IN answer TO some OF the queries as to
who saw him or Wednesday and Thurs
Gay. Mr.. Williams. evidently thought the
detectives referred 10 social visitors. and
replied that nobody had seen him except
the sweaters as 1e called the report
ers. When explained 20 him that what
was wanted was what persons about the
house or on the farm saw him. he showed
no reluctance 10 give the Information
Reza-5inE HIS movements on the two
DAYS in question, he was frank IN his
replies. and gave every indication Of a
man who had nothing whatever 10 con-

While every effort was being made BY
1 the Baltimore police 10 throw as much
I light as possible in the direction Of Will
Z lam 5. G Williams as the man who shot
[ Roberts At Atlantic City. it was held by
many IN touch with the situation here to
day thar the Atlantic City police were
using the Williams end as a blind, and
that the name Of another man in high
I social standing had been mentioned in
t connection with the case
I Those in authority at headquarters

was understood that the detectives
( in charge Of the case have been

questioning in that direction. and that
( The leaders Of the social world have be

Z Headquarters Detectives Hsmmerslea

Z Of Atlantic City. have interviewed a num-
! Der OF prominent Baltimoreans.
In an interview to-day M Robert
( De Ford, a brother Of Mrs. Williams.
/ said
Positive of HOId-up.
He greatly deprecated the many re-
ports that are being circulated. There
/ IS nothing in this case except that II
was a hO-d-Up. and the Atlantic City
/ police are endsavoring 10 shield them
selves at our expense. II they would
/ devote little more atteuton to the
man VINO shot M Roberts they would
I be doing something really worth while.
{ What We want Is the capture of the
J assaflant-
The theory that It was ". s. G. VII
iams who did the shooting is the veT-
/ lest nonsense. Ny sister and her hus-
band have always gotten along well to-
gethe-. Indeed 7 don't believe that
I they ever had a misunderstanding. They
/ have always been together. and as far
as I know. this is the first time they
were ever separated for any length OF
/ time
TT IS true that Nj. Williams runs
over to London now ard then, but hun
dreds Of married men do the same thing
and there is no reason why this should
be held up as an indication that NJ
and Mrs Williams do not get along
harmoniously. and sought their pleasure
separately
This summer Nj Williams was not
{ feeling very well when he said thai
1 he thought he would run over to Carls-
bad and take the baths as the trir
across the ocean always benefited him. "
