Part in 7 Sayings

| BY the Associated Press
BOSTON, Mar. 22-John "iLmey'
Wilson, 20, Boston truck driver
pleaded innocent yesterday to q
charge Of murder in the November
1912, burning Staying of 85-year- old
Mrs. Catherine Mckinley and to be-
ing an accessory after the fact to
the recent blundgeon killing of Mrs
Alice Degnan Sheridan.
wilson's plea was entered a few
hours after he had accompanied
police on a tour which authorities
had expected might result in dis
covery of another body in nearby
Winchester.
The search was prompted by a
statement which Police Capt. Louis
Disessa attributed to Wilson to the
effect that he had attacked a young
woman in that town last week and
had thrown her in gully. The
search was unsuccessful
At the same time police reported
that they had received word that
the woman whom Wilson was sus-
pected of attacking in Winchester
had been seen as recently as Mon
day in Boston Photographic shop
The apparently detected and I'M
kempt prisoner, described by Capt
Disessa as marihuana smoker,
was held without bail in the Nc
Ginley death and in technical
$4,000 in connection with the
Sheridan Shaving.

short time when the cavy has the
impression it is in danger.
AS members of the rodent group
CAVES are famous for the size of
their families. Natural enemies play
an important part in keeping their
number within bounds.
CAVES are timid creatures and flee
rather than attack an enemy. If
fight they must, they show rare
courage and are capable of .inf1icting
severe wounds with their sharp
incisors.
The animals are social and form
colonies. Sometimes the burrows
reach great lengths under the
ground, making the place unsafe
for walking.
Being vegetable eaters the CAVES
find an abundance of food near their
home grounds. Beyond the fact they
serve as food for larger animals
there Is no evidence they have any
economic Importance.
