MURDERED BY THIEVES.
PhtladeIphian Attacked In . Public
Library.

Il
Library.
philadelphia, Pa. August 16.--Willian G.
| Wilson. aged about IS years, proprietor OF
Wilson's circulating library at 11e Walnut
street, was brutality murdered tonight in
his place Of business. The crime was evil
IDENTIFY committed by thieves, who lay in
walt for their victim. and after numbering
him accomplished their purpose Of robbery.
The weapon used was heavy hammer,
which crashed through Wilson's skull. The
murderers had also drawn towel tightly
across the throat OF their victim, strapg-
ling him After lootiug the place they
made their escape without leaving clew 10
their identity.
Mr.. Wilson had for years conducted the
library at various places and always had
the patronage of the wealthy literary
literary classes. The general impression
was that he had accumulated considerable
money. He rarely mingled with the out
side world and lived alone on the third
story OF his library, twr lower stories
being fitted with books. I he last seen OF
him alive was about $50 o'clock. when he
left the place where he usually got his
meals TO return TO the store. When found
he was lying behind his counter not fifteen
feet from Walnut street. The discovery
was made by a policeman, who found the
back gate OF the house open. He entered
and went through the house. The contents
of bureau drawers and clothes were scat
tered everywhere. showing that robbery
had been done. The hammer was lying
beside the body. This was about o'clock.
The thieves we're evidently acquainted with
their victims movements, and as he had
closed the place and gone to supper they
forced an entrance. Concealed behind
pile OF books In the store, they awaited his
return. He always re-entered by way Of
the store. A heavy blow from the hammer
evidently killed him, but to make sure OF
their work they throttled him with the
towel. Tracks OF blood showed that he
was pulled around pile OF books to a
place behind the counter. This finished,
the robbery was accomplished at leisure.
