FRIDAY, JANUARY 12. 1940. THE SEATTLE STAR Ain-0600 PAGE 3 SEATTLE CARAVAN OFF FOR MRS. LAW FUNERAL To participate in one of the biggest labor demonstrations ever held in southwest Washington, members of Congress of Industrial Organizations in Seattle assembled early this morning in the South End of the city and left in a motor caravan for Aberdeen, where the funeral of Mrs. Dick Law, murdered wife of a union official, will be held at 2 p.

m. From various parts of the state, other caravans are converging on the lumber city, hotbed of labor strife. Public tribute to Mrs. Law will be paid at 3 oclock in the Fern Hill cemetery, one hour following private services in the Whiteside Funeral home, which will be attended by relatives and only about 100 friends. Meanwhile, investigation of the murder is continuing, with charges and countercharges being made about its conduct.

late yesterday had been discovered. In making his announcement, Dean said that it is "physical evidence and metal." He expressed granted him temporary leave ot absence. Caughlan gave the following reasons for asking the leave: Peter Salm Gloria Vanderbilt Wife to Stand By Ex-Convict I wont desert him! He needs me more than ever now! A heartbroken young wife promised today she would stand by the ex-convict husband who concealed his past thru 18 months of blissful wedded life.

Brenda, the 18-year-old girl who made history in New York cafe society, will spend more than any of the other juvenile heirs and heiresses who arc waiting for maturity to come into outright possession of the millions left in their names.

Her 1910 budget on file in New York surrogates court calls for $52,000 $1000 a week, $113 a day, $5.95 for every hour of the year. It will be paid from the $135,000 income of Brendas 3,500,000 inheritances. Brendas expenditures will be double those of Gloria Vanderbilt, 5,000,000 heiress, who will turn 16 in February. Gloria is currently working on an annual budget of $25,750, but she may get a raise on her birthday. Now a boarding school student in Connecticut, she has outgrown the custody battle between her mother, widow of the late Reginald C.

Vanderbilt, and her aunt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Altho about a year younger than Gloria, Lucy Cotton Thomas, another New York deb of the future, spends more. Her 1939 budget teas $36,000, about $692 a week. Daughter of the late Edward Russell Thomas, millionaire sportsman and publisher, she will come into an estate of about $2,000,000.

Two youthful male heirs live more cheaply. Peter Salm, grandson of the late Col. H. H. Rogers, oil tycoon, and son of Mrs.

Millicent Rogers, lived on $12,000 a year which comes to some $33 a day at the last accounting. Sixteen this year, he has spent much time in Europe. His mother is Millicent Rogers Balcom, the former Countess Salm von Hoogstraten. He ultimately will receive more than $5,000,000 from the Rogers estate. Exact accounts on Christopher Smith Reynolds, son of Libby Holman and the late Zachary Smith Reynolds, have not been announced, but it is a reasonable estimate that he gets along on about, the same as young Salm, around 1000 a month.

He will receive a little less than $7 ,000,000 as one-fourth of his fathers estate. The boy was born in February, 1933, after the death of his father from a bullet wound at his North Carolina home. prison at Walla Walla and turned the pages. He pointed to a picture of a man with a number across his chest, S. P.

No. 15295. That is your husband, maam, the detective said. Mrs. Duffy collapsed, hysterical, on the floor.

The picture showed Larry Duffy with records from Portland, Idaho, McNeil Island and Walla -Walla. Treated for shock at city hospital, the distraught woman talked wildly of divorce and separation from the man who had wooed and won her four months after he served a four-year sentence for auto theft at the Washington prison. But today she has changed her mind. "What is past is past, she said. I can't change it and must accept it as it is.

Larry was so good to me. We were so happy together. No matter what he has done I can't let him down at a time like this. All I ask is a fair chance from the world. I can't desert him now.

I promised when I married him, In sickness or in health, for better or for worse. I must keep my vows. RANDOLPH SMITH. bride of Larry Duffy, prepared today to take up her life again and become reconciled to the fact that the husband who had been so kind and tender to her was a "threetime loser and almost certainly faced a fourth prison sentence. Bitter tragedy struck the young wife yesterday when she learned for the first time of her husbands record.

Duffy, who lived at 1214 avenue, was arrested Wednesday while passing a forged check in a downtown store. Later, he confessed to Det. Lieut. Frank H. Borneman he had passed two other worthless checks without his wife's knowledge.

The shock that struck Mrs. Duffy to the floor came when she tried to comfort her husband yesterday in Bornemans office. Dont worry too much, dear, she told him softly. "We can start all over again. Every man is entitled to one chance.

Vour husband has had his chance, Borneman told her. Your husband has a prison record. I don't believe it, gasped Mrs. Duffy, going white. "That isnt so.

Borneman produced the mug book of the Washington state Prospects for further expansion of the Townsend movement in Seattle and vicinity are very bright as the new year gets under way, in the opinion of Thomas Laite, who has just arrived to establish headquarters here as na-t i a 1 representative in Washington for the Townsend National Recovery Plan, Inc.

E. Hanning of Bellingham will preside at the Sunday meeting. First, I have some first-hand knowledge of matters closely connected with the investigation of the Law murder. This being the case, I feel that I should be in Aberdeen during the conduct of the investigation. Second, since my parents family and I first moved to Aberdeen, some nine years ago, when my father became the minister of the First Methodist church, we have had a close personal relationship with Mra.

Laura Louma Law and her family thru the church. I want to be of any aid to the family that I posgibly can. Rev. Caughlan, now pastor of the First Methodist church in Lewiston, will preach the funeral sermon. He performed the marriage service for the Laws in March, 1935.

They are dissatisfied over the alleged lack of interest by police in blood-stained clothing reported to have been sent to a cleaning establishment. It is said the establishment reported Monday the condition of an overcoat and a suit.

After only cursory examination, police gave permission to clean the clothing, it is said. Beyond his announcement yesterday that he was directing state authorities to inves-. tigate charges and countercharges and threats in Aberdeen and that law and order will prevail in Grays Harbor county, Governor Martin has taken no action yet in regard to the demand that the state take over the case, according to Olympia reports. He was expected to examine the transcript of the conversation be-tween labor leaders and Assistant Attorney General George G. Hannan on Wednesday, when a demand was made upon the state.

Prosecutors Leo Stewart and Patrick Tammany were to attempt today to introduce a purported confession made to police by George F. Barton during the trial of the youth on a robbery charge. Barton is accused of robbing Henry Dorsten, Rainier Valley service station operator. Dorsten was fatally slugged during a robbery in 1938. Yesterdays session was devoted mostly to testimony by Detective Lieutenants Roy Mahoney and R.

McCarthy who identified the alleged confession as being taken from Barton. In turn they were subjected to a grueling cross-examination by Hugh Miracle and Carl Luckerath, defense attorneys, in an attempt to show their client was brutally treated prior to mak ing the asserted statements. This the detectives denied. Traffic fatalities in rural districts decreased only 1 per cent in the first seven months of 1939 as compared with a 7 per cent decrease in urban communities.
