PHILADELPHIA. April 6.-In sorting

James Matthias Williams. the modern
Bluebeard. who the police say has
cores of wives, 1t was found by the
aostaI inspectors that the majority Of
women who wrote TO the matrimonial
agency conducted by Williams and his
wife. were widows.
Anothers mysterious feature in the
case was furnished by q woman who
lives in the vicinity Of the Williams
house, who notified Detective Bryant
she had seen a small child go in and
out of the Williams home, at SID Brown
street. shortly after they had moved in.
last December, and that then the child
suddenly disappeared.
Bryant Immediately notified Captain
Donaghy and the latter detailed detec-
lives to assist Bryant IN thorough
search OF the house and premises. The
only clue to the child Yet found is a
small picture which the detectives will
endeavor to identify.
Both Bryant's assistants and the
postal inspectors have been struck by
the curious psychological phase Of the
matrimonial bureaus exposure, pre-
scented by the Dreponderance of widows
among the victims. Almost every let

who has once before had the experience

organization. he also served in vari-
Gus sDeciaI capacftfes for the Washing
