Last on Scene
Held For Crime

Jacksonville, Fla, May 18.-John T.
Wilford, printer, is under arrest IN
der suspicion of having struck his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Julia B. Green,
what it seems viii prove a fatal blow.
The woman is in the hospital and up
to noon was unconscious.
Later she revived slightly and a
physician attempted to talk with her.
She seemed to be partially conscious
of her surroundings, and he asked di-
rectly to learn who had struck the
blow. The woman refused to state,
saying she didn't want to tell. Then
she lapsed INTO Inconsistencies again.
Every effort will be made to secure q
statement from her tomorrow
The physician holds out some hope
for her recovery, tut state that her
condition is critical, the wound being
such that death may result as any
moment
Mrs. Green was found Monday after
noon by a grocery boy lying in pool
of her own blood in the rear yard OF
her home. m

tiny little daughter, barely able to
walk, and just learning to talk. The
cries of the child as from sheer lone
liness. she lost interest in, the sticks
with which she played, created sympa-
thy in the hearts of the big police-
men, who stopped her walls with
drink Of water The child seemed
famished from lack of water
The blood upon the woman's face
and head had become clotted, and her
arms were freshly sunburned, leading
to the theory that she had laid in an
unconscious condition for several
hours. The breakfast dishes upon the
table had not been cleaned, and there
were other evidences that the woman
had not completed her morning work.
