meth Sturtevant, aged years, from
drowning in the Nemasket river into
which he had fallen while fishing from
a rock, Albert Kelley, years oil, lost
his own life this afternoon. This is the
conclusion the police and medical eX-
aminers reached when the bodies of the
two boys were pulled out of the river
tonight with graphing irons. Both
boys were found in the same place.
The lads, who were inSeparable COM
panions, started off to fish this after
noon after dinner, the last time they
were seen alive When supper time
came the fathers of both boys becom-
ing anxious over their long absence
from home and organized a searching
party. When it was learned that the
lads had been seen fishing from the
rock, a general alarm was sent out and
about 200 people gathered to assist in
the search and just at sundow9 the

AUTHORITIES BLuNDER.
Have Gies Under Arrest, Probably
Wrong Man, In Wilson Case.

Philadelphia, July 6.-Though the
police pretend to believe that Frederick
Gies. Jr., arrested as a suspect in the
case knows something about the mur-
der of DR.. William H. Wilson of this
city who died on June 26 after drink
ing bottle of ale containing cyanide
of potassium. developments today tend
to show that the authorities have
blundered in the matter and that Gies
finds himself in this embarrassing po-
sltlon as the result of his efforts to
protect the name of his young wife.
The records at the bureau of health
show that Mrs. Gies died on June 10
and that her infant babe died the day
previous. To clearly connect Gies with
the sending of poisonous ale to Dr.
Wilson, the authorities will have 70
assume that Gies knew four days be-
fore that that his wife was going to
die. for on June Is, the man who sent
the poisoned ale to Dr. Wilson pur-
chased from William Olmstead at the
Keystone Type Foundry a letter IS"
from font of type known as "Stuy-
vesant" and which letter was used as
seal stamp by the murderer who pre-
pared the bottle of ale sent to the ply
sician. That Gies did not purchase
this letter IS" seems certain. for Ohm
stead failed to identify him at police
headquarters as the customer who Or
dered the type.
The miXup regarding the date on
which Mrs. Gies died seems to be eX-
planned by the familiarity of Mrs. Haas,
in whose house she died with the Eng
lish methods of writing dates. DR..
William Helix, who attended Mrs. Gies.
dated the death certificate "6-19-0S."
Mrs. Haas remembering the figures ac-
cepted the figures as meaning sixth
day. 1908, instead of sixth month, 10Th
day and thus had the date June in
mind. Fred Buckman, the express
clerk who received from the supposed
murderer the package which contained
the poisoned ale sent to DR.. Wilson,
today received letter in which he is
advised to go slow in attempting to
identify anyone as the person who sent
the bottle
Buckman confronted GieS at the City
hall tonight but refused to positively
identify the prisoner as the man who
left the package of ale at the express
Office.
Gies will be arraigned tomorrow for
hearing as an accessory to the death
of his wife.
