They Got the Worst of II.

street and North Main last evening,
after good deal OF trouble managed
to get their horse and buggy in front OF
a Gladstone avenue car. The men
were under the influence of liquor, and
the result of getting the buggy in front
OF the car, which was going north, was
the smashing or the buggy, decidedly
hard fall for the men and a narrow es'
cape for the horse. The collision caused
great confusion in the car. Several wo-
men screamed and left the car, but the
motorman was promp. and stopped the

Recovery Of Stolen Wheel
Helps the Police.
Completes Chain of Evidence
About the Murderer.
Conviction Almost Certain Even
Without Confession.

Young Lincoln who was with Fred
Strange on the night he was murdered
by Herbert Willis, aud whose wheel was
stolen by Wills and dropped into the
harbor al Bristol, has identified the ma
chine fished op from the bottom as his.
When he reached Bristol he at once exam
ined the frame, which was about all that
was in condition to be identified, and
he easily distinguished the number of
his wheel, stolen on the night of the
murder. He also identified mark in
the frame where the tubing mad buckled
IN an accident with which he had met
some months before the robbery and
of usefulness. The saddle and handle
bars had been removed and the tires
were missing.
They had evidently boen cut awsv.
The machine was badly rusted anu unfit
for further use as a vehicle. Yet this
wheel, and its discovery in the place
where II was found. from evidence which
will be OF vital importance in the trial
OF Herbert Willis fSr the murder of Fred
erick N. Strange. Willis made a confess
sion, and it was taken in writing by
Deputy Chief Cash In the preseuce of wit
nesses. But after he had made the con-
fession Willis declined To sign it.
This left the matter in very peculiar
position. There was loophole thorugh
which Willis.and his counsel could COM
pel.the government to present case just
as strong as though no confession had
been made to secure conviction. Up to
the finding of tLo wheel the police had
no tangible article of evidence 10 connect
Willis with the murder, and there ex-
listed a feeling that after all Willis might
not stick TO his confession and that
the case might have to be tried on
circumstantisl evidence. The dis
covery of the wheel, however, makes
out the case of the Commonwealth so
that II stands without haw. The bicy-
Gle taken from Irving Lincoln was the
only clue positively 10 identify the MUIR
derer, apart from the confession. The
finding of the bicycle in the place where
Willis told the officers he had thrown it
comp letes the proof and confirms the ac-
curSey of the confession, in spite of its
lack OF Wills signature.
Willis has completely broken down at
the Jail in Taunton ana the authorities
are beginning TO feel concerned about
his health. Since making his confession
last Sunday he has grown thln and
weak, while his face is pale and drawn
and lie looks like very sick man rather
than like tho muscular lad of 10 who, a
week ego, gave four officers good tus-
sic when they arrested him. Willis
seems to have suddenly realized the PEN
atty for crime with which he is
charged, and he has expressed great
fear at the prospect of serving a life
term in prison. Willis mother, who was
in ill.health at the time OF the arrest, is
completely prostrated by the affair and
great anxiety is felt for her recovery.
