church services and later entertain-

protecting his eyes. appeared in good
hagglen he emerged from the church
he said to the group of motion pic-
turo and newspaper photographers:

"There are so many of you that if
you were not such good fellows I'd
be afraid of you."

Rockefeller obligingly enacted s.
scene in which he gave a nickle to
Robert Irving Hunter. aged two. four
times but balked when he was asked
to do it again.

Because of the fact that his birth-
day fell on a. Sunday. Rockefeller did
not give the customary band concert
at his estate at Pocantico Hills.

Rockefeller rose about six o'clock
as usual. enjoyed a short stroll about
his estate and ate breakfast at 8

Uncle Sam Has Places for
Men in West Point and
Naval Academy.

There are many young men who
101‘! for a higher education and yet do
not know how or where to obtain it. It
1! not senerally known that “Uncle
Sam" extends a liberal education to
the youth who is willing and anxious
to secure appointment either at West
Point. or the Naval Academy.

The average "career seeker" is not
aware of the fact that the secretary of
the navy is authorised to select one
hundred men each year to enjoy the
advantages of this institution.

The United States government
realizes that its defense the enlistment
of men with good mental and physi-
cal abilities is essentiai. Those who
possess these qualifications and are no
less than sixteen. nor more than
twenty years of age will be eligible to
appointment as candidates provided
that enlistment in the navy took place
before August 1 of the year in which
entry into the academy is to be con-
sidered. Ones admitted physical.
mental and technical training is given
calculated to help in the qualifying ex-
aminations. Selections or appointees
are competitive and the training ex-
tends over a period of four years.

After graduation. activa service in
the navy for four years is compulsory
and at the end a return to civil life can
be effected through resignation. Thus
it can be readily seen that the service
does not mean to be an act of patriot-
ism only but also an opportunity to
first-clan training of both mind and
body. Perhaps there are some think-
ing young men who :will answer when
"Chance”. is booth; at the door.-

Farm Hand said to Have Admitted Killing and Disposing

Murderer Tried to Avert Snspiaon by Posing
as Special Officer Investigating Killing.

 

Sweetheart—

 

TOPSTONE, July 9.—John Dondone, Topstono farmhand. accord.
ing to the state police, has confessed that he murdered George Bolts.
farm laborer and country recluse of the some pretty, sparsely settled
country village. Feminine influence to crime was innooently lent by
Mary Mash-ism of 108 Elm street. Danbury. the slayer's comely
“girl." Halts was murdered last May 4, and Umpswaug Lake, Top-
stone. gave up its cruelly beaten dead a week later.

For nearly sixty days state police-
men. facing what at first had the dis-
couraging aspect of an unfathomable
mystery, patiently and with cunning
persistence pieced together isolated
incidents of seeming insignificance.
and carefully wove a clrcumstancial
not about Dondone.

Certain it had no loopholes. they
placed the farm youth under arrest:
last Friday. Just before mid night.
Saturday. came the denouncement.

The amazed reserve with which
Dondone had unflinchingly faced sus~
piclons directed at him shortly after
the murder: the callousness that per-
mitted of his pursuing his ordinary
work every day in the very neighbor-
hood where he had killed a. man with

fiendish savagery not surpassed in
Connecticut criminal history: and
the extraordinary braggadocio that

prompted him. the murderer. to mas‘
querade covertly as a "special investi-
gator" of the state police department
and interview sundry persons pretends
ing a. public-spirited desire to un-
ravel the terrible secret that was
known to no man but himself, all col-
lapsed.

Dondone was incapable of lighting
of! the awful effects of the strain un-
dergone by a man ,whose mind for
months has been tortured by recurring
visions of a bloody murder he had
done. and who must for hours face s.
bomlmrdment of questions: tan-
tallzingly deconstructed descriptions
of the manner of his criminal deed and.
the clever deductions. graphically put
to'him. and based on tell-tale clues
that seem to shout aloud of his guilt.
which are put with the artful sagacity
of men wellwersed, in the mental per-
plexities of guilty men who vow in-
nocence.

He collapsed Saturday night and.
said his past denials had been so many
glib lies. To Sergeant Virelll. of the
state police department. who has had
charge of the investigation. and his a5¢
eistant. State Policeman John Kelly. in
active charge of field inquiries. Don-
done is credited to have made the sen-
sational admission that he killed Holtz.

State's Attorney E. Earle Garlick
said last night he could not permit the
release of Dondone's signed and de-
tailed statement outlining the per-
petration of the murder and the
motlving forces back of it, until he
had conferred at length today with
State police on all aspects of the case.

Dondone was in love with Miss
Mastriani, it is asserted. and wanted to
marry her. He had foolishly bragged
to her and her brothers that his wealth
exceeded $6.000. Also he needed cash
