SUSPECT SEIZED
 IN AXE SHAVING
Dairy Farmer Found With Skull Split Open in Barn
 at CranstOn, R. l.

Cranston, R. T., Aug. 7-(UP)- A man was seized early today as a suspect in the axe-slaying of Romeo LaFlamme, 45. bachelor dairy farm CT, soon after the murder weapon was found in the ramshackle barn where the victim was felled while doing milking chores.
 The suspect, described by police as man known in the neighbor- hood and very familiar with La- Flamme's activities" was held with out charge pending questioning. Police said the arrest was made after 8 stained axe was found hid- den in room in the barn where LaFlamme's body, the skull split by deep wound, was discovered late yesterday by John Quinn, a farm hand who had been hired ID holHs earlier.
 The axe, they said, had been moved from its accustomed place with other sharp farm implements. In a preliminary investigation, med- ical examiner James J. Flanagan described the case as murder and said the victim was felled by a blad- ed weapon.
 Several nephews and nieces saw LaFlamme enter the barn about an hour and a half before his body was found. None of them saw anything suspicious during that time but said many persons came to buy milk, and a stranger would attract little at- tention. Robbery was eliminated as the motive since the victim carried little money and $1.65 was found in pocket.
 LaFlamme's death occurred in the same building where his father was gored to death by a bull 20 years ago. The victim lived with his 71-year mother in the oldest of several farm houses that formed a little colony in which five broth ers-Philip, Emil, Henry, Theophile and Albert-lived. Three other brothers are Fred of Arlington, George, now in the U. s. Army, and Arthur of Lincoln.

SIXTEEN WOMEN
 WRONGLY JAILED
District Court Erred in Giving RefOrmatOry Sen-
 tences in Mass.

Boston, August 2. - (UP) - At- torney General Robert T. Bush nell today investigated reports that 16 women had been sentenced H. legally to the women's reformatory at Birmingham by the same district court.
 The apparent injustices were dis covered by state correction commis- sioner Arthur T. Lynn while check ing prisoners record in connec- tion with an extradition case. He said the woman had been sentenced to five years on an escape indenture charge which carried maximum penalty of two years.
 Lymon said a study of the rec ords showed that 15 other women also apparently had been sentenced to too long terms. Names of the prisoners and of the court in ques- tion were withheld.
 Both Bushnell and Lyman be- lieved there would be no injustice involved since the women havent been confined long enough to begir the added time.
 Five of the women ware giver five-year terms for escape from indenture a system where womer prisoners are hired out to private families, receiving wages but being compelled to remain with the fam lilies subject to periodic checks by correction department officials. The other II women were given TO- year terms by the district court and Lyman said the maximum pen atty such a court can impose is only five years. The women should have been sentenced by a superior court he said.
