of Stationer,
Friend of DR.. Wilkins,
May Clear His Name

NEW YORK, July 1.-two strik-
ing features in the brutal murder Of
Gardiner c. Hall. the aged stationer,
last week, and that of Mrs. Walker
X. wilkins, may result in clearing
the name OF the Long Beach physi-
clan who committed suicide when con-
victed of Staying his wife.
The outstanding feature from which
the friends Of the dead physician take
most is the similarity of method in
the two crimes. The other is that
Hull was a witness in the trial of
DR.. wilkins and his business part
ner, the Rev. August Deppisch, was
one of the last persons TO see DR.. Will
kins alive in his cell in the MineoIa
Jail.
Hull was terribly beaten by rob-
bers in his office early last Friday
morning and died last Saturday with
out being able to make a statement.
Mrs. wilkins also died after a severe
beating about the head-by robbers,
DR.. wilkins claimed until his death:
by the physician himself. the State
claimed and convicted him.
Hull Knew DIR. wilkins Well.
Hull, who was fifty-eight years old,
had known DIR. wilkins for many
years, and was convinced of the ply
sician's innoncence.

WATTS
DIES AT HOSPITAL

News has just reached Washington
Of the death in Philadelphia Sunday
Of Ethelbert Watts, who resigned
two weeks ago from the consular
service after longer activity in the
service than any other American. Mr..
Watts had been at the university
hospital for treatment for a cOmpl-
cation of diseases. His condition had
been critical for a number Of days,
and his death followed a relapse Sun
day night. Many prominent men will
attend his funeral.
Mr.. Watts was born in Philadelphia
February %. 1S45. He was educated
in preparatory schools in Paris and
later went to the University Of Penn
sylvania and the University of Erie
berg in Saxony. He was appointed as
United States consul to Horgen, Switz-
erland, in 1896, by President Cleve-
land, where his ability at once be-
came known in the diplomatic world.
He was sent in 1897 to Cairo. Egypt,
where he was in charge during the
Spanish-American war, rendering
distinctly valuable service there by
preventing the Spanish fleet from
coaling before going through the SUez
Canal. Later he served In Kingston,
Jamaica; Prague, Bohemia, and in st.
Petersburg, Russia, where he served
as consul general
He was decorated for his work
there by the Japanese government FOR
protecting their interests during the
apanese-Russian war. He was sent
to Brussels as the United States con-
sui general, and was there when the
war began and Brussels became
center OF activity. He was enabled
in many ways to better conditions in
Belgium, and his name will rank high
there in historical records In May.
1917, he took charge of the post in
Hamilton, Bermuda, where he proved
himself particularly acceptable to
the British authorities during the
closing days of the war.

Neizhbors and friends of hoard

KEEP INSURANCE

Recommendations have been made
20 Congress by Director Cholmzley-
Jones, OF the War Risk Insurance Bu-
sTeau, to have changes made in the
governments insurance policies
which will make them attractive
enough to be retained by every man
discharged from the service. The
recommendations include giving the
holder Of a policy the privilege o:
making the insurance payable to the
beneficiary either in a lump sum or
IN yearly payments. At present tie
insurance is paid in yearly INSTALL
ments.
Another change recommended en-
larges the Hist Of beneficiaries to in
clude uncles. aunts, nieces and per-
sons who have stood to the insured
as parents. Forfeiture of the insur-
ance would be prohibited in case of
the death of the insured because none

regarding Mr.. HulTs death, Judge S.

for DR.. wilkins during the trial at
Mineola, declared himself much i'm
pressed by the similarity of the
crimes, and declared that DR.. wilkins
friends would spare no effort 10 clear
his name.
This development is most peculiar"
said Judge Whitehouse. 'and is one Of
many things which continue TO con-
vince me that DR.. wilkins story of a
burglars attack was based upon
truth. 1t may take a long time to
clear the name of DR.. wilkins, but
his friends have not lost hope, and
this peculiar aftermath is but a new
factor in their confidence"
Seek Two Young Employees.
Following HulTs death. a general
alarm has been sent out for the arrest
of Edward O'Brien, eighteen years
old. and Edward E. Paige. twenty
years old, both of whom were en-
ployed as delivery boys by the con-
Germ. Neither of the young men has
been seen at their residences or at the
office since the attack upon Mr.. Hull
After questioning Deplsch and
James Stack, shipping clerk, en-
ployed by the stationery firm, the po-
lice began search for the two boys.
Depisch told how he had left the
office in time to catch a train to his
home at Hicksville, l.. l., and how
Hull remained at the office debating
TO Miss Mary Smith, a stenographer.
Stoke had left previously and Miss
Smith, verified by employees of the
building, declared she left Paige and
O'Brien alone with Hull.
The police established the fact that
the crime and the robbery were COM
mitted within ten minutes after Miss
Smith left. At the end of that time
Thomas TimenlO, an aged porter en-
ployed in the building. opened the
door of the offices and found Hull
lying on the floor at the side of his
desk. No one had been seen leaving
the office, and there was no one but
the dying man in the rooms.
Pay Roll Money Taken.
1t was generally known in the Of
fee that Hull drew money for the
pay roll on Friday afternoons, paying
the employees at noon on Saturdays.
The money was kept in a strong box
which was found unlocked and empty.
beside the hammer and lead bar with
which Hull was beaten.
The finding of clearly impressed fin
ger prints upon the hammer used in
the attack proved Of especial interest
to the police. In the description of
the two young men sought it is set
forth that Paige has but three fingers
on his left hand. The young man had
heen found two years ago by Stacke
wandering about in Rutgers paHk
in rags and without funds. He ap-
pealed to Mr.. Stacke for advice and
Stacke induced Hull to make a place
for him in the companys employ.
Aside from the fingerprints upon the
hammer the police found several clear
cut prints on cheques which had been
examined by stained hands in the
brief period during which the crimi-
nal had to work before the porter
entered.
