MOEN STRANDED;
CAN GET $4,000
HERE, HE ASSERTS
Newark Claimant to 500, 900
Penniless in Providence After
Spending 81, 900 in Month.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. Feb. 14--Ledi
Washburn Moep, of Newark, N. j.,
who is also known as DOC" Wilson,
is stranded in this city after spend
ing $1,000 in the last month, ac-
cording to his statements Moen ad-
mitted last night that he was PEN
niless, temporarily at least, but
added, "If you can send me to New
ark, or to Worcester or Uxbridge,
Mass, l could raise $4,000 in five
minutes"
Moen claims to be son of the
late Philip L. Moen, the "barbed
wire king" of Worcester, Mass, and
has always insisted that he had legal
rights to s1,5OO,0oo of the estate left
by Moen.
When told that the present mem
bcrs of the Moen family, who now
live in Boston, had denied that he
had the slightest claim against the
estate, he produced a paper, which
purported to be copy of receipi
given by him to Mrs. Moen for s32, SOC
in acknowledgment of all claims he
might have against her for the year
1918. He showed also a Cancelled
check for $1,000, drawn by him
against Newark bank and indorsed
by Frank M. McDermit, a Newark
lawyer He said that McDermit had
advanced him this money in order to
aid him in travelling to Boston and
pressing his claim. He says he had
In the past month spent every cent
of the $1,000.
The Moen- Wilson case is historic
and there is the testimony of the
''barbed wire king himself on the
witness stand in litigation years ago
that he had paid Wilson fully $500. 200.
He stated emphatically that it was
given as blackmail. But when he died
Moen left, according to Wilson and
Lawyer McDermit, a curious trust
fund. This money was to be used in
prosecuting Wilson and falling him, If
he attempted to collect money from
the Moen estate by "blackmail." But,
if at the end of twenty years. Wilson
had not been convicted of criminal
methods of obtaining money from the
estate, the S750,000, with accrued in
terest, was to go to him.
The secret of his hold on the mil
lionaire during life was the alleged
discovery that he was Moen's son by
first wife.
Frank NJ. McDermit said today that
he had not known of Moen's where
abouts for five or six weeks past, but
admitted that when Moen left New
ark he had in his possession about
s., 900 in cash that he (McDermit) had
obtained for him.
Mr.. McDermit would not say where
this money came from, but intimated
that it was a part of a settlement OF
Moens claims against the Philip l..
Moen estate.

legged Attack.

Norman Anderson, known the world
over in bicycle circles, was today held
by Judge Simon Hahn in the First
Precinct Court without bail to await
the outcome of injuries to Anthony
Gaieti, of Essex avenue, Orange, who
lies in the City Hospital. suffering
from fractured skull.
Doctors at the hospital say Gaieti
will die. The fracture is located at
the base of the skull. In the event of
his death. the charge of assault with
intent to kill. upon which Anderson
was held today, may be changed to
one of murder.
The alleged assault upon Gaieti is
said to have occurred in the saloon
owned by James connorton, at 112
Academy street, on Thursday, where
Anderson is employed as a bartender.
a fight is said to have taken place.
Found Lying in street.
The next trace the police authori
ties have of the affair comes from
pedestrians who found Gaieti lying
unconscious on the sidewalg in front
of the place. blood streaming from
his ears and mouth. He was trans
fered to the City Hospital and has
not since regained consciousness.
Word was telephoned police head
make an investigation. Their trail
led them to Anderson. who stoutly
denied having struck Gaieti. He is
said to have admitted 10 the police,
however, that he did put Gaieti out
of the saloon In his belief. Gaieti
fell after leaving the saloon. This.
according to the City Hospital physi-
clans. was impossible. the location Of
the injury being such as to warrant
them in believing that the man was
struck and did not fall.
Singing under their defeat in a re-
cent murder case members of the de-
tective bureau were out today scour-
ing the neighborhood in which the
alleged assault is said to have taken
place, with view of getting positive
evidence of the attack. Their search

thing.

remarkable growth during the season
Of 1912.
Only few years trees were set out
during the spring Of 1912 A close
observation OF the trees previously set
out has indicated that the American
gray or white willow and green ash are
best adapted for ~indbreaks and for.

ing Of trees has been in rows eight feet
apart and four feet apart In the rows.
The Russian golden willow has given
fine results as ornamental hedges,
