WEALTHY LAWYER
FOUND MURDERED
MYsTERlOUsLY
His Valnables Untouched, His
Body Lay in Middle of
Fashionable Street.

CLEVELAND, o.. Aug. s.-The body
of William L. Rice, wealthy attorney,
vas found last night lying in the mid
die of a roadway on Euclid Heights,
with two bullet wounds in the head.
A long and deep cash on the left
hand, which had almost severed that
member, showed that both a knife and
a revolver had been used IN the assault.
Neither the money nor other valu-
ables on the body had been touched.
thus effectually ~disposing of a POSSIBLE
ity that a highwayman had committed
the murder.
The members of the Rice family, in
Guiding his four children, are spending
the summer at Cape Cod, and Rice has
beer living alone in his home with he
servants.
The spot where the crime was com
mitted was almost in front of the horne
of former Governor Myron T. HerTick-
Rice was in middle life and has been
one of CIeveland's most conspicuous at
torneys for sixteen years. Recently he
has acted as counsel In the closing of
the affairs of various defunct banking
institutions, and an early police theory

Rice's law partners, Judge e. j. Blan-
din and Frank II. CHM, Joined he po-
lice early this morning In attempting
to run down the slayer.
County officials and the police of
Euclid Heights today are also working
on the theory thai Mr.. Rice was the
victim Of robbers, who we're frightened
away before they had a chance to rifle
his pockets.
Marshal Brockway, of Euclid Heights,
unearthed a likely clue today when he
ascertained that two foreigners were.
seen within a half block of the scene
of the murder directly after the shots
that caused Rice's death were fired.
Was stnI Alive When Found.
The supposition is that the robbers
were frightened away by the approach
Of an automobile, which contained Drs.
w. H. Phillips and T. H. George and
their wives. The automobile picked
Rice up and conveyed him to a hos
pital, but he died on the way.
Rice was not known to have any enc
mics. r. G. Castock, caretaker of the
Euclid Heights home, told the police
that some time ago dynamite was dis
covered under the porch of the Rice
mansion, but the police do not believe it
had any connection with the present
case.
Marshal Brockway and Rice's law
partners, Judge E. j.. Blandin and
Frank II. CHM, today will search his
private papers in hopes of discovering
a clue.
Two persons have reported to the
police that they saw two foreigners
near the place Mr.. Rice was murdered.
John C. Chandler passed them shortly
before Rice was killed. A few min
utes after he saw the strangers, Mr..
Chandler met Mr.. Rice, who was walk
ing toward the foreigners. Attorney
R. p. Ranney saw the two men shortly
after the shots. that killed Rice were
fired.
A reward of $4,000 for the apprehen-
sion of the murderers was offered today
by Judge e. j. Blandin and Attorney
F. H. CHM, Rice's law partners, and
J.. B. Zeerbe. a close friend of the dead
man.

had a general good time. DR.. Ricketts,
came upstairs and stopped u fun.
The next morning Miss McCue sent for
me and told me I had better get out
right away. l nae no chance to de-
fend myself.
A letter was then read from Miss
Pike. She said she was working in a
hospital al Washington, d. c., and was
unable TO be present. In her letter she
said:
Eve were in the parlor having a
good time. AS a sort of dare l jumped
on the lap of DIR. Brown. I jumped on
and jumped right off again."
DIR. Brown next took the stand. He
said:
Il was in my room studying the ex-
aminations for the next day. The doors
of my rooms were unlocked and the
windows open 1t is hard for me to
concentrate myself, yet l will state
that I heard no noise from the parlor.
Miss Shute came to my room and in
vited me to the parlor. In the parlor
Miss Pike sat on my lap. Nothing hap
pened, however. that could not have
happened in any drawing ROOM"
Miss Hanrahan then came before the
board. She said that she heard Miss
Pike frequently use p~rofane language,
and that a ~favcrite pastime of hers was
to stick her feet up high on the piano
or on the window sin. She never heard
Miss Shute swear, she said.
AS an evidence of what he termed
he intolerable conditions at the hosi
pital, DR.. Brown related that on one
night Miss Brigett, one of the nurses,
was paid a visit by a male acquaint-
ance, who brought ice
Eve were refused spoons by Miss
McCue," he said, and had to eat the
cream with pieces Of cardboard"
Miss McCue said that she had re-
fused spoons because she did not want
the nurses to receive their company in
the parlor, and that the proper place
to eat cream was In the dining-room.
After one of these company visits"
said Miss McCue. "the parlor invariably
was in a deplorable state"
DIR. Patterson said: 81 will not deny
we were having a good time, but every
thing was open and there was moth
ing really bad. We were dancing and
singing, the same as we had been
many times before. 1 had a Fremont
ton, though. that we were going to
get the devil"
The committee then went into execu-
tive session, n by a vote of 4 to 2
decided that the nurses should remain

being Commissioner Foyle and DR..

INSPECTOR UPHELD
WHO CONDEMNED
Ar N OUR MEAT
Despite Company's Protests
"Tankage' Is Sent to the
Fertilizer Plant.

Despite the contention of the Armour
company that the condemning OF a
large quantity of meat yesterday by
Meat Inspector Daniel Kuhn was not
justified, Chief Inspector Werner
Runge, at an inspection today, upheld
the action of Kuhn and ordered the
meat sent to Schwarz Bros. fertilizer
plant, HOO Harrison avenue, Harrison.
A report Will be returned to Chief In
'spector Runge stating just what dis
position has been made of the tank
age" and bones.
DR.. Runge, when he entered the cold
storage rooms of the packing company,
Immediately remarked on the strong
odor and told the Armour representa-
tive that much more OF his meat would
spoil were no the cause of the odor
removed.
Examined Each Piece Carefully.
He then, with Kuhn, proceeded to
the inspection of the condemned meat.
Carefully he examined each piece, cut
ting into it with a skewer. In each
case he found something wrong, though
the chuck had been carefully
trimmed and washed before Runge ar
rived.
After the examination DR.. Runge
stated that the meat condemned by
Kuhn, if exposed to the heat or in
wagons while being transported to re-
~tailers, would spoil in six hours time
at the most. He also stated that in his
opinion the meat was kept too long
In the boxes.
1t is said that only a short time ago
more meat was found to be spoiled and
was ordered destroyed in the same

PHASES CROP
UP IN MUNICIPAL
LIGHTING SCHEME
Council, After Warm Discussion,
Delays Action on Matter
One Month.

1t is evident from last nights action
to light some Of the municipal build
ings from the City Hall power plant
Will take on some very interesting
phases before the matter Is finally dis
posed Of. When the municipal lighting
committee made its report to the Coun
Gil 1t embodied a request that an APP
preparation of $500 be granted to pay
for the services of an expert to de-
termine whether or not it would be
practical to utilize the conduits of the
telephone company FOR transmitting
power from the City Hall plant to the
Centre Market and SOM of the fire.
houses.
Alderman Congleton objected to the
proposal and moved that the commune
cation be laid on the table. The mo-
ton prevailed, but the committees let
ter did not remain on the table very
long. Alderman Biertuempfel was on
his feet in a few minutes and moved
that the committees request be taken
from the table for further considera-
ton. This was sufficient to start afresh
the discussion that had been smolder-
ing when the subject first came up,
and Alderman Congleton, leading the
opposition to the plan, objected to the
matter being taken up.
He said: This is q far more serious
matter than perhaps some of the MEM
bers realize, and the proposition to
have the city go into the municipal
lighting business Is a question that
should be very deeply considered. I
doubt If we want to undertake any
such responsibility, and in n event 1t
is something that we should have an
opportunity to consider from every
angle before we put the stamp of APP
prevail or rejection upon it.
Urges Caution.
1--WE ought to have a fair chance to
study the subject before we undertake
to go into the municipal lighting bust
ness, and we should not forget that
other cities have tried out the same
plan with very doubtful success. Per-
sonaIly, l know now how I shall vote
on the proposition. but there are other
members who l feel confident are not
yet prepared to say just where they
stand on the municipal ownership
of public utilities, and that is
just what the project amounts to,
for if we begin by lighting a
few municipal buildings. the next
step will be to light the streets,
and the Importance of the move justi-
fies us in going slow. For that reason /
am opposed to taking the matter from

CRIPPENS WIFE
POISONED SAYS
CHE
Scotland Yard Believed to Have
Evidence Sufficient to
Convict Doctor.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Scotland Yard,
according to a high official, has today
a secret report by Professor Pepper,
the expert chemist, who examined the
body of Belle Gilmore, DR.. Hawley H.
Crippen's wife, stating that she was
poisoned.
With his finding of the eminent
chemist, proof that DR.. Crippen bought
five grains of hyoscine before his wife
disappeared, the identification of the
body unearthed in the cellar of the
Hilldrop Crescent home, Scotland Yard
has a chain of circumstantiai evidence
which it says will send the little physi-
clan to the gallows.
1t was after receiving the report that
the former American actress had been
poisoned that detectives started on the
search that resulted in revealing the
purchase by DR.. Crippen of the hyo-
seine at the drug store of Lewis q
Barrows. CrIppen, it was said, made
no effort to conceal his identity when
he bought the poison. His signature
on the poison record shows not the
slightest trace of nervousness. one
fifth of q grain of this subtle drug
Is sufficient to kill a human being.
The clerk who waited on DIR. Crippen
said the physician explained he desired
the hyoscine for use in connection with
a patent medicine.

QUEBEC. Aug. G.-By his action
DIR. Crippen has today saved himself
the ordeal OF appearing in d Canadian
court before the time he is turned over
formally to British authorities on
August Is. Still strong in their deter
mination not to oppose any of the pro-
ceedings to send them back under the
fugitive offenders law, both Crippen
and Miss LIE Neve waived any rights
they might have for a weekly arraign-
ment, and thus will not be disturbed
until the necessary papers have been
prepared and forwarded from the office
of the Governor-Genera at Ottawa.
