Green's home ‘ts in a beautiful spot In a thickly settled wood. When he Glsappeared after a warrant was sworn out for him he is thought to have gone in hiding at his country home. Pinkerton men came here at that time, but the Captain was informed of thelr movements and escaped to Canada. The Pinkerton men came to Stamford nearly two weeks ago. One of them was disguised as a tramp. Another represented that he was an Italian laborer. Two others were fair- ly well dressed, Went to Woodside Park. A call was made on Chief of Police Brennan and Prosecuting Attorney Carter and the secret of their mission Was made known. The services of spe- olal policemen were offered them, and without delay the Pinkerton men and the special officers went to Woodside Park, On the outskizts of this park is an Abandoned stable. It was this stable the detectives watched every hour out of the twenty-four. When persons ap- broacted and inquired into their move: ments they showed anger and their presence became more and more of a mystery, The shooting of the curlous man_oc- curred on Sunday night. Richard Tur- Tess, John Hari, Cornelius Shea and Gilbert Scofleld Were passing through Woodside Park about midnight, going to the home of Hart, who ilves there, Near the deserted barn Scofield stopped to look at the seven men he saw hiding in, its shadows. “Any trouble?” Scofleld asked. #Halt,” came from the men.

HIS MONEY EXHAUSTED; TOO PROUD TO ASK AID. Resolved to End His Life, He Inhales Gas in His Studio on Fifth Avenue and Is Found! Dead. His ambition crushed, hs pockets! empty, Cline Wilson, 2 member of the famous Kentucky family of that name, @ied by his own act to-day in his stndlo on the top floor of the Knicker- bocker Building, at Fifth avenue and, Fourteenth street, by inhaling gas. He) was only twenty-three years old. Wilson had hoped to become a great artist. Dreams of winning fame with brush and pencil Inred him to New York, as it lures hundreds of others yearly from all over the country. His failure was only one of the many little tragedies with which those who know the inner life of local students .of art, | Nterature and music are painfully fam- iliar, Could Not Bear Fi To Wilson failure was unbearable, A typical, high-spirited Southerner, his ambition was over-keen, and disappoint- ment was more than his sensitive nature could brook. He was too proud to r turn home a failure, too proud to impose on his family, already shattered in for- tune. He was too proud to ask financial aid while he kept up the bitter struggle for recognition, and when starvation stared him In the face he was too proud either to acknowledge nis condition or appeal to family friends who would have been only too glad to assist him. Hungry, despondent, he saw no way out of the dilemma but death. ‘Wilson's family home is at Russell- ville, Ky. His forebears were noted sol- dlers, smen and turfmen of the Blue Grass State. He was an honor Braduate of the State University, and his aptitude for art led his family to encourage his ambition. wi Apt Stadent. ‘The money for his education here was raised among his relatives. He was an apt student, and when he opened his studio in the Knickerbocker Building he had high hopes of repaying the in- ter: of his family and friends. His early disappointments were many, but older artists kept up his spirits with stories of thelr struggles and reverses which finally ended in triumph. Tt was all very well for a while, but when Wilson found his money giving out the situation became serious.
