BY the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7.-Po-
lice blamed an accidental over
dose of sedative for the death
yesterday of 47-year-old Barton
Sewell II, millionaire sportsman,
who figured 20 years ago in a
sensational wife-swapping case.
His wife, the former Jane
Scholtz Emerson. Denver social
ite, found him slumped on the
bathroom floor of their home.
The sedative had been pre-.
scribed for a heart condition.
Mrs. Sewell formerly was wed
to Walter w. Emerson, actor and
writer. When he sued her for
divorce. he named Mr.. Sewell
as correspondent. Mrs. Emer-
son filed a crosS-complaint.
naming Mrs. Sewell, the former
Leah Clampitt, oil heiress, as CO.
respondent. Fist fights and sem
sational charges marked the
litigation, during which time the
Emerson children were placed in
the custody of Mrs. Emerson's
parents.

his earliest days. Tom says he
was a left-hander with a good

With Yanks and Phillies.
Mike played with numerous
sandlot teams in Washington
and was outstanding with the
Century A. c., managed by the
late Capt. Michael Ready Of the
Police Department, who was
famous, locally, in his own right.
Mr.. Cantwell was good enough to
get a major league chance under
Manager Bill Donovan of the New
York Yankees in 1916 and in
1919 and 1920 he played for the
PhillieS.
Johnny Fitzgerald. one Of the
city's best catchers some Is
years ago, recalls Mike as one
Of the best left-handers in the
area at that time and one Of
the games most popular players.
Fitz was Mikes catcher on nu-
merous teams, including the
Drillery School. Strayer's Busi-
ness College, Emerald A. c.,

Mikes diamond career also
took him to Martinsburg, w. Va,
under Manager Country Morris,
and to Oil City, Pa, where
Tommy Gagnon was one of his
teammates. Before that he
played for Tech High School and
at Georgetown University.

Marines at the United States
Embassy in China from 1885 to
1887. Mike wrote vivid descrip-
tions of the unsettled conditions
in that country. Mrs. Kraft said
the family frequently tried to
persuade him to write stories of
his military adventures but Mike
was too busy with service duties
and baseball.
Blarney Helps in Jam.
Tom Cantwell vouches for
Mikes Irish blarney, recalling
a night Mike was late getting
aboard a ship and was chal-
lenged by the sentry.
Almost certain to be turned
in, which would have cost him
a berth on the baseball squad,
Mike struck UP conversation
with the Marine guard and dis
covered he was Ted Anderson,
who had played first base at
Terre Haute when Tom was
pitching for that club. Need
less to say, Mike was passed
without further ado.
Mike left the service for a
spell and was associated with
Tom in the paper business until
his restless spirit made him
move on. He tried his hand
in other selling ventures but
eventually rejoined the Marines.
He coached the Quantico Marine
nine in the 1930s and one of
his proudest possessions was a
suede jacket bearing the Corps
insignia, presented to him by
the squad.

injury was caused by the explo-
sion of a 500-pound Japanese
bomb during the early heavy
fighting which helped turn the
tide Of the war in the Pacific in
this country's favor.
Mike still had hopes of making
a complete recovery and rejoin-
ing his old outfit when he died.
He had been up and down the
on-commissioned officer scale,
caring little how many stripes he
wore on his arm as long as the
platoon did its job and he could
be with the baseball team in
season.
Mrs. Kraft. the former Mary
Jane Cantwell. with whom Mike
lived for a time, knew he would
like nothing better than to be
buried in Arlington in a Marine
uniform. Marine Corps officials
agreed, and Mike will receive full
honors, in uniform.
