WOOD SURRENDERED
Suspect Slayer of Williams
 Held In New York.
HE IS SUFFERING FROM APHASIA.

 ed, Memory Lost.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Telling a dis 1ointed story and with his mustache removed, George II. Wood, who is wanted in connection with the murder of George Williams, grocer, at Watch ung, N. J., was locked up in police Headquarters here last night. Wood seemed to be mentally disordered, and Dr George NJ. Ball after an examna- tion said he was not under the intiu- ence of drugs, but was apparently suf- fering from aphasia.
 Accompanied by his wife and a brother-in-law. Frederick Bischoff, Wood walked into the West Twentieth street police station at half past 9 o'clock last night. Chief of Police kie- ly of Plainfield, x. l.. when called np read off a description of the alleged murderer of Williams. It tailed with the description of Wood in many par ticulars. The murderer was described as having mustache. Wood was clean shaven. but he said he removed his mustache on Monday.
 At police headquarters Wood said that last Monday he met q man named "Mac." an iron worker. who asked him to go to Scarsdale. Pa, where Sl.0OO could be obtained for business pur- poses. Wood said he started for Scars dale. but does not remember reaching that place. but felt positive he was in Trenton. Wood said he could remem- sber nothing else except that he had lost bis suit case and his soft hat
 Wood until recently was a member of the firm of Wood X Stevenson, iron ret,ers and erectors." firm that has sn office in Woods house at j16 West One Hundred and Thirty-frst street, e this city.
 Wood, the police have learned, regis tered in his own name at the Farmers hotel in Plainfield on Monday. the day on which he and his family left Iiar- lem. and his movements have been traced m to the lime he left here to hire a conveyance 10 drive to Mrs. Pol locks farm. Turing the intervening

days he is said to lluN" uIINcn out daily to the farm from PlainleId. He was last seen boarding train for Plainfleld at Millington station. on the Lackawan- na railroad. soon after the murder is supposed to have been committed.
 On entering Woods room at the hotel at Plainfield the police found n box of 32 caliber cartridges and three empty shells. The description of Wood tallies exactly with that of the stranger who appeared in Watching and engaged Williams to drive him to the Pollock farm at Mount Horeb.
 An autopsy on the body of Williams shows that he had been shot from be- hind through the heart and had been instantly killed. A bullet extracted from the body proved to be of the same caliber as those found in Woods room in the hotel
 The apparent entire absence of all motive is one of the most mysterious and bafIling features of the case. No attempt at robbery was made, the body DI lIe Ululutltu btihS ioui" "''h his clothing tightly buttone. where he had fallen in the bottom of the sleigh immediately after being shot.
 Williams was persuaded by well dressed suave hammered man about thirty-iive or forty years old to drive him to Warrenvlle. He was Il stran- ger in the neighborhood and said he warited to make all possible haste to the farmhouse of Mrs. Pollack. a wid- ow, living on the border of Warren vile. The grocer was persuaded by the mans opportunities to hitch up his sleigh. The two got into 1t and sped over the snow through the narrow streets of the village and out into the broad highway.
 Two hours later the sleigh was found
 hitched to post by Eugene Pope. a farmer and intimate friend of Will
 Hams. The grocer's body was hud- dled in the sleigh. in his heart a bullet that had penetrated through the back 1 of his neck. There was no sign of a | struggle. no suggested motive for the | crime and only trail of lightly in- dented footsteps on the snow to point where the companion of the grocer had i gone.
