Lieutenant Harris, New York Man, Killed In Action

Son Of City Magistrate Left Law Practice To Go To Front

Added to the steadily growing list of New York men who have made the supreme
sacrifice for their country was the name of First Lieutenant Thomas Addis
Emmett Harris, son of City Magistrate Charles N. Harris, who was included in
the casualty list of yesterday as being among those killed in action. The
you lieutenant who left his law practice to serve his country, was killed on
September 6.

Lieutenant Harris was twenty-eight years old. He lived with his father at
120 East Seventy-seventh Street. He was graduated from Georgetown
University and later studied law, both at Harvard and Columbia law schools.
When there was trouble along the Mexican border, the young soldier, then a
member of Squadron A, New York National Guard, went with his command and
remained until the troops were ordered home.

There was a generous percentage of New York mens names sprinkled through
yesterdays casualty list. Several were enlisted men, but the majority were
those who had been taken into the National Army by way of the selective
service.

Joseph M. Dunnigan, corporal, a brother of state senator John J. Dunnigan,
was killed in action on July 15. He was first reported as missing on that
date, but the list of casualties, made public yesterday, contained his name
among those who had been killed.

Two days before he left for France Corporal Dunnigan and Miss Margaret
Crankshaw, of 134 Grove Street, Brooklyn, were married by the Rev. James H.
Dunnigan, another brother, who was chaplain at the aviation field at Garden
City Long Island. Yesterday Father Dunnigan celebrated a requiem mass for
his soldier brother in the Church of St. John Chrysostom, Hoe Avenue, and
167th Street, The Bronx.

Carl S. Winkler, private, twenty-two years old, of 166 Lefferts Place,
Brooklyn, died in a hospital in Paris as a results of wounds he received.
His last message to his mother, just before he died, which he intrusted to a
friend was: Tell my mother I will meet her at the golden gate.

A brother of the dead soldier, Cyrus Winkler, twenty-six years old, has
asked his draft board for special permission to join the marines. Although
in a deferred class, the young man declared yesterday that he felt he must
go at once to the front in an effort to avenge the death of his brother.

George E. Duffy, corporal, of Company K, 165th Regiment, who was killed in
action on July 29, fought and died that a son who had never seen might live
in a country that was forever freed from the menace of an autocratic power.
A few days before he was killed Corporal Duffy wrote his wife:

Little Georgie will not be governed by an autocratic power if I have my
way. And if I should lose out, there are many others who are of the same
determination as myself.

Corporal Duffy was twenty-one years old and lived at 2099 Third Avenue. He
enlisted in the old 69th Regiment when this country severed diplomatic
relations with Germany.

Charles A. Connelly, sergeant, twenty-five years old, who was killed in
action on July 28, lived with his mother at 359 West Fifty-Third Street. He
enlisted in the old 69th Regiment some years ago and saw service on the
Mexican border. Before the war he was an attendant at the Museum of Natural
History. Two other brothers, now in the service, are in France. One was
recently discharged from a hospital after recovering from being (smeared).
