The scene was the slave auction rooms of Beard & Calhoun, noted ante-bellum auctioneers, which is but one of the amazing settings for “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” the mammoth Universal production which opens at the Capitol theatre Monday. Students of Southern social his- tory declare that the reproduction is startlingly real. Four auctioneers are busily disposing of the human inanimate chattels of the St. Clare estate to an interested crowd of traders, stockmen, dandies, planta- tion owners, Southern belles and la- bor agents. In one corner a goatish auctioneer descants on ite wirtoes of a hand- sqme mulatto girltoa group of smirking young bloods; on another platform a second auctioneer dis- poses of a collection of furniture and rdv.are; at a third station squealing and bellowing live-stock are the points of interest; while in a fourth corner Teed Uncle Tom is being transferred from a comforta- ble home to an uncertain and fatal future, The brutal Simon Legree stalks importantly through the crowd ex- amining the miserable, black wretches who stand in quivering groups, not knowing what the next minute will bring. On the walls are handbills describing goods for auc- tion, calling attention to runaway slaves, and describing the virtues of various and divers spirituous pro- ducts, So faithfully has director Harry Pollard limned this scene that the babel of noises and the raucous voices of the bellows-lunged auc- tioneers are almost audible. Particu- lar pains were taken as these auc- tion rooms comprise of the key sit- uations of the epic production, for it marks the beginning of Uncle Tom’s immortal trip “down de rib- ber” and his subsequent introduction to Little Eva.

It is rare. Era of murders as the | present age seems to be, the cases jin which victims have been burned to death, or in which bodies of vic- tims have been cremated by the murderer after death, are almost rare enough to count on the fingers of one hand. The mysterious, amazing case of Miss Elfrieda Grace Knaak, fatally burned in a furnace in the basement of the Lake Bluff city hall, is cea latest in the short ‘list. Miss _Knaak insisted she herself thrust first her arms and then her legs into the flames, holding them there until they were charred to the bone, in a confused sort of “ordeal by fire” to test her “psychic love” for Charles W. Hitchcock, married policeman. Authorities, however, are openly skeptical, and insist some man must have forced her into the flames. They have no clews to work on, though, and the case may end a mys- tery. Obio Case Parallels In 1924, in Columbus, O., there was a somewhat parallel case, when the body of Mrs, C. V. Sheatsley, 50- year-old wife of a Lutheran minis- ter, was found in the furnace of their home. The Rev. Sheatsley had been away from home all afternoon. Their four | children had left Mrs. Sheatsley in the house at 1:30 p. m., and the first to return was a son, Milton. He reached the house at 3:15, and his mother was nowhere to be seen. | Half an hour later the other chil- dren came home, and all noticed the odor of burning flesh. A son, Clar- ence, aged 16, went to the basement, opened the furnace door, and looked in. He was so excited he said nothing about it to anyone, explaining later that he wanted somebody else to be the first to break the news. It was more than an hour later before the minister returned home; he went | downstairs, opened the furnace, and jmade the ghastly discovery. He called the police at once. Days of investigation followed. The police made certain that none jof the family had returned to the house between 1:30, when Mrs. Sheatsley was last seen alive, and 3:15, when Milton came back. No one had seen any stranger enter the There were no clews to in- dicate that anyone had broken in. Yet it seemed impossible to be- lieve that a 50-year-old woman could have crawled into the firebox of a furnace in which a strong fire was burning, shut the door after her, and deliberately lain down there to die in the most painful manner imag- inable. No solution of the mystery was ever reached. Into Furnace Alive In New York, in 1925, there was a murder by fire which, while the ele-| ment of mystery was lacking, made quite as much stir as the present case, George Symuk, a big, burly night watchman in a lumber yard, ursuing a sordid amour wi E phie Poleski, who was le: ig her husband every evening to slip out and meet Symuk in the empty office of the lumber yard, set back from the street behind big piles of boards that made it as private as two clan- destine lovers could wish. Every nigh Mrs. Poleski would bring him a bottle of wine, and he would give her some money. At last, however, Symuk became suspicious, in a dull, vengeful way. He believed that Mrs, Poleski was going to get all his money and then oison him in the wine she brought. im. So one night when she entered the office he struck her over the head with a hammer. The blow stunned her. Symuk dragged her downstairs to the basement, where there was a big furnace with a fire- box some six or seven feet long. Into the flames he pushed her, while her piercing screams rang out in the little room. He slammed the door shut, and returned upstairs. As he was going up, however, a peewee. entered. The officer had passing through the lumber yard and heard the screams. Over Symuk’s protests he went to the sement. Unable to find anything, drew his revolver and ordered Symuk to tell what had happened. Dumb with fear, Symuk could only point to the furnace. The officer threw open the door—and saw the woman’s charred body. Symuk was arrested, and made a full confession. Bluebeard Cremated Victims In 1922 Henri Landru, France’s notorious bluebeard, was guillotined after the astounding revelations of is wholesale murders at his villa. Most of his victims had been cre- mated; however, Landru apparently made sure that they were dead be- fore pairing them in the flames. A somewhat similar case occurred in New York in 1910, when Albert W. Wolter was arrested for. the murder of 15-year-old Ruth Wheeler. He had lured the girl to his apart- ment through a newspaper adver- tisement asking for a stenographer; then he had attacked her, strangled her, and thrust her body into his fireplace.
