PRESIDENT RAWN OF
MON0N IS KILLED
Mystery ShTOuds Death Of the
Railway Chief

Various theories exist as TO the l.-.l.
ner In which Ira G Rawn. president OF
the Monon railroad. was killed in his
summer home at Winnetka Members
OF the family present at the time say
he was murdered 10y a burglar. Others
who hold TO the burglar theory. believe
Mr. Rawn may have started down
stairs TO meet man. supposed TO be In
the house. but that instead Of being
shot by the burglar. he tripped in his
night robe and accidentally pulled the
trigger OF his own revolver as he was
falling. A third story. which Is pre-
scented by members OF the family aud
by subordinate officials OF the Monon.
was the MIR. Rawn took his own life.
being prompted by worry and sleeples-
ness over scandals which have devel-
oped in the last few weeks In the af-
fairs OF the Western Indiana road OF
which Rawn is a director, and OF the
Illinois Central OF which he was vice
president in charge OF operation until
last fall just shortly before startling
charges OF graft became known I'm the
Official directorate Of the Illinois Gem
trail road.
Mrs. Rawn says she was awakened
shortly after / o'clock in the morning
by noise as of someone at a door
downstairs She told Mr.. Rawn or the
noise and he took his revolver. against
her protest, and started quietly down
the front stairway In his night dress.
Mrs. Rawn followed 20 the head OF the
stairways. Two shots were fred. she
said. and her husband fell moaning
down the stairway.
Mr.. Rawn lived only a few minutes
and was unable TO explain how ne had
been shot An examination Of the re-
volver he carried disclosed that Il con-
tanned one empty cartridge. No bullet
was found TO substantiate the firing OF
a second shot. Members OF the family
suggested that the burglar also was
shot. but not In a vital place. In sup
port OF this idea they pointed 10 spots
on a cement walk leading from the
house. close examination OF which dis
closed that they were in all probability

sued on the theory that no practiced
night prowler is the guilty man.
Coroner Hoffman. after examining
the night robe and wounds OF the dead
man. said the shot was fred from a
weapon not over TIVE or three feet
away. Powder burns indicated this.
This distance does not accord with the
version given by family members
Still another clew Is that Mr.. Rawn
vas the victim OF an enemy who wish
ed TO get him out OF the way for busl-
ness reasons. In this connection the
Illinois Central scandal is mentioned.
Mr.. Rawn was operating vice president
of that road at the time the fraudulent
car repair contracts came TO light. A
short time afterward he left the road
and became president OF the Monon.
Mr. Rawn was to have appeared next
Tuesday as a witness in the Illinois
Central cases which has twice been
postponed at his suggestion. Mr. Rawn
also Is supposed 10 have known more
than was comfortable for some who
are involved In the affairs Of the West
ern Indiana. On the ground that some
one feared the revelations Mr. Rawn
might make regarding these matters.
The business enemy theory Is based.
