 Richmond, Va, September H. Once more the old adage-"Murder will out"
 It is long trail from the frozen waters of the historic James river, in the hard winter of 1918, to the sun baked dirt of New Mexico in the summer of 1921, and yet the desert has given up it's strange bearded man to come back to Richmond to explain if he can, the finding of the ice -encrusted body of his wife, a stone about her neck, three weary years ago.
 About the Hadley case is woven a web of mystery which for a time baffled the best criminal minds of the country. The county authorities claim to have a signed confession of a "man in the case" but there is no living witness against him. The only person who could have con nected him directly with a motive for. the crime is woman whose lips have been closed by death. There is but 8 slender chain of circumstantiai evidence against the man, and yet the prosecutor thinks it sufficiently strong to cast the ghastly shadow of the death chair over the dark and dingy cell in the Henrico county jail, where Amos Hadley paces restlessly to and fro, broken man at the age of 39.
 For nearly three years, Dr. Hadley. who served here and at Camp Lee near Petersburg as captain in the medical corps during the war, has lived on a ranch near Pennington, N. M, under the name of Arthur Leonard. He explained his presence in New Mexico as due to fight against tuberculosis and the haunted look forever in his eye, lent it's tell tale corroboration to his story. But it was the furtive look of the fugi- tive from justice, and the strain of an always possible detection took its daily toll of the stamina and vitality of the man until at last the falter, ing figure which returned to Rich mond a few days ago, menacled and thrice guarded, was little more than the wraith of the stalwartl officer that Richmond and Petersburg knew so well in the closing days of the world hostilities.
 Confessed, Police Say
 The police say that Hadley, after his arrest in New Mexico and a quick transfer to a Denver jail, confessed that he poisoned his wife in this city in November. 1918. wrapped the body in a raincoat, weighted it with heavy stone, and threw it into the James river, five miles above the city.
 A farmer on December 25 found the body in the icy waters and the cold had proved sufficient to preserve it to such an extent that tdentifica- tion was ndssihle by the woman with
