Doctor Goes
To Trial For
Death of Wife

MINETLA, N. Y, June 2.-(Unit-
ed Press. DIR. Walter Keen Wilkins,
81 years old, is scheduled to face
trial in Nassau county court today
for the murder of his wife, Julia, at
their Long Beach hoEle on February
9th, last. Justice Seeger will pre-
side.
Intense interest wac manifested in
the outcome of the case, which will
be tried in the same court room in
which Mrs. Jacques Lebaudy, and
Mrs. Blanca De SauIles, faced a
judge and jury charged with the mur-
der of their husbands. Both were
acquitted.
Many peculiar circumstances sur
round Mrs. wilkins murder. DR..
wilkins story was that they returned
to their summer home at Long Beach
from New York City, Opening the
door, the doctor said he was struck
on the head with blunt instrument
Three men then grabbed Mrs. wilkins
and struck her severar times on the
head. She died within an hour DR..
Wilkins told this story to the police,
and while the three men were being
hunted Wilkins disappeared. For
several days the police instituted a
countrywide search, without finding
any trace of the physician.
Then it was reported he had been
seen in Baltimore. While detectives
were searching that city, the aged
doctor was recognized in the Penn
sylvania station, New York, despite
the fact he had shaved off his mutton
chop whiskers and otherwise changed
his appearance. He made no attempt
to deny his identity, said he was on
his way to surrender to the police
and was Immediately taken into GUS
tody. An indictment charging mur-
der in the first degree was found,
and he has since been in the county
Jail here awaiting trial.

that such a charge should be brought
against me-"

BERLIN GONE MAD OVER GAMBLING {
FIVE HUNDRED CLUBS WHERE MILLIONS ARE LOST
NICHTLY-STREET GAMBLING ALSO

rectors get 100000 marks per year.
At no time in history has there
been so much gambling at such high
stakes. At some clubs 100000
marks changing hands each night.
The gamblers want to have all the ac-
ton out of their fortunes before
either the tax collector or the Boil
sheviks gets them.
But not only the wealthy are in
fected with the bacillus. In the
streets of Berlin people may be seen
lose fifty or more marks at single
turn at roulette" One day SOL
dier, having lost 500 marks, arrested
the bankholder and, being attacked
by the latters friends, threw hand
grenade, killing himself and wound
ing several others.
The real gambling fever began dur
ing the last two years of the war and
seemingly had not reached its highest
point yet. During the last four weeks
about two hundred new clubs have
been licensed. One Of the new rights
the revolution has provided for every
free citizen" seems to be gambling
club of his own.
To prevent robbery of the clubs,
the military authorities provide the
clubs with guards according to the
size of them. In order to draw the
customers the owners give weekly
free dinners of large number of
courses and all the champagne you
want to drink.

Americans Lost
Their Mascot

LONDON, June 2.-The story of
how the American air force adopted
bright, curly-haired English boy
named Loveridge as their mascot was
told here at the police court when
the child was charged with sleeping
out" The chapters of his career
were as follows:
Parents killed in an air raid in Oc-
tober, 1917.
Boy adopted as mascot by 186th
Squadron, American air force.
Handed over to 1>Srd Squadron,
when 186th went to France.
Given to 228th Squadron, when
153rd crossed the channel.
No. 228 Squadron ordered home.
Tried hard to persuade the British
government to allow them to take
their little mascot with them, but the
government said: "No, not for four
years"
So the Americans left their little
comrade behind. The boy, bereft of
friends and destitute, was found
asleep under hayrick, and was taken
to the police court.
After hearing his tragic story, the
magistrate said: you mustn't mind
being in the dock, my boy; you have
nut done anything wrong" The boy
was placed in the care of the mis-
sionary who promises 10 look after
him and find him proper work
