Police today divided their attention 3 ^ between a hunt for Leroy, husband of 1 the slain woman, and a second trunk ( believed to contain the vital organs ! of the body, and which is known to 1 have been sent from the Harper 1 Avenue apartment house where the ^ Leroy's lived. Police believe that examination of 1 the organs might reveal whether J death was due to a criminal operation as has been 'hinted since Mrs. Trum- 1 bull made her statement. It was 1 Patrolman and Mrs. Trumbull who 1 identified the victim through clothing found in the trunk. Mrs. Trumbull was to go to New York today to view the body. The police declared today they had established that Mrs. Leroy planned an attempt at suicide before her death. Chicago, July 27.?Police were today investigating the report of C. C. Finley, a Pullman porter, that a man answering to E. Leroy's description who came from Detroit to Chicago recently, aroused the porter's suspicion by remarks abput' police being in search of him. The police sent wixea out.to wes railroad centers following* the porter's statement that the man, accompanied by-a womjin* $aid he was Koing tp Los Angeles. The porter said the man expressed ness of the description given by the porter to the man sought by the police for the trunk murder mystery and the traveller's nervousness caused the Chicago police to give orders to have westbound trains watched. Birmingham, Ala., July 27.?'The woman whose body was found jammed in a trunk in the New York office of the American Railway Express company, was Mrs. Katherine Jack 10 ,,nQ,.Q and her home was 25UI11 if jrv?*?o w.?, ? in Sturgis, Miss., a little town, 20 miles southwest of Starkville, according to investigation made by the Birmingham News. Kid McCoy Jackson, a young farmer, was her husband, according t< the News. Her maideh name wai Katherine Lou Fonden, and she wai the stepdaughter of Alfred Vaughn a Sturgis farmer. Her father wa Hampton Fondren and he died whei she was seven years old. After the death of her mother, lif .in the small country town palled upo the young wife and |he disappeared. Detroit, July 27.?That Mrs. Lero was slain in the Harper Avenue apar nient house here was conclusive! proven today, according to the polk by finding there of blankets identic with those in which the body wi wrapped before it was placed in tl trunk. Another blanket has not been a counted for and the police believe t vital organs of the body were plac in it and put in the second trunk, call has been sent to every exprt office in the country to check over i called for baggagae, in an effort locate the second trunk.

A. War- 1 len, who is supervising the appreh'en- 1 lion of the deserters in addition to in- ( .resti gating bills still being presented igainst the American Expeditionary * forces. ( ATI these deserters have the reputa- T tion with the police of carrying guns * and being bad men generally, the po- * lice siAply notify the American au- ( thorities from time to time of their 1 presence in some particular place, but 1 do not attempt to. arrest them. In some weeks the arrests of desert- 1 ers have averaged as high as ten. The men not only carried guns but were armed with remarkable sets of personal papers including forged army 8 discharges and forged army orders. , nrui xi * - ? A TTivn mcse papers n was simple to obtain the necessary French identity ( cards. Often the men are Americans of foreign birth. The lairs of the deserters are most- ] ly in Montmartre in secret underground passages in which the Apaches 1 of Paris have managed in the past to hide their trails from the police. Their communications are so well established that instantly a raid is carried out by American military police from Coblena thc alarm is given in eyery quarter. T^he deserters are penned up in not daring to stir outside thel fcity. Jf they lefcve Paris it means teayitig an ipcopie which often comesandbeing investigated by the French police again. The number of deserters in Paris is steadily decreasing however. As soon as all alarms have died down the military police swoop down again on suspected places and usually the next day a convoy starts for Goblenz, where fourt martial sits almost continually. Sentences of less than six months are served there and greater sentences in America. DEATH OF A LITTLE CHILD Willie, the eight months old daugh, ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

The arrest was made on Chief Garrity's order when the detective was said to have confessed serving as a. "guard" to Abraham Nelson, who was robbed of $15,000 yesterday. The police today were investigating the possibility of the holdup having been pre-arranged. Nelson said the money was his own, but that he expected to pool whiskey among other saloon men after he secured it. "Sergeant Peterson was to show me where to get the liquor," Nelson said, "but he left me as soon as we , got to the shop and almost immediately I was held up. It looks like a frame up to me." "I have discovered that there appears to have been places where tbcpolice acted as guard for saloonkeepers who did illicit whiskey business." ? ? - MHO Mil MEETING or mm; pit" London, July 27.?A feature of the uggestion of George Tchitcherin, tussian minister of foreign affairs, or a peace conference at London vhich fixes first attention here is that t differs widely from that proposed >y Earl Carlson's recent note from >pa. The present Soviet proposal nstead of accepting discussion under luspices of the peace conference with i*oland and other states bordering on itussia, calls for a meeting with the eading entente powers which, in the dew of commentators here, involves lomething like a two world congress, iffecting the affairs of the greater )arts of Europe and Asia, in what it s thought likely the United States night find it desirable to take a hand. While the Times and some^ other )apers dissent on the condition askng for general wrangles, another dificulty raised against compliance with he Russian suggestion is that it vould practically involve deputy rec)gnition of the Soviet government. It is assumed in some quarters that ;oday's conference between Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand at Boogne will be mainly concerned with ihis difficulty.
