At Atlantic City

Motive Of the Crime Not Known.

that Charles II. Roberts, the wealthy
clublnan of Baltimore, was shot by d
highWayman while in Il rolling chair
on the board walk with Mrs. w. S. G..
Williams, also of Baltimore Wednes-
day hight, the police of this city to-
night are still working upon the theo-
ry that the Baltimorean was the vic
tim of a revengeful man. While they
will not say that they believe Mrs. Will
liams' husband knows something
about the shooting, they admit that he
will not be eliminated from the case
until he has proven conclusively and
to their satisfaction that he not only
WAS not in Atlantic City but that he
was entirely ignorant of the shooting
and the circumstances which led up to
it. SO determined are they in this di-
rection that Detective Harry Wilson
was sent to Baltimore today to make
a thorough investigation.
Their attitude in the matter was TAX
en- when The parties involved declared
that Roberts had been held up by
highwayman on the board walk. The
authorities accept such statements as
reflection on the manner in which the
board walk strollers are protected and
the promenade policed. The wounded
man is still in a serious condition at
the City hospital His condition IS con-
silered dangerous and the physicians
will not probe for the bullet in his
liver until his condition improves,
They fear that to operate upon him
right now might prove fatal
Mrs Williams is still at the Hotel
