Last Relief Ships for
Europe Being Loaded

Americas task of feeding the starv-
ing peoples of Europe is nearing COM
pletion.
An announcement made by the
American relief administration yester-
day said that the last shipments Of
supplies, now being made up. with the
food at present in transit, will be suffi-
cient to carry Europe through until
the next harvest.
Despite the approaching end of it's
activities the American relief admin
istration will remain in Europe for
some time to supervise the child-feed-
ing bureaus, now furnishing daily sup
Elementary meals to 100000 children,
until individual nations are able to
take active charge themselves.
The total amount of supplies dis
tributed by the administration from
December l to May 80 was 2,4S6,23O
tons, comprising 512 shiploads worth
$685., 900.
Independent telegraph and wireless
service between all of the principal cap
itals under direct control of the relief
administration involved the exclusive
use of over 5000 miles of telegraph
wires in Europe. This was necessitated
by the complete disintegration of COM
munications of all descriptions
throughout Europe during the war.

DIR. Wilkins Breaks
Down and Weeps;
Innocent, He Says
Loved Wife, Prisoner Sobs;
Saws s'Terrible Mistake
Has Been Made; Charges
Intimidation of Jurors

MINEOLA, N. Y, June 2S.-Dr.
Walter Keene wilkins broke down and
wept to-day in the cell in the Nassau
County Jail here, where he will re-
main under close guard till he is taken
into court Tuesday to be sentenced to
die for the murder of his wife.
81 loved that woman to her death" :"
the aged prisoner sobbed over and
over again. "a terrible mistake has
been made They have convicted an
innocent man."
Later DR.. wilkins issued a state
ment charging that jurors who were
for acquitting him had been intimi-
had been assaulted by a colleague dur
ing the twenty-five hour deliberations.
Sheriff Seaman and County Detective
Plant will take DR.. Wilkins to the
death house at Sing Sing mediately
after sentence is pronounced. Charles
N. Wysong, the convicted mans coun-
sci, declared to-day he will carry the
case to the Court of Appeals, and, if
necessary. appeal to Governor Smith
for clemency.
DIR. wilkins partook this morning Of
the regular Jail breakfast. but his ap-
petite is not good, attendants say.
In his statement the prisoner cited
the loud and angry talk of the jurors
while deliberating, which was heard by
others in the courthouse, as bearing out
his charge that the agreement on
first degree murder verdict was brought
about only after much discussion. One
of the jurors said to-day none Of the
twelve expressed doubt of DR.. Wilkins's
guilt, and that the first ballot was six
for first degree and six for second de-
gree murder
DR.. Wilkins's statement follows:
The verdict the jury rendered Ger
tainly was unlocked for and stunned
me- was placed in a room Thursday
night, all night, with a guard that was
relieved every two hours. This room
was directly under the jury room. 1t
was high posted room, 18-foot cell
ing. The noise of angry voices that
reached us-threatening ard calling Of
guards all said that they never before
heard such riot going on in jury
room--the jumping or falling on the
floor would shake the ceiling.
"Whcn the jury returned to the
courtroom one of the jurors addressed
Judge Manning. saying that he wished
to report an occurrence in the jury
room. The judge said that he did not
care to hear anything that occurred in
the jury room. | think Ibis was an
error of judgment. l think this man
would have stated that he was as
saulted by another juror for disagree
ing with him. 1t was undoubtedly true
that physically strong jurors were in
timidatng weaker JURORS by brow
beating them and threatening them for
disagreeing
"The verdict was an erroneous one
and an innocent man has been con-
victed. Mrs. Wilkins was my devoted
companion, my nurse and financial
hacker. No man ever was more con-
siderate or devoted to his wife than
was to her. I needed her more than
she did me-"
