              Violet C. See, 79, Poet of the L.I. Scene

    North Bellmore- Violet C. See, 79, a poet and contributor to the Nassau Daily Review Star in the 1930s and '40s, died yesterday of a heart attack in Hempstead General Hospital. Mrs. See, who moved to Long Island in 1929 when her late husband, Benjamin, joined the Nassau County police force, was also active in Republican politics.
    Her daughter, Florence Lagnese of 2349 Lafayette St., North Bellmore, said that her mother's first love was writing. " I guess it comes from her ancestors," Mrs. Lagnese said. Mrs. See was a cousin of newspaper publisher E.W. Scripps.
    Between 1931 and 1949, Mrs. See was a regular contributor to the now-defunct Nassau daily. Her daughter said she wrote about Long Island historical sites and famous Long Island personalities. She also had poems published privately.
    A former Nassau County district attorney, Elvin Edward, claimed that one of Mrs. See's poem's, written in 1932 was responsible for his losing a murder case. The case involved a policeman who was being tried for killing a man whom the policeman saw brutally beating his mother. The defense attorney included Mrs. See's poem in his summation and the policeman was acquitted.
    The poem began: What's this talk about a policeman/ Who killed a wicked thug?/ If you were bitten by a spider/ Would you kiss the darling bug?
    Also surviving are two sons, David J. of Hampton Bays and Benjamin J. of Seaford. Funeral services at 11 AM tomorrow at the N. F. Walker Funeral Home in Merrick followed by interment in Greenfield Cemetery, Uniondale.
