WILSON KS SPIRIT
IMPROVED BY
SPEECHES
Orayson Finds Health Of For
mer President Has Suffered
No III Effects.

Woodrow Wilson. after the most
strenuous weekend since his retire-
ment from the White House, re-
turned today to the seclusion Of his
armchair in his quiet street home
more confident than ever that his
ideals for American leadership in
world affairs would be realized.
Despite the ordeal of two speeches
the Armistice Day message over
the radio Saturday night and the
brief address to the thousands in the
Armistice Day pilgrimage to his
house yesterday-Mr. Wilson showed
no i'll effects, and, If anything, was
in happier spirits than in recent
months, according to friends who
saw him this morning.
No III Effects Felt.
"Mr. Wilson was left with no i'll
effects after his activities of the
weekend" Admiral Grayson, hiseper-
sonal physician, told international
News Service. 'sHe is in Just as
good health as before the speeches.
Grayson was ar early caller at
the Wilson home. He found the
former President in such excellent
humor that he left almost immedi-
ately and went to his office in the
Navy Department.
Mr.. Wilson's hopeful confidence Of
the future path Of America in world
affairs was expressed in a short,
significant sentence at the cere-
monies before his home yesterday
After the former President had
spoken briefly his gratitude at the
tribute paid him by thousands of adj
n1rers, he turned slowly to re-entcr
his house. Then suddenly, and with
cut warning to those who were as
sisting him UP the steps, he faced
the crowd again, and said:
THAT we shall prevail is as sure
as that God reigns." i
That was all. But in that brief ex-
preston, a touch Of the fighting
spirit Of his White House days Mr..
Wilson gave proof Of his mistaken
belief that America must. and will,
assume again q virile leadership in
world policies.

SHOCKED
NAN RUNS
A|MUCK
Marlboro Terrorized by crazed
Ex-SoIdier Who Batters
Doors With Ak.

A shell-shocked negro ran amuck
with an AK in Marlboro yesterday
afternoon, throwing the towns
people into an uproar before he
was shot down by posse after
he had smashed his way into a
dozen homes in a search for a
man against whom he harbored a
grievance.
The negro. Marshall Richardson,
twenty-five Is now at the Casualty
Hospital. His condition is not
serious.
Argument Started Trouble.
Richardson started on his ram
page four days ago. He had an
argument with another man and
it is thought that he fretted him.
self into a frenzy over the alterca.
ton. Early yesterday he grabbed
his wife and attempted to beat
her with the ak. She broke away
from him and fled to Marlboro and
spread the alarm.
The negro's home is on the out
skirts of the town and on his way
In he smashed down the doors of a
number Of homes. Occupants of
these homes were terrified at the
sight Of the negro wildly swinging
his ak and hammering at their
doors. AS the mailman swept on
into the town the alarm spread
rapidly. A posse was formed and
was just about to close IN on him
when ohe fled to the st. Mary's
Catholic Church.
One blow with the ak and he eat.
tered down the door of the rectory.
The rector. the Rev. Francis Loeb
rem, and the Rev. Bernard Gerl, of
the Carmelite monastery, a visiting
priest, attempted to placate the
negro.
Attacks Priests.
With demoniacal fury, Richardson
swung his axe at them. Both fled
to save their lives. Richardson
lunged again and again at an inag-
mary enemy in the rectory, smash.
ing furniture to bits. Doors and
windows were demolished. While
Richardson was busily engaged in
wrecking the rectory, the posse
stole upon him. Someone fired one
shot and that one took effect in
Richardson's abdomen.
physicians from the Casualty Hos
pital were forced to tie the negro
in the ambulance when they placed
him in the vehicle. He ragged and
stormed and attempted many times
to hurl himself from the ambulance.
Recovery Hoped For.
Among homes that were attacked
by the mailman were those of Jack
Spriggs, Vincent Richardson and
James Marshall. At the latter
place the family was asleep when
Richardson smashed down their
door.
Richardson's case is unique, ply
sicians attending him say. They be-
lieve that a blow on the head in
the argument several days ago has
tmporarily deranged him. They
think he will eventually recover his
faculties fully.
