And Anothe
Detroit, July 27.?A statement to i
the police by Mrs. Leo Trumbull, I
wife of a patrolman, that Mrs. EuKene
Leroy, victim of Detroit's trunk
murder mystery, had confided in her
that she was about to become a
- mother, injected a new theory into 3
the case today. !
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.

Mm DESERTERS ID FRANCE :
HON NUMBER ORE HUNDRED;
Paris, July 27?Deserters from the 1
American army that came to France
itill number 100 in the Paris district
done, according: to a report made by 1
Jie Paris police to Captain J. 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.

CHICAGO POLICE: AIDING \
< ? iuuuiiaSE OF BOOZE
Chicago, July 27.?Chief of Police
Garrity today announced that he had
been "quietly" investigating reports
of police aiding in whiskey purchases
on the part of a saloon keeper following
the arrest of Detective Sergeant
Paul Peterson last night.
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. '
