1t viii be remembered that
lanes Canter's elder brother,
Luther Canter, was eletrocuted
for the murder of Mrs. Wilson
last summer, and that as part
|of his final statement before
his death. he claimed TO have
been responsible alone FIR the
assault and murder Of Mrs.
Wilson, having reiterated that
his younger brother, James,
had no part in the brutal trag-
edy In spite of this declaration,
there are those who are dis
posed TO believe that both
brothers had an understanding
ard that both were guilty. The
tragedy was II 1doubtedly the
most revolving in the criminal
annals OF Washington country.
In the event a new trial is
granted, it is probable that a
motion for change of venue
will be entered. Sentiment was
