SMITHSONIAN FINDING
MAY OPEN PRISON DOOR
Convicted Alabama Man Hopes to
Disprove Murder Charge Through
Examination of Bones.

After serving in prison for more than
a year. on the charge of numbering
his wife and child, William Wilson of
Blount county, Ala, hopes to obtain
his liberty on evidence furnished all
unknowingly by the Smithsonian In
stitution.
DR.. A. Hrdlicka. curator of physical
anthropology at the institute. had no
suspicion, when an assortment of old
bones was sent him several months ago
from Birmingham, Ala, that he and the
Smithsonian Institution were to be in
volved in a murder case. But this is
what has happened, If the tale, as it
comes from Birmingham, Is true.
DR.. Hrdlicka declares that he and the
institution have been imposed upon,
and that under no circumstances could
his report on the bones be used as
expert testimony unless furnished by
him in person.
William Wilson, well known former
citizen of Blount county, Ala, was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for twenty
five years on the charge of numbering
his wife and child. Wilson's fate hung
for months. 1t is said, on whether or
not the bones found under a bluff near
his home were those of his wife and
child. or belonged to Indians who for
home.
His Wife Had Left Him.
Wilson's wife had left him, taking
the child with her. Wilson claimed ig-
norance of his wife's whereabo bouts, but
in his trial for murder it was testified
he had threatened the woman with
violence If she returned. Many months
after the disappearance a pile of bones
was fou:i under a bluff near his home.
and were reported to be the remains
eli the dead wife and child.
With a view of proving them of In
dian origin they were sent to the Ala
hama department of archives and his
tory, but experts there were unable to
were sent to DR., Hrdlicka at the
:.so.
After careful examination and study
o. the bones. without the slightest
suspicion as to any use of which his
{ stimony might be used, DIR. Hrdlicka
about three weeks ago reported that
the bones belonged to four or Ave per-
sons, adults and children, and that
there was no possibility of Identifying
Them as to race. but evidently they
came from very old burial.
This evidence, according to the re-
port from Alabama, is regarded as ia
Vorable for Wilson. and he is expected
to obtain his liberty on this evidence
when his application for pardon Is
Brought before the next meeting of
the state pardon board.
