WILSON IS
HELD FOR
MURDER

Boston. March 31.-A warrant charging
Willis TT. Wilson with the murder OF his
stepfather and mother. Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank A. Brown, was issued today at the
Jamaica Plain municipal court, and later
served on Wilson. who was already in
custody on suspicion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown died Saturday at
their home q Roslindale as the result
of bullet wounds.
II was generally accepted at the time
that Brown murdered his wife. and then
killed himself. an understanding which
was furthered by Wilson, who declared
that he was in an adjoining room when
the tragedy took place.
An autopsy. which was held yesterday.
convinced the medical examiner that
Brown had not killed himself.
There was no indication that the re-
volver which caused Browns death was
held close enough TO show suicide.
No motive for Wilson's alleged crime
has been established.
The police believe that the shooting was
the outcome OF a quarrel while the Brown
family was al dinenr. They will allege
that in the heat OF the quarrel Wilson
fired at his stepfather. that no did not
mean 10 shoot his mother. but that when
she tried 20 grasp the revolver the wea'
pom exploded twice. killing her.
They will also claim that Wilson then
fired n bullet through his coat TO divert
/ suspicion from himself by evidence that
he had been shot at by his father

With an Escaped Cenvict..A Fight
For Life.
From the Daily Item, April 30


Deputy Sheriff j. E. Gaillard had
all exciting encounter with desperate
negro criminal last night whcm he
attempted to arrest. He received in
formation yesterday afternoon that an
escaped convict was in hiding IN
negro house on MIR. W. B. Burns farm
on the Northwestern r. R., mile or
two from the city, and last night
accompanied by Mr.. Tribble no went
out to arrest him. When they reached
the house one of them went 10 the
front door and the other to the back.
There were several negro mon IN
the house. One said his mama was
Brupson, and another said hs was
Walter Fleming. While neither o.! these
was the man they were after, it
happened that warrants were in the
hands of Deputy Gaillard fer one
Brunson and for Walter Flemmlng, 80
he decided to arrest them both. When
they were ordered to come out and
surrender they made break, one
from the front door, the other from the
back. Mr. Gaillard pursued Flaming
and Mr.. Tribble the other. MI. Gail
lard fred his pistol twice in the air
to frighten Fleming, but he run all
the faster. Then he began shooting
at the fleeing maa, and, as he fell swice.
Mr.. Gaillard thinks that he lit his
mark. He finally overlook the man
and siezed him by the collar. There
ensued a rough and tumble fight.
| The negro made determined effort
to gain possession of Mr.. Gaillard's g
pistol, which was by this time empty
and useless, else the man would have
been shot at close quraters. In the
struggle Mr.. Gaillard's right hand was
badly bitten and his face bruised and
scratched, while the negro was trying
to get his fingers in his eyes. Ele got
a finger into Mr.. Gaillard's mouth,
who then did a little biting o:a his
own account. He jerked his finger
ont with such force that four OF Mr..
Gaillard's teeth were wrenched from
their sockets and left hanging 10 the
gums. The negro finally got looose
and made his escape.
The man pursued by Mr.. Tribble was
feet of foot and made good his escape,
and Mr.. Tribble returned to assist
Mr.. Gaillard but, the fight was over
and the man gone when he arrived on
the scene.
Mr.. Gailllard returned to town and
at oace called up Dr.. Dick, who re-
placed his teeth and it is hoped that
he will not lose them.

The police picked up, at the depot
this morning, a forlorn Italian i'm
migrant who had gotten lost On his
way to Rosemary. Georgetown county,

and was started on the right road Cor
Rosemary, but in some way he got
lost and when he was taken in charge

from fright and grief. He wanted to
get aboard of every train that passed
the depot and it was his strange be-
havior and lusty weeping that drew
attention to him. He could not speak
a word of English and could give
no account Of himself. When the
police took charge of him and brought
him up to the guard house he was
more terrified than ever, and his ac-
tions indicated that he believed his
last hour had come. At last one of
the police had a happy thought and
the terrified foreigner was conducted

to come to this city. Felipe is afraid
to venture forth alone again, and will
not hear of starting for his destina-
tion until his brother comes.

how Torpedoes are Made.

The Whitehead torpedo. built for
the United States Government, is
made chiefly of steel. and nearly in
the shape of poypoise. It's greatest
diameter is nearly eighteen inches:
it is made in two sizes or lengths OF
about twelve feet and seventeen feet,
respectively. The weight Of the
shcrser one, ready to discharge, is
nearay half ton. AS constructed
5y the e. W. Bliss Company, Of
Brooklyn, these torpedoes are MADE
In five sections, containing, :! all,
nearly two thousand separate pieces.
Beginning at the head Of the machine,
which is sometimes called the bust
ness end, we find one hundred and
ten pounds of wet gun cotton packed
above bronze partition. This cot
ton is inserted in the form of disks,
which are pierced through their cen
ters to make room for little o5ass
case Of dry gun-cotton priming. Ine
front end Of the dry gun-cotton Is
pierced TO receive the detonatlng
nyimer, containing illuminate OF mer-
cury. and capped with percussion
cap. In front of the primer Is
screwed war nose, which operates
automatically when the torpedo strikes
the target by driving the Gring-pin
against the cap and so efectlng q
series Of explosions ending with the
Wes gun-cotton.
Back of the head is the flask, which
occupies more than half the length OF
she machine. It is filed with air
t,ompressed to pressure OF thirteen
hundred and fifty pounds to the
SQUARE inch, or to one-ninetieth OF
its ordinary volume. The escape OF
this air through small valve leading
to the engines and motors, placed IN
compartment back OF the flask,
furnishes all the power for the locomo-
tion of the machine.
Between the flask and the engine
there is a very important compart-
rnent4 containing the mechanism Tor
automatically regulating the depth OF
Immersion keeping it constant accord
ing TO setting of the machine. This
device was never patented, but was
Kept a secret, the details of it being
sold to the various maritime nations.
The principle Of it is this: There are
several apertares through the walls OF
Che machine which are covered by
diaphragms on thin rubber. The
pressure Of the water outside, which
increases with the depth, pushes these
inward accordingly, and at the same
time pushes pistons that rest behind
the rubber diaphragms. The motion
OF the pistons is communicated to
horizcntal rudders, so that a slight
deviation from the assigned depth
Will Immediately incline them; and
thus the machine is raised or depressed
as required. A pendulum suspended
An the same compartment operates
similarly to keep the machine in a
horizontal position. From "Torpe-
