Del., had that question propounded to him time after time by detectives of the Brooklyn homicide squad In the Lath Beach station. “1 told you I don’t know why.” the prisoner invariably replied. “1 just put the gun to the back of his head, and pulled the trigger.” “You mean to say you killed your buddy, and don't know why you did It?” Acting Lieutenant (’onan asked. “That’s it exactly,” answered Gal ▼ano. “1 blew his brains out, and to save my life I don't know why I did It.” During the long interrogartion the young soldier was calm and matter- of-fact. When the detectives paused, he read the sports page of a newspa per. smoked, innumerable ciga rettes with the air of a person per fectly at ease and at pence with the world. No Motive Founck— —- Finally the detectives had to be sat isfied with Galvano’s description of how he committed a murder without learning of any motive. He was held without hail as fugitive from Justice. The fugitive charges were made pending the arrival of a formal mur der complaint from the police of Wil mington, Del., where the crime was committed. Galvano is accused in Wilmington of 'killing Arthur Cline, twenty-one. a private in Company K. First Kngineers, at Fort Du Pont. The two were known os inseparable friends. Cline’s body, in civilian clothes, hut stripped of all valuables and marks of idriitiflcntion. was found Christ mas morning by a hunter In a marsh about three miles north r.f Wilming ton. Two bullet wounds were In fhe back of the head. Wilmington (sillce found flint Cal- ▼onn, Cline and a third private of Company B. Alonzo Finery, had left the fort Christmas eve In an automo bile owned by Finery. Cline, they were told, was going to Amsterdam. N. Y., to spend a short holiday fur lough. Other Soldier Seized.

Denver, Colo.—Twenty years ago a bearded and rugged Westerner took a stub pencil from his pocket, leaned over the counter of a frontier saloon, and reproduced from memory a scene he had witnessed years before in a theater in Cincinnati. It was Michael Edward O’Brien, standing alone inspired by his first creative mood, while laughter and the fumes of wltisky filled the room. In a little while the sketch was fin ished-even to the bridge across the Thames. His comrades crowded around, praising his work, though they didn’t understand. Encouraged by Wife. Today, “Viewing the Oaks,” painted by O’Brien, hangs in the Denver Art museum among an exiiibit of the work of native Colorado artists. ,lt was the first picture of the exhibit to be sold. Behind that picture lies the story of an ordinary hod carrier with a fam ily to support, who never shirked his ^responsibility and qever became dis cou raged. Those few w’ords of approbation which Ids comrades had spoken to him of his drawing on the bar spurred him on. His wife encouraged him. al though she was busy with the house hold. At nights the hod carrier, noted for feats of strength when lie was a young man, would go to Ids home in Denver’s most unpretentious residen tial district and for hours then his work-worn hands would yield to the Imaginative power of ids inner self. Paints From Memory. Because he was forced to work at night many of the tints were not what they should he, and daylight found his work done in vain. He worked on them, however, until they were perfected. O’Brien never had an education for a background. He paints mostly from memory, which fact, it is said, is re sponsible for the unusual degree of Imaginativeness found in his pictures. Occasionally, Ids wife says, be goes off- to the mountains, but always tears up his sketches when he comes hack and paints his scenes from memory. A few of his pictures have been sold, and these funds have l»een a genuine relief from the poverty that dogged him for so long. NOTICE OF ELECTION.
