SHERLOCK HOLNES 15 LAID AT REST Nothing Further Will Be Heard From Story Book Detective London, June 168 (UP)—Sherlock Holmes, famous story book detec- tive who confounded criminals with test tube and magnifying glass, scorning the while the stupid blun- ders of Scotland Yard, died today Iiolmes death was announced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whose storics of Sherlock have been read by mil lions of persons of all ages. Sir Arthur, who latterly has bo won from the school of scientif criminology to occult practices o spiritualism, explained Holmes death in the preface to his ow: “case book of Sherlock Holmes.” “f fear,” wrote Sir Arthur, “th Mr. Sherlock Holmes may becom: like one of those popular tenors who, having outlived their time, still are tempted to make repeated farewell bows before their Indulgent audi- onces. This must cease. He must| zo the way of all flesh, material or inaginary.” 2 The mewing of Sherlock's violln and his resolute foot fall no longer will be heard along Baker strect, where, since Sherlock took up his famous lodgings, there has been an invasion of giant motor busses and 4 jamming of traffic. So crowded has the street become that it no longer was suitable a to the contemplation and modest delights of a man who delved in the mys- teries of crime. | Sherlock, fittingly, had two lives and it was his second Arthur took from him today. The first time | Sherlock died with his boots on. He | long had pitted his skill against the criminal cunning of Dr. Moriarity, | ore of the basest of villians, and | finally the peir met in combat on the odge of a cliff. | Before the eyes of Watson, of urse vou remember Watson, the | pair fought and fell to their deaths. | But, Sherlock's friends had mot} had enough of him. Sir Arthur was besought to resurrect his master character. And, finally, Sherlock came back to life, having escaped | death on the cliff in miraculous | manner common to super-human | sleuths, to continue his career as the | terror of wrong doers and the envy of the slow witted gentlemen from | the yard. | Now, Sherlock has died again, or rather, he has been murdered and | by the hand of his creator. Per Taps his violent second demise W a final gesture of defiance to the Yard; let them solve it if they can. As recently as May, Sir Arthur last publicly announced his belief that there werc means of crime de- tection superior to those employed | by Holmes. Sir Arthur's comment | was in connection with the Charging Oross trunk murder, which by it very name seemed more fitted to the | pages of Sherlock's career than to | the blotter and court records ot the London police and magistrates be- fore whom it came for action. The case itself concerned the dismem- bered body of a woman which had | been stuffed in a trunk andj| checked at the station by “a well dressed man.” Arthur then | urged the necessity for every po- lice station in the world to include a spiritualistic medium on its staft | whose services would be utilized solving mysteries. | Scotland Yard, ever impervious to | suggestion, chose its own plodding way to trap the murderer who con- fessed and who now is on trial here. But, Sir Arthur's suggestion was a hint that all was not well for Sher- lock. His own creator lost faith in the detective, and now he s dead. But-even in death, Sherlock will not be idle. Resting comfortably in his pages of thousands of library shelves, Sherlock will be with us forever, peering through his glass rolling a bit of cigar ash in his palm | or smiling a long- ng smile as | he arrives on the scene of a erime to fitd that the stupld oafs from the yard have obliterated the real | clues in their clumsy search of the premises.

'COURT REGORDS SHOW - MAYO IS DIVORCED| | (Continued from First Page) i prison for about five and a half |years, using his wealth in contest- |ing court actions and in resisting |the efforts of Miss Meyers, as her name appeared in action, to obtain |judgments against him. It was said that Mayo's relations | with several women were brought into public notice in the course of the litigation, and Lois, Waterbury of New Ha n, who lived in Brook- lyn as his ¢ and mother of his two children by her, was one of them. He later married Miss Wa- | [terbury. It had also been brought out that s first wife lived in Pennsylvania and that he had three | children by that marriage. | Mayo was indicted on August 14, | 1519. He fought his conviction up to | the appellate court division and the supreme court and in all the years | that his case was in court he was at | liberty except for about three weecks | immediately after his conviction and |until he could arrange for bail he spent this period in the tombs in| | New York city. When the highest court in New York state affirmed his sentence by a vole of 4 to 3 Mayo was surren- dered by his counsel, George Gordon Battle, to Supreme Cou:t Justice | Guy in chambers. A wcek of grace| was granted Mayo in which to set-| tle up his aftairs. | Mayo went to Sing Sing on May | 5. He gave his age as 66 at : he entered that place. He d after some months be- cause of the condition of his health | nd also for excellence of behavior. | Mayo's martial career covered 40| years, His first wife died in 1887: In| 1590 he married Florence Weeks at| | Binghamton, Y., and there were| three children. They separated in| 1109. On April 2, 1904, Mayo went | ithrough a ceremony it was claimed | ith Miss Wilhelmina Mayer, aged 22, in Newark, the bridegroom rep- resenting himself as V. Jullan May, |aged 45. In his trial Mayo sald he met Miss Mayer at a boarding house in Brooklyn, that they bccame ac- quainted, and although she was en- gaged to another at the time they ! went to Coney Ihland together and told each other the story of their lives. Mayo claimed that Miss Mayer agreed to deception practiced by him on the minister who married them. They lived together for several years and until Miss Meyer heard.of Lois Waterbury who was living in Brook- lyn at an address which also was that of Mayo. A suit for breach of promfse fol- lowed and there was in the suit a verdict of $101,330 damage against Mayo. Litigation in effort to collect the award under judgment decrees lasted for several years, and prop- | erty which Mayo had in New Haven, mden, Stamford and c‘her places were at times under attachments. Mayo at the time was a mrnufactur- er in Hamden and was reputed to be wealthy. Miss Meyer endeavored to obtain possession of the house in Birooklyn in which Mayo was living | with Lois Waterbury, and it was re- vealed that Mayo had dceded the property to the latter. The year pre- vious Mayo's name had bzen brought into the story of the suicide of Miss Lilllan Cook, his stenographer, on West Rock, New Haven, but Coroner Mix on March 6 of that year entire- ly exonerated Mayo, ho:ding that Miss Cook alone was-responsible for her death. ‘When Mayo was sent:nced, Hugo Wintner, assistant distric: attorney, had combatted a pela for geniency, cescribing Mayo as a “modern Don Juan.” His wife and his daughter by a former marriage were :n the court room at the time.
