OIL AT GLEN ECHO,
BUT IT BRINGS
NO WEALTH

They struck oil yesterday at Gle
Echo Park. 1t was a high-grade
lubricating oil. but the miniature
"gusher" was promptly capped"
and all the lucky discoverer got
was a call-down.
1t happened this way.
Some months ago Superinten-
dent Finlon. inventor OF various
labor saving devices and desig-
ncr and builder of the "Fireny
Ride" in Hillarity Hall. ran
private pipe line from his storage
room down into the park grounds
to save carrying lubrlcating oil

that demands 1t in such guam

Yesterday workman Alex
Perry. digging a ditch alongside
one of the walks, drove his pick
against something solid. with a
vigorous swing he brought IL
down again and when he pulled
1t out, a stream of oil came spurt-
ing out. Whatever ideas OF sud
den wealth he may have had were
rudely shattered by Mr.. Finlon's
energetic action and more ener-
getic remarks as he cut of the
flow.

WITH RIFLE BULLET
Edward C. WoIentyvirz, War
Veteran, Believed Despondent
Over III Health.

Edward c. Wolentyvirz, a student
at the Georgetwon School OF Foreign
Service, died at the Emergency Hos
pital at 1920 o'clock this morning
from 4 self-inficted gunshot wound
in his left temple. II is believed that

l 900 Rhode Island avenue northwest.
Friends discovered his body in a pool
OF blood at 9:15. He was twenty
three years old and had lived there
since returning to America after
nineteen months service in France.
While with the Twenty-sixth di-
vision, Yankee division, overseas he
was wounded in the leg, and was

self all morning. and was respondent.
On the other hand, yesterday the
youth went to Baltimore to see about
getting transferred to Boston by the
Federal Board for Vocational Train
ing. to which he was subject. Do to
a matter of transportation fee, this
was refused.
Relatives of WolentyvirZ live In

attempted to obtain from the witness
that McHenry was nothing more than
a bad boy. that he had a motive for
the killing OF Mulcare and Detective

the killing OF Mulcare was robbery
and that he shot Armstrong in an ef-
fort to escape arrest. Despite this

DR.. John NJ. Ladd. another alienist
OF the Government Hospital for the
Insane. took the witness stand for
thc NOON.
In taking the witness over his testi-
mony that McHenry had the mind OF
a child ten and a half years old. the
prosecution attempted to show that
McHenry had committed acts which
would have been utterly impossible
for a child of that age. The prosecu-
tion pointed out that when fifteen
years old McHenry worked in q broom
factory turning out daily twenty-four
dozen brooms against the sixteen or
eighteen dozen made by older and
more experienced employees of the fac
tory.
That did not require any great
mental effort-it was entirely physi-
cal action replied the witness.
Letters written by McHenry in re-
cent years were introduced in an ef-
fort to show that their composition
could not have been done by a ten
and half year old child. The wit
ness declared that McHenry was not
developed mentally in proportion to
the progress OF his body.
