MILLIONAIRE Slain Slain
In Ohio METROPOLIS
Murder of Prominent Cleveland
Lawyer Promises to Develop
a Sensation.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. s.-The theory
that William M. Rice. a wealthy attor-
ney, found dead near his home In
Euclid Heights village last night, with
two bullet wounds in his head, was
killed by robbers was temporarily set
aside this afternoon when Chief of
Police Kohler, after examining Rice's
chauffeur, John Grimes, announced
that light had been thrown upon the
case which might lead to startling de-
velopments.
Judge e. Blandin and Frank H. CHM,
Rice's law partners, and j.. B. Zerbe,
his close friend and business associate,
have offered a reward of $4,000 for the
apprehension Of the person or persons
who committed the murder. Mrs. Rice
and her daughters are h%urrying here
from Massachusetts, where they have
been spending the summer.
To offset the theory OF robbery, the
police point to the fact hat Mr.. Rice
was murdered in the glare Of a street
lamp, and that no valuables were taken
from him. On the body the police found
1892 in cash, three gold rings, a watch,
and a diamond studded collar button.
