MYSTERY ' SURROUNDS DEATH
OF LAWRENCE CAVENER OF

Tl
Poet Mortem Investigation to Be
Made Coroner Said Accidental
Drowning.
Kinston, April 10. Two theories
are entertained relative to the find
ing of the body of Lawrence Cavener,
a young planter, in a lake known as
the Panther Hill pond in Duplin
county. Caveuer may have been ac
cidentally drowned as the verdict of
the coroner's jury stated or been the
victim of foul play. The body will
be taken Up for a post mortem inves
tigation not made when the coroner
viewed it.
Cavener attended a circus per
formance at Pink Hill Saturday
night and disappeared immediately
afterwards. He was sober. A cap
was found floating on the water be
neath the mill house which projects
out over Panther pond. It was iden
tified as Cavener's. J. T. Sutten, a
merchant, found the body submerged
at the end of a pier. There were no
apparent signs of violence.
It has developed that Cavener had
had trouble with other youths- in
Pink Hill Saturday and that they had
sought to engage him in an encoun
ter which it is believed he averted
People who think foul play was re
sponsible for the tragedy believe he
was followed several miles to the is

WHICH RAMMED THE BARK,
BRINGS SURVIVORS.
DEAD CAPTAIN PICKED UP
Two Men Went IKmn With The Ship
Accident Due to Minty Weather
and Poor Lights
Newport News, Va., April 10.
Bringing the dead body of the cap
tain and 11 survivors of the crew of
the Norwegian bark Orellan, which
she rammed and sunk off Barnegat,
N. J., Wednesday night at 10 o'clock
the American steamer Peter H. Cro-
well arrived last night from Boston
The 11 survivors which include one
woman, wife of the first mate, were
picked from the water by the Cro
well's boats after their own boats,
two in number, had been swamped
The captain was dead when picked
up. Two men went down with the
Orellan.
Details of the wreck were hard to
obtain, as the Crowell had not dock
ed and will not land the survivors
until today. Captain A. L. Kent
shore captain for the t'rowell and
Thurlow Steamship Company, of
Boston, owners of the Crowell, and
Captain Vail, of the steamer, refused
to give out any information concern
ing the collision. The only authentic
information obtainable was secured
from Norwegian Consul M. M. Rich
ardson, to whom a report of the dis
ter was made, but who has not. yet
been supplied with the names of the
survivors or the two men who went
down with the bark.
Captain Vail reported to Consul
Richardson that the collision occur
red during misty weather and was
due to the poor lights displayed by
the Orellan. The Crowell struck the
bark while steaming almost at full
speed. The wooden ship filled rapid
ly and fifty minutes after Ix-in;;
struck sank in 17 fathoms of water.
In his report, Captain Vail said
that great confusion prevailed aboard
the bark following the crash. Cap
tain Johannsen, loosing control of his
men entirely. The sailors, after Cap
tain Johannsen and the mate had
succeeded in getting the latter's wife
into one of the boats, piled Into them,
there being but two launched, so
wildly that both were swamped. In
the meantime the Crowell was stand
ing by, and Captain Vail immediately
ordered his lifeboats lowered and
Captain Johannsen, the woman and
10 men were picked up. The sea
was calm and rescue work was com
paratively easy.
Captain Johannsen, who was 65
years old, was dead when taken in
one of the rescue boats, and Irs death
is thought to have been due to heart
disease aggravated by the excite
ment of the wreck. Two members of
the crew failed to leave in the boats
and went down with the ship.

PREPARING FOR DEATH
Governor (ilynn Has Said He Would
Not Interfere With Electrocutions.
Next Monday.
(By United Press.)
New York, April 10. Friends of
"Gyp the Blood," and the three oth
er gunmen sentenced to die Monday
for the murder of Herman Rosen
thal, planned to make one more effort
to save them from the death chair.
Satisfied that all pleas for reprieve
to Governor Glynn would be useless
the gunmen's well-wishers are ex
pected to appeal to a justice of the
Supreme Court to stay the execution
and grant a new trial on the ground
that fresh evidence has been discov
ered. The gunmen are said to have giv
en up hopes.
New York. April lt. Frantic rel
atives of the four gunmen doomed to
die in the electric chair at Sing Sinp
on Monday for the murder of Her
man Rosenthal besieged the office of
Attorney C. F. G. Wahle yesterday
and begged him to save the prison
ers. With tears streaming down her
cheeks, Mrs. Cirofici, mother of
"Dago Frank," threw herself on her
knees and begged the lawyer to res
cue her son.
Attorney Wahle refused to hold
out any hope to the group that filled
his office when he arrived several
hours ahead of his usual time, but
it is known he has two important
step under consideration. One is
an appeal to Hie Vai'ed States Su
preme Court for an eleventh hour
slay on t lie plea lhai his clients ai-
being di nied their tights as Ameri
can citizens, the other, an appeal for
a stay of execution on the ground
that new evidence has been discov
ered. The second course is the one
more likely to be followed, because
of the fact, that "Dago Frank's"
mother has secured an affidavit froni'
Frank Reo to account for the time
that her son was away from the oth
er gunmen on the night that Rosen
thal was assassinated.
Previous to this Dago Frank had
no evidence to prove his claim that
he left his companions sometime be
fore Rosenthal was killed.
Reo's affidavit declares that he
carried a note to Dago Frank from a
woman saying that she had been ar
rested and asking his aid.
Later in the forenoon Wahle said'
he had decided not to make any ap
peal to the Supreme Court of the
United States in case Governor Glynn
turned down the final plea that he
w ill nia'-e for a reprieve for the four
gunmen.
"This seems to be a matter where
the governor has the sole and final
power," said Wahle. "If he decide
finally and for all time against. a re
prieve the four boys now in Sing;
Sing may begin to make preparations,
to meet their Maker."
Ossining, N. Y., April 10. Behind
the grim walls of Sing Sing prison
yesterday preparations for the execu
tions of the Rosenthal gunmen went
on rapidly while the silence of a
tomb closed down over the men who
will go to their death on Monday.
Until the execution takes place no
information concerning the prisoners
will be given out. Warden Clancy
has warned all the prison officiate
and guards that none must talk.
Only relatives of the condemned
men and their lawyers will be al
lowed to see them.
"We are not going to satisfy any
morbid curiosity," said the warden
yesterday, The last information giv
en out was that the lack suits tc
be worn by the prisoners were being"
finished and that the- electric chairs;'
were being tested by electricianv
