ready for duty after
some further treatments.

Bureau Of Sanitary Inspection Has
II Men to Watch Over Big City

later, depending on the nuisance,
the inspector returns. If the nuis-
ance has not been abated, the re-
sponsible person is interviewed.
j. Frank Butts, veteran director
of the Bureau of Sanitary Inspec-
tion, claims that nuisances in al
most every case abate after notice
is served or after the responsible
person is talked to. In any case
not more than l in 500 cases goes
to court.
During 1899 1875 nuisances were
abated, according to the annual re-
port of the bureau. The nuisances
included everything from filthy lots
to leaky roofs. In 1899 9,942 inspec-
tions were made, but Mr.. Butts said
that 80 per cent of them were made
by the routine inspectors.
The inspectors served the follow
ing number Of notices to abate
nuisances during 1889: 194 for
private alleys, 63s for filthy
private lots, los for lots with
stagnant water on them, 1873 for
areaways, l,47o for yards. 800 for
privies and 813 for sheds. Other
notices were served, but Mr.. Butts
cited these as being In the province
Of the routine inspectors.
In some cases the attention Of
other agencies Is drawn to n,lisances.
Last week 10 dirty public alleys
were called to the attention of the
city Refuse Department. In the
course of one days cruise about
the city Star reporter found twice
that number.

on his average day he spends usu-
ally an hour In the ONCE at the

port of the day before and examin-
ing records to ind the name and

where he has seen health menaces.
When he goes out on the Job

on which he marks his arrival and
departure ut each location, remarks
In . word on the condition he found
