In answer, DR.. Gladmon says, through
his attorneys that ne is unable to pay So
month a,imony without borrowing

the couple would live amfcably or whether
there would be continued wrangling. The
demand for S75 alimony was just in this

THE ABSENT FUNK.
Strenuous Effort Being Made to Effect
His Capture.

Although Frank W. Funk, alias Nichol
son, alias Wilson, the alleged murderer of
William A, Brooks, has been at large for
some time. the Iolce have not yet given
up hope of capturing him. The authorities
have now offered a reward of $500 for the
apprehension of the fugitive, and a new
circular issued by Inspector Mattingjv
gives minute description of the accused
nan. While the reward, it is stated is
much less than most rewards offered in
other Jurisdictions in similar cases the
police hope it will have the effect of caus-
ing extra efforts of officers elsewhere to
catch the fugitive. 1t is stated at head
quarters that no information concerning
FuEks Wherea bouts has been obtained
Since he left the hotel on Pennsylvania
avenue the night of the murder he has
successfully concealed his movements
Now that Inspector Mattingly is making
such strenuous efforts to cause his can
tire, it is believed that some information
concerning the whereabouts of other es-
capped murderers may be obtained Dorsey
FcultZ, we'll as the murderer of Shoe
maker Hall; Lucien Johnson, alleged SLAYER
of King Howe; 'Tootsey'' Dudley, who kill
ed a girl in the camp" Frank Heideman.
who killed colored friend, and Thomas
Fitzgerald, alleged murderer of Grocer
Draeger, are among the fugitives from this
city. The pursuit of Dorsey Foultz and
lis reported presence in several places a
the same time almost every day for sew
eral weeks after the crime was committed
is still fresh In the minds of Washing
tCnianS.
The latest circular concerning Funk has
been sent all over the country and to some
other countries Funk had stated as was
published in The Star at the time of the
murder, that he had desire to go to the
klondike, and it was the belief of the DO
lice that he had started! west. 1t was also
believed he might haveegone to see one of
his wives, the one who lives in Philadel-
Ihia. Detective Weldon went there as
well as to Pittsburgt but no trace Of the
truant was found.
One of the detectives interested in the
case gave Star reporter today his idea of
how the murder was committed. 1t was
accomplished in little room in which rub
bish and some tools that might have been
used by a carpenterwere stored The de.
tective said he thought that, when Funk
went to the house, he got "Pappy' Brooks
to go in the room under the pretense that
he wanted to borrow a saw or Ratchet.
and when he got in there he knocked him
down with the heavy ak. Then he called
Nanny Brooks in, probably telling her
that 'Pappy" had fallen in fit, and as
seen she entered the door he made an
effort to kill her.
Some of the officers have an: idea that
Funk has enlisted and gone to the front.
