POLICE ACCUSE WOMAN AFTER LONG GRILLING
Son, 9, Kept Diary Which Hints of Secrets Shared With Mother
Mrs. Mamie DILLER, 34, wife of the murdered Herman DILLER, was arrested today 
at the order of Assistant District Attorney Anthony DI GIOVANNI, and charged 
with homicide. The widow, whose husband was found beaten to death with a 
hammer yesterday in their apartment at 580 Empire Boulevard, had been grilled 
by detectives for twenty-four hours, but steadfastly maintained her innocence 
of the murder. However, Mr. DI GIOVANNI said this afternoon: "We have enough 
on Mrs. DILLER to have a charge of murder placed against her." Mrs. DILLER 
was ordered arrested at 3:30 P.M. She was fingerprinted, photographed and 
place din a cell in Empire Boulevard station. She will be given a hearing in 
Homicide Court on Snyder avenue tomorrow morning. Hanna GERSHON, 
self-confessed sweetheart of DILLER, was released by police at 4 P.M. She, it 
was told police that DILLER lived in fear of his wife, that he planned a 
divorce and that she and DILLER were going to California after the divorce.
Police believe that Mrs. DILLER killed her husband, Herman DILLER, 35, 
wealthy druggist, in a fit of jealousy, although they learned this afternoon 
tat the nine year old son, Martin, may be able to tell the reason for his 
father's death. Police today revealed they had found Martin's "diary" - a 
single page of paper apparently torn from a notebook - and that notations on 
this paper indicate the child may know why his father was killed.
The boy's mother, Mrs. Mamie DILLER, 34,dark and plump, is still being 
questioned at the Empire boulevard station. Exhausted by the police, the 
woman became physically sick and semi-hysterical shortly before noon today.
The police also are questioning Miss Hanna BERSHON, 32, of 209 Hawthorne 
street, secretary to a Maiden Lane jeweler and self admitted sweetheart of 
the murdered man, and Miss Mary FREELY, 20, of 1201 Union street, until 
recently a maid in the DILLER home.
Shortly before noon today Assistant District Attorney Anthony DI GIOVANNI and 
Detective Capt. John MCCLUSKY visited the DILLER apartment and there found, 
in addition to Martin's note, which was entitled "The Life of Martin DILLER" 
a hammer handle and a claw-hammer. Both instruments, DI GIOVANNI said, showed 
traces of blood, but appeared to have been washed in an attempt to remove the 
stains. They were sent to the office of the City toxicologist at Bellevue 
Hospital for examination.
Police admitted they knew the hammer and the handle were in the apartment, 
but said they did not think they had been used in the murder as the wounds on 
DILLER'S head indicated a hatchet had been used. Now it is believed the 
hammer was used, the blows being struck with the claw part of the instrument.
Motives for the crime definitely settled to jealousy today when it was 
learned that DILLER had been away from home both Saturday and Sunday night 
and that Mrs. DILLER was upset over this, because she thought the neighbors 
knew of his absence.  JEWELRY NOT TOUCHED
The motive of robbery was discarded with the discovery of the quantity of 
jewelry and $60 in cash in the apartment.
TEXT OF THE "DIARY"
But it was on the "diary" or "history" of Martin that the police pinned their 
faith. The boy, exceptionally bright for his age, wrote on the one page of 
paper a concise history of his life. It was all in capital letters, written 
with a pencil, and police said it showed signs of having been edited by an 
older person.
The diary said:
"The Life of Martin DILLER". 
"I was born March 5, 1922. At that time my parents were living at 198 Grafton 
street, Brooklyn, N. Y. The names of my parents were Miriam and Herman 
DILLER. Later, as I became older, and when I was three years old, I had a 
brother. His name was Howard. He was very weak when he was one ear old.
We started to move from place to place and at last we settled at 580 Empire 
boulevard. We lived very happy there. And things were going along very good. 
Imagine me only 8 years old and in the 5A grade. Our father had some stores. 
One on Sutter avenue. Another on Tenth avenue, Manhattan. Another on New Lots 
avenue. And one more on Broadway. He sold three of them but now has one on 
Broadway."
"One day I heard my mother quarreling with my father. I did not know what was 
the matter. As soon as the fight was over and my father went to work, I asked 
my mother what was the matter. She said I should swear to tell no one."
WOMAN ACCUSES WIDOW
When questioned last night Miss BERSHON repeatedly pointed an accusing finger 
at Mrs. DILLER and exclaimed: "She did it! She did it! She's threatened to 
kill us both. I know she did it!"
Miss FREELEY told police that Mr. and Mrs. DILLER frequently quarreled over 
Miss BERSHON. 
The time of DILLER'S death has been fixed at about 10 A.M. yesterday. Mrs. 
DILLER told police that after she sent her two sons, one 7 and the other 9 
years old to school, she talked to her husband, who was still in bed, and 
then left the house to visit her sister, Mrs. Bertha THERNOSKY, of 1419 
Carroll street. She returned home about 3 P.M. she told police and found her 
husband dead in the bedroom. She immediately notified police, she said.
In their attempts to reconstruct the murder, police believe that was sleeping 
when the murderer entered his bedroom. The first blows, they believe, were 
struck while he still was in bed, but there are signs of a fierce struggle 
and his body was lying between twin beds when police arrived.
FOUGHT FOR HIS LIFE
DILLER, a powerful man weighing 225 pounds, is believed to have gotten out of 
bed and grappled with his assailant. Chairs were broken, the bed completely 
disarranged and the mattress lay on the floor, stained with blood in many 
places. In other rooms, pieces of white underclothing were found stained with 
blood, indicating that the murderer had wiped the blood from his hands with 
these articles.
Dr. M. E. MARTIN, medical examiner for Brooklyn and Queens, said that DILLER 
had been struck eight or nine times, probably with a hammer or a hatchet. The 
ruthlessness with which the murder was completed leads the police to believe 
that either revenge or the fact that the attacker was recognized by DILLER 
led to the murder.
The physician declared that the nasal bones had been broken, the forehead 
smashed and one blow had been struck on the back of the head. Indications 
that DILLER had tried to ward off a blow were seen in the fact that the index 
finger of the left hand had been badly cut. DILLER'S pajamas were in shreds 
and he was scratched about the body, indicating the fierceness of the struggle.
DILLER was robbed in his drug store some time ago and it is believed that he 
carried a large sum of money home with him over the weekend. This led the 
police to the tentative theory that robbery had been the motive but late last 
night, police announced that nothing was missing from the home and the theory 
was discarded.CLERKS TELL OF REVELS
Two soda clerks at DILLER'S drug store at 2939 Broadway, Manhattan, also are 
to be questioned in the district attorney's office today. Police have learned 
that DILLER frequently went to an apartment he shared with the young men and, 
according to the clerks, took women companions with him.
Police are satisfied that the assailant knew his way around the apartment, 
located on the fifth floor of the building. Some of the children's clothing 
had been taken from a bureau drawer in their bedroom and, bloodstained, it 
had been left lying on the floor. No weapon such as must have been used to 
crush his skull was found in the room.
The apartment DILLER was said to have visited at 535 West 112th street, 
Manhattan, today was being searched for possible clues there.

THREE BOROUGH CITIZENS END LIFE BY ROPE
Banker, Business Man and Paint Dealer Found Strangled
Three men, each prominent in his field, killed themselves by hanging last 
night and this morning. 
	They are James BEARNS, 60, a retired business man who was found hanged in 
the attic of his home at 585 Third street early today; 
	Clarence BEBEE, 52 of 94 Kent street, who hanged himself in his paint shop, 
at 83 Greenpoint avenue
	Dr. Benjamin F. BATTIN, resident vice-president of the National Surety Company, 
who hanged himself in his room in the Hotel Lincoln, Manhattan.
	Mr. BEARNS, who lives with his son and a housekeeper in a beautiful Park 
Slope home, had been suffering ill health since the death of his wife a year 
ago. He had been undergoing treatment for nervous disorders in a sanitarium 
until two weeks ago, the son, Bertram, stated.
The younger Mr. BEARNS said he left his father last night feeling unusually 
cheerful. When he returned to his home at 2 A. M. he found his father hanged 
in the attic.
	Mr. BARNES left a note in which he asked forgiveness and attributed his act 
to ill health and lack of a desire to live. He retired from business about 
ten years ago after making a fortune in the liquor trade. He was a member of 
the Crescent Athletic Club and during the war was a dollar a year man for the 
Fuel Administrator's office.
	Mr. BEBEE's body was discovered suspended from a gas fixture by Mrs. Emma 
MEGGE, of 87 Greenpoint avenue. He had been in the paint business in 
Greenpoint for the last thirty years and had succeeded his father in the 
business. His father died two weeks ago, and Mr. BEBEE's suicide was 
attributed to despondency over this and to ill health.
	Dr. BATTIN, according to his wife, to whom detectives talked at her home in 
Hudson View Gardens, 183d street and Pinehurst avenue, had been worrying over 
his contract with the National Surety company which expired April 1, and 
which he did not think would be renewed.
He was formerly a professor at Swarthmore College. He did notable work during 
the war and was sent to Germany on a special mission for the Red Cross. He 
was commended by Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt. He was 55 years old when he died.

23 March 1931
MOTHER WHO KILLED HERSELF AND SON BLAMES EX-BOARDER 
Taxi Driver After Questioning by the Police is Free  
John PRENDERVILLE, a taxi driver and a former boarder at the home of Mrs. 
Mary BALDWIN, 30, who, with her son, James, 5, was found dead from gas 
poisoning, was being questioned by police today after a note left by the 
woman to PRENDERVILLE concluded: "My blood is on your head."
James BALDWIN, Sr., estranged husband of the woman who killed her son and 
then herself yesterday, told police he was making funeral arrangements for 
his wife and son. They had been parted about four years.
TAXI DRIVER QUESTIONED
Although police would not make the complete text of either note public, they 
said the note to PRENDERVILLE ended with the accusation and, when he reported 
for work at the Shell Gasoline Company at Oakland and Box streets, he was 
taken to the Greenpoint station for questioning and later released. Outside 
of saying that PRENDERVILLE asserted that he did not know what Mrs. BALDWIN 
meant by the accusation, police would not talk about PRENDERVILLE's 
questioning.
Until a few weeks ago, neighbors of Mrs. BALDWIN, who lived at 74 India 
street, said that the woman had been in the best of spirits. She was employed 
as a supervisor in a Long Island department store and with the $7 she 
received every week from her husband for the support of her son, had no 
financial worries.
Then, according to information picked up by police, she had a quarrel with 
PRENDERVILLE and he left her home. A few days later she was laid off at the 
department store and her efforts to find another job proved futile. She 
became more and more despondent until Saturday, when her son became ill.
With her friend, Mrs. Helen SCHLOSSER, who lives in the apartment above the 
one Mrs. BALDWIN occupied, she took her son to Greenpoint Hospital, where 
doctors diagnosis was made and the same advice was given. Mrs. BALDWIN was 
advised to take her child home and take care of him as best she could until 
she could bring him to the clinic Monday, Mrs. SCHLOSSER stated. From St. 
John's Hospital they went back to their home and after Mrs. BALDWIN put her 
boy to bed Mrs. SCHLOSSER went upstairs to her own apartment.
A few hours later, according to police theories, Mrs. BALDWIN took her son 
out of bed, put a pillow case over his head and then, turning on the gas, put 
a rubber hose beneath the pillow case. As soon as the gas took its effect, 
police believe Mrs. BALDWIN put the hose in her mouth and killed herself. 
They were found lying beside each other on the floor when Mrs. SCHLOSSER came 
down to their apartment yesterday morning.
On the kitchen table, police found three notes. One was unsealed and asked 
that a doctor be called for the boy. the other two were sealed and addressed, 
one to PRENDERVILLE and the other to BALDWIN.
Searching the house, police found about three dollars and a number of overdue 
bills. It was learned that Mrs. BALDWIN was in arrears with her rent and owed 
considerable money at other places.
BALDWIN is going to have the bodies removed from the morgue in Kings County 
Hospital to an undertaking establishment and is making arrangements for 
funeral services.

CROWDED AUTO BLAMED FOR 4 DEAD, 7 HURT

injury, said the foot accelerator stuck as they reached the decline and Henry 
FYFE, the driver, of 2411 Forty-first street, Astoria, lost control of the

WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN KITCHEN OF GAS
Mrs. Mary GREENWALD, 38, was found dead on the floor in the kitchen of her 
home at 75 Ocean avenue today. Four jets on the range were open, according to 
police, who said that the woman had been in ill health. She was discovered by 
the apartment house superintendent, Arthur PROSSER, who called the police.

HOMEMADE CAR CAUSES DEATH 
Anthony VALESCI, 21, was freed today of any blame in the death of his 
brother, Ernest, 17, who was killed yesterday when a "home-made" automobile 
in which the boys were taking their first ride upset. Anthony, who was cut 
and bruised in the accident, was driving the car and after being questioned 
by Assistant District Attorney SELVATTI, no charges were placed against him.
The boys, who ran an automobile repair shop at 1673 Sixty-first street, lived 
at 465 Van Sicklen street. For several months, Anthony told police, he and 
his brother had been working on their machine, using parts of a half dozen 
automobiles to build it. Shortly after noon yesterday it was ready to be 
tried out.
Anthony drove east on Eighty-sixth street swerved the car to the right to 
avoid a collision with another machine which turned into West Sixth street. 
Their machine turned over three times and then piled up against a tree. 
Ernest was taken to Harbor Hospital where he died, in a few minutes from a 
fractured skull. Anthony was treated by Ambulance Surgeon, SUSSMAN, of Coney 
Island Hospital and then taken into custody.

ONLY 3 SEIZED IN 4 SLAYING; 2 NEAR DEATH
Hunt for Killers Continues Despite Arrests in Boro Murders
Although one man was held without bail for the murder of his business partner 
and two others are being held in connection with an attempted murder, police 
of Brooklyn late today admitted they are not satisfied they have found the 
guilty parties in either case. The two shootings in Brooklyn came at the same 
time that three other men were killed and another critically wounded in other 
boroughs during a night of gang uprisings.
	James F. DUNN, of 171 Sterling street, was held for a hearing Friday on a 
charge of murdering his partner, Robert WAGNER, 28, in the office of James f. 
DUNN & company, coal dealers, 199 Skillman street. He was arraigned before 
Magistrate ELIPERIN in Brooklyn homicide court this afternoon.
Angelo YALE, brother of the slain Frankie YALE, and Gaetano SORRENTINO, 34 of 
2858 West Twentieth street, were held without bail for a hearing Friday in 
connection with the shooting of CATALDO (Eddie) GRIMALDI, 27, of 124 Twelfth 
street, who is near death in United Israel Zion Hospital after he was shot 
from ambush last night.
THREE OTHER KILLINGS
	Manhattan police are trying to solve the murder of John WELCH, 45, who was 
shot to death while playing cards in a cafe at 180 Christopher street, 
Greenwich Village, and an unknown man who was found slain several blocks away 
at Washington and Darrow streets. 
	Bronx police are looking for the slayers of Andrew D'AMATO, Bronx 
cabaret proprietor, whose bullet ridden body was found early today on the 
street, covered by a table cloth.
	James DUNN, according to police, has confessed that he shot WAGNER during a 
scuffle in the coal company's office after a squabble over the division of 
the company;s profits. He said, police state, that the shooting took place 
when he grappled with WAGNER for a revolver that WAGNER pulled on him. 
According to police, DUNN admitted he had been drinking and "didn't remember 
exactly what happened." 
In spite of DUNN'S confession, however, there are a number of important 
features that police have not been able to solve.
"I went into the clinch with him", police report DUNN as saying, "and we both 
fought for the gun. I got my hand on it and it went off. WAGNER fell to the 
floor and I ran out of the office and threw the gun in the alley (Spencer 
street) that runs alongside the office. then I went and drank some more at a 
number of speakeasies and came home."
Mrs. DUNN, however, said that her husband came home and informed her that 
WAGNER had been killed. 
"Who killed him?" Mrs. DUNN said she asked.
"Dave did. He came to get $25 from WAGNER and when he refused to give it to 
him, he killed him," she told police her husband replied.
Dave is David DUNN, captain of court attendants at the Gates avenue station 
house. He and his wife, Rose, were brought in for questioning and both said 
that David had been confined to his bed since last Sunday with a severe cold. 
He was in bed when police arrived. After he was questioned by Assistant 
District Attorney Nicholas SELVAGGI until early today he was released.
However, in spite of an all night search will flash lights, police were 
unable to find the gun James DUNN said he threw away. And, instead of one 
bullet wound, WAGNER's death was caused by three bullets and a fourth went 
wild in the office. In addition to that, only twelve cents was found in 
WAGNER'S pocket and when James DUNN left the place, WAGNER had more than 
$800. James DUNN emphatically denies he took the money and accounted for al 
the cash he had with him when he was arrested.

FOUND GUILTY IN MURDER OF BROOKLYN MAN
Two Convicted in White Plains - Victim's Widow and Lover Held
    Giuseppe CARICARI and Alfonso CARRATO, found guilty on a charge of
murder, first degree, by a jury before Supreme Court Justice CLOSE in White
Plains late yesterday, will be sentenced Monday.
    The two men were convicted of having fatally shot GIOVANNI VOLPE, of
1139 Eighty-sixth street, Bay Ridge, in Mamaroneck on the night of March 25
last.
    The jury was out seven hours and 35 minutes.
    A short time before the verdict was returned, the jury asked Justice
CLOSE whether a verdict of guilty of first degree murder might be returned
with a recommendation of mercy, but Justice CLOSE explained such a verdict
was not permissible under the State law.
    VOLPE's widow, Mrs. ROSINA VOLPE and Joseph CARBONERI, with whom she was
friendly, are held in the county jail on a similar charge of first degree
murder.  It was the contention of the State that CARBONERI offered CARICARI
and CARRATO $500 to kill VOLPE.  This the defendants denied.

BROKER SUICIDE IN FELLING SONS 
Honolulu, T. H., March 27 - Dudley W. WALLACE, wealthy New York stock broker, 
died in a hospital here today of bullet wounds inflicted in a suicide attempt 
after he had attacked his two sons and fractured their skulls with an ax. The 
sons, Dudley, 12 and Donald 9, were in critical condition.
Mrs. WALLACE, who discovered the tragedy on returning home from the exclusive 
Waikiki District, said her husband had been confined to a New York sanitarium 
for six weeks after suffering heavy losses in the stock market.
The family came her last July for WALLACE's health, she said, and he 
apparently became normal again. During the last few days, however, she said, 
he had acted strangely.

Harold KELLY, five year old son of Michael KELLY, of 65 Huron street, died in

a closet. The boy was found in a coma on the kitchen floor by Mrs. KELLY when 
she returned from a neighborhood shopping tour.
Patrolman METZGER, of Greenpoint station, summoned Dr. SABISKY, of Greenpoint 
Hospital, who had the boy taken to that institution. Capt. BETZ, of 
Greenpoint station is investigating.

BAKER, 'TAKEN FOR A RIDE,' BODY FOUND IN QUEENS YARD
Shot Gun Shell Only Clue Found Near Slain Man
Joseph MADONIA, 45, a baker, of 305 Knickerbocker avenue, was "taken for a 
ride" and shot to death somewhere in Brooklyn in Queens early today. His Body 
was found several hours later by Edward WISE of 59-41 Mount Olivet avenue, 
Maspeth. It was lying on the narrow strip of ground between two private 
garages behind Wise's home.
Detectives said that they were informed by Gasper MADONIA, son of the slain 
man, that his father was known as FERRARO. Gasper was taken to the Maspeth 
station for questioning by detectives and District Attorney HALLINAN, who 
went to the scene and took a personal part in the investigation.
MADONIA'S hat lay near his body. He wore a brown overcoat over a dark suit, 
and black shoes. His clothing indicated that the killers dragged him from the 
street, through the driveway and into the back yard.
At first police were able to find no one who could give them any information, 
but after a time they located a woman living in a row of frame houses 
fronting the garages and she told them that about 1 A. M., she heard a noise 
which might have been a hot or the backfire of an automobile. A search of the 
ground around the body revealed a .12 gauges shotgun shell, but police 
refused to say whether it had been recently fired or whether it showed 
evidence of having lain in the open air for a time.
FERRARO had been shot in the left temple, the bullet emerging from the top of 
his head.

DIES SUDDENLY
John MCDONALD 38, of 7712 Third avenue, died suddenly at his home early 
today. Patrolman John PAGE of Fifth avenue station called an ambulance 
station from the Norwegian Hospital, who said heart disease was probably the

SUICIDE PLANNED ON LOVE AFFAIR
An unfortunate love affair was blamed by police for the suicide of Minnie 
KADEYAN, 35, whose strangled body was found today in the room in which she 
lived at the home of her married sister at 763 Forty-fifth street.
The woman had made a noose of an electric iron cord and strips from a bed 
sheet, police said. This she had fastened to the transom over the door and 
hanged herself. There were no notes left, but police said she had been 
brooding over the treatment accorded her by her sweetheart, identified only 
as "Bill", who lives on Long Island.

TWO CHILDREN KILLED BY TRUCKS IN STREET; HIT-RUN DRIVER HELD
Chauffeur Saved by Police From Mob-Priests Gives Rites
Two children, a six year old girl and an 11 year old boy were killed 
instantly by truck drivers today. The little girl was the victim of a hit and 
run driver.
	Margaret ANDERSON, of 728 Rogers avenue, was the girl who was killed. She was 
struck at Rogers avenue and Lenexa road by a ruck whose driver refused to stop.
Two drivers of other cars gave chase. They halted a laundry truck a quarter 
of mile from the scene and brought the driver, Julius KOSOWSKY, 29, of 576 
Osborne street, back to where the girl's body lay in the street.
	The boy was Francis SHELLEY of 262 Twelfth street, who was roller skating at 
Fourth avenue and Twelfth street, when he was crushed to death by a truck 
after being dragged a distance of twenty-five feet toward Eleventh street by 
the heavy vehicle.
	The boy had been skating downhill on Twelfth street, according to witnesses, 
when he crashed into the truck and was caught by one of the rear wheels. Only 
the quick arrival of a policeman saved the driver, Martin STOURGARD, 30, of 
945 Post road, Staten Island, from injury at the hands of a large crowd which 
quickly gathered and began to menace the driver.
A priest from Holy Family R. C. Church nearby, where Francis was to have been 
confirmed in two weeks, rushed to the child's side and administered the last rites.
	Mrs. Mary SHELLEY, the boy's mother, became hysterical when told of her son's 
death, and had to be put to bed. His father, John, also a truck driver, took 
out the boy's blue confirmation suit and carried it to the undertaking 
establishment. The boy will be buried in the suit.

	Frederick CONRAD, 9 years old, of 62-16 Hughes and Chaffee streets, 
Ridgewood, near his home, The boy died of internal injuries on the way to 
Wyckoff Heights Hospital.
	The driver of the wagon, Tewig KAPLAN, of 380 Rockaway parkway, was leading 
the horse when the boy in some way got under the wagon. He was struck and run 
over by the right rear wheel. Detectives of the Glendale station, who 
questioned KAPLAN, regarded the boy's death as an accident.

ACTION WAITS IN BOY'S DEATH BY ALCOHOLISM
Liquor Brought by Friend of Family When Father was Ill.
Whether any arrest will be made as the result of the death of five year old 
Harry KELLY, of 65 Huron street, yesterday in Greenpoint Hospital, Detective 
John DEMPSEY of Greenpoint station was not ready to say today.
According to the police the boy died from alcoholism as the result of having 
taken a quantity of whiskey in his home on Thursday night. Detective DEMPSEY 
admitted he had been in conference with the District Attorney. He will await 
the result of an examination of the boy's organs at the city laboratory.
Harry was one of seven children. The youngest is one year old and the oldest 
13 years old. The father, Michael, who was a shipping clerk, has been out of 
work since last November. In December he became ill and a friend brought him 
a half pint of whiskey. He took a little and left the remainder in the bottle 
on a shelf in the kitchen.
On Thursday evening while the mother of the boy, Francis, was looking out of 
the window, Harry got on a chair, took the bottle and drank some of the 
liquor. He fell from the chair to the floor on his head. He was later taken, 
in a coma, to the hospital. When the boy died the authorities at Greenpoint 
Hospital were not sure whether death was due to the liquor the boy had taken 
or whether the fall caused death.
Detective DEMPSEY admitted an autopsy was performed at the hospital and the 
report declared that death was due to acute alcoholism. It was finally 
decided to send the organs to the city laboratory for analysis.
Captain Joseph BENTZ, in command of the Greenpoint station, said he had been 
supplying the family with food and fuel for some time.

DROVE HIM TO TRY SUICIDE
NADIEN, Head of Musical Family, Tells Story of Dire Need
                    by Dixie TIGHE
George NADIEN, of 403 Avenue C., was driven to attempted suicide when he 
could see no way to support his wife and small sons, Nathan, 4 and David, 3.
The only way he could support his family was by committing suicide in order 
that they might collect $5,000 insurance. While his wife had gone to look for 
smaller lodgings and his children played out front, NADIEN, a violin teacher, 
turned on the gas, but his suicidal attempts were interrupted by a banging on 
the door. He had talked with police about his economic condition and they had 
come to investigate the strength of his report.
"I cannot honestly say," he said, "that I am happy because my suicide was 
prevented. Perhaps, when things are better, I will be glad, but today, I see 
no way to alter the situation and I am still terrified at the prospects of my 
wife and children in destitute circumstances."
    A MUSICAL FAMILY
The NADIENS are a musical family. David, a blond, good-looking child, is 
considered a violin prodigy and has played with the Chicago Opera Company. he 
has appeared in motion pictures and the two little boys have broadcast. On 
the air they are known as the NADIEN twins.
Nathan sings very nicely and he and his brother go in for duets. Just before 
the children went out today they sang "Sweet Adeline" for our edification, 
with David carrying a mean tenor and Nathan carrying the burden of the melody.
Mr. NADIEN discussed the unhappy situation and talked of his attempted 
suicide yesterday, ending by declaring "that he is going to buy real bullets 
for my gun ad I am going to kill everybody."
    ARE REAL PRODIGIES.
As the children, unmindful of the tragedy in their home, went out to play, 
Mr. NADIEN said:
"They are good children and are real prodigies. I hope that someone will 
adopt them who will educate them according to their talent."
Among the disasters that caused the suicidal attempt was the thought that the 
rent was three months overdue and the NADIENS were threatened with a 
dispossess notice. Also the milk bill was long overdue and NADIEN believed 
the company would refuse to serve them unless they paid. However, the rental 
agent has promised to withhold the notice if NADIEN can see his way clear to 
pay on his indebtedness.
"The principal trouble is," Mr. NADIEN said, "so many of my pupils can no 
longer pay because of their parents' unemployment. However, I continued to 
teach them and I am sure they will pay when they have the money."
    WON'T APPEAL TO KIN
Mr. NADIEN said that if he cannot raise money for rent, he would be forced to 
sell his possessions and probably live with his "in-laws." 
"I will not under any condition appeal to my own relatives and friends. I 
prefer to seek the aid of the police."
The children were singing in duet form, "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life," as Mr. 
NADIEN answered the telephone. It was a motion picture company requesting the 
children come to the studio at once to play and sing. NADIEN said:
"I don't imagine it will pay anything, but perhaps it will allow worthy 
people to see and hear the children and maybe that will result in assuring 
them and their mother a means of support."

ROOMER FOUND DEAD OF GAS POISONING
Sexto BARQUEZ, 32, was found dead n his room at 162 Sands street today from 
gas poisoning. A jet on the wall was open, police said. An Ambulance surgeon 
from Cumberland Hospital, called by James TORRES, a resident in the Sands 
street house, who found BARQUEZ, said the man was dead when he arrived. 
Police described the death as accidental.

BABIES KILLED BY CARBON GAS; PROBE STARTED
One Dies in Car, the Other in Home on Avenue P
Two investigations are under way today into the deaths last night and this 
morning of two orphan infants who were "farmed out" to a Brooklyn family.
The dead babies are Rose Mary FALVINO, two months old, and Diana FRONCISCO, 
four months old. They had been sent by the Angel Guardian Home, Twelfth 
avenue and Sixty-fourth street, to Mr. and Mrs. Philip FERRIOLLO, of 3807 
Avenue P. The home paid the FERRIOLLOS $30 a month as board for the babies.
Both children were taken by the FERRIOLLOS yesterday to Valley Stream by 
automobile. There in some manner the authorities have not yet determined, 
carbon monoxide gas from the automobile asphyxiated Diana and made Rose Mary ill.
Rose Mary died at the Avenue P address at 3 A. M. today. The Medical 
Examiner's office and the Department of Public Welfare are investigating the deaths.
    CHILDREN ASLEEP
It was shortly before six o'clock yesterday when Mrs. FERRIOLE, who was 
driving the automobile, stopped the car in front of the home of Pasquale 
BULIFICIO, at Franklin Square, L. I. At the time Rosemary was in a hammock in 
the car and the other child sleeping on the back seat, Mrs. FERRIOLE said.
A short time later, Mrs. FERRIOLE told police, she heard one of the children 
crying and she went out to the automobile and fed both of them. About an hour 
later she heard another cry and this time when she went to the car Rosemary 
was vomiting and Diana appeared to be sleeping. She said she tried to awaken 
Diana and when she failed, became alarmed and summoned her husband and the 
others. Both children were carried into the house and the police asked to 
summon a physician.
    INQUEST TODAY
Mrs. FERRIOLE told the police that when she parked the automobile she shut 
off the engine and opened the front window part way. She could not explain 
how the accident occurred.
County Detective John KEARNEY and Theodore BEDELL made an investigation and 
decided not to hold either Mrs. FERRIOLE or her husband. Coroner Edward T. 
NEU, of Lynbrook, was also to conduct an inquest today to determine the case 
of death.

FOUR OVERCOME, MAN DROWNED
Police who were sent to the home of James MACKRELL, 72, 32 Lakewood 
boulevard, Lynbrook, L. I., today when four of his grandchildren were 
overcome by gas and his daughter was seriously affected, discovered his body, 
some time later, drowned in a foot of water in Mill River, at Rockville 
Centre. They listed his death as suicide.
MACKRELL'S body was discovered by Patrolman John DELANEY. Part of the body 
was out of the water, which covered the head and shoulders.
According to police, Mrs. MACKRELL has been ill in a New York City Hospital 
since last fall. This morning, they said, MACKRELL, who has been pinched to 
provide for his sick wife and the care of the others in his home, had a 
discussion with his daughter, Clara, over finances. He was not seen alive again.

31 March 1931
AUTOPSY SHOWS SECOND BABY PROBABLY DIED OF AUTO GAS
Exposure Theory Wrong in Franklin Square Tragedy
The report of the autopsy performed today at Kings County Hospital by medical 
Examiner AUERBACH on the body of Rosemarie SLAVIN, two months old, one of two 
"farmed out" children, both of whom are dead, stated that the child may have 
died as the result of carbon monoxide poisoning and that there was nothing 
indicative or relative to death from pneumonia.
The official report read: "Status lymphaticus, pending chemical analysis." 
This was revealed as swelling of a gland in the throat that may have been 
caused by gas but not pneumonia. As a result the child's tongue, the brain 
and stomach contents were sent to Dr. GETTLAR at Bellevue Hospital for 
chemical analysis.
Whether death was caused by gas poisoning has not been officially determined 
but, it was stated, pneumonia could not possibly have been the cause.
However, a controversy over the methods employed in "farming out" institution 
children to private homes appeared imminent today as a result of the autopsy 
report of Dr. Carl HELTERSEINER, medical examiner of Nassau County, in the 
case of four months old Diana FRANCISCO, the other child.
Dr. HELTERSEINER's report said that the child died of pneumonia, preceded by 
exposure, and not of carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust of an 
automobile motor.
CONFER ON PROSECUTION
Captain Emil MORSE, chief of the homicide bureau in Nassau County, said he 
would confer today with Richard BROWN, Assistant District Attorney, regarding 
the possibility of obtaining indictments against the person or persons 
responsible for the infant's physical condition. He announced definitely 
later that if the autopsy on the SLAVIN baby revealed the same condition, 
criminal action would follow.
All of which came highly unexpected on the heels of reports of the TERRIOLE 
family made by the Department of Public Welfare. Officials from that 
department investigated the family and stated that they were fit foster 
parents.
An official of the department told a Standard Union reporter that the home at 
3807 Avenue P was in first class condition and that in the two months that 
the children had been boarded there they had gained weight and that Mrs. 
TERRIOLE had spent $40 for babies' clothes so as to have the children 
"looking nice."
The official further stated that Mr. TERRIOLE was a contractor, and that Mrs. 
TERRIOLE was experienced in the raising of children, being a grandmother 
herself. She has a married son, married daughter and a single son, the 
official said.
A reporter went to the TERRIOLE house yesterday afternoon but was refused 
admission and no member of the family would speak to him. The house is a 
two-story brick semi-detached, with a small front lawn, rear yard and a 
garage. Neighbors spoke rather taciturnly, saying that the TERRIOLES had 
"lived here some time and are nice people."
LAW PROVIDES CAUTION
When a child is boarded out the members of the family to take the child must 
first get a certificate from the Health Department. officials investigate and 
if everything is all right the home investigates.
Then the Department of Public Welfare investigates the family. If the child 
is boarded out the Department of Welfare files away a card with the child's 
name and the address to which it is "farmed out" and sends an official to 
investigate and ascertain the health of the child every three or four months. 
The home sends a nurse and a doctor around every month to study the health 
and condition of the child and the home.
An official at the Angel Guardian home said that the TERRIOLE home had been 
thoroughly investigated and that from all reports the couple had been greatly 
attached to the children. It was learned that Mrs. TERRIOLE was confined to 
bed with hysteria and shock at the death of the children. 
The official at the Angel Guardian home was interrogated on the subject of 
"farming out" children.
"Don't use that term," she protested. "It isn't right. That isn't true any 
more. We pay board money to the family where the child is sent and our 
investigation is most thorough and competent. Besides us the Department of 
Public Welfare, the health Department and the State conduct an investigation 
as to the fitness of the home where we put the children.
"The State holds the institution responsible for whatever happens. I assure 
you that Mrs. TERRIOLE was a motherly sort and that we found their home in 
first class condition."
The report of the deaths sent to the Department of public Welfare stated that 
the TERRIOLES had taken the two children to Franklin Square on Sunday 
afternoon. They left the car parked while they went to visit some friends who 
lived on a 21 acre farm.
Mrs. TERRIOLE returned in a half hour to give the children their first 
bottle, and ten returned about three quarters of an hour later to find them 
whimpering. She gave them another bottle at 3 o'clock and apparently they 
were all right. At 4 o'clock she returned and sensed that something was 
wrong. Diana was unconscious.
They called a doctor but the little girl was dead. They returned home and at 
3 A. M. Rosemarie became violently sick. They called an ambulance surgeon 
from Kings County Hospital but he arrived too late.
