Mitchell Palmer in Washington. ‘A general description of the man thas been worked out, as well as his clothing, identity of the sandals he wore and other detatls. After the identification is made positive, and Chief Flynn is almost ready to an- nounce this fa the Government will then be able to connect him with one of the groups of anarchists. So far Chief Flynn has not an- nounced the nationality of the man killed at Washington, nor the group he terroists with whom he worked. The authorities believe, however, that he was one of the “inner circle” of terrorists, who roam from city to city throwing bombs and setting mysterious fires. Federal Secret Service men and the police of big cities are seaching for Jean Crones, it was said to-day, in connection with the bomb explo- sions in eight cities last week. Crones as the waiter who put poison in the soup at a Chicago dinner a few years ego with the intent to kill Archbishop Mundelein, The arsenic he used made a hun- red ests ill, A search of his rooms | after his escape revealed four cans of guncotton, a number of bombs al- ready made up, dozens of L W. W. dooks aud some of Emma Goldman's writings. Crones, who was assistant chef in the University Club of Chi- cago, has since eluded the police, but has been heard of from time to time fm various places, The investigators have also located the mill which manufactured the cloth from which the bomber's suit, black with green stripos, was made, and have learned the sult would re- tail for about $45, The cloth was practically new On information furnished by the} Cobbler the detectives are scouring a) @ection of the city in which it is be- lieved the bomber was visiting fellow Anarchists.

The dealer who sold the tie was Yound through fragments of the label bearing part of his name. When the tie was shown to him he said he re- membered selling it, because it was the only one of its kind left in the store, and he was somowhat surprised that a man of such shabby appear- ance should choose one so expensive, The man is bi @ considerable time in this city, part- ly from the fact that, when ho first called at the snoe repair shop, he calling for them| wo later, as would be done by a resident of the vicinity, left the sandal again a day or POET BOS'N OF THE NC-3 PIPES OF GREAT SEA FLIGHT The Evening Sun to-day pub- Mshes an interview with Boat- @wain Lloyd R.

Y., June 12.—The trial of Dr. Walter K. Wilkins, accused of the murder of his wife, at Long Beach on Feb. 27, will not proceed to-day. At 1145 o'clock the last of the talesmen calied to appear to-day had been examined or excused by consent and not an additional juror had been picked. Justice Manning ordered that a panel of fifty men be drawn for to-morrow to make it certain that the case will go to’trial then. If the selection of the jury is completed by to-morrow witnesses will be called at once. Court attendants point out that to- morrow is Friday, the 13th, and that the day is bound to be unlucky for some one. One hundred and eleven talesmen have been examined 90 far, 21 of them to-day. So far only ten men have been chosen. It became apparent that a general prejudice exists in Nassau County against capital punishment and cir- cumstantial evidence. Talesmen af- ter talesmen said he could not sit in a murder case and do justice for this reason, The patience of Justice Manning was almost exhausted over this state of affairs and he asked talesmen sharply: “How long have you felt this way? For the last half hour? Since last night?” New witnesses who were not taken before the Grand Jury were brought to Mineola to-day—two women and a man. It was known that District Attorney Weeks ‘had thom before him in March, while Dr. Wilkins was in Baltimore. They will be produced to contradict the story of Dr. Wil- kins about conditions at his home nm the night of the murder when Dr. Wilkins says, burglars attacked him and Mrs, Wilkins, The first witnesses in the trial had been expected to be called to-day, and it was said that at least one would present evidence hitherto un- published. ‘This evidence is said to be of cer- jtain stains found in the house where jthe woman was ‘killed. Dr. Otto Schulz, medical expert of the New | York District Attorney's office, who | has been lent to the Nassau County prosecutor, is expected to give testi- |mony concerning these stains, Dis- | trict Attorney Weeks, conducting the prosecution, has prepared an elabor- Jute opening address to the jury and, [it is said, will give the defense some | surprises, ‘A pretty, well gowned, tall woman, every one in the court room. The woman is Miss Mary Murphy, twen- ty-six, who was subpoenaed by the | prosecution, It was reported that |she had a quarrel with Mra, Wilkins |when she occupied an apartment in the Wilkins home at No, 164 West 65th Street, Manhattan, “I never had a quarrel with Mrs, Wilkins,” Miss Murphy said to-day. “I lived at No, 164 West 65th Street for four months, and I left the place on Feb, 14. I am here, but I believe I have nothing to say that will help either side in this case, When I left the house Mrs. Wilkins shook hands with me and was very friendly, At the oponing of court to-day only two jurors remained to be chosen, As the rest being fifty or over, Both sides were content with the jurors, Engineers and photographers were to be the first witnesses called, and tablish a picture of the Wilkins home, where the murder was committed. It was said that the next witnesses | whens Dr, Wilkins first told his dis- been done by robbers, Louis G. Friess, associate counsel for the defendant, said Dr. Wilkins had “talked enough,” and that there would be no more statements from him until the end of the trial, an instant that we would make tho transatlantic flight, I would have staked my life on it,” said | Boatswain Lioyd R.

SENDS WORD HE FLED TO MENCD Escaped Bellevue Prisoner Would Have All Believe He Crossed Border. Capt. Fritz Duquesne, who escaped from the prison ward of Bellevue Hospital a few weeks ago while un- der arrest pending the determination of Great Britain's attempt to extra- dite him for alleged acts of violence against British shipping, wants every- body to delieve he is in Mexico. Duquesne gave out to-day, through Manley M. Gillam, an advertising man, a statement of his arrival on Mexican soil in a Renault aeroplane, accompanied by his ‘brother and a cousin, The statement was written newspaper-fashion, and included in- terviews with the brother and cousin breathing defiance for Great Britain and all pro-British Americans, BROUGHT BY BOY, NOT AERO. Mr. Gillam, who has known Du- quesne intimately for ‘several yoars, says that last Friday or Saturday, while he was at home in Flushing a boy called at the offices of the Gillam Service, No. 110 West 34th Street, and left a big envelope for him, There was no stamp on tho envelope. Within, Mr, Gillam found this note:— “Dear M. N,:—Will you please type this and get it or something like it published. I think that will fill the bill, I am sending it North to you by a friend to a friend to hand to you. Please operate as soon as possible, “Gratetully, “FRITZ, “Nota bene:—As many papers as possible.

Captain Fritz Duquesne and his cousin Major Count Duquesne Rancon crossed the border and arrived on Mexican territory some miles south of this city to-day They intend to continue their journey to Mexico City, The Count, when asked if he had aided the famous interna tional prisoner to escape from the Bellevue ward a week ago, re- fused to reply to that question, He said, however: “I fought in the war and when I heard that Captain 2 was @ prisoner and that the United States was going to hand him over to Great Britain for sink- ing British ships in the South Atlantic I, with his brother Cap- tain Garnet Duquesne, who was in Paris, decided that it would not Ibe and it shall not be. “I am here, his brother is here, and either Amreicans or Britishfi if’ they want him, are welcome to try to take him. We are ady to lay down our lives for him in New York.” Capt. Garnet Duquesne, a young giant who was one of Gen ritzs Lieutenants in th revolt and who has fought a the British in East Africa, said “Yes, they can come, and we welcome all the official’ \hugs in New York, They have just as much right to arrest me as my brother.

Duquesne has been offered the position of technical adviser to the Mexican Government, but on account of his health cannot accept.

Bondfield, ,dtlegate from |the British Trades Union Congress, “British labor,” said Miss Bondfield, | “has been through four terrible years of war and now feels that the threshold of a new day has been reached. It feels, too, that upon its | attitude and activities depends | whether the new world is going to be | better than the old one. There is growing up among us ever increasing hatred of war and we hope, partially, through co-operation with American |1abor, to be able to create a condition which will make war both ¢unneces- |yary and impossible. We have heard | that Lloyd George or this person or that won the war. We are not in- terested in that, We are interested in the winning of a permanent peace.” Miss Bondfield said that organized British labor had forced British em- ployers to pay women wages equal to those of men.
