ALLOWED TO SEE A LAWYER, Nothing Against the “ Bad” Son but His Brother's Accu- sation. WITHSTOOD THE THIRD DEGREE Police New Have the “Good” Sen Under Close Surveil. lance. ‘William Henry, who is suspected of) the murder of his father, Charles W. Henry, was arraigned in the Myrtle Avenue Police Court this morning be- fore Justice Haggerty and remanded to the Raymond Street Jail u next Friday morning. Before he was arraigne: he had « conference with Foster L. Backus, wha| has been retained to defend him. The| conference was held in Justice Hag- gerty’s private office, and the other Persons present were Detective Dela- hanty, 01 the De Kalb avenue station, and @ man named Hoyt, who lives in Flatbush, L. 1. When Henry was arraigned he said nothing, and his lawyer, Mr. Backus, said he appeared Henry's counsel and did not oppose the request of the police that the prisoner be remanded to Jail It wae learned later that Lawyer Back- us had been retained to defend the prisoner by Morrison Hoyt, a director of the fashionable Midwood plot of Flat- bush. Mr. Hoyt is a nephew of Mra. Henry and a cousin of the prisoner. He had a conference with a party of friends last night in relation to the case, and the members of the party finally agreed to contribute to a fund to retain counsel to defend the young man. Up to the time of his appearance in court this morning no lawyer was al lowed to see William nor could a re- porter get within speaking distance. When at noon to-day District-Attor- ney Ridgway was asked if newspaper men would be permitted to visit the prisoner he sald: “Certainly,” and in- sisted that no attempt had ever been made to keep then away. A few minutes later Lawyer Backus went down to the jail to see his client in order to get a full statement from him aa to what he had told the police and what the latter had done with him. Several reporters accompanied the law- yer, but when they got to the Jail they were denied admittance “according to orders." Mr. Backus, with @ stenog- Taher, was allowed inside. His Lawyer Heara His Story, The lawyer war with his client for over an hour and on coming out he ave the reporters a brief ouline of the interview. Mr. Backus began by asking the pris- oner to give in detail the whole story; where he had spent his time during the | Past week; what he had told the police; what, if any, contradictions he had made in his story; if he had contradicted him- self, why ha had done s0, and how far the police had gone towards corroborat- ing or disproving his story. He was particularly anxious to know how and where William had spent Thursday night. The suspected man told in detail the story, substantially as given below in the account of the murder. He sald he had slept in one of the pavilons of Prospect Park until §.30 o'clock Thurs- day night, when he was put out by an officer. Then he slept in a field, and at early morning got up and had a drink in a saloon. Mr. Backus would not give the saloon- keeper's name. Then the prisoner told him how the police had taken him step by step over the ground, made him point out the pavilion in the park where he had slept, and the fleld in which he afterwards lay, even to the exact cpot. 5 ed by the Police. “From that time until to-day,” Will- lawyer, “the police have iB me. They have been at me until my brain has grown weary, ‘They wanted me to confess to a crime which I never committed, “On one occasion, after shown me the hatchet, five detectives started in to question me at once. All spoke on different subjects, and I thought I would go mad “I may have got confused, in fact, 1 know I did, and I may have contra dicted myself, but I told a straightfor- ward story, and they proved that every word I said was true Mr. Backus questioned until he found that the man was actually exhausted and then he stopped. For the fimt time William was informed of what had taken piace ince his arrest, and then the lawyer left the jail, promising to re- turn this afternoon or to-morrow morn- ing in order to get the remainder of the story, Walter hae gone to Ridgewood, N, J., with his wife, who is in delicate heaith. He has an appointment with Ward De- fective Delahanty for this afternoon. They will go to the house of the mur- dered man and search again for the missing will. Police Inspector Mackellar was inter- viewed at length this afternoon. He re- Mterated the statement that William was the murdeter, and that he would be convicted. In other respects he thrashed over the same old straw again. ‘The facts in this peculiar murder mys. tery are set forth in the following story THE CRIME.

First News of the Marder, It was exactly 2 o'clock In the after- noon of Friday that Walter Henry, a fon of the old miser, walked into the De Kalb avenue police station and informed Sergt. Dougherty, who was in charge, that his father was missing. He had been to Police Headquarters shortly be- fore, and was directed to the precinct station. The doors of his father's house, he said, were all locked and barred, and he wanted a policeman to accompany him and force an entrance. The Ser- geant directed Patrolman Walsh to ac- company Walter, and a few minutes later both were standing in front of the father gloomy looking ho Walter, at his own suggestion, climbed window, waiked through the rooms and along the hail to the front door, which he opened for the officer. the way upstairs to the room in which his father slept. ‘The son, with the officer, looked under the bed, overturned the bedclothini but could find nothing. Back of the bed- stead was a closet, but they did not @earch there. Instead, Walter led the way from room to room, and on to the next floor. Several times the officer sug- gested going to the basement, and finally Walter led the way there. At the head of the stairs, however, he paused & moment, then stepping anide, | he ailowed the policeman to lead the way. Just as they reached the bottom step they saw in the dim light the body of the miser 1: was stretched out al- most at full length. There were clots of blood about the head and a few atains on the staircase. “Te that your father?’ asked the po- Uceman. “Tt te, the reply, ‘William's work.” No attempt of any kind was made to move the body, nor did the officer pay any attention to the other's repark. In fact it was not unt! long afterwards that he thought of it. Four hours later the Coroner had ar- rived, and then for the first time it was known that a murder had been com- mitted. The olf man's head had been hacked with a hatchet, Eighteen wounds were discovered, neven of them had fractured the skull, and any one of them would have been suffictent to cause death, “and this is THE MISER’S LIFE. 11. Old man Henry was a miser. He was @eventy-three years old and for the past thirty-five yeare had lived penuri- ously. When he married he was a different kind of man, full of Ilfe, intelligent and of an open, generous disposition. The woman he married was a belle in her day, handsome, vivacious and of good family, But as time ran on Henry changed with it. He became grasping and sordid. He began to save money, at first in a small way. When he got $100 in the bank, he be- came more grasping still, He deprived | himself of the necessaries of life, that he might save even a cent. hundred swelled into a thousand he be- came worse, As time wore on he bought a strong | trunk, which he locked up in the closet | in his bedroom, In this trunk he kept his money and {t im related of him that often when the other Inmates of the house were wrapped in slumber, he would get out of bed and count his money. Every coln he #uved was prac- Meally fresh from the mint, and for years the only usage It got was when | they passed through his fingers at night.

When mother and son had been put out of the house, Will- Jam brought her to his brother's nome in for temporary shelter.

He saw his miser father, but left without coming to any arrangement, as the old man was obstinate. He said he calied again next day— Thursday—and found the house cloned up. He was again at the houre in the afternoon, with Ike result, and then jnext day, Friday, he invited the ald of the police. No Mention of the Marder, He sald that after firding the body he went home, and later Willlam called upon him and had dinner. Although be- Neving his brother a parricide, he never once mentioned his father’s death, even when William asked how the old man wa Neither did he call in an officer to have him arrested. Hack to the station went the police, and the wires to Headquarters were kept busy. A full description of William, the suspected parricide, was sent out, Joy reigned in DeKalb avenue atation next morning, when William entered and surrendered. He told « straightforward story. First he denied having had any hand in the crime, He said he had slept in Prospect Park the night be+ tore untit 10 o'clock, when he was put out by @ policeman, He finished his sleep In @ nearby field. He told where he had been the night before that, what he had drank and a‘l about himself. His pockets were searched and only 19 cents and a bunch of keys, not one of which belonged to the Portland avenue house, were found. But he was the murderer. The police were confident of it. So, after a few more questions he waa put into the p.trol-wagon, and, with Detectives Del- ahanty and Brady on either side, wai taken to the Myrtle Avenue Police Court and arraigned on the charge of mur- der in the first degree. In pleading not guilty he again pro- tested his innocence, Then he was led back to the station-house and almost the entire detective force of Brooklyn was put on the case to secure the nec sary evidence, THE WORLD: TUESDAY up into convenient packages.

The police followed up the story he had at first told as to his whereabouts, and found {t !n the main correct.

When first questioned he anid he got it while cleaning out the furnace in his father's house one week ago. Later he said he got it climbing a fence in Pros- pect Park, That was all they got con- cerning him, ‘Wajter han always been steady in his habits and has worked hard all his life- but he never made friends as fast as his brother.

Thureday morning, however, the shutters of the basement window were not opened nor was the old man seen at ail, THE PRISONER'S ORDEAL. Reyond the fact that Willlam was the wayward son; that he had been driven from the house; that his father had written @ letter coneerning him, and Walter's statement that it was “Will- jam’s work," there was not an atom of oto warrant his arrest. It was after he had been locked up tn a cell that the police began to think, and this led them down to theorles and motives for the erin William Implicnted. Willlam was an outcast. His father hated him and his father necessarily must have made a will disinhertting his ywurd son. Why, the case was as as noondi Wiillam had killed her and then stolen the will, whioh Joubtedly destroyed In the absence of a will he stood In the sume position as the other members of his family and entitled to his share in the miser’s estate. It was the only theory thought of, and the motive to thelr minds was clear. Next thing was to see If the will was missing, and in the search they were aided by the good son Walter. They searched the miger’s bedroom again, and looked In the closet where the old man kept his box of valuables, Then they saw what first escaped their at- tention—the mark of a hatchet in the frame of the door, The hinges of the door looked as if an attempt had been male to force It The found no will, however, but they did find the strong vox, and when it was opened the policemen hell their of semi-starvation until, when the miser was stricken down by some unknown! hand, she had been reduced to less than half her ortginal weight, He drove her) from the house so often that she does! not remember the number of times, Be-| sides refusing to give her proper food j he would not spend a dollar upon her for dress, and his own clothing was of the cheapest kind. | seemed to heighten the latter's regard for him.
