STATEPRODUCES “BROKEN CRYSTAL DF WILKS WATCH Detective Plant, Investigator , for Prosecution Says It Was } Found Near Victim. —, (TIMEPIECE IN Second Witness Put on in Ef- fort to Clear Up Story of Blood-Stained Suit. SOPA. | | Ra HE EVENING WORLD, F ‘President Wilson Placing Flowers on Graves Comal Mpeg Sit Qempnten ot MINEOLA, L. L, June 20.—Pieces ‘of @ broken watch crystal, picked up on the walk outside the Wilkins cot- tage at Long Beach after the murder of Mrs. Julia Wilkins gave a new turn to the trial of her elderly hus- band, Dr. Walter K. Wilkins, to-day. | Since the day of her death, Dr. ‘Wilkins insisted that he was wearing ® Waltham watch that day and that the robbers took it away with them. Carman Plant, county detective, iden- tified (he broken erystal, found the day after the murder on the spot where Mrs, Wilkins had been struck down. Then Mr, Weeks produced a Swi open-faced watch, the crystal broken out and marked with bloodstains, which Plant said was found after the murder stuffed into the springs of an ol@ sofa in the Wilkins home. The broken pieces of the crystal | fitted the watch found in the sofa. Plant also identified the gold lovers’ knot scarf pin found June 11, in the inside lining of the pocket of the overcoat Dr. Wilkins wore on the night bis wife was killed. Dr, Wil- kins said such a scarf pin was taken from his tle by the burglars, | Plant was recalled for continued | cross-examination yhen the trial was | resumed to-day. He was excused for a few minutes when District At- torney Weeks introduced Daniel W. Ploger, a detective of the Schindler Agency, employed by President Wil- liam H. Reynolds of the Long Beach Estate, to clear up the murder. Q. I eall your attention to March 4| last. Did you see the defendant A aad day? } TRIES TO CLEAR UP MYSTERY OF SUIT. | A. Yes, I saw him come from his office, carrying a brown leather bag. | He went to Lawyer Friess's office at | No. 1 Liberty Street. Then he went uptown to Jacobson’s tailor shop at Broadway and 66th Street. He took the bag in and came out with a flat package. Then he went to the Penn- sylvania Station and took the 6.10 train for Long Beach. } It was apparently the purpose of Mr. Weeks to correct the testimony of | Jacobson, who testified Wednesday | that {t was March 3, Monday, when Dr. Wilkins brought a bl gray suit, of which trace has been lost by the prosecution, to the shop fer dry cleaning. The funeral of Mrs. Wilkins was held March 3 in the af-| ternoon, and it was called to Mr. Weeks's attention by the insistence with which the defense nailed Ja- | cobson down to the date of March 3, against which day the defense had an impregnable alibi. When Detective Plant took the stand Mr. Weeks availed himself of the permission of the court, asked at the end of Plant's direct examination, to re-open the direct testimoay, Mr. Weeks said Plant's knowledge of the case covered so wide a range of di tails that he was sure he bad over- looked some of them and wished to get them before the jury before Mr. Wysong went on with his cross eyam- ination. Mr. Wysong agreed. Plant straightened out the legal identification of numerous exhibits already introduced for Identification or as exhibits, such as Dr. Wilkins’ nd Mrs, Wilkins* overcoat, collar, hat coat, veil and handkerchief, Mr, Weeks showed Plant a num- ber of balls and small pieces of string found aboyt the upper rooms of the} Wilkins’s house and in the tool box j in the cellar, which were all of the! same size and quality as those found| wrapped about the murder hammer. | He also showed a paint brush with | green paint on it found in the tool | There are green paint stains of wx. the same shade on the handle of the murder hammer. Plant told of tho finding of each one of these. LETS PROSECUTOR HELP MEM- ORY OF WITNESS, Attorney Wysong objected when Mr, Weeks tried to help the witne: remember the dates on which the ex- ts were found, DIPGH.T don't think you ought. to | object to that," said Justice Manning. | “| should be very much afraid of this | witness if he rememibered every item and every date in all the muititude of. things which he carries in his mind in this case, The District At- y is trying to help an over- ened memory and it is all a mat- ter of getting at the whole truth as | the witness knows it” Plant was allowed to fix the dates with aid of Mr. Weeks. @. Did you take possession of any property of Dr. Wilkiz# about which you have not testified here? "A.

The letter addressed to R. C. Howe at General Delivery, Baltimore, was not stamped or postmarked. It read: “Dear Sir: Call at your earliest opportunity; we are nogotiating the property. Will give you the first con- sideration. Yours, “VINCENT A. ARMOUR." ‘The State means to show that this is in the handwriting of Dr. Wilkins and thereby prove that he wrote the letter to himself to support the assumed name under which he ad registered. Plant said he asked Dr. Wilkins March 4 to let him make fingerprints. “I told him I wanted to classify the fingerprints on the lead pipe blud- geon,” said tho detective, “and. he said that I'd surely find his finger- prints on the pipe because he had handled it. I took the prints and brought them to the court house?’ Q. Did you a#k him sbout finger- prints subseqtently? A. Yes, Later 1 went to him and told him the first prints were blurred and THA taf it atet eAothier wet. He got tnaay, ‘ous; Said he didn’t know about that; said he'd been con- sulting his attorney and we had no right to his fingerprints, Q. Did you take them?

Did you see that’ coat and where? ‘ A. You floor. Q. Hadn't you ever seen it before? A. No. Q: Didn't Allen Meyers say belonged to L Wilkins's di A. Yes, he said so, He said he had seen it, I did not say it, Q. There was a quantity of cloth- ing of Leon Krauss around wasn't there? A. There was—all over the plac found it on the second rhis brown coat is the one which the defense relies upon to prove that burglars had been in the house. The defense will try to shqw that the coat had never ‘been seen in the house until Dr. Wilkins picked it up on the first floor, the day after the murder, carried it upstairs and forgot {t until was discovered by Mr, Wysong, April 11, Mr. Wysong renewed his efforts to show that Meyers, the Burng detec- tive, had an opportunity to slip a lovers knot scarf pin into the other coat in evidence—the one Dr. Wilkins wore the night of the murder. He asked Plant where that coat had been all the time since {t was taken from the Wilkins cottage, The lovers’ knot pin in evidence was passed to Dr, Wilkins. He looked at it with a sniff, “Not mine.” He said to Judge Whitehouse of his coun- sel, “not the sume.” Mr. Wysong continued the cross- examination of Plant. Q. Do you remember a man draw- ing pictures of love knot pins in the doctor's presence until one was made that the doctor sald looked like the pin which had been taken from him? A. Yes, Q. Who was that man? A. Allen Meyers. Q! Didn't Detective Bozeman of the same agency make pictures of the pin while the tailors were looking for marks on th edoctor’s trousers? A. I never saw Bozeman do any- thing like that Mr, Wysong was obviously butlding his foundation for further attacks on Burns Agency methods in the case. (catnlit ao a AMMONIA LEAK ROUTS 25.

MAYOR CONFESSES POLIGE FAILURE 10 CHECK GAMBLERS Names Commissioner of Ac- counts as Special Investigator in Three Districts. The failure of the police campaign against gambling, especially White Light district of Inspector Henry, was virtually admitted py Mayor Hylan to-day when he an- nounced that Commissioner of Ac- counts Hirshfield had been requested by him to undertake a special investi- gation of the gambling situation, The Mayor denied that the Hirsh- field activities, which already include the summoning of many witnesses, amounted to “going over the heads of the police.” But he said that the po- lice had encountered such “diffi- culties” that the separate investiga- tion was considered necessary. “The police asked me for help,” said the Mayor in a statement to porters, “and I asked Commissioner Hirshfield to assist them in every way possib! It has been well known in Broad- way for a long time that gambling, while interfered with from time to time, has not been stopped. Men who wish to try their luck at anything from craps to roulette have known more places than one where they could be accommodated, Among the favorite masks for gambling resorts have been so-called supper clubs. The Mayor mentioned such clubs specific- ally in speaking of the difficulties met by the police. “There are certain kinds of clubs,” he said, “about which anonymous let- ters have been received alleging that gambling was going on there. We understand that they move from place to place when they find that the police are on their heels, The police have great difficulty in getting substantial idence against these people, “Commissioner Hirshfield Poenaing persons interested in these So-called clubs in order to find out just what is going on. Any inference that he is doing so over the heads of the police is silly nonsense. He is acting with my hearty approval and by my request. ‘There is perfect harmony between him and the police The scope of Commissioner Hirsh- field's inquiry may be considerably widened, a8 ho himself said to-day, on the strength of results already at- tained. re- is sub- “I have been asked for help," he said, “not only in Inspector Henry's district, but also in Inspector Botan’s old Tenderloin district, and in the Coney Island district ay,” said the Commission- ‘a witifess before me told of what called ‘a small pinochle game’ at a hundred, If you know the e you know that this rate in a four-handed game would make it possible fOr a player to lose $120 on a single hand. {f that is a ‘sma game’ I should like to see a big one “There has been mbling at. a place formerly run by ‘Honest John’ Kelly, The place has been run as a so-called club, but anybody could join in five minutes by merely signing his name and paying the alleged dues.

It is understood that th usual way of “going after” a place is to post process serv: at its doors and issue summonses to the players ‘as they come out. “Iam surprised that the Mayor has made a statement on this matter,” |said the Commissioner, “for I think that we can get better results by working with as little publicity as ! possible.” No statement was obtainable from the Police Department, in the} PALMER DEMANDS WIDEST INQUIRY; ASSL ABUSERS Lewis Tells Senators Alien Custodian- Sold Property Far Below Value. WASHINGTON, June 20.—Attorney General Palmer, appearing to-day be- fore a Genate judiciary sub-commit- tee at open bearings on charges in_ connection with his administration as alien property custodian, declared his, accusers had not protested at the| amounts obtained for the sale of en- emy property but because it had been sold. Demanding a full inquiry, which he asserted would show that the custo- dian ‘had disrupted the enemy's in- dustrial army in New York and New | England, the Attorney General told | the committee that the only record he could find of Harvey T. Andrews, who complained against the sale of | the Bosch Magneto Company of Springfield, Mass., was that he had| claimed to have acted as attorney for | the general manager of the company, a German subject, and that he subse- quently received $500 for his services. The inquiry opened with a clash between Senator Walsh, Democrat, Monta » and former Attorney Gen- eral Merton E, Lewis of New York, regarding statements as to the right of the custodian to sell alien property. Mr. Lewis testifled jast week at an executive session of the committee, which is considering Mr. Palmer's nomination, and Senator Walsh con- tended he had neglected to give the committee a full statement as to the law regarding sale of property. “It was my purpose,” Mr, Lewis said, “to make a statement in correc- tion of my statement of last week and to apologize for the fact that entirely unintentionally I gad left an impression on the committee which at that time was my understanding of the law. Mr, Lewis appeared as counsel for Andrews, He read into the record a number of reports in support of charges that the property was sold at much below its value, Attorney General Palmer inter- rupted Mr, Lewis several times to ask that he put the complete bal- ance sheet of the company into the record and not pick paragraphs at random from the prospectus pre- pared in connection with the sale. Senator Walsh also frequently in- pted to remind Mr. Lewis that in documents he was offering in the record d read an jes as publish: fleld newspaper.

A tunnel to Staten Island is not possible within the next four years unless a miracle occurs.” Comptroller Craig's statement was prompted by a report from the Tranalt Committee of the Hstimate Board rec- ommending that the Finance Committee report on the feasibility of a Staten Island tunnel. Aldermanic President Moran said the tunnel was urgently needed and that the people of Rich- mond, who had contributed their share to the cost of the subways in the other boroughs should now be recognized, “It is financially impossible propriate’ money for a Staten Island subway now," Borough President Dow!- ing said. ae Bare Named for Major General.
