IS JOHN WILTRAX GUILTY ?
Convicted of Numbering a Boy, but Peter
Van Vlissengen Believes He Is
an innocent Man.

Chicago. March millionaire Pc
ter Van Nlissingen has conducted n
remarkable sociological experiment to
unravel u murder mystery. Van Wis
singer acted ON the theory that John
WiltraX, although convicted, is prob
ably innocent of the murder of 6-year-
old Paul PasZkowski, for which Will
traX was sentenced to the penitentiary.
1t was mainly on the testimony of 10
year-Old Julius WiltraX, son of the ac-
victed. The boy confessed to the po-
lice that his father killed the child,
testified to the murder in court, and
later repudiated the testimony.
After the fathers conviction the
boy was sent to school in which Van
NlisSingen was Interested 1t was as
result of this that Van Vnssingen
began his experiment. he took the boy
to his home and made him as one of
the family. He dressed the lad as
children of the rich are dressed, and
soon transformed him, mentally as
well as physically, from a child of the
gutter to a bright and intelligent boy.
All the time Van Elissingen has been
trying tOfind out the truth of the boys
story. The lad insists that he was
forced to tell it by the pOlice-that
the details of the crime which he re-
lated were invented by the police and
that he learned them by heart It is
story Of suggestion and intimidation
