Bishop Thurston, spoke from the text

forth the Spirit Of His Son into your

nature" he said, that it was akin to
the gods; and here In the great apostle,
taking hold Of that idea, and developing
il into truth Of .the Christian religion,
first, that We are Sons of God, children Of

journeys IN the South Sea Islands, found
a people go low down in the human scale
That he declared they were beyond the

WILLIAM r. WALKER
Continued from page |


Newspaper men today were refused
permission to either interview or see
Walker. The authorities have also re-
fused to talk and until the arrival of
State Detective Mccoy. Walker. when
arrested, was well dressed. At the time
of his marriage to Dorothy McCabe
he wore three pairs of trousers and two
coats, said to be his wardrobe.
The Mystery Deepens.
Constable George wilmington this
morning had no further suggestions to
make concerning the Smith case. He
is awaiting the arrival of Mrs. George
Rigby of Philadelphia. who, from n
photograph of the dead man. said she
believes he was the same man who
married her several years ago and then
deserted her n short time later In
much the same manner that he mar
ried Mrs. Ellen Mandill of The Cedars,
here under the name of Charles Smith
last April and deserted her in the fol-
lowing July.
When arrested yesterday afternoon
Walker had in his possession certain
papers which apparently were the
property of the man found in Brandy
wine Springs Park. With the arrest
of Walker and the data gather from
Mrs Rigby. the mystery in the park
case may be cleared up.
II is thought that Walker and the
man supposed TO be Smith or Rigby
may have been together and possibly
went TO the park To kill themselves. and
| Walker may have changed his mind.
The finding of Walkers book on tho
road leading to Wilmington, and the
| nature of the contents of the book.
have aroused curiosity.
The possibility of the dead man being
Rigby was also strengthened yesterday
| by Thomas LeeCh Of ElsmorC. who said
he knew Rigby well, and that the lat

erector AT Carney's Point. n. J. lie was

and had q daughter living there. 10
whom he often wrote and spoke Of
Another thing that points 20 the
dead man being Rigby was the fact that
the initials "G r." were found on the
hatband II was the Initials that puz-
zled the police. for they did not COR
respond with the name Charles Smith,
With description OF the man and
with the initials. the account of the sui

man was her husband who had desert
