NOTE SYNDICATE

By NEWARK FIRM
Local Sieuth Leads New York

GOT $4,000 NOTE FROM
BLUE RIDGE BRICK co.
Detectives Say He Was Brains

tial man of the company, Detective

cate, which has made hundreds of
thousands of dollars through the dis
counting of promissory notes obtained
in an Illegal manner.
Detective Tuite led the New York
detectives to Jacobs's magnificent suite
of rooms in the exclusive Manhattan
Square Hotel. opposite the American
Museum of Natural History. and
charged him with obtaining a note for
$4,000 from the Newark company under
false pretenses.
With the arrest of Jacobs, Detective

Died Hunted as P0isOner
of Physician.
POLICE FIX CRIME ON HIM
THROUGH WIFE'S LETTERS
EnjOined Practitioner Not to Tell
of Secret Visits, Fearing
Both Would Be Slain.
Especial to the Evening Star.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-The ar
rest of a wealthy man, formerly a
prominent Philadelphian, is expected
today in connection with the cunning
murder by poison of DIR. William II.
Wilson, of S19 North Seventh street.
Sufficient evidence has been accumu-
lated by detectives to show that DIR.
Wilson's practise was exclusively
among women; that it was secret and
Illegal, the coroner says One woman
recently died under his treatment, ac-
cording to the coroner, and she was
the wife of the man whose arrest is
expected She was a secret patient of
DR.. Wilson's, not even her husband
knowing of her visits to the North
Seventh street house until blood
poisoning, which later killed her, had
developed.
This husband, according to the po-
lice, laid careful plans to kill the
doctor. The man had children, and it
was his wish to protect their mother $
memory with them. Only the doctor
knew the mother secret Another
fact which came to the police today
was that DIR. Wilson had sent the hus-
band a bill for an extraordinarily large
sum for services.
The man under suspicion recently
closed out his Philadelphia business and
moved away. This he did, according
to the police theory, to divert suspicion
from himself when he executed his re-
markable plot to kill DIR. Wilson. No
suspicion would ever have attached to
him, it is said. had not his wife COM
mitted the indiscretion of writing let
ters about her case to the physician.
In one of these letters she cautioned
him about secrecy, saying that if her
husband ever discovered that she had
employed him to do what he was to do
he would kill both of them.
The writing by the murderer of the
forged letter, bearing brewery name,
in which the doctor was informed that
a sample bottle of fine, rich, creamy
old ale" would be sent him so that he
could recommend 1t to his patients, is
considered an exceptionally subtle part
of a deep plot. In due time the ale
arrived. The physician drank a little
of it, to taste It. and it killed him. The
ale had been heavily impregnated with
cyanide of potassium.
