Investigate Causes of

floors.
Supervisor Baldwin told Mr.. Hen
ingham that as he was the general
contractor of the work the committee
looked to him and not to the sub-con-
tractors to hurry the work along.
Messrs. Hurd and Sutton, the archi-
tects, who were present, took part in
the investigation, n they asked Mr..
Heningham what the trouble was with
the cement flooring, and he replied that

Edward S. Black, counsel for Mrs.

who was murdered in his home on Feb
ruary 1, announced today the details
of his clue as to the real culprit In the
mystery. Mr.. Black said:
I'm a public statement made by me
last week I said that Nicolas S. Sica
was not the person named as CO.
respondent in the petition for divorce
that was drawn by me at the request
of Frank Wilhelm, and that 1 did not
believe that he is the person who MUIR
dered Mr.. Wilhelm. I further stated
that I expected a letter this week from
Woodstown, Salem county, New Jer-
sey, in regard to an italian who was
seen in that town.
That letter I have now received. 1t
is from Mayor e. S. Fogg, of Woods
town. The letter states that at about

a cigar store in thai town, was waited
upon by a young man, rather neatly
dressed, who was seeking a nights
lodging. The councilman took the

THE young man nae a seal on the
right side of his head in front of the
ear, which he said was caused by the
accidental discharge of a gun some time
previous. The mayor gave permission
for the young man to have a cot in the
lookup over night, n the councilman
took him down and locke him UP, re-
leasing him next morning.
I'm his mail hat morning the mayor
received a letter and a Paterson paper
containing an account of Mr.. Wilhelm,s
murder. The Italian at once came to
the mayors mind, and he had the bor-
ough marshal telephone the chief of
police of Newark that such a man was
In the neighborhood.
The Newark officials replied thai
they had the murderer in custody and
did not want their man, SO the mayor
took no further steps and saw no more
of the ledger. He does not know where
he vent. The tramp said he was an
MILAN, and he was apparently not
rEbre than rs years old. He was con-
siderably above the average hobo in ap-
p~earance and dress. The Newark Of

wanted.
Sure the Slayer Has Escaped.
My suspicion is now stronger than
ever that the man who murdered Mr..
Wilhelm escaped from Newark on the
night of the murder, and there are
several suspicious circumstances in con-
nection with the Italian who was seen
at Woodstown. He did not give his
name to the Woodstown officials, and
the fact that he was seeking a nights
lodging is a very suspicious circum-
stance, considering the fact that he was
not dressed like a tramp. l feel salts
fed that his clue should be thoroughly
investigated.
GAS I stated las. week, I am not
counsel for Nicolas s.. Sica, and have
no interest whatever, professionally or
otherwise, in clearing him of the
charge of numbering Mr.. Wilhelm, If he
is the guilty man."
