Akron, o., SuitOr of Mrs. Hud.
son Believed Slayer.
Has Caused Trouble in Past
for Dead Couple.

Paola, Kan, June 10.-with the
| arrival of j. S. Hudson of North In
dustry, o., father of Rollin Hudson.
who. with his wife, was found muir
dered Thursday afternoon, the au-
thorities received the first informa-
ton that bears the sem blance of a
clue to the identity OF the murderer.
Hudson said that he himself had
,, no reason to suspect any particular
person, but quoted Jacob Axe of
Massillon, O., father of the murdered
woman, as saying he believed a man
who lives in Akron, o., was the slayer.
This man, Hudson said, AXE declared
had been missing from Akron two
answers that of the man seen in
Paola the night of the crime by
neighbors of the Hudsons.
Mr.. AXE told me-" Hudson said,
that since notified of the crime he
had made an investigation and that
everything pointed toward this man.
who had been the cause of my sons
domestic troubles. This man, I I'M
derstand, was in love with my daugh-
ter-in-law before her marriage and
persisted in paying her attentions
after she became the wife of my son.
SuitOr's Attentions Blamed.
HE caused the couple to move
twice while they lived in Ohio and I
have reason to believe my son feared
him. Mr.. AXE said he knew of the
trouble this man had caused and
when notified of the crime started an
investigation. He learned he had been
absent from Akron, where he was en-
pIoyed in rubber factory. about two
weeks"
Mr.. Hudson is the only relative of
the murdered couple who will come
to Paola. He will take, the bodies
back to Ohio. He is a justice of the
peace at North Industry. The father
of Mrs. Hudson was expected, but
did not come when Mr.. Hudson
stopped off in Massillon and told him
he was on his way to Paola.
F. Marion Chandler, sheriff of MI
ami county, and E. ]. Sheldon, coun-
ty prosecutor, spent the day goinR
over the letters and postcards taken
from the home of the Hudsons, hop
ing to find something that will throw
a light on the motive for the MUIR
der.
of Woman in Case Abandoned.
The faint clue leading to the belief
that a woman might at least have
been implicated in the murder was
a bandoned. The theory which clings
strongly in the minds of the officers
is that a discarded affinity of Mrs.
committed the crimes.
The little town was thrown into a
state of excitement Saturday when a
negro, who had lain down on the
track and had fallen asleep.
was killed by a train. Rumors were
set afloat imm ediately that the muir
derer of the Hudsons had been killed
after a running fight with a deputy
sheriff The number of shots fired in
the battle was placed at twenty.
