QUINCY, Mass, Sept. II
(LN.S. ).-Charles f. Dubois,
who shot himself to death four
hours before the body of his
slain wife was found in con-
crete vault under his summer
home at Plymouth, left behind
letter to his lawyer and
will.
Attorney jeremiah ]. McAnar-
ney said today that perhaps 1t
would not be ethical to reveal the
contents of the letter.
Mother to Attend Funeral
The will, it was understood,
left all Dubois property to his
aged mother IN New York city.
She will attend the double burial
of Dubois and his wife Monday.
Dubois last letter of about 800
words was found by the lawyer
in a table drawer in his private
office.
Miss Grace Atwood, with whom
Dubois was in love, was not men
toned in the will, the entire prop
erty being left to the mother,
Mrs. Cecilie Dubois.
Confession Denied
McAnarney said the letter was
an ending of the case, but denied
that it contained confession Of
guilt of murder. He said he would
not know until Monday, after
the funeral, whether he had o
legal right to make the contents
public.
The note, it was understood,
was written yesterday morning,
several hours before Dubois took
his life in a local rooming house.

Second Man Held, Posses
Hunt Third in Staying

MANASSAS, Va, Sept. 1.-THE
search of the countryside here for
a colored man, believed to be the
slayer of Pvt. Bril- Woosley, 90, was
retarded late today following the
statement of Ellis Crouch, a
farmer, that he had driven the
man from the vicinity of the crime
after it was committed to rail
road crossing in this city. WooS-
ley was shot Thursday night on a
farm near Lake Jackson.
While detachment of soldiers
from Fort Humphreys and a
sheriff's posse continued to search
the woods for William Watson, 33,
George Washington Bradfield, 25-
year-old farmer. was charged with
being an accessory to the crime
and Crouch, another farmer, was
charged with maintaining and
harboring the Colored man.
Held for Grand Jury
Bradfield, who surrendered last
night in a wooded section near
his home, is being held in the
Jail here until he posts bond. He
was held for action of the Grand
Jury at a preliminary hearing
this morning.
A warrant was sworn out for
Crouch after he is said to have
admitted driving watson to the
railroad crossing, where it is
believed the colored man hoped
a freight out of the city.
Woosley and Private Emanuel
T. Reppert, of Company D.,
Thirteenth Engineers, went to the
Bradfield fran where they joined
several other soldiers and pur-
chased some cider. They later

began to sing and started wrestl-
ing about.
Bradfield, son of the owner of
the farm, and Watson tried to
stop their antics and drive them
off. Watson then is alleged to
have run to the house and re-
turned with a shotgun.
When about IS PAGES from the
soldiers he is said to have opened
fire, the charge striking Woosley
in the stomach.
Two Men Fled
Bradfield and Watson then fled
and the soldiers dragged the
wounded man about Is yards
down the road. Propping him
against a fence, they went to the
camp and gave the alarm.
WooSley was later removed to
Manassas and was pronounced
dead by Dr.. Stewart Mcbride. His
body was sent to his home in
Philadelphia last night.
The searching soldiers have
been stationed at Lake Jackson,
about three miles from here, for
