Death of James H. Mulvey

Providence, R. I., Aug. 2—James H. Mulvey, of 1059 Narragansett Boulevard, Edgewood, who had been associated with the Theodore W. Foster & Bro. Co., manufacturing jewelers, 100 Richmond St., in various confidential and executive capacities for the past 14 years, died last Monday night at the Rhode Island Hospital from injuries received when struck by an automobile on Broad St., near Montgomery Ave., on Wednesday of last week. Mr. Mulvey was crossing the street when the automobile struck him hurling him to the ground and rendering him unconscious. He was removed to the hospital in an ambulance where it was found that several bones had been fractured and internal injuries received.

Mr. Mulvey was for several years connected with the Verley Fruit Co., of Jamaica, with offices in New York and this city and when the local office was discontinued Mr. Foster, who was financially interested in the Verley company, engaged Mr. Mulvey to enter the employ of the Theo. W. Foster & Bro. Co. as a cost accountant. That was in 1905 and Mr. Mulvey devoted himself to the duties of that position for several years, later being made assistant superintendent of the factory, a position which he held at the time of his death.

He was a son of the late James H. and Maria Mulvey and leaves a wife and several children. He was a member of the Holy Name Society of St. Paul’s R. C. Church, Edgewood, and of Providence Council No. 95, Knights of Columbus.

Man Arrested in Providence Jewelry Building and Held as a Suspicious Person Sent to Jail on Charge of Assault

PROVIDENCE, R. I., June 5.—James Kennedy, 25 years old, who was arrested some time ago in the building occupied by the Theodore W. Foster & Bro. Co., silversmiths and manufacturing jewelers, 100 Richmond St., and held as a suspicious person, has been sentenced by Judge Howard B. Gorham in Sixth District Court to 10 days in the Providence County Jail at Howard, on each of two charges for assault.

At the time of his arrest Kennedy was discovered in an upper hallway of the building late in the afternoon by Axel Olsen, superintendent of the Foster company’s plant, apparently endeavoring to hide. Failing to obtain any satisfactory reply from the man, Mr. Olsen called for assistance, as the man started to escape down the stairway, pushing the latter violently aside when he tried to detain the intruder.

Attracted by the commotion, Mr. Foster and others hastened to the scene, but Kennedy succeeded in eluding them, and reached the lower hallway, where he was intercepted, however, by the elevator operator, Antonio Tolino, who seized and attempted to hold him. In the struggle that followed Kennedy is alleged to have kicked Tolino in the abdomen, inflicting internal injuries that were, for a time, considered of a serious nature. Pending the outcome, Kennedy was held in jail without bail.

When arraigned in Sixth District Court, he pleaded not guilty, claiming that he was under the influence of liquor at the time and had no knowledge or recollection of what occurred. He was later given a trial, as the result of which he was adjudged guilty and sentenced to imprisonment.
