THINK JEALOUSY CAUSE
Of MURDER Of DOCTOR
Stenographer Tells of Working in
Office for the Slain
Chicagoan

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Inez Wilcox, a
young woman stenographer, admitted
to the police today she had been at the
office of DR.. William F. Michaelis, in
his company, until within half an hour
of the time he was murdered on his
way home last night.
Miss Wilcox was released today. She
said she had done some clerical work
for the dentist and was so occupied
until 10 p. m. on the night he was slain
She left the office at the same hour
as DR.. Michaelis did, parting from him
at the street, she said.
Half an hour later he was shot to
death. The police are without a clew
to the identity of the murderer.
"I am sure that revenge or jealousy
furnished the motive said Captain
Collins after talking with Miss Wilcox.
"Finding his watch and money pre-
cludes the possibility of robbery, as
does the statement of Miss Elizabeth
Bredon, who saw the slayer and
his victim talking together as ac-
uuaintances."
