Reckless Lone Wolf Lands

Into Pretty Girls,

BIZ Times Special
BOSTON, March 27.--After foiling
all attempts either to stop his depre-
datit'ns or learn his IDENTITY for two
months, Boston's bold, bad boudoir
bandit, a reckless lone wolf" who
made a speciality of attacking and
robbing women In the Back Bay
section Of the city, Is cooling off be-
hind the bars.
The lone wolf" as he always de-
scribed himself to his victims be-
fore gagging and binding them, was
arrested by a half-dozen armed Off
GERS Tuesday in his South Boston
home.
Tim the lone wolf he told the
officers, land It's a good thing you
got me today, for tonight I was go
ing to pull off the biggest job I've
ever done"
Admits He's Bad
While he changed his collar, he
voluntarily admitted his identity.
Later lie confessed to four bedroom
escapades and was identified by
three of his women victims.
According to police, he is James
Walters, 20 years old. and native
of Richmond, Va. He came to Bos.
ton last January, and since then has
shamefully defled police with his
boudoir activities.
The "Wolf" was a slow worker,
but always thorough In fact he
made it practice to spend the night
in his victims apartment.
Don't shrek lady" he warned
upon entering. I'm the lone wolf.
Now don't get panicky."
Binds Girl
He then gagged and bound the
girl, made himself comfortable, and
chatted amiably about his previous
escapades.
At daybreak he departed, taking
with him jewelry and clothing, and
always promising to telephone the
janitor. Several times he neglected
to call the janitor, but on these oc-
casions notified newspapers Of his
latest achievement.
During his arraignment late Tues
day he smiled continually and
seemed unconcerned. The interven-
tion of Attorney Peter Bore prob
ably saved him from an immediate
life-term sentence. Borre appeared
as his counsel, told the court
Walters was a. World war shell
shock victim, and secured court
order for mental examination for
the bandit before trial.
The Wolf was held In $4,000
each on two counts Of robbery and
attempted murder and $4,000 each
on two charges Of carrying loaded
revolver.

The first method has the advantage
of settling the cost in advance. 1t Is
advisable that provision be made for
the settling of disputed points by a
third party.
A few of the simpler ways in which
building costs may be reduced are
the following:
l. 1t has been estimated that on a
may be saved by emitting basement
partitions.
2. A porch may be added mt any
time. and by leaving it off $500 to
$500 may be saved at a time when
the initial cost is eating into ready
funds.
3. Stock sizes of doors, holdings,
fittings and such cost less than spe-
cial millwork, and there is less
waste. There are plenty of good
styles in the stock sizes, and the
architectural effect is often better
than when unusual and unique shapes
are used.
4. Wide siding may be more at
tractive than narrow, but the price
at times is about twice as much
5. Planting of the yard may be de-
ferred.
There are many other places where
desirable economies may be prac
ticed, but poor workmanship or the
use of inferior materials should be
avoided. 1t is costly in the long run.

than a service pantry, intervenes be-
tween the kitchen and dining room.
This means unnecessary steps for the
housewife. Each room should have
ample space for the purpose for
which 1t was intended.
Proper kitchen arrangements are
highly important, when 1t is remem-
hered that nine out of ten American
housewives do their own housework.
1t is only recently that this important
workshop has received the attention
it deserves.
In building a house it is necessary
to know the familys requirements,
to have good plans, to have building
operations we'll supervised and to
have explicit contracts, duly signed
and drawn with regard to the lien
laws.
Not infrequently the builder of a
home starts with poor idea OIL
what he wants in a house, or starts
work from a sketch he has made
himself. Experience has shown that
such houses are rarely satisfactory,
and as the house is being built eX-
pensive changes must be made. Every
house plan should be made or check
ed by a competent architect before a
stroke of work toward building is
done. Houses built from amateur
plans are usually hard TO sell.
There are three main types of con-
tracts used in building work:
First. the contractor may be paid
a lump sum for the work he under
takes.
Second, the contractor may be paid
in full for all materials and labor
and receive in addition an agreed
percentage of their cost.
Third, the contractor may be paid

Mr.. Shannon points out that khowl-
edge Of these facts was the cause of
substantial profits to the realty buyer
either for q home site or for specula-
tive purposes. He declares that the
