Johm & Wierengo of Detreit, Cline's sister. Both women attempted to comfort the indicted author. ‘Writes While in Jail During the ensulng summer. Cline, | awaiting trial en the murder charge, | studied the ancient authors and wrote, He completed his third nove!, “The Dark Chamber™ and translated “The Honorable Picaic” from the French. Prior to his commitment to jail he had written two other novels: | “God Hesd,” a tragedy ending with a murder, and “Listen Moon!" a light account of an oldster's con- tempt for law and order. | At the end of the first week in The novelist's body, clad in pa- g ptember, Judge Edward M. Yeo- jamas and lying on & bed, was dis- covered by two tenants of the build- ing who opened the apartment door after receiving no response to their knocks. Cline apparently had not been seen since last Tuesday night when he gave a party {n his apartment. Miss Helen Todd, agent for the building, told police that during the party Cline had complained to her of his heart. Miss Todd added that the author came, to New York about a month ago'.som his farm near Willimantic, Conn, 8he said he told her that he was unable to work at his farm because of worry aboud financial obligations. He was writing for the magazine “Time” in addition to working on his manuscripts, Miss Todd said. Cline was 38 years old. His widow, Mrs. Katherine G. Cline of | Detroit, Mich., was notified of his death. Recalls Trwin Shooting | Leonard Cline, newspaperman and novelist, who was found dead in his | apartment in New York Sunday' night, was thrust into & glare of | notoriety 20 months ago by the kill- ing of his friend, Wilfred P. Irwin, on Cline’s farm, Chicory Hill, in | Mansfield Center. Rithough Cline was found in pos session of the shotgun that sent the | death slugs into Irwin, mystery shrouded the actual events that ‘led te and culminated in .the victim's death. Records of the Mansfield | court showed that a weck before | the shootinz the pair, in a drunken brawl had quarreled viciously and | that Cline had appealed to state peliee for protection. A day later Cline posted a bond for Irwin's re- | lease from"jail. | Shobting Follows Dispute Neighbors and newspaper men ro- | ported that the killing had been pre- | ceded by o drunken dispute between Cline and Trwin, Actually, all that was learnad was that a ambulance | summoned hy telephono to Chicory Hill found Irwin on a mattress in Clines home, bleeding to death early | in the morning: May 16, 1927. Cline was in the yard, a shotgun in his | hand. Both men protested that the shooting was accidental. - Irwin died the same day, clinging to the asser- tion that he had been shot accident- | ally. Neither man's wifc was pres- ent at the time. Immediately after Irwin's death, Cline was taken to tho Tolland county jail, Less than & month later, June 13, Clinc was indicted by a grand jury for murder in the first degree. He pleaded not guilty. Do- spite rumors at the time of the killing ‘that the marital life of both | |commented, there were * mans called Cline's case for trial. Four days were spent in selecting a jury, during which nearly 200 tales- men were examined before the 12 jurors were chosen. Again the shroud of myatery closed in over the case, Mansisughter On the day the real trial was scheduled to begin, with witnesscs {ready to testity, Cline entered a plea of guilty to an aménded chargy, manslaughter, Within & few md- utes he had been sentenced to a year in the Tolland county jail and fined $1000, Accompanied by his |wife and sister, he was driven to the jail the same day to start serv- ing his sentence. Tums to Wi Interviewed on his way to the jail, ; Cline disclosed ‘his intention of writ- ing. He had five plots in his head, he told congratulatory newspaper men, and the desire to write a book of verse. His firat task at the jail was to typewrite answers to his friends, hundreds of whom had sent messages of comfort to him while the jury was beng selected and mes- sages of congratulations when his sentence became known. That Cline enjoyed his experiences at the jail during the ten months he was there was disclosed by an ar- ticle “Jail Hill,” which he wrote for “Plain Talk.” In that article he hu- manized the old jail house and searched out delightful characteris- tics in his fellow inmates. But in an interview shortly before his release Cline informed a, reporter that he “found it terribly hard.” Still, he remendous compensations for the yecar of ad- versity.” The period, he said, had witnessed & great spiritual and eme- tional growth iy himself.
