| Shorp's Island
| Sale Called off
By the Associated Press.

pS IIc aSSOCldltu lESS
EASTON, Md, May 24-The
scheduled sale of SharpS Island
the disappearing island" in the
Eastern bay off the Talbot County
shore-Was called off today.
Its owners, Vernon and Nina
Bradley of Cambridge, paid the
1883 taxes for which the island
was to have gone on the auction
block, County Treasurer William
Willis announced.
SharpS Island was once a thriving
farming community with hundreds
of acres of tillable land and a hotel
for sportSmeh and vacationiStS.
Erosion by Chesapeake Bay has
reduced the island from its 438
acres of half century ago to a bar
ren, uninhabited area of about 25
acres.
The disappearing bit of land, now
unvisited except by an occasional
fisherman seeking harbor during a
storm, was the scene at one time of
a brief SkirmiSh between American
colonist sailors and the crew of a
British sloop of war which had been
blown ashore on the island
Recently it has been used by naval
eviators in target practice.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 24-Mrs. Ruth
Steadman, 26-year-old Harvard buSi-
ness school secretary today saw the
State complete presentation of evi-
dence through which it is attempt
ing to SEND her TO the electric chair
for murder of Robert Emery, 26.
who left a widow and two children
when he died in her apartment last
January, rope around his neck.
Adjournment then was taken until
Monday. when the defense will open,
and Mrs. Steadman may testify or
not. as she chooses.
Expected as defense witness
was her insurance man husband,
Kenneth, who now resides in Pitts
burgh with their year-old daughter
Judy. At the time of her arrest,
Steadman. declaring the defendant
still is my wife and the mother of
my child" said he would help her
if he could.
The Young matron ended the first
week of her ordeal more composed
than during the opening days of the
trial Then she sat with closed or
lowered eyes while fervid letters to
her married lover were read and
while EmeryS girlish widow, Ruth.
Is, testified he had told her of the
affair.
The prosecution closed its case
without establishing the time of
Emery'S death any closer than a
tWo-day period. Through an array
of medical witnesses, it contended
the young real estate mans body
contained a deadly quantity of a
sleeping compound, but that death
actually was caused by moose of
white, cotton Clothesline.
At today's brief session a police
woman, Mrs. Lillian A. Taylor, tes-
titled Mrs. Steadman told her dur
ing her period of observation at the
Psychopathic Hospital:
I'm sure that this all happened
on Sunday afternoon because I was
working and I would have gone to
work Monday"
Emery's body was found Tuesday,
January 81. the day the defendant
was carried on a chair from her
apartment and taken to City Hos
pital, where physicians found her to
be suffering from alcohol and drug
poisoning.
