MILLIONAIRE DEATH MYSTERY.

JURY DISCHARGED IN NEW YORK.

EDGAR WALLACE ON THE

CASE.

RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.

BISHOP'S WARNING.

Opening a debate on the report of the Archbishops' Committee on Religious Education, the Bishop of Liverpool (Dr. David), at the Who killed Arnold Rothstein, the Liverpool Diocesan Conference last month said that one of the chief millionaire gambler of New York, a

was that Parliament' should pass a ducting the trial of George Mc-one-clause bill empowering local Manus, one of his former associates, education as they might think fit who was acerred of murdering him, for, religious instruction for all stopped the trial recently, and or dered McManus to be discharged. The balling crime is discussed in the following article by Mr. Edgar Wallace, England's leading crimino- logist, which appeared in the Daily Express, Mr. Wallace the opening stages of the trial, and is

innocence convinced of the

of McManus, and suggests new theory to account for the killing...

Mr. Edgar Wallace writes:-

Jaw

&

I saw the jury sworn in for the McManus case, and also made sery careful examination of the

evidence,

Judge Nott, in ordering the ver dict of Not Guilty," took the only stop possible. There was never n case that came into the criminal court in New York that was based on so little evidence. If it had been tried in England, the charge would have been dismissed by the grand jury.

There was no proof whatever that Rothstein was killed in any room in the Park Central Hotel. The aug Restion that a man with a bad abdominal wound could descend four storeys and walk the length of a block is not supported by the medi- cal faculty.

It is an open secret in New York that Rothstein was killed by a "hophead," that is to say, a dope fiend, to whom he owed an insigni- ficant sum of money.

Shot in Street?

It is the general opinion that McManus had left the room in the Park Central Hotel where the game of poker is said to have been play- ed long before the murder war com- mitted. Rothstein was probably shot on the street. The pistol was found on the sidewalk, where it could not possibly have been thrown from an upstairs window,

in accordance with the religion of their parents, notwithstanding the Frohibition of the Cowper-Temple

clause.

"You cannot wipe out history,'"' declared Dr. David. "Ought we, alter all that has happened in the last sixty years including the crea tion of a vast educational organisa- tion and our troubles with the Non- conformists, to say we ought never to have agreed to the Cowper- Temple clause! If we cancel that clause it will mean at least ten years of bitter sectarian strife, We shall antagonise the people we are striving and seeking to work with now; we shall be thrown into a barren controversy during which many other causes will be held up, and no single conflicting body.. neither we nor the Roman Catho- lica, nor anybody else, will get what we want. Even if Parliament pass. ed the bill no local authority would adopt it, for they are not engaged on a predigious task of reorganisa- tien.".

The church schools repre- sented a real tradition, and a real form of educational service. They could not lose the church schools. without a real loss to the country. They regarded as most important the establishment of religious peace. If there was to remain one great national scheme of education it was of the utmost importance the should not begin to alienate those with whose co-operation they desired to

There was no question but that McManus was gambling, and that Rothstein lost. But there is a very big doubt if McManus was in 'the hotel or near it when the murder was committed.
