Widow of Victim Convinced That Col
lins Did Not Kill Her
Husband
Robert Collins, of 1807 Iialnbrldge street,
the oung negro arrested on suspicion that
he was Involved In the murder of Harold K.
Tarnall, at 82L' Pine street on March 25,
was freed today by Magistrate Beaton at
the City Hall Pollco Court. The discharge
of Collins was ordered after It was testified
i that Mrs. Varnall had been unable to Iden
tify him as the negro she saw the night her
husband was killed.
Mrs. Yarnall was not at tho magistrate's
court. .lames K. Hood, an attorney, repre
senting tho Yarnall family, and Detective
Callahan both testified that Mrs. Yarnall
had said Collins was not tho man when ho
had been brought to her for Identification.
Mr. Hoc-i, one of the attorneys acting for
Mrs. Yarnall, (-aid that Mrs. Yarnall did not
want to see any injustice done to Collins.
He said that Mrs. Yarnall wns now con
vinced that Collins was not the negro who
murdered her husband.
After the decision of the court to free
Collins former Judge Gordon explained his
reason for having, entered the case as fol
lows: v
"I went into the case to protect a poor
friendless roan from an unjust accusa
tion of the worst crime known to man
murder. Tho bltuatton'was full of peril.
Happily, this morning ho was exonerated
tnd his Innocense established. He Is again
free, but a very sick man and in need of
hospital treatment. Now that Justice has
1 been attained my connection with the Yar
nall murder case" ends."
Collins was placed in charge of Dr. A. B.
Jackson, of the Mercy Hospital for Negroes.
He will remain there until cured of his
nenous breakdown.

Month. Thousands and
thousands of homes are being
wired as a result of the con-'
centrated effort behg simul
taneously directed all over
the country toward equip
ping already-built houses for
Electric Service. Philadel
phia" will celebrate by offering a liberal plan for financing the
introduction of electric wiring in already-built houses. t We
will allow twelve or twenty-four months in which to pay for,
the wiring, and we will also allow six months for the payment
of all lighting fixture bills not exceeding $75, subject to the
terms and conditions outlined in this advertisement.

Send for your copy of this free book it tells about our
housewiring plan and shows how easily already
built houses can be wired for Electricity
The Plan
The Philadelphia Electric Company will pay the
contractor's bill for wiring repayment to be made
to the Company in twelve or twenty-four monthly
payments without added charge for interest. The
Company will also pay the lighting fixture bill up
to $75 the amount to be repaid in six monthly
payments, without added charge for interest. It is
understood, of course, that this offer applies only
where satisfactory credit is established.
What This Offer Means To You
With the present low residence rates for Electric
ity in Philadelphia, Electric Light actually costs
less in dollars and cents than any other artificial
illuminant: therefore, the use of Electricity for light
and household service in the home should be as
yniversal in the older dwellings as in the new.
i The liberal terms of payment outlined above'pro
vide an exceptionally convenient way of introducing
Electric Service into already-built homes without
the burden of heavy initial expense or added interest
charges. Another point we would like to emphasize
is this: the longer you delay in having your home
wired for Electricity, the greater the chance that
you will have to pay more, for present abnormal
business conditions arc sending the prices of metals
and other materials higher every day.
This month is the time to contract for wiring
your house! The increased amount of wiring bus
iness developed by our special offer will help to keep
prices nearer to their normal level than will be
possible later on. There is no obligation incurred
in investigating this plan or securing estimates.
Terms and Conditions
Tois offer applies only to single residences of the'
ordinary type located along existing lines of the
Company and requiring no more than the ordinary
overhead service connection. Building must not be
a residence in the process of being transformed into
a store, apartment, or other type of building. Resi
dence must never before have been wired, although
the residence portion of a store building will be con
sidered as eligible for this offer if wiring is distinct
and separate from that of store, and if metered sep
arately. Party signing contract must be the owner
of the building to be wired, or the tenant's bill must
be guaranteed by the owner of the building. Con
tracts covering this housewiring offer must be
signed by May 1st and current must be turned on
at premises covered by contracts witMn four weeks
after signing of 'contracts.
How To. Proceed
You may obtain wiring blda from any recognized electrical contractor; or
upon request we will obtain auch estimates for you. When you and we have
accepted the tame and contracts hare been aigned in our regular forms, we will
pay, the wiring and fixture bill a outlined above, after the wiring has been
completed and approved by the Board of Fire Insurance Underwriters and our
own inspectors.
We will also be glad to help you lay out the best and most economical light
ing system for you. There is no charge for this service and you incur n ,
obligation by requesting estimates. ... i
