"Since that statement was handed in to the vestry, the number of signers has risen 221. This fact alone invalidates the claimed returns of the' sircular letter.

The letter declared that Mr. Bromley "speaks only for himself.

They were handcuffed and placed in the ship's brig on order of the skipper, Capt. Francis Melntyre. Early this morning.

police said, Carmello tricked his guard into removing the handcuffs and permitting him to leave the brig for a moment. Once outside, the stowaway tripped the guard and dived overboard.
