Young Wilcox Shows Little Emo
ton While Funeral Services Are
Held Over Remains of Girl He
Is Accused of Numbering
ASKED IF LARGE
CROWD WAS PRESENT
City Is Quieting Down
and There Is Less Talk Heard
of Lynching the Man Who Is
Believed to Have Killed Miss
Nell Cropsey

Elizabeth City, n. j., Dec. 29.-Funeral
services over the body of Miss Nellie
Cropsey, whose remains were discovered
in the Pascatonk River were held in the
Methodist Church here today. The
church was filled with people The re-
mains were taken to Brooklyn for inter
ment The citizens committee who have
been investigating the matter acted as
pallbearers.
The jail in which young Wilcox. who
was arrested for alleged participation in
the girls death, is only stones throw
from the church. Wilcox knew the fu-
neral was in progress, but showed no
emotion, and merely inquired If large
crowd was present. He is more nervous
than yesterday, but retains much of the
easy manner that has characterized him
at all times
The guards were withdrawn from the
jail today and permitted to go home.
Public sentiment is strong against Will
cox, but there is less talk of lynchtng,
and some of the ministers today took oc-
casion in their sermons to advise against
mob violence.
Wilcox, under advice of his attorney
refuses to say anything regarding the
case. He asserts that the first statement
made by him covers all he knows of the
case. He is charged with the murder of
in this state, he will have to stay in Jail
pending a trial. 1t is believed he will
waive an examination and permit his
case to go direct to the grand jury next
March.
Rev. L. L. Williams, rector of the Epis-
copal Church. during his morning SER
mon, referred to the Cropsey case, and
said the people should not act hastily, but
to allow the law to take its course.
R. w. Turner, a member of the citizens
committee asserted today that they
would have sufficient evidence to connect
Wilcox with the crime. He said: I'VE
know Miss Cropsey was killed by blow
on the head with sand bag or black
jack If the blow was struck while she
was on the porch, then her unconscious
form was dragged across the lawn to the
river, only a short distance away. If the
blow was struck on the lawn, we are con-
WINGED she was induced to cross the lawn
by Wilcox and that while walking across
she was struck by him
There is another witness who may be
called upon to testify. 1t is R. F. Parker
who told his wife that the night after
Miss Cropsey disappeared he had seen
Wilcox dragging a girl across the road in
front of Wilcox's residence. We will in

BARGE FOUNDERS BUT
HER CREW is RESCUED

Philadelphia, Dec. 90 - The tugboat
Samson arrived at the Delaware Break
water today with the crew of three men
from the cOal-laden barge Brandywine,
which had foundered at sea.
The Brandywine was bound from Nor
folk to Boston with the barge Oracle.
When nearing the Winter Quarter light
ship the Brandywine was found to be
leaking seriously. Her crew manned the
pumps, but We're unable to keep the water
out of her hold.
Signals of distress were flown, and the
Samson took the three men from the
sinking craft but a few minutes before
she went down. The tug then proceeded
to the breakwater with the oracle, which
was anchored in the bay. The Brandy
wine was an old craft, built in Newbury-
port, Mass, in 1866. She was then known
as the Elcano

tional case.
The wisdom of discharging waste wa
ter into cesspools was questioned, Mr..
Winston raising the point that the exca-
vator service was not sufficiently large
to carry off all the waste water which
would empty into the cesspools. Mr..
Hemingway pointed out that the water
first emptied into small ditch which
carried the waste to Nuuanu stream. and
that this ditch would be befouled. 1t was
finally agreed that pipes should be laid
along this small ditch to Nuuanu stream
Mr.. Dole stated that the reason why
so few connections were being made with
the sewers was because the matter
which emptied into the ocean at the
sewer outfall was so offensive that the
Workmen could not continue laying the
pipe. 1t was dangerous to the health Of
the workmen.
Mr.. Hemingway reported the case OF d
Chinese who had recently built a resi-
dence structure too close to the out
houses in an adjoining yard. He was in
st1ucted to bring the case into court and
test the regulation which provides for
air space between buildings.
