OF Rue de la Paix Chocolates Mail Orders Filled "Merchandise of cJ Merit Only" Convict, Prison Term Ended, May Never Speak. General Barnett and Major McClellart Witnesses. YEARS MAY BE DUMB MINES B EG MS HEARING DECLARED GOOD Freak Says Tongue Got Him Into Trouble Years Ago, and Dec ade of Silence Follows. Mass., Oct. 27. (Special.) Patrick J. Han ley. recorded at Lynn police headquarters as "Corkey," re turned to this city tonight to greet what old-time friends he could 4:ind, after completing this morning a sen tence in the state prison at Charles town of 25 years for stealing shoes valued a quarter of a century ago at $84. His return was made by au tomobile after a day of sightseeing in Boston, a ride in the subway, an other on an elevated train and later on a steam train. Fascinated by his experiences and the sights he witnessed, all of which were new to him, he failed to break the silence he has maintained for ten years. His talk strike at the prison followed the discovery in his cell of an outfit from which lead half-dollars had been cast, the pieces of "money" being used to pay bets on aporting events held in the prison yard.. "Conversation with Haniey during the trip was carried on by the use of pencil and paper pad. The last mes sage he gave Warden Shaittuck at the prison was "Do not let any one in my : shack. Things worth $10,000 are in ! there." Vaudeville Offer Declined. Just prior to writing that message and while he was donning the suit of civilian clothing: in place of the prison gray, Haniey asked in writing if he could stay ait the prison a few days longer, In order that he might finish up his junk collecting business. Dur ing the last few years he has collected and sold old newspapers, rag's and other articles which might bring him a few cents. He still has some in his shack which the wholesale junk deal er has not taken. In the shack also are five fancy pillow slips worth $5 each, watch fobs and other articles, which Haniey said he would give over to re porters that they might start a museum. Before arriving home tonight Han ley received an offer to go on the vaudeville stage. He agreed to sign a contract and start tomorrow, but his sisters would not agree. They are to keep him at their home in a suburb of Lynn and see that he does not find any of his old-time friends, who have police records. The sisters do not be lieve Lhat he is feigning dumbness. The nearest he came today to speak ing was when .he made a guttural sound as he viewed an airplane Nail ing over Lynn harbor. Haniey was convicted under the habitual criminal act after being found guilty of stealing shoes from the Herrick shoe factory in this city. Twice before he had been convicted of petty larceny. Since his committal to prison the law under which he was sentenced ha been repealed. He 4s 46 years old. During his term in prison his hair has turned white, but he told a re porter tonight that he never felt bet ter. He expects to find a job in a few days, although he has saved consid erable money while in prison and his relatives express a willingness to care for him. Silence Follows Reprimand. Corkey did not becorr.e a human sphinx until after he had been in jail 15 years. There was a baseball game at the prison. Corkey bet a half dol lar on one team. He lost. The prisoner who won found that the half dollar was counterfeit. Cor key's cell was searched and several lead half dollars and a plaster-of-paris mould, were found. Corkey was reprimanded. It was then that he shut up like a clam. He hasn't spoken since. He would not talk today to re porters or warden. All efforts to make him speak were futile. "I'll tell you what I'll do, Corkey," said Warden Shattuck one day, "if you will speak out like a man and ask me to do it I will ask the parole board to grant you a pardon." Corkey grinned, but didn't reply.- He can hear all right, and he an swers all questions by writing upon paper. "Come on. Corkey, speak up," he has been urged. "My tongue has gotten me into too much trouble already." is his stock answer, written, of course. NAVAL VISIT REGULAR Japanese Official Denies Clandes tine Trip of American. TOKIO, Oct. 27.

General Barnett said he wanted it made clear that his letter of last year to Colonel John H. Russell in which the reference was made to "indiscrim inate killing" of natives was based only on the record of the trial. He added, however, that the statement of counsel and testimony in those cases so shocked him that he had directed further investigation. He reiterated that by "indiscriminate killing" he had not meant "promiscuous" kill ings,- but rather execution "without judgment." In marking the letter to Colonel Russell personal and confidential. General Barnett said he had two rea sons. The first was that he had al ready written an official letter to Secretary Daniels covering the case. The second was he did not want it to become "public property." KnawlnlKC I. Denied. "If I were permitted to make a de tailed and chronological statement of events as they happened during the whole- term of our occupation of Haiti." said the general, "I could soon clear this whole thing up." In replying to questions. General Barnett said: he had no personal knowledge of any improper acts by the marines and knew nothing of al leged unlawful executions of natives until he read the reports of the two cases he referred to in the letter to Colonel Russell. One other case, that of "Captain Hamilton, now a lieutenant." he said, "left a bad taste in my mouth, al though the officer had been acquitted by courtmartial."
