William Jennings Bryan once asked him for an original cartoon Sykes had drawn of him; Sykes sent it, with a note: "Cartoonists all over the country secretly admire you . . . because without you our work would be much more difficult."

Died. Mrs. Frances Noel Stevens Hall, 68, principal figure in the most exploited murder trial of the '20s, the Hall-Mills case; in New Brunswick, N.J. For weeks in 1926 as many as half a million words a day were written by reporters about the trial. She and her two brothers were tried and acquitted of the murder of her husband, the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, seven years younger than she, and his choir leader (and mistress), Mrs. Eleanor Mills, 33, wife of the sexton, who were found shot to death in a lovers' lane. Plump, dignified, pince-nezed Mrs. Hall outlived the local novelty of her notoriety, in her last years walked abroad without even drawing stares.

Died. Walter Patten Murphy, 69, often called "richest bachelor," boxcar manufacturer (Standard Railway Equipment), donor of Northwestern University's $6,735,000 Technological Institute; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles. He built a fortune estimated at $80,000,000 on his development of a corrugated steel end for boxcars. He kept his private life so private that when he made his gift to Northwestern in 1939 the university had to look him up in Who's Who to find out who he was.
