MURDERER SMILES AS
CHILD TELLS OF CRIME
Little Girl Tells Coroner How Her
Father Was
Slain.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 2.-While
witnesses were relating the details of the
killing of George +. Mott to Coroner
Phelan Yesterday. Elwood b. Wade, con-
fessed SLAYER of the gambler, maintained
an attitude of jocularity.
As he listened to the story of the muir
der, as tod by Ruth Mott, twelve-year-
old daughter of the victim, Wade smiled
TO those present at the inquest.
According TO the girls testimony
Mott met his death after a desperate
fight with Wade Following the muir
der, she was told by Wade TO operate the
player piano to avert suspicion.
Wade insists that Mrs Mott shot her
husband. He also says IL was she who
gave him knife. with the remark. This
will quiet him lie declares Mrs. Mott
helped him carry the body from the first
floor of the Mott house to an upstairs
room. where il was iammed into the small
trunk in which IL was found IN swamp
by the police.
Notwithstanding the confession made
by Wade and the statements of Mrs.
Mott and John L. johnson, Wade COM
panion and helper, the police believe that
the real story of the murder Is yet untold.
Wade now tells a story of fight with Mott,
with Mott as the aggressor. The accused
man says that he used a knife and a
piece OF lead pipe 10 defend himself.
Against this testimony are the state
ments by Johnson in which he says Wade
cerpt to the little attic where Mott lay
alseep, hit him on the head with the lead
pipe and shot and knitted him. Johnson
swears the first blow delivered by Wade
did not stun Mott He asserts Mott jumped
jumped from his bed and fought Wade for
several minutes. They fought down two
flights of stairs. Mott was known here as a
pugllist. 1t was at the landing on the first
floor that Mott was killed.
Wade told newspaper men yesterday
Of his long friendship with the murdered
mans wife. They were introdu ed by his
own wife. he said. Knowing that Mott was
watching their movements, they met
outside the Mott home for some time.
Then Wade became bolder in his atten-
tions and began TO visit at the house.
Mott, he SAYS, warned him twice that
he would kill him.
When Medical Examiner Farlick de
scribed the mutilated condition Of the
body, Wade seemed amused.
Ruth Mott declared she saw Wade in
the kitchen of the house Sunday morning
Mother and papa quarreled," the
child told the coroner. ''ln short
time, i heard shooting Then the man
johnson. who was with Wade, ran down
stairs and out OF the house. Then father
came down stairs. He was covered with
blood. He looked at mama and said,
Brownie, YOU didn do this. Then father
fell on the front porch, and Wade said: i
am going TO kill him. Mamma told
Wade not to hurt father again. Then
i saw Wade hit father again. Then
Wade told me TO go upstairs and play the
pianola. Father said: j wao going to get
him, but he got me-

JERSEY OPEN FIGHT
ON THE GYPSY MOTH.
State Officials Take Up Work of
Combating the Destruc-
tive Pest.

Somerville, y. j., Sept Sealing the
loftiest spruces, pines and poplars with
ease, detachment of the most expert
tree-climbers in the country yesterday
began the Federal battle on the gypsy
moth, colonies of which recently were dis
covered in this section. While the insect,
most dangerous of all imported tree pests,
slipped by the guard in Now England
where the Federal government and States
are compelled to spend 81 900, 900 year
on control work, ard has invaded New
Jersey, New York and some sections of
Pennsylvania, directors of the Federal
control work have jumped into the battle
with the moth here, determined to hold
in check until plans can be made TO
wipe it out in New Jersey before II reaches
proportions that would render extermi-
nation impossible.
Bare branches of evergreens and de-
ciduous trees, some of them already dcad
from repeated defoliating by the moth
larvP mark the spots where the "gyp"
has gained it's strongest foothold in this
section. 1t is in the centre of these moth
colonies that the battle will wage for the
next few weeks. The moth is now de-
posting its egg masses from which, next
year, myriads Of worms will hatch. Every
nest, plastered by the moth on the side
of a tree or other substance, contains
several hundred eggs. A daub of creosotc
over the nest destroys the eggs, and it is
in this work that Uncle Sans expert
climbers are now engaged.
An inspection of the New Jersey
situation to determine the exact extent
of the infestation is being made by A. +.
Burgess, Federal director of the gypsy
moth campaign in New England, and
DIR. T. J. Headley New Jersey State
Entomologist. They are already con-
vinced that the infestation existed here
for three or four years in the dense forest
growth before il was discovered.
Public park commissioners in this sec
tion of the State, State forestry officials
and fruit growers of South Jersey. know
ing the destructive record of the moth in
New England, are demanding immediate
