DOC WILSON IN GOOD SPIRITS.

He Repeats That He is the Son ol Philip Moen - Some Facts About Doc and His Birth as Gained From His Family. PROVIDENCE, R. l., Dec. 3.-ssDoc" Levi Wilson this morning appeared to be in ex- cellent physical and mental cond ition, mani festing no signs of insanity or even external excitement. He reiterated his statement as l to the truth of the report of his conversation in regard to his claim to be Moen's son, but took exceptions to some of the allegations in 1 the account of the interview in the office of George J. West as we'll as to great deal that has been published in other papers, de- claring that not mors than seventy-fve per cent of it was true. In relation to the state ment of George w. Hobbs, of Uxbridge, he said that he had never asserted that MT. Hobbs had papers in his possession going to
 prove his (Wilson's) paternity and that his
 denial was therefore gratuitous. The papers
 were or had been in the possession of his
 reputed mother, the wife of Jonas Wilson,
 and had never been in the hands
 of Hobbs In regard to the other remarks of
 Hobbs affecting his general conduct Wilson accounts for them by saying that Hobbs was
 a political worker for W. W. Rice, the broth er-in-l law of Moen and under the influence of
 Moen. He reiterated the statement that in 8 short time he would be prepared to make full disclosure of the facts in his possession that would establish that he was the son of Philip L. Moen beyond any doubt or ques- tion. Until that time he desired to be let alone by the reporters. --
 well known resident of Uxbridge says of Levi Wilson: 'Levi Wilson is subject to fits. Some time ago he had a lawsuit with Mrs. Bradford, then residing at North Uxbridge, but now of Worcester. He became excited and drew 8 pistol upon her, and ex- plained that episode by declaring that he had a fit at the time and that his head was troubling him. Wilson came here when he was about 16 or IT years of age and worked bobbin boy for year or two. He then went to Webster, where he was 8 stable boy. From there he went to Worcester and three or four years later came back to Uxbridge and set himself up as veterinary surgeon, and issued his business cards to that effect
 He dealt in horses, hardware and every thing else and was quite a speculative genius. He brought great deal of money with him from Worcester and paid up all his bills. The first year, l think, he had $10, 900, but after that the checks came thick and fast for $3,0O0 and $4 ,000 each. The bank people autographed to Moen- to ascer- tain if they should pay these checks, not knowing what to make of them, and re- ceived the reply that they were all Straight. Wilson had to indorse those checks. to get the money, and he could write his name then if he could not in-r his testimony on that score. I know that Wilson does not look like his sisters, but he was the exact picture of Charlie Wilson, his brother, who is now dead. The reason for the resemblance of Wilson to his sisters is that, as I believe and as think Wilson has told me, there are two sets of children, and he is half brother to the girls. Wilson was a reckless man. He built the hotel in this place and revamped the old one at to- tai cost of ,000 and sold it for $29, ,O0O The house at Uxbridge cost SIS, ,000 and was sacrificed for $S, ,0OO."
 In view of ssDoc" Wilson's statement made in Providence Thursday to the effect that his two sisters, Mrs. Downs and Mrs. Young, lived in Birmingham and Ansonia, inquiries were made yesterday. Mrs. Downs, whom Doe" Wilson says is his sister, residing iD Derby, was found yesterday morning, but refused to be interviewed. Her husband, Wm. A. Downs, said: s'We have nothing to say about the case. Mrs Downs is the woman whom Doc calls his sister, but no statement from us as to the facts of the case shall be di- vulged. Mrs. Young, another sister, never lived here. She resides in Putnam. Doc has brother residing in Rockville and sis ter and mother at East Thompson. There are twelve children in the family. I do not know the residences of them all Mrs. Downs is sick and will not see you. She would not tell you anything if she was we'll"
 Downs was married seventeen years ago in Seymour, where his wife had sister at that nlc iT, Birmingham for two days. He then claimed to be in the wire fence business.
 PUTNAM, Ct. Dec. 3.-Mrs. Jeremiah Young of Danielsonville, sister of "Doc" Wilson, says she remembers his birth at North Oxford, thirty four years ago, she Jonas William Wilson, and her mother had as the fruit of their marriage twelve children, five sons and seven daughters. These are as follows: William Jonas, now in Rockport, Ct; George Jonas, in Boston: Charles w. in Worcester; Henry who died about nine years agoin Danielsonville, and Levi, known as stDoc" Wilson. The daugh- ters ere Emily Rice, now living in Uxbridge, Harriet Leland, who died in Dayyille, Ct.; Mary Owns of Birmingham Ct; Josephine Sheppen of Dudley, Mass; Nellie Hoyle of East Thompson, Ct; Mary E., who died in infancy, and Miranda A. Young, now living in Danielsonville. Their mother after their fathers death married one Porter of East Thompson, Ct, where she is now living. A sister of Mrs. Porter and the widow of Jonas Wilson's brother John resides in Danielson- vile, having been twice a widow, her former husband, Levi Fessepden, dying before tte birth of s'Doc." By her request he took the name of his uncle. Another aunt of "Doc's," sister of his fathers the wife of Captain William Clapp, resides in Brooklyn, near by.
