NORTH PROVIDENCE, R. T., March
29.-The entire police power of the
state was ordered into action today
following conference between Gov
ernor Pothier and Adjutant General
Rice to solve what already has proved
the most mysterious and brutal crime
in the history of the state. Twelve
year old Willie Matthers, the crack
student of his class, disappeared after
leaving school one month ago today.
The entire country around this town
was carefully searshed and it was

naped. v m w
Yesterday Charlie Green, while
walking across Moses Angel Hill, saw
what he thought was a torn bundle Of
rags. He was Mortified to find that It
was the decomposed body of small
boy. The police recognized the
clothes as those worn by Willie Math-
ers when he disappeared.
The child had been terribly mutilat-
ed and murdered. An autopsy show
ed that the body had been mutilated
before death and that most of the
clothing had been torn from it. The
autopsy showed that death had result
ed from the skull being crushed.
The police arrested 17-year-old
youth, but released him. A number of
assaults on children in this vicinity
have been reported and there is a
growing belief that an insane crimin-
al is at large.
