TANGO DANCE
Proves to Be Lure to Death of
a Chicago Woman

Chicago. Oct. 4.-Tha snaKy, sinu-
ous, sensual Argentine tango dance
of the lawless Spanish. American On
derworld of Buenos Ayres, trailed in
to the United States by way of Paris,
has become in Chicago q veritable
dance of death in its relation to the
tragic murder of Mrs. Mildred ALI
SON. Rexroat.
Though the story of the woman's
complex life in the last year. the
music of the tango rum like the motif
of an opera, family at first, then in
s~inuatingly, then rising to overwhelm-
ing passion, and finally crashing into
tragedy.
1t was the tango that brought to-
gether the principal actors in the
tragedy. Mrs. Mildred Allison, dis
satisfied with her home because of the
lure OF the gayer life of tango dancing.
left her husband and three children,
supporting herself by teaching the
dances she found so alluring. Everett
Rerxoat, coming from his father 8 farm
to abe livelier ways of the city, went
wild over the tango.
"Mr. Spencer" the stranger on
whose discovery depends the solution
of the mystery OF Mr.. Retreats muir
der. met the woman in the dancing
academy, where he came with the as
sertion that he "had to learn the tan
CO."
Married life of the Allisons was Just
at the breaking point when Everett
Rexroat met Mrs. Allison. Rexroat
the son of u farmer neal Macomb, ILL.,.
had come to Chicago with a determin-
alton to learn the tango.
To the country youth the tango
came to represent the gayety. the
brightness, the social pleasures of the
big city. Even before he met Mrs.
Allison at Sas Souci. Rexroat had
sought training in the tango, studying
in a class conducted in the Powers
building here.
His obsession for dancing the tango
was the bond between Rexroat and
Mrs. Allison. Their courtsnip was in
the dancing academies. And their as
ISOLATION was the reason for Mrs. AL
lison's final quarrel with her husband
and subsequent divorce.
After her mariisge to Rexroat Mrs
Allison Rexroat told her for.ner nus
band that she didn't love the country
youth, bot simply was danced into
marrying him.
While Rexroat stayed at his fathers
farm bis wife remained in Chicago,
teaching the tango at an academy.
To the academy came Spencer, the
man accused of having murdered the
SONAR Spencer wanted to learn
tle tango. He became Mrs. Retreats
shadow. 1t WIS through her interest
in tango teaching that Spencer was
able to lure her ont to the lonely
road at Wayne. He had promised to
form a class in Wheaton that she
was to instruct. The last converea-
tion she had that anyone except Spenc-
or heard was of the tango.
Mrs. Rexroat is dead. Her three
boys are motherless. Allison, her first
husband grieves for her. So does
Rexroat.
Spencer, accused of the murder, is a
fugitive. If be is found there will be
an epilogue.
But the curtain has gone down on
the last act of the tragedy Of the tango.

Although the drug has been on the

habitual users are a yellow whiteness
of the face, a down-drawn, stupid
mouth, always elevated eyebrows and
