Emma Hallowoll, Jenkintown,
Pities Norman Penrose, Who
Killed Brother
PRISONER BEGS FOR CHANCE
TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL
Miss Hmmn Hnllowell. of Jenkin
town. will do her best to save tho life
of Xormnn Penrose, arrested nfl tho

sweetheart.
"Norman hns to fight for his life

girl of medium height, pretty, with un
usually Inruo blut! eves frlnced with
long black lashes. Her hair Is curly
nnd a golden brown. Her eyes weic
red with weeping, and sbo was wnn
with the strain of recont hours.
She was engaged in some simple
household tnsks, trying to distract her
mind from the memory of what had
happened, her mother sitting close by,
when she was seen in the beautiful Hnl
loweil home today. The family Is so
cially prominent in Jenkintown.
Miss Hnllowell spoke with reluctance
of the (.hooting of Itulpli Penrose, wdio
wns thirty yenr.'t old, by bis brother,
who is twenty-six, in their bonrding
house yesterday at Ogontz.
She would not nflirm or deny thnt
she wns engaged to the elder brother.
"Nothing lind been announced." she
said, sobbing. Tt iR rumored In Jenkin
town thnt she and Iialph had been en
gaged and the engagement broken off.
Sobs as She Recalls Crime
She spoke of her friendship for the
two brothers, especially her friendship
lor Unlph. "Our friendship was dif
ferent," she -aid of the dead brother.
"You see, I had (;nnwn Ralph ever
situ e we were children We always
knew each other: we grew up together.
"1 don't know how it hnnpeiied," she
-aid. "I can't understtnd It " Here
-lie broke down acaln, and obb'd
inietlv. She added "I don't want to see
any tiling happen to Norman. I don't
v-anl to see another life taken.
