After his trial in February 1932, he had said: "I'll never live to go to jail."

Died. Marie Cahill (Arthur), sixtyish, famed oldtime musicomedienrie; of heart and kidney disease; in Manhattan. Brooklyn-born, piously reared, she aspired to the stage despite parental misgivings, got a small, part 44 years ago in C. O. D., a better one in A Tin Soldier, began to score personal successes in a series of mediocre productions. Her song "Nancy Brown" made The Wild Rose a smash hit; it was transported bodily to Newport, in mid-run, by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt to amuse Grand Duke Boris of Russia. The following year she appeared in a show named for and built around "Nancy Brown" and married the producer, Daniel V. Arthur. First to employ the talking delivery of songs, she did much to soften the blatant farce of her day by her demure manner, aversion to makeup, floor-sweeping costumes. Always a vociferous foe of scant stage attire, she was particularly outraged by Mary Garden's "Dance of the Seven Veils" in Salome, appealed to President Theodore Roosevelt to stop a "vicious craze." Her last appearance (except for a short turn in vaudeville) was three years ago in The New Yorkers.
