The police were moat guarded as to the ldentity of the Person upon whom thelr suspictons have fallen. Benjamin Prenderville, a roomer in Mrs, McCarthy's apartment, who has & pollee-record extending back elght Years, was arraigned to-day before Magistrate Gelsmar in Bridge Plaza Court, charged with the murder in an affidavit made by Detective Thomas Devery. Prenderville held with- out bail for examination Jan. It was Prenderville who discovered the body of the child when he came home from work in the Brooklyn Post Office on the evening of Dec. 2 he Nad been shot with a 22-calibre revol- ver. When first questioned Prender- ville denied that he ever owned a re- volver and also that there had ever been such a weapon in the McCarthy home; Later, however, he admitted that a 22-calibro revolver heen discovered in his bed. This pistol, hi said, belonged to him and had been under his pillow when ho left the house that morning. Also he said that he had three pis- tols, which he had shown to visitors at the McCarthy home on Christmas night. Aware of his police record, he sald, he took the three weapons and threw them in a loot at Orient Avenue and Olive Street. A search of the lot, continued to failed to disclose any of the weapons.

One morning my husband, Mr, Judd and myself, with our bearers, were advancing on mule-back, ahead of the por- ters, Mr, Judd’s gun-bearer was ten feet in front of the rest of us, Suddenly he turned and whisp- ered ‘Simba!’ (lion). “We slipped from our mules and took the best cover we could in the tall grass—-I was half dead with excitement. We waited a minute or two, and then we saw the lion—a male with @ heavy mane. But he was too far off, and he stood on the edge of thorn bush into which it would not have paid to follow him. So we had our first look at ‘simba,’ and that was all. “We kept on through the grass country and finally made our camp on the opposite side of a river, which we crossed.
