NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-George H. Brou-

last night, disclosed the details today of
the manner in which fe used in speculat-

that most of his losses were suffered in

He said: Besides being the manager

with us. and when my account was
squeezed 1 would transfer some of Mr.

BOY MURDERER NOT SORRY
HE KILLED o-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Youth Seems Utterly Devoid of Moral
erception--ProbabIy VIII Be
Imprisoned for Long
Term
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
CAMDEN. N. j., Oct 12.--seemingly
as devoid of moral perception as was
Jesse Pomeroy when he murdered Katie
Curran in 1874, Joseph Wood, the 16-
yeag- old slayer of Ethel Nevin, years
old, was made the subject of a quick
indictment for murder by the grand
jury today.
As the boy has confessed his guilt
the only question to be determined is
what his punishment shall be. 1t Is
likelysthat an early date will be set for
the trial.
Young Woods confession marks him
as one of those abnormalities that set
the milestones in records of Juvenile
crime.
Sixteen years old, with a mop of un-
kempt tow-colored hair small face for
his age and wizened in features, the boy
has evinced not the slightest indication
that he has any idea of the enormity OF
his deed. He confessed because he was
sleepy and wanted to go to bed to get
his feet warm.
After telling a story that drove chills
through the policemen, Wood slept like
the child that he is in stature. To the
authorities the Wood boy presents a
problem. 1t is generally conceded that
morally he is too deficient to deserve
death and too dangerous to be at large.
He probably will be found guilty of
murder and then imprisoned for a long
term of years
