Ydung Edward .OsBrien Assumes
blame for Second Crime

Freehold, N. J., July 17.-Whiie
/. the grand jury in New York was
indicting Edward O'Brien, 20 years
old, for the murder of Gardiner =

youth boosted yesterday about ms
crime to fellow prisoners IN 'tha

! No tonly did he tell the details Oh
the brutal attack on MIR. Hull ou'
assumed responsibility for the Kill
ing of Mrs. Julia C. wilkins, TOR
whose murder her husband d.
Walter Keene Wilkins, was con-
victed and afterward committed su-
icide in the Jail at Mineola.
The police profess to place lt'Ae
credence in O'Brien's confession Oh
the wilkins murder, however. Iney
declare their belief that he is reVel-
ing in the notoriety ne has gaiheu
and is seeking to make the prison
ers here think he is "bad man.
Although the authorities are
skeptical about O'Brien's protesseo
connection with the murder OF Mrs.
wilkins, they will sift his story
carefully. A strange series of facts
has connected the wilkins case with
the Hull murder. August Depplsch,
former Clergyman and partner OF
Mr.. Hull, was friend of DR.. VAL
kins and called on him in his cell
the afternoon of the day he hanged
himself. Dr.. wilkins and Mr.. Hull
also were acquaintance.
DR.. Wilkins protested>to the last
that he was. innocent of the CRIME
OF which he was convicted and
maintained stoutly that his wife was
slain by two burglars whom they
found ransacking their home at
Long Beach 'lpo~their return from
New York.
Mr.. Hull was killed by hammer
blows upon the head, DR.. Wilkins
asserted the same kind OF weapon
was used in the murder Of his VIE.
A bloodstained hammer was touna
near Mrs. wilkins body.
