ed ale, sent him by piotters
against his life.
Immediately after his death,
some one, probably a woman,
ransacked his bungalow to re-
move all evidence Of the crime,
including discriminating letters
and papers.
This person overlooked one
letter written by the doctor,
wherein no writes In yelled
terms that he expects assassin.

Another letter has been
found, apparently written by
one Of the pIotters, to Wilson.
Two women and a man are
implicated by the latest evi.
dence. Their arrest 10 hourly

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-Three ar.
rests are hourly expected In connec-
ton with the death of DR.. VIM II.
Wilson. the Philadelphia physician,
who died from drinking poisoned ale
sent him by plotters who had care.
fully planned TO kill him.
a second search OF the physicians
bungalow at Cornwells has revealed
what the police declare to be the
most valuable clew to the positive
identity OF those implicated in the con.
spiracy.
Two women and man are fmpit'
Gated by the new evidence. The man
had for years been on terms Of ap.
parent friendship with DR.. Wilson. He
knew the physician was an ale drinker
and that he never drank other stimu-
lants. He knew that cyanide OF po-
tassium had been purchased by Dr.
Wilson for brazing parts OF his auto
mobile. He knew that the suspicion
OF suicide would be possible when this
should become known To the police.
The identity OF this man has been
known TO the detectives since the
death OF DR.. Wilson on Friday. but
until the second search of the bunga-
low was made the authorities feared
10 make known their information be-
cause the chain of evidence was not
complete.
Letter In Evidence.
Among the new found evidence Is
letter II Is said to have been written
by the slayer to the physieian--T The
document was discovered by Detec-
tive Long, who Immediately reported
his find TO Deputy Superintendent OF
Police O'Leary. AS result confer.
ence followed. and O'Leary left Phil
adelphia. II was understood that he
would arrest his man ercher in AT.
lantic City, or Cape May.
or the two women, alleged confed-
crates OF the slayer one appears al.
most unquestionably to have been the
looter OF the bungalow at Cornwells,
on the night OF the murder. She is
said to be a sister OF the slayer De-
scriptions OF her furnished the police
tally perfectly with the description OF
the young and pretty woman who
called at the Seventhst. house OF the
physician early In last week and OF
whom the doctor seemed TO be In fear.
That the victim feared he would be
slain is shown by letter discovered
at the bungalow.
This letter found among memoranda
and records is a copy Of one sent TO a
friend by Wilson. II now Is In the
hands OF the coroner.
The letter reads:

A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

The acquittal of Chicago lad on
burglary charge on the ground that
he was a mental epileptic and was in
a somnambulistic state when he broke
into saloon he was accused of in
tending to rob. sets precedent in
criminal law that may prove to be
dangerous unless great caution is used
by courts and juries In future cases
where the defense is similar.
In this case the evidence showed
such strange conduct on the part of
the defendant that 1t was almost out
Of the question to believe his actions
were prompted by criminal intent. He
broke down the plate glass door Of a
saloon in thickly settled district and
the noise of the crash awakened peo-

been expected. He walked through

AMERICA AND msMs,"

A thoughtful utterance on the immi-
grafton question, to which attention
has been forcibly called lately by the
anarchistic outbreaks in different
quarters, was made last night in a
speech at Savannah, Ca, by Oscar S.
Straus, secretary of commerce and
labor. Secretary Straus protested
against the "isms" that are brought
across the seas by the disconnected
Of Europe He said:
Eve welcome the immigrant to our
country, the self-respecting and hon
est-minded alien, no matter from
what country he comes, who Is willing
to share with US, not only the bless
1nge, but also the duties and respon-
sibilities of our great country, but
they, as we'll as our own people, must
understand that in this land of liber-
ty, equality and justice there is no
room for socialism. communism. col
lectivism or any other form of "isn--
than Americanism, which rests upon
the ten commandments, the declara-
ton Of independence and the consti-
tuition of the Uunted States"
This is summarizing in para
graph truth that should be brought
home to the immigrant to our shores,
a truth that should be impressed to
the extent of enforcing the penalty of
deportation when the occasion de-
mands such forcible action.
