A Notorioa As Character Who Once Sued
BarbWire' Moen.
PROVIDENCE. r. l., Jan 20-Much ex-
citement was caused in town Sunday by
the circulation of the report that the ia
nous "Doc" Levi Wilson, of Washburn-
Moen fame, had been found dead in Ari-
zona. The Arizona Republican, of Satur
day, published in Phenix, A.. contains
an account of the fading of Va ccroner's
jury which Investigated the death of a
gambler known as "the New River Crazy
Man" His body was found near Frog
Tank, on the Aqua Fria, and the jury de-
cided that he was "Doc" Wilson, formerly of
this place. Doc Wilson was born of low
and obscure family in the village of Ar
noldtown, Conn.
Married a Beautiful Girl.
Passing his childhood in a oojton-twine
factory, his teens in stable, and his
early manhood as horse doctor and the
landlord of disreputable roadhouse,
near Providence, as one of the richest men
III New England he spent money lavishly,
bought fine horses and equipages, enter
tanned the governors of the state. built a
palatial house at Uxbridge, Mass, and
after various intrigues with women, mar
ried the beautiful Miss Farnum, daughter
OF Caleb Farnum, one of the best known
manufacturers in the Blackstone valley.
The Source of His Wealth.
"Doc" was vulgar and ignorant, but he
had plenty of money, the source of which
for many years was a mystery At length
he began suit against Phillip T. Moen,
the millionaire wire manufacturer of
Worcester. The secret, of course, of Will
sons great wealth was then exposed, for
1t came out that Moen had from time to
time paid doc" immense sums, for what
reason Moen would never disclose
Said He Was Moen's Son.
Wilson said he was Moen's son; that he
was the rightful owner of a barbed wire
patent on which lie was receiving an i'm
mense royalty etc. After losing his last
suit against Moen, the "Doc" attempted
suicide. His wife secured a divorce and
the custody of their two boys on the
ground of cruelty and other charges, and
since then Wilson has been wanderer
though Providence man saw him in New
York year ago. He was still plentifully
supplied with money
