FOR MANOLEY

Excellent Character.

GSCeUeIlt sSIldTdClSTs
A new and important witness In the
Manoley case was discovered yesterday
in the person of Mrs. Benjamin Franklin
who has known Manoley since childhood,
says yesterdays Baltimore American.
Although the detectives and police de-
partment Of this city has been endeavor-
ing to ignore the statement OF Frank
Manoley that he shot and killed his vile
while dreaming last Thursday morning
at their home, on West Hamburg Street.
and also that the revolver that he used
was one which he had had for two years.
having purchased 1t In Wilmington, Del,
number of witnesses who have known
Manoley for long time have been found,
and state that Manoley possessed the pis-
toll long before July 3. the time the de-
tectives are trying to prove that he pur-
chased 1t at the store Of Little" Joe
Wiesenfeld's. Howard and Baltimore
Streets.
Mrs. Morehead was seen at ser home
by representative of The American last
night, and made the following statement:
..I have known Mr. Manoley since we
were both children. having been born In
the same neIghborhood and grew up as
children together. I never knew Frank
to read a novel. and why some one re-
ported that he was an incessant reader
OF trashy literature cannot understand.
Frank was very fond of his Bible, and
read that a great DEAL and while yet
young man became Christian and joined
the church, And as to- the report that
he was a cigarette fiend. that can
truthfully say is absolutely incorrect, Tor
when Young was with him great deal,
and when got married and moved to
this city 1t was but a short time before
Frank came to this city to work and
boarded with me at No, 40 North Eutaw
street. I think II was In May. 1899, that
he came to this city and the following
July he returned to Richmond, got mar
ried. and, coming to this city. rented
rooms from me. 1t was the latter part of
that summer after his marriage that
Frank at times seemed quite Ill and In
fits Of dependency remarked that he
wished he were dead and out of the way
"IIe frequently said he believed he
would jump oft the roof and end 1t all,
These remarks caused his wife and my
self both so much anxiety that we often
wa tched him lest he should injure him
sell,
"The following winter Frank went to
Wilmington, Del, and sent Tor his wife
In a few weeks. After their return to this
city they took rooms with me again
at No. 332 North Howard Street, but
soon moved to my present address.
BEFORE moved, however, Mrs. Manoley
said to me one day that she made Frank
get her a revolver while in Wilmington,
aa she had to remain in the house so
much at night alone. Mr.. and Mrs. Ma
noley then lived short time with Mrs.
Augustus Parker, on West Twenty-first
street. before they moved to their last
home, on Hamburg Street."
Mrs Morehead said that Manoley and
lis wife both frequently visited her home,
and both We're of unusually sweet dis
position, except that ManoleS suffered
a great deal from nervousness.
