Mrs. Cudahy then told the story of
the attack. Her husband, said she.
attended by his chauffeur. had found
Mr.. Lillls and Mrs. Cudahy at the
Cudahy home. She said:
Liilis' New Automobile BIamed.
IL was last Friday that Mr.. Lillis
received his new runabout. I had
the first ride in the other one and I
told Mr.. Lillis wanted the first ride
in this one. He said / should have
II. ! told Fem. our chauffeur. that
day that Mr.. Lillis had gotten his
new car and that I was to have a
ride in IT. incidentally. remarked
that Mr.. Cudahy was going out of
town, down to Grainheld, Kas., | be-
lieve, to look at some cattle.
Well, Fem must have been bribed
by Mr.. Cudahy. / have always been
good to that boy and Mr. Cudahy
was always fussing at him. That Mr..
Cudahy's going out of town would
have had anything to do with my
riding with Mr.. Lillls would be re-
diculous. Mr.. Cudahy often says he
Is going out OF town and then never
goes. He probably does that nine
times out of ten.
Friday the car was unloaded and
in the afternoon we took a ride.
The weather was fine and we sped
over the track roads. Saturday Mr..
Lillis said ! should try it out again.
We went out Saturday afternoon and
then drove out to the Country club
for dinner. Then we decided to go
down to the Baltimore instead, which
we did. We stayed there only long
enough to eat, and then went out.
AS we went out said to Mac, the
head waiter. that he should see Mr.
Lillis' new car.
Two Go Riding Again.
We went riding in the evening
again. When we came home Mr.
Lillis was going to drive away, when
asked him to come into the house.
We went into the library downstairs
and had been talking only a few
minutes when Mr. Cudahy (Mrs.
cudahy always called him "Mr.
Cudahy') rushed into the room. He
must have come into the house
through the billiard room. He was
accompanied by Fem Johann Moss)
the chauffeur. They seized Mr.. LII
Us and began beating him. Mr..
Cudahy had a thing that he used in
the car and he beat Mr.. Lillis over
the head with II.
Here Mrs Cudahy looked over at
the table near her couch and said:
There il is there. See the blood on
the end"
The ching" to which she alluded
was an electric searchlight. 1t was
s inches long and about the thick
ness OF a mans wrist THAT was
what he hit me with, too" said Mrs.
Cudahy. She continued:
II ran as soon as they were beat
ing Mr.. Lillis. believed they would
try to kill him, and ! thought they
would try TO kin me-. too. They had
a rope with them when they came in
and both swore frightfully. ! ran
upstairs and stood screaming at the
top of the stairs. Freda, the maid,
came running In with the other serv-
ants. She stood with her arms
about me to protect me. They had
finished tieing Mr.. Lillis by this time,
and MIR. Cudahy came tearing up
stairs. He struck me over the head
and in the left eye. (Mrs. Cudahy
raised her handkerchief to the swol-
len eye.) Look what he did.
Telephones for Police.
Then he rushed downstairs again.
judge he began to use the knife on
Mr.. Lillis. He must have had II
with him. although / did not see II
when he came in. Freda ran down
stairs and came up again. telling me
they were cutting Mr.. Lillis. l cried
murder and ran to the telephone. II
was I who called the police. Would
