POLICE HAD WARNED HIM TO LEAVE HER Convict Husband’s Letters Show Growing Mistrust and Murder Is Regarded as His Vengeance. “Son, give up that woman. She's the wife qf a gangster, and he'll reach out from prison to kill you.” This prophetic warning given by Police Captain Dineen last July to Jack Barrett Jr., a young workman with a clean record, was fulfilled early yesterday when his bullet- riddled body was found in the snow at Melrose avenue and Jen- nings road, St. Louis County. Beside him was Mabel Rob- inson, wife of “Chippy” Robinson, once the “boss killer” of the Egan gang and now a convict in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Woman’s Sobs Draw Officer, She was sobbing loudly when a Deputy Constable; attracted by her screams, came on the scene at 3:30 a.m. But «ven in that moment of apparent grief she still remembered her gang ethics. She had _ seen nothing, knew nothing, had heard nothing. She told officers her name was Mabel Meyer and gave a fictitious address. She said she was 27 years old—that much of her story was correct—and admitted that the vic- tim of her leve affair was five years her juntor. In the pocket of the young man was found a card which identified him—Jack. Bar- rett Jr., a steamfitter’s helper, of 4576 North Market street. Investigation | today seemed to point ‘to the Blue Front Cafe, a roadhouse on Natural Bridge road in Pine Lawn, as the scene of the shooting. Deputy Sheriffs found bloodstains on the doorstep and a .45-caliber shell from an automatic not far from the door. John Cuddy, proprietor of the place, is sought for questioning. It was when police of the Deer Street District were called to notify Barrett’s family yesterday that Capt. Dineen came into the case. He recalled the name as that of the tall, clear-eyed youth whom his men had arrested last summer with Mrs! Robinson. As Barrett was re- leased after being held only a few hours, Dineed had delivered his warning. ‘ Capt. Dineen Gave Warning. “She got you arrested this time,” he had said. ‘“You’ve never been arrested before. Stay away from her and out of other mischief and you'll be all right.” Dineen’s immediate conclusion that the woman at the Clayton jail —Mabel Meyer—was really Robin- son’s “wife, was verified by a visit to her cell. When he called her by name she stared at him without ap- parent recognition, but in a few moments‘burst into tears and ad- mitted her identity. Even then, however, she main- tained her tearful and sometimes hysterical denials that she knew anything of the killing. “I don't know,” was her reply to every question. In her flat at 4416A Easton ave- nue, next door to the home of her mother, Mrs. Mollie Powell at No. 4420, Capt. Dineen found evidences that young Barrett had lived there for a time at least. There were clothes with the laundry mark “J. B.” and there was a blurred snap- shot of Barrett on the dresser. There were reminders, too, that t flat was that of Robinson’s wife. Another photo bore the like- nesses of the late Willie Egan, who was succeedéd as head of the Egan gang by “Dinty’’ Colbeck, another figure in the picture. Letters From COonvict Husband. In & trunk Capt. Dineen found three suits which once had beén worn by “Chippy” and _ scattered about the room were his letters from the penitentiary, largely pro- testations of love for his wife, couched in_ simple, unlettered phrases but written in the script of a penmanship instructor. There was only indirect evidence that he was begining to suspect his wife of infidelity, a suspicion that he has conveyed to various friends in plainer language. “Your letter has been delayed by somebody,” he wrote on Nov. 15,.“Baby you know I want a letter from you every day. One of your letters was dated Nov. 12, but its postmark said Nov. 14.” In afiother letter he wrote of his preservation of cheerfulness even though release from the penitenti- died here today. ; : a 4 on Page 3, Column 1.

Copyright. 1926, by the Press and Pulitze: Publishing Cos. (New Yora World and Post-Dispatch.) BIARRITZ, France, Nov. 22.— With magnificent ceremony, ac- cording to the picturesque rites of +the Russian Orthodox Church, Miss Audrey Emery became the bride of the Grand Duke Dmitri, cousin of the late Czar of Russia, yesteray. The bride is the daughter of the late John J. Emery of Cincinnati. The civt! ceremony took place a few days ago. The leade?fs of Paris society were present, packing the tiny church until it seemed the walls must burst. The wedding was not timed to take place until 4 p. m., but by 3 o’clock, while workmen were still tacking carpet of the stairs leading to the chapel, the first guests arrived. There were no seats and the first arrivals arranged themselves stand- ing around the walls, which meas- ure about 40 by 40 feet. The altar screen was closed and the five great candles before it were _ yet unlit. While the guests drifted in an attendants appeared and _ kin- dled the bundle of strings tied into one taper hanging from the big chandelier overhead and a mulfi- tude of candles blazed, at once. Electric lights flashed from behind the follage on the walls. The whole place blazed with light. Guests Talk About Decorations. Meanwhile, the guests chatted and discussed the scenic details, the yellow chrysanthemums around the walls, the pink begonias piled at the corners of the altar screen. Soon there was such a_ crowd there was no room to move. The ushers pushed the guests. back, clearing a small cone-shaped space at the center, with the wide end to- ward the altar. At five minutes before 4 the ushers cleared a narrow passage through which the Grand Duke ep- peared, in morning coat, double collar and gray silk tie. He stood four paces from the reading desk, back to the entrance, and wait24 nearly 10 minutes, nodding at friends and mastering obvious nerv- ousness. At last the bride appeared on the arm of her stepfather, Alfred An- son. Her train was held by her brother. Her beautiful, rosy, oval face was framed by a splendid lace mantilla covering the head, fas- tened over the ears with little bunches or orange blossoms. From her neck hung a magnificent long diamond pendant. The American bride was quite self-possessed. She greeted the Grand Duke as she might have spoken to an old friend on the street. Together they waited white her mother, in a beautify! coffeze- brown silk gown, sat on a chair in front of the crowd. Near her were seated the Princess Pauley with her daughters and the Grand Duchess Marie, the bridegroom’s sister. All the others stood. Metropolitan Leads Priests. Suddenly from the choir burst a hymn, while from the doors on either side of the altar came six clergy, headed by Metropolitan Ev- loksky of Paris, head of all the Russian orthodox churches in Eu- rope. He wore scarlet vestments with a huge gold crown surmount- e¢ by a cross. Of the others, one was in all gold vestments with gold gauze crown, One in red and one in black without crowns, and two in black vestments with purple velvet crowns. The gold-clad priest bowed to the bride and bridegroom and turned his back tothem. When the hymna was finished he intoned e prayer, and the black bareheaded ‘priest brought forward and handed to the bride and bridegroom two lighted candles bound with lilies of the val- ley. These they held throughout the ceremony. Crowns Held Above Couple. Another hymn, another prayer, and the same priest brought far- ward two starlet and gold crowns which he handed to the gold-clad priest who bowed to the coupje and carried the crowns toward the couple. Behind each in files stood five men. The first two fixed a kind of fork inside the crowns and held them over the couple’s heads Continued en Page 2, Columpa 5.

The case of the former Cabinet officer and the multimillionaire oil man will be decided by a business man, two salesmen, a commercial artist, an architect, an express driver, three clerks, a machinist, an electrician and a restaurant stew- ard. It required three-hours and 29 minutes to draw the jury, counsel examining 27 men before the Gov- ernment and defense counse) were satisfied. Government counsel requested that the jury be locked up during the trial. The request was made privately at the bench, but counsel! for Fall demanded that the motion be presented by the Government lawyer in open court. here was a brief recess while ernment counsel conferred as to their course. . Would Keep Jury Together. Owen J. Roberts of Government counsel then moved that the jury be kept together during the trial.
