Raleigh, March 18—Policemen, brother officers who served with him on the local force, and other friends, have started a fund to provide for the family of Jesse H. Wyatt while he is serving his sentence in the state prison for the killing of Stephen Holt.
The former detective exhausted all his funds in taking care of the medical and hospital bills on account of Mr. Wyatt’s illness, and the family was left without adequate funds for support.
All living expenses and other necessary things will be met by checks from the fund started by the policemen. Different departments of the city government will share in the fund.
