Knight Is Found Guilty of
Murder.
VERDICT IN is MINUTES.
Mrs. Wilson Killed March u,
Negro Arrested Next Day,
Sentenced II Days Later.

Quick justice was demonstrated to-
day when it took a jury in New
Brunswick just fifteen minutes to
find George Washington knight, a
negro, guilty of the brutal murder
March II of Mrs. Edith Wilson, Perth
Amboy church organist.
Knight was Immediately sentenced
by Supreme Court Justice James ].
Bergen to die in the electric chair in
the week of May .. ..-.
Word OF the conviction of George
Washington Knight was flashed to
Perth Amboy and caused an inn
promptu demonstration Automo-
bilists drove about the streets sound
ing their horns and crowds who saw
the news bulletins broke into cheers,
Knight was arrested March 10 and
confessed. His case was rushed to
the Grand Jury and his trial began
yesterday at New Brunswick, the
county seat of Middlesex, N. ]. 1t
took four hours and a quarter to get
Jury. The evidence was all pre-
sented yesterday and this morning
Justice Bergen charged the jury,
which retired at 1904 and returned
with a verdict at 1918.
Mrs. Wilson's body was found in a
vacant lot in Perth Amboy near her
home on the night OF the crime, Is

opened over the body.
After knights arrest and confession
his attorney, l. b. Glueckheld, who was
assigned by the court. declared the

pleaded he committed the crime while
full of bad gin. At the trial Knight
took the stand and said he remembered
grabbing some one Oh the street. but
did not know whether it was a man,
woman or child. He forgot all about
It until next morning, he said, when
he found a woman's wrist watch and
two rings in his pocket.
DR.. Charles A. Rosewater. specialist
on nervous diseases. testified Knight
was an imbecile. but admitted he could
distinguish between right and wrong.
He described knight as or a type which
alcohol renders "maniacany intoxi-
Gated" and irresponsible. Justice Ber-
gen said the taking OF jewelry from the
victim indicated Knight had not lost
mental control.
In his charge Justice Bergen said he
did not see how any other verdict than
murder in the first degree would be
possible. This was predicated on the
accusation Knight intended to attack
his victim, although premeditSted
murder was not alleged.

GERMANY WARNED
FIVE BILLION MUST
Be PAID BY MAY |
Allies Announce Additional
Penalties Unless Payment
Is Made.

PARIS, March "A ASSOCIATED Press).
The German Government was noti-
fled by the Allied Reparations Com
mission to-day that the total amount
os 10000, 600, 900 gold marks (about
s., 200, ,OO0,OO0) due under Article 235 Of
the Peace Treaty must be paid by
May ! or additional penalties Will be
inflicted upon Germany.
The commission in its note says
there is nothing In the Treaty OF YER
sailes which obliges it to hear the
German Government upon the condi-
tons under which the deliveries to
make up the twenty billion mark pay
ment to the Allies (Which Article 235
Of the peace treaty stipulated should
be paid by Germany by May - should
be made or appraised.
The Germans in their note deliv-
cred Wednesday asked that a joint
commission of experts fix the value
OF the German deliveries on repara-
ton account, which, they claimed,
already more than equalled the 20,-
OOO, ,OO0 900 mark total, while the
Reparations Commissions figures
showed a balance of 1900, 900, 900
marks due. 1t was pointed out in
Allied quarters, however, that the
German experts already had been
heard by the commission before 1t
I fixed the valuation of the German
deliveries credited as payments
against the 100000 100000 marks.
The Allied note adds that the
commission waited as long as pos
sible before demanding payment by
Germany, thinking the German Gov
ernment would take the necessary
measures faithfully to fulfil its OBJ
| legations under Article 225, The
commission is now persuaded, how
ever, it says, that such is not the
case
The commission states that it de-
manded the payment by March 23 of
900, 100000 marks in gold to apply
on the reparations account because
Of a certainty that Germany pos
sessed suficient funds to make i'm
mediate payment.
The note concludes by saying that
in any event the total amount of the
20, 900, 10000 gold mark payment must
be handed over between now and
May l, and that non-payment of the
amount will entail penalties, The
German Government is considered as
defauhing in fulhllment OF its under
taltings, the communication declares
and, therefore, the Commission has
decided Immediately to call the at
tention to such failure Of all the in

the Consul to the order which he said
had been issued upon Instructions
from the United States Ambassador
at Rio.

prisoners were charged with and he
told me of n mutiny aboard the
steamship City Of Alton, which they
were supposed to have led, but they
were really wanted in connection
with the Wall street explosion, which
occurred just a short time before the
men shipped out Of New York.
He said II was unusual for an
American Ambassador to interes
himself in a simple case Of mutiny.
