LETTER FROM LIALA RELATES
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
New York, April 30.—Anthony
Fiala, the arctic explorer, who ac
companied Col. Roosevelt into tfte
wilds of South America, had a narrow
escape from death when a canoe in
which he was making his way up an
unknown river in Brazil was over
turned, as told recently. Further de
tails about the accident are contained
letter just received by Mrs. Fiala,
who lives in Brooklyn.
The letter was ailed by her husband
at Manaos, Brazil, late in March. Mr.
Fiala wrote that he had been thrown
into a river of “boiling” water, at a
spot he called the “Rapids of the
Devil,” and would have been drowned
hut for tho timely assistance of a na
five.
The motorcycle policeman appears
to be still on the job, and this morn
ing Alec Davidson, Jr., was on the
docket to answer to a charge of ex
ceeding the speed limit. He was fined
only $3 as it was the first offense.
Lonnie Lay was upon charges of
disorderly conduct and being drunk.
His wife made the case against him,
saying that he had kicked her about
and was brutal in many other ways.
The witnesses in the case were com
posed in the main part of the family,
and they testified to the husbaQd’s
'brutality and to his getting drunk.
I^iy, in making his statement, how
ever, stated that his wife was gov
erned entirely by her relatives and
further that she often left their two-
months-old baby in his care.
Judge Price summed up the trou
ble and said it was due to two facts.
One was that Lay often got drunk,
and was at that time very unruly, and
the second was that his wife was too
much under the influence of her rela
tives. ' '
Under the circumstances, however,
the court found Lay guilty and a fine
of $10 or twenty days was imposed.
