The Gambler Yields to the Plea of n
Dying Preacher.
NEW HAVEN, March 19.-When Capt
J. II. Wilkins was baptized in Grace Hos
pital two weeks ago by the Rev o. S.
Prescott both were doomed men. It was
thought that the clergyman must quickly
succumb to Brighrs disease.
But the cclored man whom he convert
ed. and who was for years known as the
Policy King Of Connecticut" died last
night in the hospital while the minister
was by his side to give him comfort and
consolation. But Mr.. Prescott cannot
long survive. The fact that Captain Will
kins died a member Of the Christian
Church made Father Prescott, as he has
long been called because Of his extreme
high church views ver'- happy
The old priest and ths colored man met
while being wheeled in the sun room Of
the hospital. and Captain wilkins conver-
sion was the result Of many talks The
latter died OF cancer Of the throat
brought On by excessive smoking
Captain wilkins asserted that he was
the first colOred volunteer to enlist in a
regiment recruited in New England for
the civil war. He was a boy at the time
coming 70 Connecticut from North Caro-
lima. After the war he organized the first
COlOred military company In New Eng
land. IL was attached to the Connecticut
National Guard.
For many years Captain wilkins was
the agent Of the Republican leaders
among the colored voters. He made
great fortune out Of policy until the re-
form wave Of 1894 drove him out OF bust
ness. During the Blaine campaign Of 1884
he waEered S100. 600 that Blaine would be
elected. This practically wrecked his for
tune, and he never recouped He was
doOrheeper in the Assembly in 1897. and
last year he was made a guard in the
county Jail.
