Rumors were that the marriage would take place in Paris; at the Morrow summer homo at North Haven, at the Morrow home here. and that it would be much earlier than the June date tentatively set.

Unable To Call Aid, Wife Hours Beside Corpse of Husband Chicago, May 3 8 hours yesterday Mrs. Emily Hermanson, 58, suffered the agony.of a tragedy which was even greater than one several years ago which rendered her'a helpless invalid.

Early in the day Emily's devoted husband, Sven, carried her to her chair by the window, tucked blankets about her and sat down to keep her company. Suddenly Sven's face became distorted 'with pain. He pressed his hand against his heart. Emily, who barely can raise her voice above a whisper, called to him. He started a second seizure to answer but forced him to the floor near' the chair of his helpless mate.

His struggles became more and morp feeble and finally ceased. Then for 8 hours Emily waited. Her whispers never carried outside the room. A rent collector finally heard her sobs and found her there with her dead husband.

So powerful was the alleged liquor syndicate that public officials were cowed and respectable citizens coerced into recognizing its "right" to operate openly without interference. "Scarface" Capone, gangster chieftain, was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury and camc- from his winter home at Miami, to testify. Federal officials said that insufficient evidence to warrant indictment of Capone had been obtained. Huge Profits The syndicate was said to have furnished more than 3,000,000 gallons of contraband liquor, valued at $36,000,000, to the liquor trade since January 1925.
