At the time of Greenberg’s arrest, there was some talk of the common counsel” taking impeachment action. Thic has been deferred. Investigation Discloses Nothing. Whether Chief William J. Rawlings of the police department has made any progregs in the investigation of the rumor that two more members of the police department are involved in the scandal,’ has not been made clear by the chief in reply to questions put to him from time to time.

WORTH $300,000, SHE - DIES LONE RECLUSE / Widow Locked Merself From World When Husband Died Six Years Ago. New York, Out. 31.—Six years ago when her husband, an official of a Manhattan insurance company, died, Mrs. Margaret aston drew down the _shades in the three-story frame dwell- ing at 90 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, and never after stepped -outside the house. Food, what there was of it, came through a cautiously raised win- dow in the basement; and dust settled thick and undisturbell in the home, for no one ever called. Occasionally the children of the neighborhood, after hearihg some gossip_of “the ‘queer little old lady,” peeked under the edges of curtains in the basement windows. Now and then they'd see Mrs. Easton, some- where between 75 and 80 years of ag®, rocking \herself—"a queer liftle old lady,” dressed like a figure in a woodcut print of forty years ago. Out of all the mystery there came of course, the neighborhood convic- tion that Mrs. Baston was rich. But it was not until midnight' Saturday, when Mrs. Easton was found dead in the rocking chair, that the neighbor- hood knew how rich. Investigators rummaging through the house found bankbooks showing deposits of $250,- 000, old-fashioned, heavy-stoned jew elry worth $50,000, and in one drawer, $1,570 in cash, including twenty-seven Lsso notes 2 BURRITT MISSION Appeal tos Public/ Results in- Seating Equipment for All Children Who Attend Through the generosity of friends of the City Mission and its subordinate branch, the Burritt Mission, to whom an appeal was made thréugh the col- umns of The Herald, Miss Bartlett now has 24 chairs for children and they will be installed in the Mjgsion Sunday school room within a few days.
