DESERVES HANGING
MARYLAND GOVERNOR WOULD
HANG NEW YORKER
Who Abducted and Carried OF
a Twelve-Year-Old Girl From Her
Brooklyn Home.

Baltimore, Feb. 4.-The Balti-
more grand jury today will indict
Joseph Janer,, who is accused of kid
mapping Katherine Loerch from her
home, 334 Classon avenue, Brook
lyn, and if he is convicted of the
crime charged, he may be hanged.
The Maryland authorities will re-
sist all attempts Of the Brooklyn Do-
lice to have Janer extra5ited and
will insist that he be tried here,
where death is the penalty.
The child, who will not be II
years old until the 22nd Of this
month, related the story of her abb
duction in the Central police court.
When she had finished the Mary
!and authorities, headed by the gov
ernor, were so enraged that they
decided to indict and try him within
a week, under Maryland law. Ar
ticle 27, section $50, of the code
of public general laws of Maryland,
provides for cases of this sort as
follows,
The offender being convicted
thereof, shall, at the discretion OF
the court, suffer death or imprison-
ment for life in the penitentiary or
ior definite period, not less than
Is months, nor more than 81 years.
Janer, who had been a friend OF
he girls paralyric father, and a
ooarder in her home, was arrested
in a barroom on Calvert street. He
had been drinking heavily there for
an hour, and the child he had stolen
stood shivering and crying in tbs
street outside.
He had forced her to wait there
Tor him since they had left a cheap
boarding house some hours before.
At police headquarters Janer was

such that no considerable portion

Three LIVING WIVES
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
IN NEW JERSEY CASE.
A Twelye-Iear-Old Boy Recognized
His Fathers Picture in a News
paper

Newark, n. j., Feb. 4.-There
were sensational developments today
in the case of Frank Wilhelm, the
contractor who was found murcer-
ed in his home here Monday. Tic
revelations include the charge that
Wilhelm had three wives living, and
that he had never been divorced.
Another occurrence of interest
was the action Of the police in sud-
denly bringing Mrs. Mary ]. Will
helm and Nicholas sicca, a hoarder
in the Wilhelm home, both held in
connection with the murder, into the
presence of the body Of the murder
ed man.
Mrs. Wilhelm, though she became
historical, withstood the test fairly
we'll, but Sicca was 50 disturbed that
his arraignment in court, set for to-
day, had to be postponed.
Mrs. Frederick Wilhelm, of New
York, claimed she was married to
Wilhelm in Jersey City in 1894,
soon after he had deserted his first
wife, Hannah H. Wilhelm, who was
also his step-sister. Two years later
she said, she discovered his perhdy.
When she accused him, he deserted
her, she alleged, and her year-old
daughter and baby soon to be
born, and fed with his step-sister
wife.
Since then she had not heard from
him until the child, then unborn,
and now lad of II years, read OF
MS murder in newspaper Tuesday.
ard recognized his picture in the
paper as that of the man whose pic
tuce, in their home, he had been
told was his father. Mrs. Frederick
Wilhelm does not know what be-
came of Hannah Wilhelm.
Mrs. Frederick Wilhelm and her
sister, Mrs. Maria Armater, of New
York, tainted at Wilheln's bier to-
day, while the funeral was in prog
ress, and when, as they declared,
they identified the dead man as the
husband of Frederick Wilhelm.
The last named fell dramatically
across the coffin In complete state
of collapse while her sitter slipped to
the floor in a faint.
Mrs. Mary J. Wilhelm, the wife
now held in connection with the
murder. was not permitted to attend
the funeral, although she had re-
cuested permission to do so.

SUNDAY LUNCHES
THE HOUSE REFUSED TO INTER
FERE IN MATTER.
Sabbath Observance Given as the
Principal Reason for Voting the

Bill Down.
Columb bia, Feb. 5.-The RuckeI
bill to prohibit any city or town tc
make it unlawful to sell lunches on
Sunday had another fight and was
finally killed by vote of 6S to As
by the house yesterday.
When third reading bills were
reached Mr.. Richards moved to re
commit the bill. He said he knew
it was unusual but he felt he would
be doing himself and those who be-
lieved in Sabbath observance an in
Justice if he did not protest against
such bill. The legislature had not
the right to enforce law of that
kind on towns that might want to
prohibit lunch selling on Sunday.
Mr.. Ruckec said his bill simply
allowing a hungry naa to get some
thing to eat when he Travelled on
Sunday. He had I'D patienc. with
the SNUG believer in Sabbath observ-
ance who denied a lunch to the trav-
eler while enjoying hot dinner at
home.
Mr. McMahan said it was dang
erous to 1neddIe with local police
regulations. 1t would not be just,
for instance, to say to a strict re-
Iigious community like Due West
that it should have the same local
ordinances as Colum bia. The entire
principle was wrong. The bill on
an aye and nay call was accordingly
killed.
