AR N T 18 ° Tuckahoe Uncertain Whether to - Help_C_elebrate Capture.of Andree Tuckshoe, N. Y., Sept. 18 (A — Whether the capture of Major John Andre, British spy, is a just cause| for celebration has become a sub- jéct of dispute among the village | fathers. | An invitation from Tarrytown to | participate in a sesqui-centennial celebration of Major Andre’s cap- ture September 25-27 caused sevén | members of the village board to| rise in protest. | | | “I don't see.” said Ray W. Thomp- son, “where there is any need for a celebration just because Andre unfortunately was captured in Tar- rytown. He was a gallant gentle- | man. I wouldn't attend any celebra- | tion commemorating that event Everyone always has been sorry for him.” Mr. Thompson's views were en- dorsed by William F. Horan, village attorney, who said: “No one is cele- brating the capture of Nathan Hale, who was guilty of the same thing. | I can see no reason for celebrating that tragic affair.” | Raymond Jackson, village treas- urer, aseerted he never knew any- | one wWho wasn't sorry for Major | Andre. “Every school child,” he| said, “feels that way.” i But Mayor Walter D. Crouch said Tuckahoe would accept the Tarry- town invitation. He explained that | ho believed “in exchanging the courtesies.” | Major Andre, acting for the Brit- ish in negotiations with Benedict | Arnold for the betraval of West Point, was captured by three Amer- ican militiamen near Tarrytown on September 23, 1780, and was hanged on the following October 2 at Tap- pan, N.
