Woman Victim of Rigdon Tragedy
Tells Story to Police.

Chicago, July 20.-"I don't think

day has been told yet" said Coroner
Peter NJ Hoffman, "and there are cer-
tain persons who can tell much that
has been left unsaid We will get to
the bottom of the whole affair, If pos.
sible"
Many conflicting statements have
been made by all parties in the case
Mrs. Young declared that Rigdon
shot her and killed himself because
he was jealous of two men. One OF
them, she said, is John c. Fetzer, mil
lionaire, in whose office the shooting
took place, and the other is S. w. Tan
