Chicago, Sept. 30.--Interest in the

quest set for hearing at West Chicago.
Among the more important witness
es expected We're w. H. Allison, who
married the seventeen years
age and Everett A. Rexroat, the in
fatuated farmer Of Macomb McDon-
ough county, who married her last
spring within two weeks Of her di-
vorce from Allison. A warrant charg-
ing Rexroat with murder was sworn
out, but this was largely TO compel at
tendance at the inquest.
Mrs. Al!ison-Rexroat was murdered
at Wayne. a suburb OF this city where
many wealthy men have their country
homes, on Friday night last. She was
shot in the head, the body placed on
the railroad tracks and she was robbed
of jewelry and money Of the value Of
$4o0.
She was lured to the spot by a man,
descriptions of whom vary greatly from
tell n slender to short and stocky.
Her friends understood hat she was on
her way to Wheaton, by arrangement

she left home she carried a rattan suit
case. Neither the suit case, nor the
pistol with which the murder was COM
mitted has been found.
Allison before the inquest began to-
day, was taken into the room where
lay the mutilated body Of his former
wife and the mother of his three child
rem. He looked long and silently and
then burst into tears.
Rexroat was also subjected to the
same ordeal. Friends of Rexroat de-
