questions, he repeated the same thing in other phrases. Finally, however, as though he were talking of the weather, he said: "You might also say that while there's a job to be done here, intend to do it."
 That means you're going to run for third term?" the writer asked.
 "Own Conclusions"
 "You newspaper fellows can draw your own conclusions" said Mayor Scully, with a grin.
 At other times, when the occasion warranted, he could be direct and incisive. He would say what he wanted to tell the people of Water bury, and say 1t concisely and plainly.
 The esteem in which Vincent Scully was held is the true mark of the man. Even his political op- ponents and his few political ene- mics admitted their personal liking for the man, and their belief in his honesty and sincerity of purpose. He had the respect of the whole community for his forthrightness and his simplicity. He was, to use the phrase in its very best sense, a simple man. He was 8 man of simple beliefs, simple tastes, simple purposes.
 His apparent indirection, like his apparent casualness, was a mask for a direct approach to every problem which faced him. Once he took a stand, he never yielded, as proven by the several times he riSked his political future by taking the un- popular side of an issue. He knew the risks, yet he follow:d his own beliefs and his own conscience.
 Masterpiece
 A speaker of unquestioned ability, Vincent Scully made many great speeches during his career, but the greatest in this writer's recollec- ton is one that he made at Tor rington in 1940, at a congressional convention. The United States was not at war in those days, and the isolationists were in their hey-dey, e0SQAAy AAeAA VAAS SO0A eS9S to make bold plea that we join our fortunes with those of Britain and France. In that speech he out- lined events to come, and history gave truth to what he said. He made clear then what many Amer jeans did not realize until Pearl Harbor, that our destinities were inextricably linked with those of Britain and China. that the Axis was just waiting for a favorable moment to launch an attack aimed at removing forever the threat of American intervention on behalf of the freedom of mankind.
 Vincent Scully would want no eulogy, no finely-phrased audations. He would want to be judged only on the record that he left behind him.
 That record, shining in it's bril- liance, solid in its achievements. is the greatest epitaph that can be given great mayor.

New Evidence
in Cakes Case

Nassau. July 16--INS-The Duke
and Duchess OF windsor were TO
attend memorial services today
for Sir Harry Cakes. American
BORN multi-mllionaire baronet who
was murdered in his bed July s.
Meanwhile new developments in
the murder investigation inyoly-
ing at least two other persons was
believed to have poked Noles in
the case against Sir FL 5 SON
in-law, Count Alfred u arigny,
who is being held in :nection
with the Staying. Nassau police
officials are still unable either to
reconstruct the crime satisfactor-
lily or to find the murder weapon.
According TO those who examin-
ed the body. some instrument from
which .protruded a nail or other
projection. was welded by the
slayer. Deep holes were found in
Sir Harry's skull and there were
many bruises on his body. which
was badly burned after his Stay
er set the bed Attire.
Authorities admitted that dis
covery OF new angles apparently
clouded the charge against De
Marigny. who has perslstently de-
MED any guilt despite unrelenting
questioning.
Nassau authorities refused TO
deny or affirm reports that the
new evidence would result in dis
missal of the count and said only
that the French playboy would be
detained for questioning.
Marquiz Georges De Nisdelou-
Guimbeau. who lived with DE
Marginy. was summoned to police
headquarters and remained closet
ed with officers for half an hour
but police said the questioning was
on a matter not directly connected
with Sir Harry's death. AS ha
left police headquarters. the mar
ouis appeared greatly upset but
refused TO comment. other than
to humble over and over again in
French that the whole situation
was awful
Meanwhile Sir Harry's youngest
daughter. Nancy. wife OF De Mar
igny. who now Is on the Amer
lean mainland. was reported ready
to fly TO Nassau in response to
urgent pleading by the count. She
had left the island two weeks be
fore the Staying. to return TO her
