TO-DAY,
 KILLED HIS WIFE
Dr. Hadley, EX-Army Officer,
 Meets Death Calmly

Richmond, Va., Dec. 9.-Dr. Will mer Amos Hadley, former army sur geon and ranchman, was put to death in the electric chair in the state pen itentiary early today for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Sue Tinsley Hadley, in November, 1919. Prison attend ants declared Hadley went to his death calmly and stoically.
 Dr. Hadley made no statement fur ther than to say he had made his peace with God" and was prepared for the end.
 The execution closed one of the most sensational murder cases in the criminal history of Richmond.
 Mrs. Hadley's body was found in the James river near Richmond on December 30, 1918, by a negro trap per, and was identified by the wom- ans sister several weeks later. A search for Dr. Hadley was begun by local authorities, which carried them through many states and parts of Canada, and he finally was appre- hended on a ranch in New Mexico. At the time of his arrest he was in dis guise and under an assumed name. He was taken to Denver, Colo, where, according to the Henry county au- thorities, he made a written confes- sion that he had killed his wife.
 This confession was used against him in his trial. In the confession he declared he also shot a mysterious 'Dr. Griffin," a fellow surgeon in the army, but an investigation proved this to be unfounded, which Hadley finally admitted.
 From the time of his arrest last August until his death today, Dr. Hadley maintained a taciturn calm ness and indifference.

HARTFORD GETS
 RADIO MESSAGE
Successful Transatlantic Wire
 less Received

Hartford. Dec. 9.-A message sent out at four minutes past two this morning from the great Marconi masts at Carnarvon, Wales, indicat- ed that the attempt to prove the transatlantic value of the newly in vented short wave "regenerators' had been successful. The message read:
 Tt is raining with high winds. At mosphere very strong and conditions bad. Heard s Iaay this morning dur ing the free for all" These instru- ments are as ear trumpets and are designed to greatly magnify the feeble 200 metre wave lengths that are used. Amateurs in this country are limited to using transmitting instruments not exceeding this figure in order to pre- vent them from interfering with the long navy and commercial sets Mes sages have been sent across the con- tinent under favorable conditions with the use of these regenerators. About 10000 stations scattered throughout the United States anXiously listened in' to get the news that would spell success or failure to the effort. Send ing stations in England are prohibit cd altogether. Paul Cooley, the wire less expert and inventor, representing the amateur radio relay league, is situated near Glasgow, Scotland, en- deaVoring to hear our calls. From there he relays the result to the Mar conf station by telegraph. Because of poor telegraphic service between these two points MT. Godley's answer was delayed over A hours. Station call Iaay is somewhere in New Eng land and was at first thought to be in Bridgeport. Investigation showed, however, that this party had moved and the license had been reassigned to some one else.
