sasainatioD of Judge Willis S.
Kaowjes has taken its place among
the most mysterious of the unsolved
minder mysteries in the criminal an
nals of Rhode aland... The murder
occurred one year ago today, when
the .Judge, was mortally shot in the
back in broad "daylight and within
view of his summer home in Johns
town, eight miles west of Providence.
Twelve months of investigate has
failed to throw any light" on the mys
tery of flie murder or to unearth any
clue. as to the assassin or assassins.
The murder af first .appeared to' be
an act or revenge by some malefactor
who had received his deserts for petty
crime at the bands of the Judge. In
vestigation served to showf however,
that while mere brutal inst'net for re
venge may have prompted the murder,
elements in the life of the slain man,
and conditions in" the community in
which he lived, have been brought
(0 igfit ihat,reveat-r atrjihge, deep
