Word has just been received in Brooklyn of the death. while in of Harold Vernon Tattersall. a lieutenant in the British Second Dragoon Guards, who was nearly all his life a resident of the Windsor Terrace section. Mr. Tattersall, who was the James Hargreaves Tattersall, noted as a cricketer and chess player, now of Halifax, Canada, was killed in France on February 10.

As yet Mr. Tattersall does not know of his son's death. Word of it came last night to friends of the family here in a dispatch from the British War Office, and it was made known by them today because of instructions which had been left by Mr. Tattersall that death notices should be inserted in the papers at once should bad news come from the other side. It is hoped to reach Mr.

Tattersall in Halifax tonight. The cablegram to him read: "Regret inform you 5164, Private H. V. Tattersall. Dragoon Guards, killed in action 10th February.

"WAR OFFICE." Harold Vernon Tattersall was very well known in Windsor Terrace. He was a member of the Prospect Park Baptist Church and of the Manhattan Cricket Club, which last year won the championship under the captaincy of his father. Born in Littleborough, Lancashire, England. September 27, 1891, he came to this country when but 10 years old, and had since made his home in Brooklyn. Nearly five years ago he was married to Marion Meade, but she went to her parents' home when he enlisted and friends here do not know where to locate her now.

When the European war broke out. Mr. Tattersall heard his country's call, and with the brave spirit his friends knew so well, went to England and enlisted in the Second Dragoon Guards, one of the crack British regiments. While the regiment was training to gO to the front. Mr.

Tattersall was brought to the notice. of his superiors by his all -around athletcic proficiency. He made the socker team of the regiment after playing in one match as a substitute: gained a place on the Rugby team, was anchor man on the tug-of-war team, won the horseback wrestling event and the boxing championship. He was also a member of the cricket club, and his father was made proud to hear that he had scored 63 net in one game and in another had broken all the wickets. 111 October the regiment was ordered to France and Mr.

Tattersall was offered a lieutenancy. Just where the regiment was stationed when he was killed is not known. The Brooklyn friends of the family believe that his father will seek to recover his body for burial in Littleborough. Mr. Tattersall had been for a number of years connected with a broker's office in Wall Street following his graduation from the Windsor Terrace Public School.

1911. MARGARET A. SCHMIDT. SCHMIDT- In loving memory of 'Spirits' Vamoose, Also Mediums, As Police Raid Leo's 'Church' The congregation of the Church of the Golden Rule didn't stop to discuss the latest spirit talk between the woman who sits in the end on the fifth row and her much deneat. ceased husband, yesterday afternoon.

It merely gathered unto itself its belongings and hurried right out. said Herman Leo, machinist -not of spirit land--to the police, "the spirits didn't take our congregation." There was a reason for the hurried exit of the congregation, as you may well have anticipated. And there wasn't a fire in the church. But the police arrived, they forgot to send in their visiting cards. The Church of the Golden Rule is at 403 Evergreen avenue.

It is a remarkable church. There are no choir boys. If the police information is true, the minister preaches from behind a table that moves, or a chair that looks like your first wife's fourth husband, and makes remarks accordingly. Yes, you are quite right. The police say it is a that spirit place and they are posttive the G.

R. is a rule of the never -never land, as Peter Pan might announce. That's why the audience left so hurtiredly up a yesterday. collection They to even keep forgot their to spirits in good health. You see, two officers from Manhattan, who can's be expected to be belivers in moving tables and articulating chairs, came over with a warrant for Mrs.

Herman Leo. They said she was a fortune teller. But their BROOKLYN MAN DIES IN SING SING CHAIR Walter Watson Executed in Prison for the Murder of His Wife. KILLED HER IN MARCH, 1915. Asks That Flower From Wife's Grave Be Buried With Him.

As far back as 1909 Watson figured in the police court news because of his abuse of his family. In July of that year he attacked a policeman, who entered the Watson home on hearing sounds of a disturbance.

The officer's uniform was cut to ribbons by Watson, who wielded a razor. The stabbing took place on March 22. 1915. The couple had been living apart. According to the son's testimony Watson came to the house.

Mrs. Watson ordered him out. He became enraged and attacked her. The son managed to overpower him, but not before the fatal wound had been inflicted. Mrs.

Robs Him of $37, but Doesn't Want to Rifle the Cash Register. While the Church avenue transfer point of the Brighton Beach was crowded with waiting passengers, the store of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company at 1819 Church avenue, just a shrot distance away, was entered last night and the manager felled with the butt of a revolver. The holdup man took $37 from the pockets of his victim, but did not wait to rifle the contents of the cash register, which amounted to over $50. Francis Farrell, 23 years old, of 2706 Beverley road, manager of the store, was preparing to close up when welldressed man entered. Instead of asking for a purchase, the man flashed a revolver.

"You go to the back of the store. Any monkey business and you're a dead man," threatened the thief. He put the revolver in a coat pocket and with menacing gestures followed Farrell to the rear of the store. Suddenly he pulled out his revolver and dealt Farrell a blow over the head which laid him unconscious. When, five mnutes later, a maid from a neighboring house came to buy some groceries, she discovered Farrell lying on the floor behind the counter.

She rushed to the store of Leo Grunwald, at 1815 Church avenue. They summoned Dr. Michael of the Kings County Hospital, who found that Farrell had sustained a fractured jaw. He was removed to the hospital. He declared his assailant as about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 175 pounds, blond, smooth shaven, wearing brown clothes.

Grunwald said that he had notnced the man standing for several minutes in front of the store, but did not pay more than passing attention to him then. He was positive that he would recognize he robber if he saw him again. Some ime holdup occurred in a shop in the same vicinity. The merchant had a roll of $400 in his hand when the robber entered, but pealing off $6 and throwing it to the burglar, escaped without further damage to the roll.

EMBRACES LAWYER MANTON. Will Be Tried Now for Carrying a Dangerous WeaponOut on Bail. James Deegan. acquitted by jury last night of the murder of Mrs. Grace A.

Wharry, will go to trial on the second indictment against him, which charges him with carrying a dangerous weapon. This was indicated when Deegan appeared before Justice Callaghan in the Supreme Court today. The former Finance Department clerk looked fresh and spry, after his first night of liberty in six months. He was released on his own recognizance, following the verdict last night, and today a bond of $500 was forthcoming to insure his presence when he is tried on the second charge. He was represented in court by his, counsel, Martin T.

Manton, and the State by Assistant District Attorney Everett Caldwell. The proceedings were brief and the acquitted man left the court quickly as soon as the matter was adjusted. The acquittal of Deegan was one of the most complete surprises the Supreme Court has known for some time. Speculation was rife when the jury went out, at 4:12 o'clock last night, as to what the finding would be. Many of those who had watched the trial were sure that a verdict of first -degree murder would be returned.

A few thought it would be a conviction for manslaughter. The possibility of complete exoneration of charge of killing Mrs. Wharry was considered by none. The courtroom was well filled when the twelve men returned and informed Justice Callaghan, in Part VII, Supreme Court, that' they had decided on a verdict. Deegan trembled and paled in the moment that elapsed between this announcement and Court's the usual reply of the interrogation.

foreman At to the words "Not guilty" he half rose, gasped and collapsed. Five seconds later, tears rolling from his eyes, he embraced Martin T. Manton, his attorney. The acquitted man then shook hands with many of the jurors. The crowd in the courtroom was taken aback by the verdict, and for a moments there was not a sound.

Then a rumble of surprises ran around. which became 80 loud that the Court had to rap for order. Mr. Manton consulted with the Court on further action, and Justice Callahan released Deegan on his own recognizance. When the court adjourned, a score of friends rallied around Deegan, licitating patting him him on on his acquittal." and fe- BAZAR IS A SUCCESS.
