a as a a Former State Senator Suecumbs at Session Of Grand Jurors While participating In a spirited debate, former State Senator Reuben L. Oledhili slumped forward In his chair and died at a meeting of the Kings County Grand Jurors Association last night in the Felony Courtroom of the Central Courts Building, 120 Schermerhorn St. Members of the association rushed to his side and tried to revive him. A physician was summoned from Holy Family Hospital, but Mr. Oledhlll failed to respond to first aid treatment.

Dr, Lorenzo Orland, who arrived with an ambulance, said the former Senator apparently had died almost immediately of a heart attack. George H. Trumpler, president of the association, in announcing Mr. Gledhill's death to those present declared: "He was a grand old man who loved to debate and died doing so. The meeting was immediately adjourned.

Objected to Procedure Mr. Gledhlll, who was chairman of the nominating committee for the election of officers scheduled for last night, rose to object to the reading by Mr, Trumpler of the list of candidates containing an addi tional nomination made by mail. in nis oDjection, the former Sen ator contended that the usual parli amentary procedure was for the nominating committee to present its slate and then to have members make additional nominations from the floor. William R. Petze rose to suggest J.

Howard Field as an alter nate candidate for vice president and announced that he had six proxies for his nominee. Jumped io Feet Jumping to his feet again. Mr. Gledhlll wanted to know If Mr. Petze's proxies had been witnessed by a notary.

When he was informed they were not. the former Senator objected. Mr. Trumpler ruled in favor of Mr. Petze, but to arbitrate the rul ing, United States Attorney Michael F.

Walsh, who was present as a guest, was called upon to examine the proxies and to rule on their le gality. Apparently satisfied. Mr. Gled hlll sat down. No sooner had he done so than his head drooped and his' body pitched forward in the chair.

A charter member of the associa tion, Mr. Gledhlll was president of the group in 1935. He was 73 years old and served in the State Legislature 30 years ago. Born in Man hattan in 1865, he has lived in Brooklyn since 1870. He maintained a chemical business under the name of Gledhlll ic Son at 1128 E.

26th where he lived. Sponsored Teachers Bill During his term in office under the then Gov. Charles E. Hughes, he introduced the Teachers Equal Pay bill and the first bill for the establishment of a Brooklyn colkge. in 1909 he introduced an amend ment to the city charter to enable the city to condemn and acquire the property of the New York Terminal Company at the foot of Broadway, to establish a municipal ferry line between Williamsburg and Roose- elt Grand St.

and E. 23d Manhattan. Twice Republican leader of the 6th A. Mr. Gledhill was a mem ber of the Aurora Grata Lodge, the oewara KepiiDllcan Congress and Lincoln Republican clubs; Franklin Encampment, St.

John and Malta. and the G. W. Wright Republican 1-1UD. He Is survived by his widow, son.

Alfred R. Gledhlll. and daughter, Mrs. Harry E. Brooks, Services Are Held or Slain Convict A solemn requiem mass was said today in St.

Teresa's R. C. Church, 50th Ave and 48th Woodslde, for Matthew Kane, 41-year-old Sing Sing convict, who died at the prison hospital Tuesday of stab wounds inflicted by an unidentified prisoner. Only a few persons attended the services, Including a sister and his mother, Mrs. Theresa Kane, who remained in an automobile outside the church.

She and other relatives accompanied the body to St. John's Cemetery for burial, Sing Sing Prison officials are still probing Kane's death. A previous ttempt on his life caused the death of John F. O'Hara, 26-year-old credit analyst of Dun and Bradstreet, who was ambushed and shot down by gunmen as he was about to enter the apartment house at 48-10 44th Woodslde, on Nov. 18.

Police believe that the gunmen mistook O'Hara for Kane. Kane's mother was a resident of the apartment house and Kane was supposed to be going there after his release that day on parole from Auburn Prison. FORECLOSURES SUPREME COURT.

He also played in the Grand Street Follies of 1924, toured the United States and Canada in vaudeville, and in 1917-18 worked in silent motion pictures for Hal Roach.

Trained as a contortionist, he toured Europe with his parents until he was 16. Before he was 18 he obtained his start as a clown by taking the place of one who was ill.

He had performed before the late Czar Nicholas, Kaiser Wilhelm, the late King George and Queen Mary. Unlike his contemporaries, Mar-celine Orbes and Slivers Oakley, both of whom were penniless when they ended their own lives, Toto saved his earnings.
