WEBER BOY WAS
SLAIN, ALLEGES
FATHER OF LAD
Says Story That He Is Alive in
Cave Is Frame
Up"

EGG HARBOR CITY, July pa
sensational turn was given to the
mysterious disappearance of John
Weber when the father of the lad
insisted that the boy is dead and that
enemies framed up" the story that
he had been found in a cave and was
still alive, and he says the detectives
who were working on the case fell
for It.
Mrs. Otto Weber. the mother Of tie
missing boy, also made a similar
peared before Prosecutor Moore. Sho
denied that she ever told Detective
Smith and Marshal Steif that she
had hidden the lad in a cave and was
feeding him daily.
On the other hand the marshal
makes a statement in which he says
the mother of the lad yesterday told
him she had hidden the boy in the
cave and was feeding him there, but
that her husband had been led 70
believe that the boy was dead.
The boys father said: II am sure
John was murdered. On the night of
June q he had q violent quarrel with
McMicken and the next morning he
was not to be seen. A small sledge
hammer which / had used that eve
ming was also missing. In my opinion
the boy was struck on the head and
either killed or rendered unconscious
Then a heavy weight was attached to
the body and it was cast overheard
in a deep part of the river. 1t is an
outrage that the report stating that
my wife admitted, the boy was alive
and in hiding should have been given
out by the detectives. McMicken
should have been held until the mys-
terry is cleared up and not allowed to
go free.
City Marshal Steiff. when told of
the statement by Weber said: Mrs.
Weber did admit that she knew where
he boy is and had been feeding him
1aily She stated to me that the boy
was back in the woods, and when I
asked her to get him for us she said
she would A short time later she

Penal code-Other Foreign News.
BY TIE Associated Press.

LONDON, July 25.-Whether Lon
doners really wear "a look of hope
less gloom, is question that has
stirred up the London newspapers,
following an interview with A. G..
Carmichael, the Australian politician,
who says they do. Many charges and
defenses of an indefinite kind have
been made.
One journal has sent out re-
porter for exact data. After wan
dering an hour through London's
busiest streets and covering such
centres Of life as the Strand and Lud-
gate Hill, the reporter discovered but
eleven smilers. OF the eleven with
cheerful faces, three were women OF
the coster class. two shop girls two
exchange employees and three news
vendors. The eleventh was a small
boy who was tormenting a horse by
Ticking a dirty handkerchief at its
nose.
The other thousands wore the Lon
con scowl," which the reporter de-
fines as deep, vertical frown be-
tween the eyebrows, puckered eyes,
a moody glance and the mouth drawn
in a tight line, dropping at the cor
ners."
One of the merry eleven, human
derelict selling papers on the en-
bankment, said that in his philosophy
he found it as easy to look happy
as glum.

o. $3.50. The porter approached while
the bandits were at work. One Of
them shot at him, the bullet striking

LONDON, July 25.-In spite of the
protests of persons and societies in
terested in the preservation of old
landmarks, the building at So or Sc
Great Queen street, known as Bos-
wells House, is doomed to make place
for modern Freemasons hall Be-
sides it's historical association with
Boswell, johnson, Garrick and other
distinguished men of that time, the
house is an interesting example of
seventeenth century design If not
done by lingo Jones, says one anti
quarian. it was at least the work of
one of the Jones's school.
BERLIN, July 25.-There are many
interesting phases of the proposal
to be laid before the Reichstag this
year for a revision of the penal code
whereby a convicted person II he
conducts himself blamelessIy for a
period of years may completely alb
solve himself from the stigma of
crime, so far as official records go.
At present statistics show that
every twelfth person in Germany is
''yorbestraft," that is, has a criminal
record The conviction may be for
| only petty misdemeanor, but after
meeting all requirements for punish
! ment under the law, the guilty per-
son is made to suffer in many ways
! from this blot upon his record Upon
later conviction for crimes they lose
| the benefit of milder penalties for
! persons of blameless records; and
| their credibility as witnesses suffers,
and they have difficulty in finding
| employment. While this rule holds to
! some extent in many countries. in
| Germany IL is carried to a greater
| length than elsewhere. A young man
| who has been fined for allowing his
dog to run loose in a park, for in
stance. is no longer a person of
r blameless life within the statute Civ
ing youths of a certain grade of edu-
cation the right to perform their mil
! itary service in one instead of two
or three years. These are only a
few of the disabilities attending q
