STEAMER SUNK IN BOSTON HARBOR BOSTON, Sept. 24—The steamer Edward Pierce sank in Boston harbor today after she had been rammed by the steamer Mundella. The crash occurred in the outer harbor, but the Pierce was able to limp to a point off a dock alceded by a tug before she went down. The tug put her nose against the side of the Pierce and pushed her out of the channel so that she rests in comparatively shallow water with her bow showing. A big hole was torn in the Pierce's starboard forward. The Pierce was inward bound from Newport News with a cargo of coal and the Mundella was bound for New York and the Pacific coast with cargo. The crew of the Pierce leaped from her deck to the tug as she sank. Misinterpreted signals were believed responsible for the collision. AUTO WRECKS EYE WITNESS TO TELL OF SHOOTING Forest Wilson, 25, Cement Worker, Formally Held for Wounding Officer Shooting under peculiar circumstances of Deputy Sheriff Howard D. Cox at Laguna Beach, early yesterday, was laid formally to Forest Wilson, 25, a Laguna Beach cement worker, who today was arraigned in justice court at Santa Ana on a charge of assault. Says He Was Unaware She Was Under 18 When Married A new trial today faced John Nefroney, Jr., of Los Angeles, accused of perjury in connection with the granting of a marriage license to himself and young bride, whom her mother says is but 14 years old. A jury in superior court today failed to agree on a verdict and Judge R. Y. Williams set the case for retrial Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. Of one thing Nefroney can be sure as he waits for the day of his second appearance in court. His girl wife will not desert him. Court attaches were of the opinion that when the girl took the stand she might exercise the age-old perogative of the female of the species, change her mind, and give testimony damaging to her mate. But when she took the stand she sided against her mother and for her husband, declaring that her lover did not know that she was not 18 at the time the marriage license was issued. Other witnesses, however, took the stand and told of an alleged incident at the marriage license bureau at which time Nefroney was quoted as saying the girl was only 13 but that her mother didn't like him to see the girl so they had decided to get married. The girl testified that her 34-year-old mother had always encouraged her to go with men, at one time urging her to receive amorous attention from a 64-year old Los Angeles resident. Charlene Nefroney, the girl-bride, sat in the courtroom with the relatives of her husband while her mother sat some distance away. Neither paid each other any attention. ANAHEIM C. OF C.

Legal action to compel removal of the asserted barrier is said to be contemplated. BAR DANCE HALL La Habra likely will be without a public dance.

Nelson told supervisors his decision was concurred in by Sheriff Sam Jernigan and that both opposed any dance hall in any part of the county that "was without adequate police protection." More than 70 prominent residents of La Habra signed the petition favoring the dance while the step was opposed indirectly in a petition filed by a church there.

SAYS GIBSON CAUSE OF MURDER PASADENA, Sept. 24.—Asserting he did not murder Mrs. Fredrick R. Hunn, wealthy wife of a Chicago ink manufacturer, found shot thru the heart and beaten about the head with a hammer following a dinner party at her Pasadena home last Friday, Harry Garbutt, former Joliet, Ill., prison inmate, today accused another dinner guest of the crime. Garbutt, arrested in Los Angeles where he was trailed to the hotel apartments of a sweetheart, claimed Mrs. Hunn was shot and killed during a fight between himself and F. E. Gibson, retired contractor and Mrs. Hunn's friend, and assisted Gibson caused her death. Gibson fired at him during a seuffle in the kitchen of the Hunn home, the bullet striking the welfare worker, who had befriended Garbutt in an effort to reform him, killing her instantly, was the story told by Garbutt. Police scoffed at the former convict's version and asserted he would be charged with beating Mrs. Hunn with a hammer and then killing her with a single, well directed shot. Robbery was the former convicts motive, the authorities charged. He wanted Mrs. Hunn's collection of jewels, valued at more than $30,000, and which she usually carried concealed on her person. After taken into custody in the Los Angeles apartment of Irene Kirkhoff, formerly of Chicago, Garbutt, police said, told a rambling story of the manner in which Mrs. Hunn met death. Gibson and Mrs. Hunn were quarreling and he interfered, Garbutt told the authorities, leading to a new quarrel, in which Gibbon fired at him and accidently killed the manufacturer's wife. Garbutt said he realized everything was against him, especially as he had a prison record, so he fled. Miss Kirkhoff, also known as Irene Kerekhoff, was said to have wealthy relatives in Edgar and washed the declares She No Longer Has Thot of Murder in Her Heart MOUNT VERNON, Ill., Sept. 24. A coroner's jury, sitting in a double inquiry into the deaths of Wilford Sweetin and Mrs. Anna High at Ina, near here, today officially closed the investigation into Jefferson-co's poison plot by holding Mrs. Sweetin and her "lovmate," Rev. Lawrence M. High, jockey-pastor, on charges of murder. The formal finding of the jury was that Mrs. High came to her death from arsenic administered by her husband and that Sweetin met a similar fate at the hands of his wife, Elise. The inquest was more or less partonectory because of the full confessions of the crimes which were presented. (Copyright 1924, by International News Service) SALEM, Ilis., Sept. 24.—In a little cell in the county jail here today, Elise Sweetin, the woman who killed for love, began her self-questioning, began to weigh her love. Rev. Lawrence M. High, jockey-pastor, for whom she administered assent to Wilford, the husband who had plodded and worked to give her a home, has been held in the balance—and found wanting. She sits listlessly in the dark cell—a dark-skinned, dark haired woman, eyes of hazy blue shifting restlessly, the flat chest heaving; the lips drawn within the mouth, are released and there is the trace of a burned out fire in her face. Not the killing is her cross but the love so suddenly dead. It died so quickly, in the fleeting moment when she knew her pastor lover was dross, counterfeit. And now this woman, this apex of the triangle, sits and probes within, as colorless, as meaningless a blank sheet of paper. "I wanted love," she begins her tale another Eve seeking a new Eden. "And Wilford Sweetin didn't give me the kind I wanted. He was a glacier, cold, no words of affection. I married him when I was 16. Father had left mother when I was only a few months old! He went to Colorado and forgot my brother Carl and me. We went to Ewing, a little town near the farm where I was born,and mother took in washing.I was two when she married again,and there were lots of children—six—but I was always alone.Mother didn't have much time for me.I went up to the eighth grade,但 when I was 12 I had to go to work.I was a nurse maid.washed the declares She No Longer Has Thot of Murder in Her Heart MOUNT VERNON, Ill., Sept. 24.

PASADENA, Sept. 24.—Mrs. Clifton R. Hunn, 50-year-old welfare worker, society woman and wife of a wealthy Chicago ink manufacturer was accidentally shot in her home because she interfered in a love affair of her friend, F. R. Gibson, retired contractor, Harry Garbutt, alleged Chicago underworld character, accused of the woman's murder, told police here today. Asserting Mrs. Hunn was angered because Gibbon was engaged to a beautiful Los Angeles girl, she quarreled with the contractor at her home last Friday night, following a dinner at which Gibson and Garbutt were present. Hearing Mrs. Hunn and Gibbon arguing, Garbutt said he interfered after Gibbon struck Mrs. Hunn over the head with a hammer. Gibbon then attacked him and Garbutt, so his story was told, whipped out a gun. In a struggle for the weapon, it was accidentally discharged, killing Mrs. Hunn. Miss Kirkhoff, 24-year-old girl found with Garbutt in a Los Angeles hotel, where Garbutt was arrested, was held today as a material witness in the case. She told police she was "married" three weeks ago in San Diego to Garbutt, but later she discovered the marriage was a fake. The girl was divorced a year ago from B. L. Brown of Hastings, Neb. Her story breaks. She gasps. Her eyes widen as if with fear. She says softly: "I loved him and he loved me. The children came, and they were dear, but there was something missing out of my life. I had been religious and again I sought to regain that deep communion with God. "About a year ago Hight came to town." Her story breaks. She gasps. Her eyes widen as if with fear. She says softly: "I sweetin is in this cell. He hear me." And then her odyssey of boredom, the story of a life grown stale, is resumed. "God, what a life. Sweetin made good money—$40 or $50 a week. He worked in the mines and he'd come home and go to bed. I wasn't happy. "And so High came. He was our preacher and he told me later that he loved me the moment he saw me. He won my confidence from the start—and later my heart. "I gave him a pure heart and I got back a sinful one. I was a good woman and now I am bad." It was several months before I really got to know him. Then one night there was a revival meeting and many of my neighbors were going. I told Wilford I was going too. The preacher came to take me. My cousin, Eva Milliner, lives next door to me, ran over to her house to get a shawl while the preacher and I walked down to his car. "You know," he told me, "rather you'd go with me in the car than anybody else. I like you." Continued on Page Two.

Calif. without sufficient funds to establish themselves and then returned to their own states worse off than they were before are giving So. Calif. a bad name, according to W. J. Elliott, local realtor, who has just returned from an extended trip thru the mid-west and northwest. Echoes of the foot-and-mouth disease, drouth, power shortage, etc., still are heard, but the worst thing said about the southland is that its reputation is based on propaganda, says Elliott.

Left handed into almost a state of coma in the first four innings by Yde, the big southpaw star of the Pirate hurling staff, the Giants got going in the fifth inning and in the sixth for the runs necessary to win. One run fell to them in the fifth when Wilson socked a home run into the right field stands. In the sixth they turned a dribbling bunt into the start of a three run rally. Lindstrom, substituting for Groh at third hit in front of the plate but so much english was on the ball it rolled out of reach of Yde and he was safe. Young sacrificed and after Kelly was killed off, Yde put Meusel on first purposely in order to get a crack at Terry, who hits lefthanded. Terry replied with a single which scored Lindstrom. Traysor made a dazzling play to get Wilson but Grimm dropped the ball, Meusel scoring and Terry reaching third from where he scored when the Pirates fizzled in an attempt to get him at the plate in an attempted double steal. Earl Smith contributed both Pittsburg runs with home run smashes in the right field stand, one in the seventh and one in the ninth. FIRST INNING PITTSBURG — Bigbee fanned, Carey out, Barnes to Terry.
