COSTLY BIT OF METAL.
John Wilkinson Held for Theft Of
Platinum Valued at S15O

A small lump of cheap-looking metal, not
over an inch in diameter. was handled
carefully in the Police Court this morning.
That little lump of metal was the cause
of the arrest of John Wilkinson, and on
account of it Wilkinson was committed
to jail today from the Police Court to
await the action Of the grand jury on che
serious charge of larceny from the United
States. The piece of metal was valued
at $50. 1t was platinum.
Wilkinson was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Heian and McNamee of the CEN
trail office while at work at the navy yard,
for the larceny of platinum. taken from
the laboratory Of the navy yard. A guam
tity of platinum. which Is identified as thai
taken from the navy yard, was located by
the detectives at 433 9th street northwest.
where 1t had been sold by Wilkinson. and
was in evidence.
Joseph Westerson and George T. Cusick
of the navy yard testified that the piece
of platinum in evidence had been taken
from the laboratory of the yard by some
one and that Wilkinson had access to
the place where the valuable metal was
kept. The defendant was identified as the
man who had sold the platinum at the
9th street store.
Wilkinson pleaded guilty when arraigned
this morning and the testimony was heard
only in brief In default of bond for
81, 600 he was committed to jail.
