Newark, N. Jr, Feb. 9. Accused as an accessory to Miss Hazel Herdman, who killed his wife and later commit ted suicide, Charles I. Manning to day was held in custody while funer al services were held ovl r the bodies of the love tragedy's two victims. From his cell Manning arranged for the funeral of his wife, while Ar thur J. Herdman, the Pompton turn pike inn keeper, claimed the body of his daughter and arranged for its burial. Miss Herdman in her dying state ment attempted to exonerate Man ning but. Chu at Police Long says that evidence has been obtained tending to show that he. was an ac cessory and that he took Miss Herd man in his automobile to Newark before the murder was committed. Manning made no effort to escape. On Saturday morning he drove with Miss Herdman to Newark and viewed the body of his wife in a morgue. After Miss Herdman had taken poi son he carried her in his machine from Bloomfield to the hospital in Montclair and later drove with the girl's mother and sistgr to the hos pital where he was taken into cus tody. The police today detained Mrs. Sa die E. Garrabrants, sister of Man ning, with whom he has lived since his separation from his wife and she i.s being held as a material witness. Thee harge of murder against Man ning, the ' police stated, was decided upon today after the accused man had been questioned at intervals since late Saturday. Statements made by two women and a voung man who were also brought to police head quarters influenced the police , to make the charge. One of . thes; wit-. nesses was Mrs. Garrabrants. Mannings fate may depend upon the contents of the letter which Hazel Herdman wrote to him before she took poison on Saturday. While published extracts of the girl's letter which Manninj turned over to the police in no way implicate him. the police intimated today that it con tained certain references which war- ranted them in holding him as a pos- i riihl v nnAnr-nt hr n tr nnJ r tf am tv-wnsii.u- lor the apparent short- T "- ai v obtained "by a system o' bii-i'ii::: ''-r- drafts, property and vr-m" !i f.-n-h a way as to deceive iio tH:tof ami to conceal his ma-ii'n'ilat.j...ju.- i.iif. total amount of 'iivi, it a as alleged he lost in suec h'by.t "Thf pption places the liu ' ..! the bank at approximate !"
