CASE OF ELLA MONROE
Charged With Shooting to Death Eva
Gregory

Lexington. Ky, March 3G-When
the county court adjourned at Eliza
bethtown last night, much evidence
was still to be received in the case
against Ella Monroe, charged with
shooting to death Eva Gregory, Il
week ago.
Miss Monroe had heard her claims
apparently torn to pieces; had heard
witnesses tell how they followed the
trail made by the woman's shoes
which exactly fitted her tracks; how
these shoes had been found in closet
in the Monroe home. She heard her
hearts secret of love for Clarence
Quiggins, of Abingdon, Ill.,, laid bare
and did not finch.
Then, as the bloody clothing of the
young woman who had been her friend
was laid on the table, still there came
no move. Then there were brought
out letters, which were found in Miss
Gregory's clothing after her dead
body had been picked up from the
roadside. These letters bore the life
blood of Miss Gregory. But still Ell
la Monroe sat like stone. Not one
moment had she shown the least emo
tion.
The most damaging evidence
against the girl was offered by Mrs.
Mollic Finch, who swore she saw a
woman crossing the field in the di-
rection of the murder scene. Mrs.
Finch Swore this woman was of
small statue, and wore clothing which
Unidentified her in Mrs. Finch's mind
with Ella Monroe. This was half an
hour before Miss Gregory was shot.

PAIL MALL GAZETTE SOLD.
Lord Astor Disposes of White Ele
phant After Sinking Many
Millions.

London, March 30.-The premises
and plant of the "nall Mall Gazette" "
the London evening paper owned by
William Waldorf Astor (now Lord
Astor) for the past 20 years have
been sold at auction.
The sale marks the definite sever
ance Of Lord Astor, now that he has
been ennobled, from association with
the newspaper world. 1t also marks
the end of one of the most interesting
chapters in English journalism and,
incidentally, points the way by which
any other American millionaire, with
the desire-and unlimited dollars at
his disposal-may find the entree to
the British peerage,
When Mr.. Astor first came over
here from America and had decided
to become a naturalized British citi-
zen, one of the first steps he took was
to buy the "Pall Mall Gazette" the
London evening: paper, which Thack-
eray's words, was written by gentle
men for gentlemen" 1t was not in
tended as good financial invest
ment. Mr. .Astor's main idea was to
work himself into favor with the Tory
party.
Previously, under the editorship of
such famous men as Frederick Green
| wood, Lord Morley (then John Nor,
| ley), Lord Miner and W. T. Stead
the paper had followed more OF
less independent policy, but once un.
der the control of Mr.. Astor, it be-
came the most staunch supporter Of
aristocratic privilege and the old no.
bility.
The West End Clubs were delight
ed, and with the dinners and recep
tions the new proprietor gave at his
palatial house in Carlton House Ter
race. he soon became one of the mos
popular members of the Upper Ten
For fifteen years Mr.. Astor poured
dollars without stint into the Golfer
of the Pail Mall Gazette, In tn
period mentioned it is estimated tina
he spent altogether s1,50O,O00. Sine
the beginning of the war he has give
| $750,000 to war charities. Now h

fare which has no regard for the
rights of American citizens travelling
on merchant ships of belligerent ma
tionality, the administration eonsid-
ers, has created one of the most Sc
rious situations which has confronted
the United States since Sne beginning
of the war in Europe.
Every agency open to the State De-
partment last night was being en-
ploye in an effort to gather an uninl-
peachable array of facts regarding
the explosion which damaged the
British Channel steamer Sussex, the
sinking of the British ships Man.
chester Engineer, Englishman, Eagle
Point and the Dutch steamer Tub
anita, and the alleged firing OF a
torpedo at the French passenger ship
Parria. All of these ships carried
Americans, and all were apparently
attacked in violation Of Gernany's
recently renewed assurance to the
United States.
The next step of the United States
70 h.,Ua hnprN
determined upon. Unless Germany, in
reply to the inquiries made by the
United States through Ambassador
Gerard, makes some statement to
cause the State Department to change
its present intentions. it is 1derstood
that all the recent aggravating iNc''
dents will be combined into one gen.
eral formidable indictment which will
bring the entire subject to clear
cut issue.
Should Germany admit response
bility or any of the attacks and at
tempt to satisfy the United States
by saying that mistake had been
made, offer to make rcparation and
to punish the submarine commander.
the issue would not by any means be
disposed of. 1t is regarded as certain
that the United States would not ac-
cept such an explanation as satisfac-
tory, at least until time had shown
what punishment actually was met
ed out to the commander, and wheth-
ranv value longer could be attached
to Germany's promise.

PECK EMgALMER NOW SOUGHT
Undertaken, Under Questioning,
Makes One Admission.

New York, March 50.-District At
torney Edward Swami centered MS
efforts last night upon locating Eu-
gere Oliver Kane, who emhalmed the
BODY of John E. Peck, wealthy Grand
Eapids druggist, for whose RI ll:tier
his son-in-law, DR.. Arthur Warren
Waite, is under arrest here. i,ar'a's
arrest has been ordered on the charge
of conspiring to commit a crime,
Waite is said by Mr. Swami to have
declared that Kane had accepted $9,-
900 in cash and check for $9,400
as part payment of $4,000 he was
to be paid for swearing that he used
arsenic in embalming Peck's body.
Waite in statements to the district
attorney and others, is said to have
confessed not only poisoning Peck,
but placing germs of virulent diseases
in the food of Mrs. Peck, who died at
Waite's apartment six weeks before
her husband.
John S. Potter, the undertaken who
had charge of Peck's funeral and who
employed Kane as embalmer, was
examined yesterday afternoon and
last night at the District Attorneys
office. Potter reiterated denials that
he had any part in the alleged nego-
tiations between Kane and Waite ex-
cept to send Kane to the dentists ap-
artment when Waite desired to know
the formula of the embalming fluid
used on Peck's body. He did admit,
however, that he received letter
from Waite asking him and Kane
not to telephone him, as Waite be-
lieved his telephone wire had been
tapped and also telling him he need
not worry about his check.
Kane embalmed the body of Mrs.
Katherine Adams in the famous Moli-
neuX case and Potter was the under
taker who attended to the body of
William NJ. Rice, for whose death
Albert T. Patrick was tried.
Intellectual efforts were made by
Mrs. Margaret Weaver Horton.
Waite's friend, to obtain permission
to visit Waite at Bellevue Hospital.
In a letter to Waite she expressed
her sympathy and confidence in his
innocence.
