WITNESSES CERTAIN
 THEY SAW 1. TWINKLE
Murder Theory in Death Mystery Refuses to
 Be DOWned.

That the death of Louis Wrinkle was a murder and not an accidental fall downstairs seems surer than ever by the failure to shake the state ments made by witnesses who insist they saw Louis Wrinkle in the after nooT of the day he is alleged to have fallen. A Herald representative again interviewed Patrolman Michael Mas sey this morning and the latter still insists that he saw Wrinkle pass his home on Wister street between 1 and o'clock on Friday afternoon, the time, according to kalkowski, he was lying in the saloon cellar. $. Rosen- berg, the East Main street tailor, is emphatic in his statements that he saw Wrinkle in that neighborhood an hour later.
 Rumors are rife that the state po- lice, in case Kalllowski is not held following the hearing Wednesday, will take him on a warrant charging mur- der and lock him5up in Hartford jail pending further investigations.
 A statement is said to have been made by Miss Gladys Andrews, whose name has been connected with that of Jake Wrinkles on numerous occa- sions, that she had nothing to do with his alleged rum running but5i- ness.
 Superintendent Hurley of the state police today stateds that he- has not had any conference l}s.l Miss Gladys Andrews.
 The net, which has been spreading throughout the state, now appears to show signs of being country wide. The information which led 10 the arrest of Richardson, his two sons and Jake Wrinkle, is said to have resulted from a split up in a gang in Pennsylvania, which resulted in jealousy and finally in someone "squealing."

 HERMAN ARRIVES IN NEW YORK, CONFIDENT

New York. July 22.-Pete Herman, former worlds bantamweight boxing champion, who will strive to regain that title from Joe Lynch in Brook Iyn Monday night, arrived today from England on the steamship Orduna.
 The little New Orleans scrapper embarked for home immediately after he knocked out Jim Higgins, the English bantamweight champion, in the eleventh round of a scheduled 20- round bout on July II. He has been training during the voyage, and re- ported himself in good shape. He expressed himself as confident that he would be able to turn the tables on the New Yorw bantam to whom he lost his title last December.
 Friends of the former champion contend that he was off form when he lost to Lynch. and that since that match he has been trained away from the careful. defensive tactics he adopted during his reign as cham pion. He has shown, they say, in all his latest bouts an asgressiveness and punching power that has been lacking since he won the title from Kid" Williams in 1917

I that have no purpose, directly or in- directly. to interfere with the insti- tuition of slavery in the states where it exists. l believe I have no lawful right to do so. and I have no inclina- ton 10 do SO" Later, Mir. Lincoln did what he said he had neither the inclination nor the lawful right to do.
 January 12. 1S4S. MT. Lincoln made speech in Congress in which he said. Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power, have the right to shake off the existing government and form 8 new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable. a sacred right, a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to the whole people of a territory, but q majority of such people may make their own, so much of the territory as they inhabit, putting down mi nority intermingled among them who may oppose this movement.
 If MT Lincoln had been paid attorney pleading the cause Of the south, he could not have presented it more forcibly or concisely, and yet 13 years later, he said the southern CTS were traitors and rebels for at tempting to do what he hoped and believed would eventually liberate the world.
 You also said in your editorial that. The southern people reverence the memory of Abraham Lincoln"
 Do they, and why should they. The southern people are like all others in one particular. They remember those who have injured them, but not with reverence
 MT. Lincoln declared war on the Southern Confederacy, when the con- stituticn says: Congress alone has power to declare war" He permitted his armies to desolate certain sections of the south turning women and children adrift without food and shell ter, when as commander in chief, he could have prevented 1t.
 He issued proclamation declaring the crews of vessels commissioned by the Confederate government, pi- when you blockade an enemies ports you must grant him belligerent rights. He also knew that pirates recognize no flag, no country, but prey indiscriminately on the com merce of the world.
 He permitted drugs and surgical supplies to be made contraband of war, thereby depziving women and children, and his own soldiers con- fined in southern prisons of these very necessary articles. I have seen it stated that this had never been done by civilized government be- fore.
 The war is over and we survived the strife and bitterness of recon struction. and am confident no one questions the patriotism of the south ern people bat when we have occa- sion to speak of the war and the un- happy years or reconstruction, let us erdeavor to be candid and state the facts Neither loyalty to government, or to the memory of the dead demands anything else of anyone. If in doing this we shatter idols, the fault is in the idol and not in the facts.
