ASK IF STATE CAN

OFFER TO SCIENCE

NEW YORK. Dec. ATTORNEY
General Egbert E. Woodbury. 1t was

on whether John Frank Hickey, con
fessed murderer Of little Joseph
Josephs. OF Buffalo: Edward Morey.
Of Lowell, Mass. and young Michaei
Kruck. Of New York, can give him
self up TO cancer experiments in the
interests Of science.
Hickey made the same offer a year
ago, but his name was never made
public. The then attorney-g general,
Carmody, Of New York State, decided
that the State could not legally &C
cept Hickey's offer. EIickey's second
offer, made through Thomas Mott
Osborne, millionaire and sociologist
warden Of Sing Sing, was made seV-
eral days ago. Every effort was
made TO keep the name Of the "Au-
burn lifer" secret, but il became
known generally today. The offer
continued to be the chief topic today
among medical men, sociologists and
State officials. Many prominent
physicians and others favor permit
ting Hickey to give himself up TO
cancer innoculation. Others are bit

particularly revolving In many ways
they resembled the killings of little
boys by Jesse Pomeroy. the famous
Charlestown prison inmate. who has
spent nearly forty years in solitary
confinement for crimes committed in
Boston
The Josephs child was killed near
his home in Buffalo, and the body,
terribly mutilated, found in sewer
by police, who were directed to the
spot by a postcard. The postcard
was traced to Hickey, then in Whit
Ing, y. J.. through identification OF
the handwriting by Hickey's former
employer in Buffalo.
In Whiting is a semi-private retreat
for inebr.ates Those who can pay
do. but it receives many charity pa
tents. There Hickey was found su-
pervising the construction of con-
crete bridge as his way of paying for
his board and treatment. He had
been in the place once before, was
well liked there and had been vel
coined back.
When arrested he took his plight
| calmly. He admitted having been in
Buffalo on the day the crime was
committed and having been in Lacka-
wanna, but that, he said, did not
prove that he was the murderer.
After his conviction of the Josephs
murder, Hickey admitted maltreating
and then Staying Michael Kruck,
and told how he killed Edward
Morey, half-witted boy, twenty
years ago, in Lowell. He also de-
clared he had attacked "about twenty
! other little boys
Hickey's plea Of insanity saved
him from the chair. He was SEN
fenced to from twenty years to life
| after experts had declared him alb
| normal and irresponsible.

Italy Has Won TripOli
Market for Its Products

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Commerce
of Tripoli is being won by Italy today
as a result of the war. American
Consul Dorsey, of Tripoh, reported
to the state department that since
the outbreak of the war Italy has
been making "a supreme effort to
establish all Italian products in the
new colony"
Sugar which Tripoi formerly pur-
chased from France, Germany, AUS
tria and Belgium is now being sup
piled by Italian merchants. England,
which for years, according to Dorsey,
controlled the dry goods market, is
losing the trade to Italy, although in
1918 England supplied siXty-two per
cent. of this goods for Libla.
Dorsey advised American exporters
to get busy" and go after the Trip
olitan trade.
THE demands of this market are
limited, but certain articles" Dorsey
said, reach substantial values each
year and may yield profitable open
ings for American goods"
