just previous to his departure on a 10
days cruise along the coast of Maine
President Taft had as his luncheon
guests Senators Burton and Dick and
former Attorney General Wade Ellis.
now chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the republican state central
committee of Ohio.
The Ohio situation was discussed
informally. While the president may
have some personal preference in the
matter he will not declare in
favor of any of the three or four can
didates named, preferring to let the
convention take care of the matter
without any interference on his part.

The presidents guests left the sum-
meT White house just before 2:30 p.
M, and five minutes later the presi-
dent, Mrs Taft and the other mem
bers of the cruising party departed on
board the yacht Mayflower. Senator
Burton returned to Boston by auto
mobile and Senator Dick and Mr. Ellis
took an afternoon train for Boston.
Senator Burton planned to go direct
to Ohio. Senator Dick and Mr.. Ellis
will visit Washington before going
home
Neither Senator Dick nor Mr.. Ellis
had much to say. Both agreed the
meeting was entirely satisfactory. Mr..
Ellis said his scall on the president
was principally concerned with the
platform to be drawn up for the Ohio
convention, rather than with any can
didate for the nomination for governor

lionaire Chicago real estate dealer, was
closely drawn into the tragedy by the
statement of Mrs. Young, who declared
Rigdon had visited the real estate of
fee two days before the shooting, with
a drawn revolver, and threatened to
kill Fetzer.
Following these announcer an
unverified report was circulated that
Mrs. Annie Hawbecker Rigdon, widow
of the dead man, would file a charge of
murder against Mrs. Young and file a
civil suit to regain stocks and bonds
now held by Mrs. Young, and which
Mrs. Rigdon alleges belonged TO Rig,
don. A prominent attorney has been
engaged by persons whose identity is
surrounded by mystery to defend Mrs.
Young and her step-sister from any
charges that may be brought against
them.

this time she made several trips with
him visiting numerous cities in the
country. Her relationship with Rigdon
recently had been severed, she declar-
ed, because of his habit of drink
ing.
Rigdon is charged by Inspector LAWN
with having visited Fetzer's office with
the purpose of killing the real estate
dealer and the woman and asserts that
Fetzer was the real cause of the shoot
ing
Rigdon learned that Mrs. Young had
written love letters to Fetzer and de-
clares that Rigdon demanded Fetzer to
produce these letters and explain to
him. An unopened letter addressed to
Fetzer and found in Rigdon's pocket
after his death is said to have been
taken by Rigdon from the desk of Fet-
ger before the letter arrived.
