IDENTIFY WOMAN;
MAKES CONFESSION
Is Step-Daughter of Norwegian
Attack Younger One from
Convent.

CHICAGO. July 1.-THE identity
of Mrs. Deufex.' shot last Friday
afternoon by Charles w. Rigdon just
before he met death from a bullet
wound, said to be self-inflicted, was
learned positively to-day to be Mrs.
Emma Young. now residing In Evan
ston, and stepdaughter OF an aetache
of the Norwegian embassy at Wash
tngton.
The young woman known as Mary
Wilson, who was with Mrs. Young at
the time of the shooting. is Miss
Theresa Trojman, stepsister of the
wounded woman, and who until three
weeks ago was an inmate of a Catho-
lie convent near Washington, d. c.
The name of John C. Fetzer, mill
lionaire real estate man of this city.
was drawn more closely into the trag-
edy by q statement of Mrs Young,
who declared Rigdon had visited the
real estate Office two days before the
shooting, drawn a revolver and threat
ened to kill Fetzer.
Following these announcements an
unverified report was circulated that
Mrs Annie Hawbecker Rigdon. wild
ow of the dead man, would file a
charge of murder against Mrs Young
and file a civil suit to regain stocks
and which Mrs Rigdon alleges be-
longed to Rigdon.
A prominent attorney has been en-
gagged by persons whose identity Is
surrounded with mystery to defend
Mrs. Young and her stepslster from
any charges that may be brought
against them.
A complete confession of her idep-
tity and of circumstances leading up
to the shooting was made to-day by
Mrs. Young, who still is dangerously
i'll at hospital here.
She declared she had been in the
employ Of Rigdon as a stock sales
woman for the last six years. During
this time she made several trips with
him, visiting numerous cities Of the
country. Her relationship with Rig
don recently had been severed, she
declared because OF his habits of
drinking.
Rigdon is charged by Inspector
LAWN with having visited Mr.. 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 shooting.
| Rigdon learned that Mrs. Young
| had written letters to Fetzer. and In
| spector LAWN declares that Rigdon
| demanded that Fetzer produce these
| letters and explain them to him. The
! letter addressed to Fetzer and found
! in Rigdon's pocket after his death is
| said TO have been taken by Rigdon
! from a bunch Of unopened letters on
! the desk Of the real estate man be-
| fore the latters arrival at the office
and the day 1t was delivered.

decided to raise the rate from Sl.%0

The State pays for the bond OF the
clerks In the offices in Richmond.
This amounts to but sac now. II the

been accepted the cost would have
been more than $500. The money for
bonding the clerks, however. Is incon-

STATE officers who likewise ould have
