Marie® Bessarabo Gets 20 Years When Girl Tells of Trunk Murder. BREAKS LONG ‘SILENCE. Pauline Describes Murder as Case Goes to the Jury— Mother Breaks Down. PARIS, June 21 (Associated Press) —Madame Marie Bessarabo, poetess and playwright, was found gullty to- day of the premeditated murder of her husband, Georges, whose body was found concealed in a trunk at Nancy, two years ago. The court found there were extenuating circum- stances and sentenced Mme. Bessar- abo to twenty years at hard labor. Her daughter by her first husband, who also was on trial, wag found not guilty. Just before the case was given to the jury to-day the daughter broke her long silence, accusing her mother of committing the deed two years ago in their Paris apartment. She sald the body was packed in a trunk and checked to Nancy. M. Moro-Giafferl, attorney for the defense, who had urged the daughter to tell the truth, then turned to the mother, saying: “Confess or I leave the court- room."* The daughter, Pauline, told the court she wanted to call the police, but the mother persuaded her to drag out Bessarabo's own trunk, into which the two women—the mother with her right arm useless from disease— jammed the body. They then carried {t downstairs, took It from one station to another and finally shipped it to Nancy. Both mother and daughter after their urrest in 1920 made a series of confessions, but repudiated them. Early in the trial Pauline sald there was a secret, but her mother would not let her tell it. To-day’s last houf’s story confirmed the first story the women told. Mme. Bessarabo, who as @ novelist is known as Hera Mirtel, maintained the coolest self-possession (hroughout the trial, but when she was accused in open court by her daughter she rose and, livid with unger, began a confused statement attempting to show that the body in the .runk was not that of her band, Finally, her story became so wandering that M. Moro-Giaffer! had the court ad- journed to continue efforts to secure a confession, The principal motive of the murder, it developed at the trial, was the effort of Mme. Ressarabo to obtain a commission of 600,000 francs due to the husband for oil concessions in Mexico, where they lived prior to 1914. The first husband of Mme. Bessa- rabo, Paul Jacques, to whom she was married in Mexico, committed suicide in Paris under strange cir- cumstances {[n 1914 JEWS OF 4 TOWNS REPORTED SLAIN From Finland Tells of Widespread Pogroms in Ukraine.

HAS REACHED ON IH ELECTIONS Pro-Treatyites Capture 54 Seats, Antis 33, Labor 14, Farmers 5, Independents 10 BIG CHIEFS ARE BEATEN All but One Woman in Old Dail Defeated—Free Staters Lose Only 1 or 2 Places. DUBLIN, June 21 (Associated Press).—The approximate represen- tation of the various parties in the Parliament chosen at last Friday's election, as shown by returns up to this afternoon, ts as follows: Coalition Treaty, 54. Coalition Republican, 33. Labor, 14. Farmers, 5. Independents, 10. Of the forty-two Republican candi- dates where there were contests in Friday's Parliamentary elections, fifteen have already been declared de- feated. Final returns will, judging by figures now available, show further defeats of treaty opponents. One distinguished survivor prob- ably will be Cathal Brugha (Charles Burgess), chief of Eamon De Valera's lieutenants, who, although not yet elected in Waterford, can only be de- feated by an unprecedented overturn in the count. It developed to-day that Com- mandant Dan Breen, joint panel can- aidate, previously announced as elect- ed for Waterford-Tipperary, East, had been defeated as a result of the final count. Results announced this morning show the removal of many of the best known personalities in the Dail Ei- reann, Of the six women members, all anti-treaty, only Mary MacSwiney survived in the contests and Mrs. Kate O'Callaghan was returned un- opposed. Mrs. Pearse, whose two sons were executed for their part in the Easter week rebellion, was defeated in Coun- ty Dublin. Sean Etchingham, a fre- quent speaker in the treaty debates in the Dail, was defeated in Wexford, and Seamus Robinson, one of the leaders cf th. army dissent::nts, lost out in Waterford. Most conspicuous among the defeats was that of Erskine Childers in Kil dare. He received only 572 votes, fewer than any other candidate in the whole elections. His pro-treaty col- league was given more than 9,000 first preferences. The possible effect of the disappearance of s6 many leading Re publicans from the Dail is being widely discussed. It was announced this morning that in Galway the pro-treaty candidates on the Sinn Fein panel, P. J. Hogan, 0. O'Maille, Prof. Whelehan and George Nicholls, were elected.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. ¥., June 21.—Runaway flapper marriages are marked for death by representative: of 2,000,000 American women assem- bled here at the convention of the Federation of Women’s Cjubs. Launching a drive for reform of di- Yorce and marriage laws, the conven- tion leaders advocate: 1, Repeal of all State marriage and divorce statutes. 2. Passage of a Federal law general in its application. This movement was started after futile efforts to induce various States to pass uniform Jaws were made. Mrs. Genevieve Parkhurst, writer on women's subjects, {s here repre- senting supporters of the movement, which has the backing of some of the Nation's most representative leaders. She conferred with Mrs. Thomas Winter, Minneapolis, President of the federation, before the convention for- mally opened. The proposed law, which will be presented to Congress for action, con- tains the following provisions: No girl under eighteen or boy under twenty-one can marry without the consént of their parents or guardian. Bans announcing the intended mar- tlage must be published two weeks before the ceremony. Physicians’ certificates as to the mental and physical fitness of both parties to the marriage must be shown when the license is issued. Divorces are to be allowed for phystcal or mental cruelty, desertion for a period of one year or more, proved infidelity and habitual drunk- enness. Only interlocutory decrees, made final after the lapse of one year, are to be granted. Marriage before the lapse of a year would be illegal. Divorce cases would be heard be- hind closed doors and the testimony never made public. The mother would always be given the custody of the children unless proved unfit to take care of them. “No two States have the same marriage ‘and divorce laws,” said Mrs. Parkhurst. “Some States do not even forbid the marriage of de- fictents. People who are married in one State are not legally united In another. The proportion of divorces s greater in America than any nation in the world.” Various departments of the foder- ation, such as Americanization, com- munity service, child welfare and education, met’ this morning.

Police heroism that will not win a department medal but may save a detective’s life through a blood trans- fusion operation was revealed to-day at the Presbyterian Hospital, where the operation took place yesterday. Detective William J. Veale, of the East 104th Street Station, was the patient whose life hung in the bal- ance. Patrolman Martin F. Roth- amel, of the East 67th Street Station, was the brother policeman who sup- plied the life-saving fluid. Rothamel is the father of ht chidren, six of them girls, He is thirty-nine, but looks ten years younger. His home is at No, 342 East 19th Street. Veale, forty-two, lives at No, 810 Fast 934 Street. He was taken !I! ten days ago. Following an operation phy- sicilans decided blood transfusion was necessary. Capt. John Duane, East 67th Street Station, was asked if any of the men there| would sacrifice some blood to save the dying detective. Four volunteers immediately re- sponded. Rothamel was chosen as having blood best suited for the operstion, Dr, Allen O, Whipple bound their arms together and they remaines bound together one hour and « half while the transfusion was made. The operation, Dr. Whipple believes, war “highly successful.’ Rothamel was back on duty morning. ‘Oh, shucks,'’ he ex- claimed, “that wasn't anything, If 1 hadn't done it one of the other fel- lows would." Veale was suid ut the hospital to be doing well. ee EDISON QUESTIONS STOLEN, SAYS WIFE; ASSAILSNEWSPAPERS She Also Condemns Movies at Convention of Wom- en’s Clubs.

FATHER KILLS MAN FOUND ATTACKING T-YEAR-OLD GIRL Slays Former Janitor With Axe in Cellar of Brooklyn Tenement. Investigating muffled screams in the cellar of the tenement at No, 188 Sackett Street, Brooklyn, to-day Sa- bino Svordano, thirty-five years old, living at that address with his family, found his seven-years-old daughter, Lillian, struggling with Jeremiah Meighen, sixty-two years old, of No. 2005 Ocean Avenue, Svordano picked up an axe and in his rage literally chopped Melghen to pieces. Satisfied that his victim was dead, Svordano went to his apartment, washed his hands and then walked to the Hamilton Avenue Police Station, where he surrendered himself. Police- men went to the Sackett Street house and found Meighen's body. Aaliy from Svordano and his daugh*er, no one in the building knew of the kill- ing untt! the police arrived. Melghen, up to a few months ago, was janitor of the Sackett Street house, He was discharged and went to live with @ relative, but was often around his old post and was occasion- ally employed by tenants to Go odd jobs. He was working for Svordano to-day when he enticed the child to the cellar, she says. The father coon minsed her and was searching when he heard sounds of the struggle.

None of them, so far as known, were persons who were on friendly terms with Ward's wife and relatives or who would have been ad- mitted to the social circles in which he moved in New Rochelle and Brooklyn, ‘Their visits and the evt- dences of their conduct In the apart- ment were of a nature to be Used as the basis of blackmail threats, the District Attorney has been informed by, the superintendent of the building, Fred Olsen, his wife, who acted as honsemaid for the apartment, and by the elevator boys. RACE TRACK THEORY B ABANDONED. Investigators for the District Attor- ney have recommended that he ignore from now on any effort to make tt appear that race track blackmatlers ING ever molested Ward and concentrate the his efforts on theory that any blackmel! te w he was subjected was based on threats to tell of his acquaintances with women of whom his family knew nothing—no matter how innocent those acquaintances might have been It has been also that Clarence from the Murine Barracks at Port Royal, 8. reached the 32d Street and Market Street Station in Philadel- phia at 12.20 P. M. May 15, and it is impossible that Walter Ward had a meeting with Peters to discuss black- mall May 14th as Ralph Ward has ified he was told by his father, George S. Ward. The numbered ticket furnished to Peters by the Marine Corps has been recovered, and stamps on its back and the punch marks of the conductor who took it up make this information indisputable. The Introduction of new stories about the vacation diversions of Wal- ter Ward did not prevent his ut- torneys from taking action to vacate the murder indictment. They ob- tained an order from Justice Seeger in Special Term directing District Attorney We to show cause to- morrow why Ward should not have an early trial and why the minutes of the Grand Jury should not be fur- nished to the defendant The application for the order was accompanied by direct charges of malice and bias against the foreman of the Grand Jury, Auckland B.
