REVEAL WEIRD DETAILS OF ODD LOVETRIANGLE Convict’s Letters to Wife and Lover, Read by Both, Disclosed. 81l United I’rtnt MINE© LA, L. 1., Dec. I.—A convict’s love letters to his wife and the girl he wronged, inclosed in the same envelope, and read by both, were revealed today in the strange triangle of May Gledhill, Canadian beauty, William A. Conner, and Mrs. Conner. And when these letters arrived at the Floral Park home where Miss Gledhill, 26, a descendant of Sir Robert Peel, lives with Mrs. Conner, they were read by both in amity. Mrs. Conner revealed this strange correspondence and displayed two of the notes written by her husband from his cell in Vermont penitentiary. The one to her read: “My Dear Wife: I am looking forward to the time I get out of here when you and I may start life anew. I know that I have caused you such grief and misery, but you must know' that I regret it all. I know that you understand me and the w'orld and that you will find it in your big forgiving heart to forgive me.” Mentions His Son The letter to Miss Gledhill said: “My Dearling May: I am counting the days when I will be w'ith yor. again. Separation from you is maddening. I love you with heart and soul and I know you love me. Be brave, be patient, and soon we will be together again with our love.” Another letter to Miss Gledhill said: “Dearest May: You know I did not measure anything in honey, for I gave my last dollar and always would for you and Sonny. I measured my happiness by love, trust and faith in our home. I am here becau.se I got money wrongly so that you and Sonny would not starve and be without a home. You and Sonny are in my heart and soul every minute I live. You can sell anything at home you wish—my clothes, cases and trunks. But for God’s sake keep Sonny fed. His picture and yours stay with me always.” “Sonny” is the cihld born to Miss Gledhill. Mrs. Conners’ only comment on the correspondence was that her husband “is out of rhythm with life.” Mother of 2-Year-Old Boy Miss Gledhill, who posed for the Canadian “Ski Girl” poster, is the mother of Conner’s 2-year-old son. Before Conner was sentenced to prison sos forgery he had rented the Floral Park home for Miss Gledhill. The day before he was arrested he called his wife to this house and told her the circumstances of his love affair. Since then Mrs. Conner has lived with Miss Gledhill. The bizarre case became public after Miss Gledhill was taken to a hospital Saturday night, following a collapse. Her condition early today was reported slightly improved. Diagnosis of her illness, while not complete, has shown there is no poison in her system.

SNELL-TILSON CONFLICT PUTS G.ILMN AIR Leaders Step Cautiously as Party Picks Leaders for House. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—House Republicans today bore out the tradition that the minority in congress usually engages in the most internecine strife. Split wide open on the question of who shall lead them from now until the national conventions next summer, the Republicans appeared unlikely to adjust their differences before the seventy-second congress opens next Monday. Nomination Monday of Bertrand H. Snell of New York as their candidate for Speaker only precipitated the fight. The real battle will flare over the floor leader problem. Republicans know full well that barring the unexpected, Democrats will organize the house and elect John N. Garner of Texas Speaker. Thus the seven-ballot fight between Snell and John Q. Tilson of Connecticut actually was a preliminary skirmish, seeking advantage in the struggle for the floor leadership. Snell fought hard for the nomination on the theory that the floor leadership automatically goes to the defeated candidate for Speaker. Snell expects to be that defeated candidate. Tilson, on the other hand, insists that he already is floor leader because he was elected last spring to that post, in which he already had served six years. It would be an empty honor for Snell to stand for Speaker with advance certainty of defeat, unless the next best job were in reserve. This modern version of the imperial conflict between Brutus and Marc Anthony after the death of

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Wins Seat

Richard M. Kleberg, above, Corpus Christi rancher and banker, practically cinched the election of his fellow Texan, Congressman Jack Garner, as speaker of the house by his victory in the race to succeed the late Representative Harry Wurzbach, Republican, of San Antonio. Kleberg, a wet, is the first Democrat congressman elected from the Fourteenth Texas district in eleven years and his victory apparently gives the Democrats a clear majority in the new house.

Caesar will be decided next week after the house organizes. Some of the older heads in Monday’s conference, fearing a second phase of the personal fight in one day, counseled that to elect a floor leader before organization of the house would be open admission of defeat for the speakership. This they do not wish to admit publicly. The Republicans today continued their deliberations, taking up the issue of liberalized rules, an issue whose mention in former years has set them a-trembling, but which now holds slight terror.

Letters containing the reduction proposal were given to heads of the twenty railroad unions and asked for “immediate consideration” of the wage slash. “We are convinced fully that there must be a prompt reduction of at least 15 per cent in all rates of com- ! pensation of all classes of employes,” the letter said. With the return of better times, | the present wage level would be re- ! stored, Sargent said. The 15 per cent cut was 5 per cent greater than that discussed Monday at the Western Association of Railway Executives’ meeting. i Ice cream, as far as is known, was first made and eaten during i the sixteenth century in Italy.
