CRAT VtDUCti.v WiLMSQ. JL Ill jeTXE WS-DEMOCItA RCIl 31, 1010. 4. WOLTERS IS A PITIABLE. SPECTACLE Our Annual Sate of Imported Jap and China attings Steadfastly Refuses to Make a Confession, Though Sobs at Tale of Murder- MURDER OF WHEELER GIRL e-: May Not Have Been the Only One That Young Man Is Guilty of.

It is with pride, this year, we announce our sale of oJr own Importation of Jap and China Matting, for we can safely say that better values and a better selection could not be found any place and we are offering this year matting at less money than the larger cities are getting during special sales. We bought our matting direct from the looms of China and Japan and saved two middlemen's profit. This profit that they would have made is' offered to our trade In a direct saving of 15 to 20 per cent. Below are a few lots containing from 25 to 100 rolls which are on sale either by the roll or by the yard. New York, March 80.

Up to ml night Albert Wolter. who Is in a ell th Tomb charged with the mur der of 15 year old Ruth Wheeler, hid fulled to make the confmston repeatedly promised the detectives on the case. Wolter purchased tone rest by hi reiteration that ha would "toll all Wednesday." but tonlghr when be was (riven several mora degrees in an effort to wring a confession from him, be maintained his stnborn refusal to divulge what he knew of the affair. The police are positive that they can convict Wolter of not. only the fnurdor of Ruth Wheeler, but can Implicate bim In the disappearance of aeveral other young girl who mysteriously dropped out of their accustomed walks in life and of whom no trace ha been found.

Wolter Is thought by some to have implicated In a general white slare traffic, and it la possible that the murder of Ruth Wheeler wa resorted to only when she had possibly threatened to divulge to the police the Information ehe bad probably Fatten in her conversation' with Wolter prior to the murder. Just what connection Kate Muller lias with the case the police do not know, and they are attempting to RUTH WHEELER, THE WIETTY i YEAH OLD STENOGRAPHER OF 15c CHINA MATTING 10c -25 rolls of good China Mat-ting-this is a limited lot that we will close out.
