Sequels

Names make news. Last week these names made this news:

The Men's Club and the Mothers' Club of Baltimore's First Methodist Episcopal Church last week had their annual meeting in Lovely Lane Hall, had as their guest of honor Col. Louis McHenry Howe, President Roosevelt's personal friend and secretary, gave him a scroll acclaiming "The Finest Friendship in America." Excerpt: "Friendship is the fairest and sweetest flower that blooms in the garden of life."

In Memphis, Dr. Edward H. Carey, president of the American Medical Association, stated that just as much iron could be absorbed by the system from sucking a 20-penny nail as from eating a dish of spinach.

Untouchable boys brought honey, other optimistic friends brought other fast-breaking foods to Mahatma Gandhi as he, amazingly well, entered the last week of his 21-day fast.

Sequels

To news of bygone weeks, herewith sequels from last week's news:

P:To the seduction of Socialite Charlotte Gibson of Tappan, N. Y. by Riding Master Sidney Herbert Homewood (TIME, Dec. 19 et seq.): Homewood's arrival at Sing Sing to start a prison sentence of from 18 months to three years.

P:To the indictment of Gaston B. Means for trying to swindle Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean of $35,000 to be used in exchange for "hot" ransom money paid to kidnappers in the Lindbergh case (TIME, May 16, 1932): conviction in the District of Columbia Supreme Court of Means and Co-defendant Norman T. Whitaker.

P:To the life imprisonment of Thomas Mooney on charges of bombing San Francisco's 1916 Preparedness Day Parade in which ten persons were killed: a new trial on one of six untried indictments (TIME, April 3). Convict Mooney expected that acquittal would strengthen his fight for pardon.

P:To the murders of Edward Albert Ridley and his secretary Lee Weinstein in their gloomy subcellar office in Manhattan's Allen Street (TIME, May 22): the arrest of one Arthur J. Hoffman and one George Goodman, accountants, for grand larceny. Working on one of many baffling angles, some of the 65 detectives assigned to the case discovered that Lee Weinstein, who succeeded a previously murdered secretary of Old Man Ridley, had used Accountants Hoffman & Goodman to witness a fake will which the half-blind. 88-year-old eccentric millionaire had been tricked into signing. The will, modeled after that of the late Dwight Whitney Morrow which was published in 1931, bequeathed $200,000 to Weinstein, Hoffman and Goodman were also involved in a deal in which Old Man Ridley was duped into assigning to them and Weinstein $210,000 through the transfer of funds to three dummy corporations. Police had not yet connected Hoffman and Goodman to the double murder. Meantime, Ridley relatives prepared to sue for settlement of the $4,000,000 estate.

P:To the indictment of Bishop James Cannon Jr. on charges of violating the Federal Corrupt Practices Act (TIME, Oct. 26, 1931 et ante): a sustaining decision by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
