greater than Shakespeare" but at the
same time pronounced criticism of
the Bard Of Avon, acknowledging while
the courtroom roared that this "def-
cit" was not found in any of his own
sonnets.
Mr. Wherry inquired about a copper
star Mr.. Chaloner had placed on the
floor of his home to mark the spot
where John Guillard was killed. This
star, which is inside circle of silver,
was placed there by the owner of
Merry Mills so he would not be an
noyed by the questions of visitors and
neighbors who called. He explained
that the neighbors came three times
week to bathe in his private swim
ming pool.
II did this all to save myself
trouble" said Mr.. Chaloner. 81 didn t
want to go constantly into details
about the tragedy and I conceived this
idea as medium to explain things"

Erected Monument
Mr. Chaloner said the newspaper ac-
count was not accurate, but it was
good enough to let the people know
about the affair. Then in answer to
questions, Chaloner said he also had
monument erected over the grave of
Guillard and had paid the way of the
wife and children back to Europe
Money for this was handed over to
some women in the neighborhood who
were interested in the Guillards
Turning the examination from the
tragedy Mr.. Wherry started a long in
terrogation concerning the witness in
carceration in Bloomingdale. He
sought to ascertain why the witness
on direct examination the previous day
frequently used the word damn" He
said that he had acquired the habit of
profanity at Bloomingdale and .hus

Mr.. Wherry.

But ycu were never called a re-

"No; my barrier-the word damn

Escaped Slayer of
Two Was WORKING
Here as a Butler
Richard Won Krebs, Missing
Two Years From New
Jersey Asylum, Arrested; (;
Once in German Army

A lunatic who, in 1914, killed Henry
Rhell and his wife at New Brunswick,
N. j., and who escaped from the asylum
IN which he was later confined, was ar
rested last night by detectives at 337
West Forty-third Street, after search
OF nearly two years, during which he
had been employed as a butler in the
homes of many wealthy families of
New York;
The lunatic is Richard Won Krebs.
He was found by Detectives Myers and
Reynolds in front room at the Forty
third Street address. The detectives
learned that he was employed by a
family at Fifty-ffth street and Fifth
avenue, and shadowed him. AS they
entered the rom Krebs rose and in an
outburst of fury shouted:
81 know you! You are detectives.
You can lock me up now, but I am
going to fight this thing through to
the Supreme Court"
Former German Army Officer
Krebs is a former officer of the Ger
man army and crack shot with
revolver. He is also known as a col
lector of art objects. 1t is said that
at one time he was a member of the
Kaiser's household. He also served as
butler for the father of the late
President Roosevelt. He has been at
liberty since February 8, 1917.
At the time of the murder of Mr.
and Mrs. Rheil farmers near New
Brunswick, armed with shotguns, made
long, but vain search for Krebs.
According to Detective Myers, who
took Krebs to Police Headquarters
last night, where he will be detained
pending arrival of extradition papers
from New Jersey, it was Krebs who
threatened the life of President Wilson
when the latter was Governor, of New
Jersey, and other state officials
Waylaid Woodrow Wilson
On the night of October II. 1911,
Won Kreba waylaid Mr.. Wilson as he
was leaving the opera house in New
York. He attacked Circuit Judge
Frank W. Lloyd on October 80 1912.
He was arrested on both occasions, but
managed, through his behaviour, to
create a favorable impression and was
released.
Krebs' mania for threatening promi-
nent persons was said to have been
based upon the delusion that he was
being prosecuted in various court
eases in which he was involved. He
maintained that most of his art col
lections had been destroyed by hidden
enemies and that there have been sew
eral attempts to poison him.
krebs murdered the Rheils while liv-
ing on farm on the Trenton Turn
pike. He was arrested on his own con-
fession, which he maze to John Hess,
about mile away from the scene of
the murder. He rushed into Hesss
home seriously wounded and claimed
that Rheil tried to kill him.
