Held in Death
OF Wife

CAMDEN, N. J. (ANP) Joseph
Hackett, 27-year-old war veteran
is being held as a material wit
ness in the 'hammer-murder'' of
his wife, Mary Hackett, %, who
was found dead in her home.
Haskell maintains that he came
home from a dance about 3 am.
and found his wife, fully clothed,
lying onthe living room floor. Be-
lieving her to be intoxicated,
Hackett said he picked her up and
placed her in bed. Later, at about
1880 am, when she did not move,
he called their family physician,
DR.. J. laurie Vaughn, who pro-
nounced her dead and then called
the police.
A hammer found in the apart
ment by detectives has been sent
to the state police laboratory to
ascertain if stains are human
blood. Captain Thomas Murphy of
the Homicide squad said an auto
psy performed on Mrs. Hackett's
body revealed she died of a frac-
tured skull.

have a good conception of what you
are painting SO that it will look better
when reproduced on paper.
The students were shown a book
containing reproductions of a few of
Mr.. Leigh's paintings and were al
lowed to compare them with the ac-
tual oil paintings and observe the
difference and improvement made
