Bank books found at Stenton house tied to murder case
Fifteen more bank deposit books showing a $10,000 credit to Mrs. Stenton were found in a secret drawer of the old Stenton mansion at 189th Street and Washington Avenue where Mrs. Stenton's daughter Mrs. Alice Kinnan was murdered ten days earlier. Detectives sought the weapon used in the Kinnan killing as they combed the house, with previous finds of $16,000 in bank books. A letter to a Times reporter claimed the killer was a man named Girard aboard a coal boat at New Rochelle, but the sender offered little corroboration. Mrs. Stenton remains under watch at 2464 Briggs Avenue.
