rY THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1922, an Of Clarence Peters between the time inquiry into the movements the discovery of bis previous bad record in the Navy caused the rejec of his application for enlistment the Marine Corps at Paris Island oks in South Carolina and the time his body was found beside a lonely road near the north end of sico Reservoir in Westchester jovernment records show thut ters was rejected May 12, He wus delayed in teaving Paris Island. Henry BSehneiderman of No, 1110 Simpsun Street, the Bonx, who had been ac cepted as a recruit and who was al lowed “to resig. out," left Paris 1 Jand May 11. He was In @ group, he said to-day, with Peters and two other men who were being sent away FY Paris Island, The others were nry Stuple of No, 226 Washington Street, Jersey City, and Stewart Keut- ing, a West Hoboken boy. Behneiderman received $80 from get here to pay «is expenses He went from Paris Island to Port Royal, S. C., and took slow trains, transferring at Yamassee and Washington, and reached this city May 14. To Peters the authorities gave the opportunity of doing common laborer's work on the reservation to earn his fare home. This made it necessary for him to stay over a day or two. ers, who knew he was to be reject- said he mean’t to do only enough work to get to Philadelphia—that he cobld “bum his way to New York on am automobile or something’ after Teaching Philadelphia. VOLUNTARILY CALLED WARD'S LAWYER. “Behneiderman said that when he read of the Ward case he voluntarily called on Rabenold & Scribner, ai torneys for Walter S. Ward, told them what he knew of Peters, None of it was to the credit of Peters. “Mr. Rabenold was the one who tulked to me,” Schneiderman said “le didn't ask me a single question. ‘He just Jet me talk and started me oft again when I stopped. When I was through all he said was that he guessed Peters had gone to Savannah, ffom what he had learned, and had taken a through express to New York and reached here almost as soon as I dia.” ON “Asked if Mr, Rabenold told him why he thought Peters reached here May 14 or why he was clinging to assumption that Peters did not rive here a very short time before he was shot, Schneiderman replied: “He didn't say a word.’ Wehneiderman described Peters re- \peatedly as a “grouchy, dirty bum.” He eaid Peters had no regard for personal cleanliness, was consistently gloomy and bitter, but burst out In boastful tirades when plagued by his companions. When the other youths envied Schneiderman on his $80 re- mittance Peters said, according to Schneiderman: “Aw, what's $80 Ieean get all the money from big friends I've got up North, I don’t have to beg from my relations.” Peters, according to Schneiderman, said he wanted to get into the Marine Corps so he could live in the tropics and ‘get out of the damned country * far good." Schniederman said he was going to the office of Lawyer Shalleck ta the Knickerbocker Building to thank ‘Mr. Shalleck for making the arrange- ments for his release fro mthe Marine Corps. When an Evening World re- porter told him Lawyer Shalleck was nasociated closely with Willlam J. Fallon, the lawyer who has been bugied with the ‘‘interests of the Peters family’’ for the past week. Schneiderman expressed surprise. OFFERS TO HELP LAWYERS FOR PETERS FAMILY. “If that's so," he said, “‘I'll go to see Fallon too, ‘Mr. Shalleck did me @ good turn and if McFallon js & friend of his I'll do anything I can to help them both," Through an investigation in South Carolina, a peculiar discrepancy is found between the statement of Behneiderman, who apparently was ther frank in his manner of giving information and the memory of the marine sergeant who Is sta- tioned at Yamassee ag Marine Trans- portation Officer to handle Marines and recruits coming to the junction of, the main line from Port Royal branch. ‘The rgeant remembers a detach- of four, of which Peters was ber and almost certainly, neidéxman as well, They reached aeeps in time to take the 2.45 train North which would get them te jelphia at a little after noon the day, May 15. Peters he remem- as having a transportation order entitling him to a ticket to Philadel- phia only and §2 ration money. The sergeant remembers Peters as “a slouchy bird.'’ One of the party, the sé¥geant remembered—and It was not the one he thought was Schneider- miin— was more friendly with Peters than the others and had considerable yoney in his pockets. The sergeant WJ no occasion to search any of the men and therefore did not re whether Peters had a revolver which he might have bought or stolen from somebody on the island who couldn't make a fuss over it because the Weapon was unauthorized, County Detective John Kelly and Assistant District Atiorney Walter Ferris left the District Attorney's of- fice in White Plains in an automobile at 10 o'clock this morning after tele- phoning to their homes that they would not be home before late to- night, if then, Other investigators for District At- Jorney Weeks came to New York and ®eattered through the Times Square ote! district.

Lseaeet ly WON'T DROP SUITS, ATTORNEY GENERAL TELLS UNTERMYER Fact He Disagrees With Court on Sentences Not Enough Reason. ALBANY, June 1.—Because sen- tences imposed by the court do not meet views of the prosecuting officer is no reason why prosecutions of anti-trust law violators should be dropped, Attorney General Newton wrote Samuel Untermyer, counsel to the Lockwood committee, to-dey. Untermyer had suggested to the At- torney General that further prosecu- tions be dropped because of the sen- tence imposed on John Hettrick in New York last Saturday. The letter was generally construed here as a reproof of Untermyer’s at- ttude and read in part: “T have been brought up in a little the should ti port of allowed A Cops When ways ol known or the papa's t all my life that when a prosecuting officer succeeded in getting a convic- tion in any criminal case that he had pertormed his full duty, except upon request from the court for informa- tion In each particular case as to the fucts and circumstances surrounding the past life of any given defendant, and that he should iake no part in imposing his views upon the court as to the extent of the punishment; that being a matter for the consctence of the court alone. “It is my judgment that we owe a duty to the great mass of people who suffer directly and indirectly from the itegal acts of these various defen- dants and that the fact that we may be disappointed in the sentence im- posed in individual cases would not justify a conclusion on our part that our duty had been fully performed." > BARRON, WANTED HERE, ARRESTED IN CANADA John Street; Street; Hutton No. 106 No, 61 Bauer, married $47,00. did it, May He Deported and Se Boundary Line.
