SEEK CLEW TO MURDER
AMONG THE PRINTERS
Detectives Renew Efforts to Lo-
cate Person Who Poisoned
DIR. Wilson

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-Clews as to
who caused certain letterheads to be
printed are being sought in this city by
the police of Philadelphia. The case is
the mysterious and sensational murder
of DR.. w. H. Wilson of Philadelphia
last summer by means of poisoned ale.
Circulars are being received by many
printers in New York asking them to
help the Philadelphia detectives, If pos
sible, to trace the letterhead back to its
author.
DR.. Wilson received communication,
apparently on the stationery of a firm
of Philadelphia brewers. inviting him to
sample a new brand of ale bottle
was received by him in an express
package, and he tasted its contents and
was killed The supposed murderer sent
a letter TO the police giving the motive
for his act and explaining that he was
a printer and that he forged the letter
head. The Philadelphia police made one
arrest, but were Obliged to release the
suspected man for lack of evidence
New York city is now being flooded
with circulars in the hope that some
printer will remember having printed
the letterhead and blanks sent to DR..
Wilson.

some time.
Nothing had been heard from any or

ject at this time, as no proceedings
may be taken The inquiry was yet
unfinished, and it was feared that
