fs-year-old Malcolm clifford of

est heroes this country has ever
produced mere boy, who. like
a knight of old, IL gladly riding

Or
Is fs-year-old Malcolm Clifford
simply one Of the cruelest of cold

trial In the courts of the Empire
stste-and doubiy cruel I'm that
his victim. II VICTIM HE WAS,
had never harmed a hair of his
head; did not even know him?
Such is the two-headed ques-
tion now being asked by young
Gifford's millionaire friends here,
by all. Indeed, who knows any
thing at all of the battling crime
of which he is accused ON this,
the eve of his trial for the allee-
ed murder of young Frank J.
Clute, Albany chauffeur?
On the morning of April 2,
1918, a miIkman, driving along
between Albany and Troy, saw an
empty automobile standing at the
side of the road. He found the
cushions soaked with blood, and
in a ditch he discovered the body
of Frank ]. Clute, who had been
killed by three bullets fired into
the back of his heads
Clute, IS years old. was the son
of an Albany liveryman.
Between 8 and $3.50 on the
evening of April / other chauf-
feurs saw a man approach CIute
and hire the car. The next
morning Clute's body was found.
For nearly a year there was not
a clsw to the assassin. The eoun-
ty authorities were absolutely baf-
fled.
Then, one day I'm March of this
year, workmen on the roof at the
home of Henry l.. Boardman
found CIute's pocketbook. II
contained the chauffeur's license
and other papersi The money
was missing!
Within a few days county de-
tectives had under surveillance
Malcolm clifford, jr.. 1s-year-old
son of a rich manufacturer Of
Hudson, N. Y, a short distance
from Albany. In April young
Clifford was arrested, lodged in
prison and charged with the muir
der of Clutei
On the last day of March his
father gave him $40 to go to
Hoosick and attend a dance that
evening, then to a dinner and
dance at the Troy City club on
the evening of April 1.
Clifford went to the dance in
Hoosick, went to Troy the next
day, and the evening of April /
found him a guest of Derrick L.
Boardman, a boy of his own age.
Two other boys we're in the house
party.
Boardman and the other two
boys started for the dinner at the
club. Clifford left them, saying
he would not attend the diner, but
would arrive later About IL
O'Clock he rejoined the other
boys. They noticed that his
clothes were disordered and mud
stained. He said he had been to
fire. II is a fact that THERE

EDDIE COLLINS, STAR AT SECOND ].
FOR MACKMEN, SOLD TO CHICAGO

Philadelphia, Dec. S.-Eddie Collins,
star second baseman. was today sold
to the Chicago Americans. According
to Connie Mack, manager OF the
champion Athletics, negotiations have
been under way for some time and the
deal was contaminated in New York
today, the contracts being signed in
that city.
Mr. Mack declined to make public
the amount of money involved In the
deal, but there is a report that it was
S50, 900.
Whether the Philadelphia manage
ment decided to part with Collins, be-
cause the cash consideration offered
was so large that it could nto be re-
sisted, OF the club had decided that a
change was necessary, could not be
learned. The Federal League last year
tried to get Collins, but he remained
loyal to the Athletics, and last sum-
mer signed a contract for a term of
years. 1t was reported that the cd
erals had offered Collins $4,000 a year
for three years.
Edward Trowbridge Collins is q
years old and is graduate of Column
bia University where he received his
early baseball education.
Since he became a regular on the
Athletics he was easily the star OF
Connie Mack's famous 100000 infield.
He has led the American League as a
base runner and has always been we'll
