ARREST MADE IN
MURDER MYSTERY
Negro Thought to Know Some
thing Regarding Death of
William Williams.
SWEETHEART TELLS STORY
SAYS AGED MAN CARRIED MONEY
AND AUTHORITIES NOW THINK
THAT ROBBERY WAS MOTIVE
FOR THE CRIME.

Dover, Del, July 1.-THE Maryland
Authorities late yesterday afternoon
made an arrest in the murder mystery
which wells the death OF aged William
Williams, found hanging in the woods
near Masydel Monday.
Caleb Watson negro, was arrested
on suspicion that he might know
something of the crime. The fact OF
his being employed by John Vessel, a
son-in-law of Williams as day labor
er, and the further fact that he assist
ed Vessel all of Monday last in
searching for Williams, are looked up
ON by the officers as clews to the
possible apprehension of the real per-
petrator of the crime.
Partially abandoning the idea that
the crime was committed to prevent
Williams marrying thirteen-year-old
Elizabeth Walls, the detectives on the
case have taken up the possibility OF
robbery having been the real motive
of the old mans slayer.
The Walls girl herself started this
theory when she told of having seen
two gold coins-a $40 piece and one
Tor $5-in> the old mans possession.
These have disappeared
Only One Cent Remained.
Lizzie, who is the central figure in
the case because of Williams infatua-
ton for her, says the old man always
had the gold in his pocket. but when
found there was just one cent in his
clothing.
The girl has made contradictory
with Williams. First she said she had
never met him clandestinely. Later
she admitted that she had.
Wanted to kidnap Her.
Elizabeth added to her story the in
teresting fact that Williams wanted to
kidnap her, and declared:
He got some of my clothing out OF
the house several weeks ago. He told
me then that If did not love him and
would not run off with him to be mar
ried, he would go away and never
come back. cried a whole lot when
he told me this.
Il liked Mr. Williams. but I wanted
to stay home with mamma and papa.
Il am too young to get married now,
and / told Mr. Williams this. too"
The girl admitted that Williams was
very fond of her. She also stated that
she was somewhat afraid of him.
Il don't want to say that Mr.. Will
liams would harm me, but the way he
made love to me frightened me-" said
the girl.
The authorities say that Williams
made love to several young girls.

very title Of which will excite the sur
prise Of most intelligent people even in
Connecticut, who have never heard of
any black governors In the Nutmeg

politically black. The title, however, Is

the custom for the negroes living in
the state to hold an election on the Sat

day, choosing one of their number as
governor. Sometimes, however, no
election was held, the retiring governor
assigning his office to another. The
man chosen In either case was usually
