MURDER THEORY

the Charge in Order to Get

INVESTIGATION is BEGUN
A STENOGRAPHER, WHO DOES
NOT WANT HER IDENTITY
KNOWN, WRITES OF SEEING
THE MURDER COMMITTED.
lPublishers' Press.l


Chicago, Dec. 26.-On the strength
of anonymous letters declaring that
J. l.. Lee, the millionaire advertising
agent whose body was found floating
in the lake December II, was run
down by an automobile and then
thrown into the water and drowned to
hide the accident, a desperate effort
was made at the inquest today to learn
of the accused autoists.
The murder theory is that of Lee s
two sons, who say they have met the
young woman who wrote the letters,
but are compelled to hide her linden
tity to save her from notoriety. The
police maintain in that the Lee broth
ers are trying to make out a murder
case that they may not lose the in
surance on their fathers life which is
uncollecticable if he committed sui
eide.
Charles Z. Peterson and c. Wolf,
owners of Garage on Evanston Ave
nue., and James, Tony and Emil MARI,
who run carriage on the lake front,
were witnesses at the inquest.
The attorneys for the Lee brothers
centered their questions on the where
aboute on the night of the elder Lees
death of an automobile, No. 1882, own
cd by Attorney John +. Crawford, and
kept at the PetersonWolf garage.
The MARI brothers testified that
they were playing cards on the night
Lee was killed; were not in an auto
mobile at all that that evening and
that the Crawford machine was not
kept at their establishment.
Wolf said he was out of town the
night Lee was killed and Peterson
swore that, to the best OF his recil-
lection, the Crawford automobile has
not been out of the garage in three
months
Crawford was subpoenaed but will
not testify until tomorrow. He could
not be found today but is said to have
corroborated Petersons statement that
his automobile Has long been I'M
used.
The anonymous letters are signed
C. S. b. NJ. The writer says she
would probably lose her position as a
stenographer if her name appeared in
connection with the case but that she
knew Lee and saw him struck by the
auto, the NUMBER ana appearance OIL
which she described.
The young man got out and put
him into the automobile continued

lake. The man is dark complexioned,

1t is very misleading to base elabo-

upon alcohol; we do not. There are
many problems to be met in this mat

past ten years than George Odom, nor has a
boy ever ridden in America who enjoyed
more fully the confidence of horsemen and
racegoers alike. His record when he re-
tired was absolutely without blemish. Odom
could. without much trouble, reduce to 1l5
or lis pounds, a weight that would allow
him to take part in races like the Brook
lyn, Suburban. Brighton and Saratoga ham
dicaps, the Futurity and the great weight
for ages events, in addition to minor fix
lures and overnight handicaps.
Odom's String.
At present Odom is wintering small
string of his own at Sheepshead Bay. and
They are all two-year-olds with the excep-
ton of Cassandra, the Horoscope three
year-old, with which he made a killing last
fall. Cassandra has broadened out con-
siderably since the close of racing last year,
and is now fine looking FLY, likely to
make good in fair company next season. OF
the two-year-olds the most promising is My
Addie. slashing looking daughter OF My
Boy-Addie Mac. and therefore half sister
to the good racer McAddie of a few years
ago. My Addie Is a chestnut of fine proper
tons, well set up. and on looks, at least. Is
destined to become something of racer.
Oraculum. bay colt by Sorcerer; Encore.
a bay core by Plaudlt-Iona; Rye Boy, a
chestnut colt by Favorable Miss Rye, and a
flly by the Pepper are other Juveniles In
the Odom string. All are wintering well
pared for racing. Should Odom decide to
ride again a Encouragement of affairs may
be necessary He could hardly care TO train
and ride horses at the same time. although
Marty Bergen combined the two vocatious
last year. The owner-trainer- Jockey would
be an innovation, but the Jockey club could
hardly ind ground for objection, provided
he did not ride against his own horses.

Promise of Blair Athol

Promise of Blair Athol.
That Rosebens three year-old full broth
er. Blair Athol, is a horse of some promise
is evidenced by the fact that Maurice Hay
man has put him in the Flight stakes for
next fall Hayman made the nomination
on the recommendation of David Watkins,
a man who knows pretty well what to do
with a horse. Blair Athol Is a fine look
ing colt. He was developed by Bud May
FOR Walter Scheftel, and Scheftel took
chance IN the Saratoga Special on him.
The colt did not win the Special, but he
took brace after the Saratoga meeting
and landed good race and a good bet for
ms owner and his owners friends at
Sheepshead Bay. He looks something like
MS brother and he has plenty of speed.

Horses of Rosebens heft break down easily

Roseben also Is in the Flight, and II is
safe to figure that he will do his running
THIS year In seven furlong races of that sort.
why he was put In the mile and quarter
handicaps is not clear. 1t was demon
strated last summer by his easy defeat by
Molly Brant that Roseben was no distance

Roseben for distance races Is bad bust
ness; 1t Is likely to deprive him of the speed
he needs to win within bis distance.
odom May Ride Again.
George Odom may find his way back to
the saddle during the coming season of
racing. The young man from Georgia, who
announced hts retirement year agowand
started In as owner and trainer on his own
account. has about reconsidered his deter
mination to quit the ranks of saddle artists,
and is thinking seriously of training down
to 115 or lis pounds In order to place him
self in position to make contract with one
of the more prominent metropolitan stables
to ride in stake and handicap events during
the season of 1906
Odom Is satisfied that he can never again
reach even moderately light weight 1t was
his Increasing avordupois that induced him
to retire last year. He does know, however,
that there is always a mount In q stake

He intends to take a rest and then re-en-

At any te, that was not my only piece OF

the ring. Now surely would have gone

In my recent fight with Herman l
couldn't get going at all. Catarrh bothered

out of me. My seconds were greatly sur
prised at my lack of ginger, and in the
second round Spider Kelly was heard to

Barry, holder of the Canadian welter-
weight championship. has forsaken college
and taken up prize fighting again. For sew
eral years Barry was a champion In his
class. but he gradually outgrew it and be-
came first a middle-weight and then light
heavyweight. Barrythen decided to take a

University. Last fall he played fullback
for Northwestern for more than month
and made q brilliant record. Just on the
eve of the big games 1T was discovered
that Barry. the fullback, was Dave Barry,

hood gone, Barry left college and then he
resumed his former occupation.
