CLUBMEk ARE
NOW WATCHED
BY SLEUTHS

Cleveland, o. Ang. I0.-That WI
liam L. Rice, millionaire attorney and
clubman, was slain by persons high
in financial and social life becomes
more evident as the Investigation OF
the case progresses. Sheriff Hirffus OF
Cuyahoga county, under whose direc.
ton the Investigation Is being carried
on, has Abandoned the theories that
Rice was killed by ~highwaymen or by
chicken thieves and now is proceeding
on the basis that the murder was the
result of a long standing feud and that
the motive waB revenge.
To bear out the theory that the muir.
der was prompted by personal spite a
story is told OF Rice's final meeting
with n of his clients about two years
ago. Rice, 1t was said, bested this
man IN a business deal, whereupen
the lafter replied:
"1l get you yet. 4 won't ssy when.
But III lget YOU"
Each man then went his w way,
but the enmity engendered that day
never died out.
Nothing now seems mere probable" =
said Hirfius, than that there WIS a
meeting under the are light of two
hot headed men who had had b bitter
quarrel, that the quarrel was resumed,
that fists were used and that Rice
drew the knife to defend himself when
the other drew a big knife. Tne shoot

Detectives are watching closely not

relied yer a business deal, but several

ton Of the mystery. If they should
prove successful in their investigation
Cleveland will be startled, it Is pre-
