forth to seek his partner before the

Because ! wanted to-" replied Hol-
ton simply. "Oh, knew you thought

to wriggle out, but I'll show you l am
not at all bad"
She had already discovered that
fact. and. abandoning herself to the
sheer Joy Of the dance, relaxing slight
iy in his arms. she suffered herself to
be guided about the floor.
After the dance Holton led her to

CAUSES A
INABILITY TO WE'D MOTIVE
FOR AWFUL CRIME;
SHOOTS THREE

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 9-lnability
on the part of w. NJ. Melton, local
attorney, to keep his promise to mar
ry Mrs. Mary Graves Cox, of San
Francisco, is believed by the police
to be the cause of the triple tragedy
last night when the woman shot and
killed Helton, her daughter, and then
turned the revolver on herself.
Melton was already married and his
wife who was located today, identi-
fled the body as that of her husband.
Melton according to her story, lived
at home and was regarded by her and
her neighbors as model husband.
His frequent absences from home. she
believed, were due to business.
The police theory is that Mrs. Cox
only learned of Melton's wife yester-
day and in a fit of anger committed
the triple crime.
