 club committee, has made arrange- 

 ments with the Sheldon School of

Killed by Former Employees. 



According to the police, William 

 Weil, who was found murdered, April 

 5, in the rear of his flower store on 



West Sixty-third street, was killed by 

 former employees. Three young men 

 have been arrested. One of these is 

 Walter F. Weed, 18 years old, a 

 brother of Edward Weed, who was 

 Weil's bookkeeper, and himself em- 

 ployed, by Weil up to six months ago. 

 He kept his key when he left Weil's 

 employment and used it to gain ingress 

 on the fated night. Another of those 

 arrested is August Hard, 23 years old, 

 who was an extra hand in the store 

 during the Christmas rush. The police 

 say both have confessed but they deny 

 they knew Weil had been killed when 

 they left him. 



By arrangement with the public ad- 

 ministrator, Dinger & Black, proprie- 

 tors of the Garfield Flower Shop, 211 

 East Garfield boulevard, will take over 

 the flower store at 421 West Sixty- 

 third street, recently operated by Wil- 

 liam Weil, who waa found dead in the 

 rear of the shop April 5. The store 

 will be under the management, for a 

 time at least, of Mr. Dinger and Mrs. 

 Black, his sister.
