UNEARTH AWFUL CRIME.
Husband Of EImhurst (cal.) Woman
Charged with Her Death.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-The police
Of Oakland have unearthed most
diabolical crime and have taken into
custody NJ. A. Wilkins, stationary
engineer, and will charge him with
the murder of his wife, whose re-
mains were found buried in quicklime
underneath shed in the yard of the
Wilkins home in Elmhurst a SUBJ
urb Of Oakland.
Mrs. Wilkins had not been seen
around her home by the neighbors for
several days. 1t was known that she
was seen to give birth to a child and
inquiries regarding her whereabouts
by the neighbors elected the response
from Wilkins that she had gone to
the home of her parents in the east
A friend of the dead woman, Mrs.
j. M. Anderson of San Francisco, had
been staying at the Wilkins home
during the past few days, and now as
serts that Wilkins had endeavored to
induce her to leave her husband and
go away with him.

All! Glenister had told her only halt
the tale, thought the girl. The truth
was barring itself. AT that moment
Champian Thought she looked the typ
ical creature Of the dance halls, the
crafty, jealous, maIevolent adventur-
eSs.
".And the hussy masquersdcs us a

"She is lady, said he Kid. He
sat bolt upright and rigid. and the
knuckles of his clinclcd hands were
very white. In the shadow they did
not note that his dark face was ghast-
", nor did he say more except to bid
Champian goOdby when he left, later
on. After the door had closed, how
ever. the Kid arose and stretched his
muscles, not languidly. but as though
to take out the cramp of long tension.
He wet his lips, and his mouth was so
! dry that the sound caused the girl to
look up.
"What are you grinning at?' Then,
as the light struck his face, she started.
MY, how You look! What ails you?
Are You sick:' No one, from Dawson
down. had seen the Bronco Kid as he
looked tonight.
".No; Pm not Sick" he answered in a
cracked voice.
Then the girl laughed harshly.
do you love that girl too? Why,
she's got every man in town crazy!'
She wrung her hands, which is bad
sign i'll a capable person, and as Glen
lister crossed the floor below in her
sight She said, "Ah-h-I could kill him
for thatw
SO could l." said the Kid and left
her without adieu.

.Ex-BANkER TRIES SUICIDE
HOWARD MAxwELL,s WOUNDS
ARE THOUGHT TO BE FATAL.
Brooklyn Official, Depressed over In.
dictments, Attempts to Take
Own Life.

New York, Nov. 27-Howard Max.
well, former president of the Borough
bank OF Brooklyn, attempted suicide
by cutting his throat with a razor at
ais home in Brooklyn Tuesday. He
was taken to a hospital and is ex-
pected to die. Maxwell was indicted
on charges of larceny and forgery.
Tie recent investigation of the af-
fairs OF the Borough bank of Brook.
lyn, accompanied by number of in.
dlctinents against officers Of the bank,
resulted In an attempt to commit sui
eide by Howard Maxwell, who was
president OF the bank at the time it
closed its doors. Maxwell had been
very much depressed ever since his
indictment and suffered keenly
through Imprisonment in Raymond
street Jail.
AT the Long Island college hospital,
to which Mr. Maxwell was taken. It
was said he was IN a serious condi.
ton
Bail was furnished for him and he
went to his home in serious mental
condition. 1t was reported in Brook
lyn that Cashier Campbell of the
bank, who is also under indictment.
had decided to give evidence for the
prosecution. This report, which.
however, was not confirmed, caused a
sensation and was followed within
few hours by the news that Maxwell
mad cut his throat in his Brooklyn
nome. 1t is believed that Maxwell's
wounds are fatal.
Maxwell four years ago was cash.
Ter OF the Kings County bank at the
time that institution was merged
with the Union bank, another Brook
lyn institution. At that time he had
no property, SO far as known, but he
enlisted the assistance of William
Cow OF an advertising firm, and these
two, with others, organized the Bor.
ough bank of Brooklyn. The Bor-
ough bank, operating on what has
been described as liberal lines"
achieved a remarkable success for its
omcers and directors, and before the
crash came a few weeks ago Maxwell
was reported to be worth 5000, 900.
All this, however, was stripped from
him in the effort to recoup the bank
for questionable loans for the making
Of which he. as president, had been
held responsible. Shortly after he
became bank president, Maxwell
married and in process of settlement
OF the Borough bank affairs Mrs.
Maxwell signed with him all the re.

name, so that she is penniless.

PROPOSES PRIZES FOR MOTHERS.
Novel Scheme Advocated to Increase

New York, Nov. 2S.--Mrs. Clarence
Burns, head of the Little Mothers Aid
society, proposes a novel scheme to
increase the number Of births in New
York. She advocates the establish
ment of an antirace suicide club by
New York fathers and mothers, whose
duty it would be to encourage young
couples to rear large families. II
would suggest a list of prizes for
mothers" she said. THE club might
even go so far as to find suitable hus-
bands for girls of marriageable age
who are not yet wives There would
be a public treasury which could be
drawn upon if need be for mothers

THAW TRIAL IN JANUARY
FAMOUS CASE is TO SEE AN.
OTHER DISAPPOINTMENT.
Approach Of the Holidays Makes Task
Of Selecting Jurors Doubly
Hard.

New York, Nov. 26.-The second
trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, set for
one week from Tuesday, will again
be postponed and there is little chance
that it will be called until some date
well along in January. The decision
to ask for a postponement has been
agreed to by both sides.
1t was due partly to the fact that
the task of selecting a jury would
be made doubly hard by the approach
of the holidays and the prospect be-
fore the talesmen of spending both
Christmas and New Years day locked
up under the care of court bailiffs,
and also to the fact that Thaws coun-
sci has applied to the court for per-
mission to inspect the secret evidence
presented before the lunacy commits
sion during the progress of the first
trial.
AS an added cause for delay there
is rumor that the attorneys now rep.
resenting Thaw may apply for q
change of venue, declaring fair
trial for their client in New York
county is impossible. Such a move,
if made, would be based upon the al
legged unfriendly attitude of many Of
the local papers and the extent to
which the evidence was printed and
read in this community. District At.
torney Jerome will seriously oppose
the granting of a change In the scene
of the trial
While District Attorney Jerome
probably will move for an adjourn
ment of the trial, owing to the great
difficulty of securing a jury before
the Christmas holidays, Martin w. Lit
Teton, counsel for Thaw, said that he
had not agreed to postponement.
Mr.. Littleton also said that he did not
intend to ask for q change of venue.
