Massey had fo5tered gambling IN this
city. are TO be investigated by the Pos
lice Commission To bring the matter
properly before the board, charges have
been preferred against the chief The

Chairman Glarkson Of the board was
seen in his Office this morning. At first he
positively refused to discuss the matter.
Ha would not verify the report that
charges had been brought against th7
chief. Finally he said the charges had
been brought TO properly bring the mat
ter IN. IIo also said that the hearing
would be private. Not even representa-
tive Of the press will be allowed III the
room. When told that this was an IN
usual proceeding Mr.. Clarkson SAID that
is was the only way the Investigation
could bc made. After it IS completed
he said the result would be made known
10 the public.
The commissioners are being criticized
for this manner Of probing as the board

other commissions all the investigations
have been open so that no claim Of un'

WILLIAMS
ARRESTED
Trenton Homicide When Locked
Up Confesses the Crime.
PLEADS SELF DEFENSE
He Admits Killing the Crippled Cigar
maker but Says Victim Insulted
His Wife. Arrest Made
at Syracuse.

George Hettrich. or. as he is better
known, Franklin Williams, accused of
killing John Kraus, cigarmaker Of
Trenton, on Thanksgiving Day, was ar
rested yesterday at Syracuse, N. H., and
has confessed his crime to the police.
lie claims that kraus owned him
wages, which he refused to pay, and that
he. also had taken liberties with HIS
wife, which led to the quarrel result
ing in Kraus' death. Williams, or Het-
trieh admits his guilt but pleads self
defence.
Hrttrich's parents live in Buffalo and he
has spent most Of his life working for
patent medicine company. The story
| that Hettrich Rad studied for the priest
hood is myth. His picture in priestly
Yarb il understood to have been used in
connection with patent medicine tcsti-
| monials.
| ii has developed that Hettrith is a big
an.ist. and consequently his supposed
wife, who is in jail, can testify against
hin.
lIettrich, it is alleged, nun dered Kraus
who was cripple. Hettrich and his
uif. lived with him for a few weeks,
the former working as a cigarmaker. A
quarrel on Thanksgiving morning re-
stnltrd in the death of )Sraus, who was
struck on the head with the lever Of a
| tobacco press.
After the killing Kraus' body was tied
M in bundle, the supposition being
that Hettrich ir.tended to drop the bundle
into the river. When Hettrich attempt-
I'd to hire a carriage at a livery stable
hi4 wife ran away and gave the alarm,
fearing hat he would kill her also.
