mt Li- The UDoer nhotograoh shows RAIN FALLS GENTLY ON FIRST LITTLE GRAVES Dynamiter Put in Grave by Paid Laborers Without Church Service. BY FRANK O. MORRIS, Free Frees Staff Correspondent. Bath, May 20. As this Btricken Tillage completed the first day of burying Its dead, the police Investigation of the consolidated school massacre ended tonight with Andrew Kehoe "convicted" alone as the mad murderer of Bath.

The authorities held counsel hers after following futlly new evidence which earlier In the day they believed might lead to an accomplice of the demented dyhamlter. But the evidence led nowhere. And they placed the red brand of guilt on Kehoe alone, the man who took his revenge on society by killing 17 children and seven adults. Heavens Weep. Tonight rain fell gently on nine small mounds of fresh earth as if the very heavens wept In sympathy.

There will be more new graves tomorrow and Sunday funeral services for the last of the erased farmer's victims will be held. Three of the funerals were held In the two little churches on the one main atreet. As the hearses jolted down the rutted thoroughfare, followed by hundreds of the grlef-etrlcken citizens of the community, awed strangers with bared heads crowded the sidewalks, held back by police lines. Bath cried out aloud In Its agony. The hysteria of Wednesday when the dead and dying children were taken from the school ruins later changed to numbed grief and the village clasped Its dead to its breast.

But today some of the dead were taken away and the tense nerves gave way. Heartbroken, weary criee to God himself Interrupted the services. The Red Cross headquarters was tilled with hot house flowers from several states. But the tiny coffins were banked with the simple now era of the community, gathered by the children who escaped. Kehoe Ala Burled.

The children strewed the home of Roy Witchell. where a double funeral was held for two girls who were cousins. They brought their tokens of sympathy In a body to the home of. the Rev. Scott Maclion-ald, who held a service, for his only daughter.

In marked contrast was the burial of what remained of the shattered body of Kehoe. He was lowered to his grave in St. Johns, unrecognised by church service. There were no-mourners. A relative had purchased a casket, but did not attend.

An undertaker stood alone above the hole as grave diggers piled In the earth. Mrs. Kehoe, who Is believed to have been murdered by her husband before he blew up his home and barns, was buried in Lansing. Early today the sun shone In the glory of spring, but Bath was dark and gloomy. Hundreds of visitors, led hero by curiosity, thronged the village, hut the villagers were alone.

They paid little heed to the countrywide sympathy. They were but slightly interested In Senator James Couzens' offer to rebuild the school and render other financial assistance. There are childless homes that were not always so. What good Is a school If there are no children, they asked. School Treasury Empty.

But the school board, which met tonight for the first time since the disaster took note of Senator Couz-ens' offer and decided to await word from him before accepting his help. The board appointed Eamos Peacock to replace Kehoe as treasurer. The members found the treasury empty and decided to borrow from a bank to meet the monthly payroll and other expenses. Gifts of money poured In to John W. Haarer, chairman of the governor's relief committee, and tonight the fund had passed the 1,600 mark.

A gift of $500 was announced from the Lalngaburg Union bank and 1200 was received from tha Inmates of Ionia reformatory. State police learned today from the Interstate commerce commission that at least a part of the large quantity of dynamite used by the crazed farmer, was sent to a county agent at Jackson to be distributed to farmers.

JAMES M. DORAN. SHARKEY PUTS MALONEY OUT Lithuanian Right Ends Cham pionship Hopes of Boston-ian in Fifth. BY GRANTLAND RICE, New York, May 20 Fighting with the fury of a raving cave man, Jack Sharkey, the savage Lithuanian, knocked out Jimmy Maloney, the Boston heavyweight. In the first minute of the fifth round while 50,000 howling fight fans looked on In amazement at the driving power of Sharkey's slashing right hand.

The beginning of the end came at the finish of the fourth round when Sharkey first staggered Maloney with a left and then planted a swift right on the point of Maloney's chin. Down went Maloney with a crash as his broad shoulders hit the ring, and, while he bounded up as the bell rang, he was a badly staggered fighter, all In and groggy; merely waiting the knockout to follow a moment later. Sharkey came Into the ring scowling. He drove for Maloney at the start with a scowl and there was an even deeper scowl on his face a he rushed Maloney at the start of the fifth round and hammered him to the floor. After the first knockdown In the fifth, Maloney again hounded to his feet, but a second later Sharkey, first feinting with his left, once more nailed Maloney's chin with a right swing and this time the Boston Irishman fell to rise no more.

He made a valiant effort to regain his feet, rolled ove and tried again at the count of nine but he was still half crouched and reeling In Sharke's direction when Keforee Magnolia stopped the massacre by waving Sharkey to his corner. Sharkey Revelation. Sharkey gave one of the most brilliant exhibitions of all-around fighting ever seen In any ring. He had the speed and willowy side-step of a lightweight, the accuracy of an army sniper and at the finish he suddenly unleashed his right flst and brought back memories of the Dempsey that used to be. Geno Tunney, the heavyweight champion, sat near the ringside and saw the challenger he Is almost certain to meet, a savage, slashing opponent, who Is out to kill with either hand.

The 60,000 spectators who sat beneath a murky May eky and who had come to what was looked upon as a good boxing match saw one of the most relentless duels of the last decade. Here was a battle for blood to the final punch. It Was a marvelous exhibition of speed and boxing skill for two heavyweights who carried together four hundred pounds Into the ring and for the first four rounds before the first knockdown there was enough drama and action to last a dozen heavyweight affairs. Jim Couldn't Reach. Maloney, his short arms working like piston rods, made at least four tremendous efforts to send his snarling rival Into dreamland with one punch, but he could never reach his shifting.

weaving, ducking target squarely enough to hurt. Maloney had no defense i to offer against a snake-like left that began to reach his features at every lead. All through the first three rounds Sharkey, whirling in and out like a dancing dervish, sniped Maloney's badly cut countenance with his accurate left. Here ard there he gave radiance of a waiting- right, but the crafty Sharkey was saving this hidden man killer for the big moment. At the end of the first round he had Maloney's left eye badly rut and as Tommy Ryan once remarked when you get a left eye out of focus you have the war Just about won.

Maloney had a gash over his eye deeper and broader than a duffer ever made upon a golf ball. It must have been cut nearly to the bone But Sharkey had few right hand's to lead. It was left-left-left-pump-pump-pump, as Maloney's broad features turned a deeper and Continued Pag Edith Kelly Gould To Wed Londoner London. May (A. P.

Benton Harbor, May 20. Resentment of "Queen" Mary at "King" Benjamin's interest in the girls who crowded his Shiloh headquarters, which eventually led to a break between the two Davidlte leaders and a companionship between Mary and another Israelite, Frances Thorpe, was shown In the circuif court here today. Dolly Smith Wheeler, an ex-Shiloh favorite, who startled the crowd with her testimony yesterday to an extent that Judge Louis H. Fead today ordered any one under 21 barred, was on the stand when the session was resumed. Hhe continued there nearly all day under both direct and cross examination.

Mary Demands Admittance. She amplified her story of Benjamin's so-called harem, his petting of the girls who customarily were around him, and his visits with them privately, giving many details. One day the witness said she visited Benjamin's room to ask about a song she iwas to sing and had to stay there. While they were together, Dolly continued, Mary knocked on the locked door and demanded admittance. "Benjamin hurriedly dressed, grabbed the copy of the song that I had brought with me and opened the door.

"Mary gave me a nasty look, but said nothing to me. She asked Benjamin about some colony business, and after he had explained about the song, went out Carefal In Wife's Presence. "Later, he whispered to ma 'that was a close Benjamin was always careful to keep knowledge of his "affairs" from Mary, Dolly said, and explained that she was cautioned never to tell the cult leader's consort anything about them. When Mary came Into the parlor of an evening, when the girls In Shiloh were clustered about "the Seventh Messenger, who could do no wrong." Dolly said that Benjamin desisted In his petting of them, except possibly a pinching of their cheeks. But Mary knew and resented the harem capers as the stats is prepared to show later In ths trial In augmentation of Dolly's description of tha "Queen's" menacing frown at her.

Benjamin's own story of Mary's disapproval of Shiloh doings. It is understood, is In the state's hands. In that story. It Is understood, Benjamin's "break" with Mary, the quarrel that created a companionship between Mary and Thorpe which Benjamin in turn condemned, grew out of his "cute" characterizations of the girls. Dolly's testimony today also was further enlightening upon the "school for lying," that George E.

Nichols, chief state counsel, in his opening address to court said he would show existed In the Davidite colony, which ths present litigation is designed to disband on the grounds that it constitutes a nuisance of Immorality and fraud.
