woman whose body was found yester-

had the most lucra tive practice of his
career. Duke Munyons son of Profess

about 100 pounds. He worked for us
for five years
There was only one thing to dis

was his wife, Belle Elmore. He was
intensely jealous of her. and they Oft
en- quarreled. She was pretty and at
tractive and she had lots of men

ed. He and his wife went around con-
stantly togather and apparently they
We're happy. In 1899 he came to me
and said that he was going to New
York and then to England.
Y think that it was about two years
later that he wrote from London and
said that he had esta blished a fine
practice in the British city, that he
owned his own home. and that he
and Belle were living happily togeth-
