Detectives Get Little Out
Of Him
ABOUT HUTCHINS MURDER
Are in Hope OF Finding Jewelry
Stolen From Chase House.
BROWN Is AT HIS OLD TRICKS.

Wilson is willy md he will have little TO say
TO the prison officials. who feel reasonably
sure that ne could be guilty of the murder o;
young Hatnhins under tue circumstances
attending the o:,smpt TO rob ths house on
Angel street. The detectives are making no
headway with the crook who Ia extremely
cautious As ~ what DO s,ya tnlsss he con
fessss the crime under pysss os circumstances
or is trapped into such confession in the
presence of witnesses, he cannot hs convicted
because thare IL absolutely no sTidenos against
the fellow. potSc,iyo Parker is NOT very
hopeful that wilson and the murderer can
be associated together beyond n reasonable
doubt. IL in the search and Investigation of
what Wilson has been doing for the past two
weeks, something that he has stolen car ho
found. thon something that may make the
officers sure thnt they have the right man
may come 20 light.
They are in hopes Of finding some of the
iewelry stolen from the Chase mausion on
Governor street. IL they do th,n it may be
set down as sure that Wilson was a house
robber on the East Side and that no was the
man who got into the Angel street house and
subsequently, kinsd Mr.. Hutchins. As was
set forth in The News yesterday afternoon,
the detectives are Ct the opinion that Wilson
is just the sort Of criminal 10 FIRE on man IL
he should be cornered in criminal endeavor.
He wss incapable OF running with much speed
and his first impulse would be 10 shoot Wilson
is lame and he would kill man TO obtain
time enough to get away, ana that is the be-
lief now entertained by expert criminal
catchers regarding Wilson and the Hutchins
murder.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Wall stated that
Wilson could be located in the vicinity of the
Hutchins house two days before the murder
and be was of the belief hat hing would
turn up 70 fasten the crime on him. he also
chap most likely 10 do the fearful work.
The very clever and versatile burglar
Brown, who was connected with Wilson in
criminal operations and who is now at the
tricks with the officers there. But he is too
well knownsby them 10 cause much anxiety
He was shrewd enough TO convince everybody
once hat ne was crazy and thereby got hum
self committed TO the state ayum as first
step in his plan for escape His plan worked
well and he got away all fright, but through
New York with some Of his friends at the
Jail, his Whereabouts became known, he was
sppreheDded and brought back with addi-
tional charges neainst him. q
Now IL seems to be his plan 10 play crazy
man again ana he has acted so bodily that it
has been necessary TO keep him in solitary
confinement. de refuses To have anything to
do with the req suits in which the ''soli-
taries" are clad and tears them up a. fast as
they are put on him. He tears around gen
orally and altogether is we'll nigh unmans Qe-
able. But the officers do not pay much atten-
tion to his queer actions, believing that a
good dose OF the solitary" will cause him TO
realize that his days OF successful bluffing
are over, and that when he gets tired Of
playing his part he will come around and be-
have himself. Probably nothing is more con
ducive toward bringing man TO his senses
than a severe letting clone in solitary con
fnement. a very hopneful sign is that he
does not refuse his food and has very good
app petite.
