Chief of Cermany's
Naval Staff Is Dead
Berlin Announces Passing of
Won Holtzendorff, Noted
U-BOat Strategist

BERLIN, June 9.-The death was an
nounced to-day Of Admiral Won Holt
zendorff, head of the German General
Naval Staff during the greater part of
the war.
Admiral Henning Won Holtzendorf
was born in Berlin in 1853 In 1904
he was made rear admiral, and in
1907 vice-admiral in command of the
German High Seas Fleet.
He played an important part in the
development OF the German navy prior
to the war. He became head of the
naval general staff in 1916 and he
held that position until August 2, 1918.
Prior to his retirement, which was an
nounced as due to bad health, Ad-
miral Won Holtzendorff had said that
U-boats were unable to sink many
United States transports because of
the number of ports of debarkation
available and the strong naval escorts.
In 1915 he told Carl w. Alderman,
I'VE have no desire for break with
the United States. That would be in
sanity" In 1917 the Kaiser con-
ferred upon him the Order Pour la
Merite, in recognition Of the effective
work Of the German submarines.

Policeman Lived
I'm the Underworld
Two Years as Spy
Story Revealed at Hearing
on Charge of Accepting
Bribe, Brought by Man in
Jail Accused of Burglary

How he became the companion of
thieves and for two years lived in the
underworld as police spy was told
yesterday by Valentine O"roole, a po-
liceman, living at 266 Wyckoff Street.
Brooklyn. The story came out as a.
character defence in his police trial on
charges of accepting bribe. By his
work among loft thieves and pick
pockets, he said yesterday, he had
caused 172 arrests.
Acting under orders from Inspector
Cray he said, he disappeared from his
home and friends In 1915 and lived
ate and slept with thieves who were
terrorizing silk merchants and who
have stolen $1o,ooO.oo0 worth Of silk in
the last two years. O'Toole said that
he went into Harlem as George Scott
and faced the task Of delivering or
ganized bands of crooks to the police.
At one time, while with the pack of
burglars, pickpockets and thieves. he
said, they became suspicious that he
was "stool pigeon" and tried to kill
him. While bleeding from seven stab
wounds policeman arrested him at
the point of gun without learning
his identity.
The story was brought out by ques-
tions Of John s. Bennett, the patrol
mans counsel, to sustain his character.
O'Ioole contends that he is the VIC
tim of conspiracy of organized law
breakers who fear him. He is charged
with accepting a bribe of $55 from
Samuel Hirsch, who is awaiting trial
on charge of burglary. According to
Hirsch's testimony, O'Toole demanded
$500 from him and promised in return
to "go easy on him" Hrsch says that
he paid the patrolman the $55 on az
count on April II.
Detectives who watched the at
tempted bribery say Hirsch showed the
money, but did not give it to the
policeman and that O'Toole had no
marked bills on his person when ar
rested. Deputy Commissioner Leach
reserved decision.

| MINEOLA, L. l., June 10.--The trial
of DR.. Walter Keene Wilkins, charged
with wife murder, was halted to-dav
through inability to complete the jury.
A special panel of twenty-five talesmen
was called. Sixteen responded, but each
was excused after brief examination
by Charles Wysong, chief counsel for
the defence, and District ATTORNEY
Charles Il. Weeks. Proceedings were
adjourned before noon, to the obvious
disappointment of the defendant.
A panel Of fifty has been called for

The courtroom was sparsely filed
with middle-aged and old men. There
were only three feminine auditors. and
the proceedings on tho second day of
the trial were colorless. DR.. Wilkins.
charged by the state with killing his
wife at their Long Beach home Feb

made venerable figure as he leaned
back in his chair and twisted his hands
nervously. He displayed little emotion.
but his lower lip dropped and quivered
occasionally as a barb shot home, This
was noticeable when the talesmen were
asked if they thought it probable that
man would kill his wife, or if they
considered it likely that one of DR..
Wilkins's appearance might be ex-
pected to be guilty Of such an act.
Every reference to his wife brought
a quick flicker of the eyelid, a spas
modic movement of the foot, tighten

buoyancy that marked him when he took
his seat gradually disappeared, leaving
depression behind, as he heard one
