 When the trap door was sprung, Wanderers body dropped through with a jerk, bounding back two feet. A jailer grabbed the twisting form. Eight minutes later he was pro- nounced dead and the murder of the Poor Boob' was vindicated.
 On his last night, Wanderer sang one song after another. He prayed frequently with the prison. priest. His, songs ranged from Rock of Ages and Nearer My God to Thee" to his favorite, "Old Pal. Old Gal" and other, popular airs
 Seven years ago, a woman awoke just before dawn screaming at an apparition of a dream[h1led mind. She saw her son dangling from the CTS mother.
 My son Carl, :hey are hanging him. she shrieked-
 He is hanging. My God! I'll kill myself before l live to see them hang my Carl.''
 She shot herself to death that day, crazed by the apparition of her dream Fate ruled that her vision of seven years ago should come true today
 Wanderer died on the fifth black Friday of his life.
 He plotted his wife's death on the first black Friday, hiring the Ragged Stranger in Chicago's Loop Dis District to stage fake -hold-up that lie might be a 'thero" in his wife's eyes On the next night. in June, 1920, the Poor Boob" followed Wan theater.

LAMENTS ALCOHOL AS GIFT OF GOD TO
 KILL "ROTTERS''
Physician Asserts Volstead Act Hampers Doctors in -Alleviating $ uf f CT ng, Prolonging Life.

Atlantic City, Sept. -"Alcohol in this country before the Nolstead act seemed Nike a gift of God to drive 'rotters' and all worthless human beings to an early grave through excessive drinking" declared Dr. Hobart A. Hare of the Jefferson Medical college. Philadelphia, in an address to the Kiwanis club here today.
 He said alcohol is produced in the human body and absorbed by the in testines every dav despite MT. Vol stead and the host of enforcement agents. Its habitual use for cen turies by billions of human beings means like every other human habit, that it is of some benefit to life.
 Prohibition. he said, has h1ndered the medical profession and foolish regulations have driven the pre- scrfbing physicians to drug store whiskey, (which is the worst whis- key in existence"
 Emphasizing that he was not ad- vocating a return of conditions where excessive drinking would be en- couraged, Prof. Hare referred to alcohol as foodstuf as we'll as a drug and paid high tribute to its value as an energy giver, an aid to digestion, a repair kit for shattered nefves when used in moderation, and a factor in reducing suffering and per haps prolonging life in diabetes and other cases.
 He stigmatized the "one-ha of 1 per cent" rule as absurd and cited a test he had made by having man drink a dozen bottles of 2.75 beer. A blood test afterwards showed no quantity of alcohol sufficient for in- tOxiCation

Head of New Britain Detective Bureau Is
 Behind Prison Bars
oConttnued from Page one.)

When arrested, Detective Richard son was in charge of the New Britain police investigation of the mysterious death of Louis Wrinkle, who was found dead of a fractured skull in a lot in the rear of the saloon of K1en- ems Ka1kowski, on the morning of Sept. IT. KaIkowski, his bartender, Big Frank Fetznnan, and Mike Mich, a carpenter, faced the New Britain police court today, charged with mansiaughter, a result of Kalkowskfs alleged confession, that Wrinkle fell down stains in his saloon on the day prior to his death and that he carried the body to the cellar with the help of Mich and later into the yard, where it was found.
 The state pokce are working on the theory that KaIkowski has not told all he knows about the death of Wrinkle and that the murder is but one end of the rum-running consuir- acy which has left a trail of murder, stolen automobiles and other crimes in it's wake.
 The death of Wrinkle and eubse- quent developments has revived the investigation of the death of Enio Rinaldiro, a New Britain member of a rum-running gang, found dead at the wheel of his automobile in Far mington just over the New Britain line, Oct. 25, 1920. Rina1dino's death was called a suicide after an investi- gallon of Detective Sergeant Richard son, of New Britain, but the state po@- lice and relatives have never given up their belief that Rina1dino was murd cred.
