Graves and while they have not as
yet reached the ends Of the tangle
there have been some developments
which may aid them in their search.
Graves has admitted that at the time
he was shot thee might have been a
iscuff1e, but he claims thatssshe was
so excited over the matter that he did
not know just what had' happened.
From the statements,that he has made
| It is thought very sprobable that
scuff1e took place before Graves was
shot.
The police looked into many clues
on Wednesday but none of them
brought a so1ution3 of theasmystery.
Graves had long talks with his en-
ployer and newspaper man on We'd
nesday and at that time he.ssinsisted
that he had told all that he knew
about the story except that there
might have been a scuff1e between
him and the person who had fired the
shot. His memory seems to be de-
cidedly tangled in regard to the
scuf1e proposition.
| Yesterday afternoon the Racine
officials and newspaper men had a
long interview with the Racine wo-
man who is alleged to have been
very close friend of Graves and who
is alleged to have written several let
tiers to him.
She stated that she could throw no
| light on the matter in the least as she
had only heard of the shooting
through the local papers whichs pub
1ished the account Tuesday night.
She had not been interviewedlby the
police or anyone else until Wednesday
and what she told the reporter was
said in a cool and collected manner,
even though.ishe admitted that she
had suffered considerably from ner.
vousness since the report was brought
ont connecting her with the affair.
She denied that she was in Kenosha
on the night of the shooting. She
was in this citYssabout two weeks ago
when she attended a meeting Of a
lodge il this city Ito which she be-
longs. There is no branch sof the
order in Racine and for that reason
she attended the meeting in 'Kenosha.
She denied that she had ever visited
the rooms of young Graves in this
city, although she knew where they
were located. The trouble sheshad in
regard to his going out with other
women, she said, occurred in .Racine

was no affair of the kind as charged
took place in the koffice of the Flege1
Company lin Kenosha. If it took
place she was.not the woman in it.
She smiled trif1e when the repre-
sentative asked her if she fired the
shot which injured Graves and fol-
lowed itsswith the remark that she had
never fired off revolver in her life.
She hadealways been deathly afraid
OF firearms and never had been al
lowed to handle them, admitting that
she had tempersswhich showed itself
sometimes and which might cause
her to do. some harm. She positively
denied that .she was in Kenosha on
the night of the shooting and retired
at her home in Racine at $50 o'clock.
After she had talked while on the
subject she became more free in her
conversation and discussed the.differ-
ent phases of the case. She said that
the action of the person who fred
the shot was that of a coward and
she had never been accused OF
being that. She would never fire
at anybody in the dark as was
. the evident case in Kenosha. While
the story of.thesshooting had brought
her irto the matter, she stated that
she was entirely innocent, as it ap-
pears from thorough investigation.
She knew little about the affairs Of
young Graves as he kept everything
to himself.
She admitted that she had written
several letters to Graves while he was
in Kenosha. All of these letters, she
said, had been.written with the know.
ledge of her husband and under those
circumstances she said, she would
certainly not write anything out OF
the way. When asked as to the threats

she did not remember that she had
ever made any. If she did she had
no remembrance of it, although she
might have done so when she was in
nervous state of mind.
According 10 the church census
taken in Waukegan last week that
thriving village Is shown to have a
population of little over s, 200 people.
Waukegan is kicking, and is making
loud wall on the church people for
bringing to light the real facts in
regard to the population of the
| village. For years the people there
had been able to work the census OH
Gals, but finally asbnnch of conscien-
tious census takers got to work and
: the real secret leaked out.
