SO you think your boy is q
prodigy? But every man thinks his
own son is the most wonderful being
that ever breathed."
81 tell you this youngster Is re-
markable, no matter how you may
sneer. I've seen him do thing that
l don't suppose any other boy of his
age could possibly do"
What's his speciality? Mathemat'
ics?"
Mathematics? 1 should say not.
He hasn't any more of a head for fig
ures than l have, and learning the
multiplication table was the hardest
work l ever did in my life"
In what branch of science does he
seem to be particularly Interested?
He isn't interested in science at
all; but the other day a friend OF mine
who has a big automobile left the ma
chine standing in front of my house
for more than half an hour, and, al
though the boy was playing around
outside all the time he did not once
climb into the automobile or even tOOt
the horn"

SOCIALIST Philosopher
IN POVERTY ENDS LIFE
Writes Note: q Am Afflicted in
Mind, Body and Estates"
Drinks Morphine

DENVER. Oct. 21.-"Afflicted in
mind, body and estate and untitled to
cope with the material world" as he
wrote in the message he left behind
him, George Hubert Williams, aged AZ,
Socialist and philosopher at Marysville,
Cal. came to Denver three days ago
apparently for the sole purpose of TAX
ing his life.
He drank morphine at a local hotel
Wednesday night. Twenty hours later
he was found unconscious in ms room
and removed to a hospital, where ne
died last night.
On the dresser in Williams room at
the hotel was found this note, written
with an indelible pencil and stained
blue as though by tears:
"I have drifted into dreary middle
life. Poverty-stricken and friendless.
1 view with alarm the prospect of de-
pendent old age. I never was fitted to
cope with the material world and am
afflicted in mind, body and estate.
81 hope this is the last paper shall
see for any purpose. l pray that my
lodge brothers will break the news as
gently as possible to my wife, as she
has heart disease. She is Of the Wood
craft. I am a Woodman of the World
in good standing in Evergreen, Wash.
WIFE AT NIARYsvILLE
my name is George Hubert Will
liams. My wife's address is Marysville,
Cal My sons address is 1922 street,
Sacramento"
Among Williams effects was discov-
cred a small notebook, the pages. of
which were filled with closely written
philosophical essays and epigrams on
religion, morality, Justice and politics,
most Of which were apparently his
own. The book showed Williams to
have been a man of education and cul-
ture. 'sH
Extracts from his notebook follow:
Poverty is the forcing bed of crime.
When poverty is abolished then will
crime cease"
"True religion, which will come, must
embody an understanding of phen-
omena while the human shall. still be
| devout and humble"
Morality is custom, the pace being
set by the parasitical classes ,compris-
ing Society Modern morality is ad-
herence to custom"

gods. Right is matter of tempera-
ment."

SANTA FH, N. M, Oct. 21.-A sem
sation will be sprung in the New Mex
leo constitutional convention tomorrow

Defense ReSts-verdict in Fa-

ToBIN REVIEWS EVIDENCE
Claims Conflict of Expert Testi-
mony Makes Decision Of
Guilt Impossible
ToBIN REVIEWS EVIDENCE

LONDON, oct. 21.--The defense in
the case of Or. Hawley a. Crippen.
charged with the murder of his wife,
rested today with the summing up adj
dress by Alfred A. Tobin.
Richard Muir will close for the
prosecution tomorrow, after which the
case win go to the jury A verdict to-
morrow afternoon is expected.
For four hours today DR.. Crippen was
subjected to q searching cross exam
ination by Mr.. Muir. He stood the
ordeal we'll. His answers We're given
in calm, well modulated voice and
at no time did he lose his composure.
This was not without an effort on his
part and when he returned to the
prisoners dock he was deathly pale
and appeared to be almost collapsing.
Crippen clung to his original story:
His wife's fondness for another led to
an estrangement; she threatened fre-
auently to leave him and finally made
good her threats; he had no idea what
became of her.
He told the stories of her death, he
said, only to cover up a scandal and
fled when he realized he had permitted
suspicion to be directed toward him
self. He had purchased hyoscin, but
only to be used in the preparation of
medicines He admitted, however,
that he had bought the drug on but
one occasion and he could not name
any one for whom he had prescribed
1t.
MARK NOT SCAR
The defense called two medical ex-
perts who gave the opinion that the
mark found on the body unearthed in
the cellar of Crippen home was not a
scar. Experts for the prosecution had
sworn a scar existed and the crown
had attempted to prove that 1t cor
responded with a wound made by a
surgeons knife on the body or Belle
Elmore twelve years ago.
Crippen said Ethel Claire Leneve
slept in his home on the night of the
day following. the date of his wife's
disappearance.
Addressing the jury, Mr.. Tobin re-
viewed the evidence at length, con-
tending that in view of the conflict
ing testimony of medical experts, 1t
was impossible for the jury to find a
verdict of guilty. =.
He said it was inconceivable that II
Crippen had murdered his wife and
mutilated her body he should invite
Miss Ijeneve to sleep in the house on
the following day. Crippen would have
had only the night of February l In
which to dissect the body, bury the
flesh and. get rid of the head and limbs
He must have known the risks of such
a visit as Miss 4Leneve made.
Regarding the non-appearance IN
court of the quartermaster of the
| steamer Montrose, counsel said the
man would be rendered liable to 9
charge of impeding the police If he
corroborated the testimony of Cripper
| that the quartermaster and he hao
arranged for the pretended suicide OF
the doctor.
When Mr.. Tobin closed the court was
| adjourned.
