GHOST SHIP

ANNAPOLIS. June 10.--A lot Of
Annopolitans today were excited
about phantom ship. a side
wheeler with her three decks ablaze
with lights against which the
figures of seemingly real people
were silhouetted.
This eerie craft came into the
harbor last night and the natives
Immediately thought it was an ax.
cursion boat in distress.
Just as they were realizing that
the bay was calm and there was
nothing for even a canoe to get in
distress about, the phantom ship
left the wharf where II had paused
for a minute and headed out again.
When the crowd got there they
found no Waterman, no ghostly
footprints. nothing.
People started calling the police
station to know what this ship was
doing sneaking in like that. The
police didn't know and neither DID
anybody else.
Just as the retired captains were
recalling that they remembered this,
that and the other similar incidents
OF spirit ships, the Cfaiborne-Annapo-
lis Ferry Company confessed that the
ship was the Emerson G Harring-
ton, which was run on q special
trip because the Albert c. Richie
had been too crowded to take ali
the customers.
The Harrington in the daytime IL
AZ familiar to Annapolitans as the
dome of the State House. but they
didn't know it when it was dis
guised by being out at night.

MARRIAGE B A R
BLAMED FOR
Staying

MooREsTowN, N. ", June 10
U.Sl.--Frankly discussing the case
for the first time. the family of
Ruth Wilson declared they will
offer at the inquest today or to.
morrow evidence in corrobora.
ton of theory that Horace Rob-
erts, jr., with grim romanticisnn.
welded his college sweetheart in
death when he could not do so in
life.
Arthur j. Collins. jr., husband of
the dead girls sister, Helen. de-
rlared they will seek to prove that
young Roberts, few months ago,
told a Moorestown youtht
"If can't have her tmeaning
Ruth, no one else will"
Death Threats Told
evidence of a college classmate chum
of Miss Wilson at Wilson College,
ChambersbuFg, Pa, to whom Il 10
said by Mr.. Collins, the Moorestown
girl wrote several months ago Of
Roberts threats to kill her. The
same letter also divulged the girls
determination to abandon romance
forever.
Against this evidence that the boy
killed Miss Wilson and then himself
will be aligned the conviction of
Prosecutor Hillman that the three
bullet wounds in young Roberts
head, two of them fired, apparently.
from the rear. could not have been
self-inflicted. County Detective Ellis
Parker intimated the bodies Of the
two may be exhumed.
Victim Left.Handed
Further to initiate against &C.
ceptance of theory of suicide on
the part OF the youth. his family
is expected to introduce evidence
that he was left handed. The pts.
toll with which. theorists say. he
shot himself after having killed
the girl, was found in his right
hand.
Although the county physician
said he believed the three bullet
wounds were self.inflicted. other
pc biologists believe that any one
Of the wounds would have 50
stunned the youth as to make II
impossible for him to have fired
more shots.
