MAY HAVE KILLED WILSON.
Philadelphia Detectives Think That
Johnson Committed the Crime.

Johnson Committed the Crime.
The Philadelphia authorities were COM
mmicated with in regard to the Marshall
shooting. soon after it occurred, and later
when it was found that Frank Johnson,
then suspected of having committed the
crime, had been in the Philadelphia house
OF correction, the Quaker City authorities
were struck with the brutality display by
the perpetraLor of the crime, andrecognized
in tie Geed q parallel to the murder OF
William c. Wilson, bookworm, miser and
librarian, about week 90. The Phila-
deiphia police have been working steadily
on the case for weeks. Fully a dozen
persons have been arrested on the charge
OF being implicated in the affair, but no
evidence can be obtained against them.
As soon as ii was learned that johnson
had been in Philadelphia about the time
of the Wilson murder, they immediately
turned their attention to the man. 1t was
learned at the Washington detective br
reau last night that two Philadelphia
sieuthS had called to ask permission u
see Johnson.
1t was stated that they had been at
the First precinct station, where johnson
is confined, but this could not be confirmed.
The ciew that they are working on has
something to do with the pistol owned
by johnson. The prisoner says that he
brought the pistol with him from the
South, but since that time he has been III
the Philadelphia House OF Correction, and
he did not at that time have any weapon
The Philadelphia men, it seems, have
obtained some information about the re
volver and are following up the clew.
The Wilson murder was an extremely
brutal one and for days little else was
talked OF in Philadelp phia. The murdered
man lived at No. lit Walnut street, where
he kept a circulating library. The muir
derer awaited the old mans return from
dinner. At length Wilson returned. he
murderer sprang upon his victim, choked
him, aud then beat his head in with a
hammer. Robbery was the motive.
The Philadelphia detectives will Teinain
in the city and try to get evidence to con
