LETTER WRITTEN BY
UNKNOWN LOCAL MAN
CAUSE OF TRAGEDY
Letter Filled With Love Now In
Hands Of Cincinnati Coroner Was
Mailed From Maysyille and Is
Thought Cause Of Double
Tragedy.

A letter written by some one In
Maysvile or Mason county and mailed
under a special delivery stamp from
the Maysville Post Office on last Sat
urday at noon, is thought to have been
the cause of the double tragedy in
Cincinnati a few days ago when Con
Guilfoyle killed his wife and then took
his own life.
] The letter came into the hands of
Coroner Bauer from a friend of Mr..
Guilfoyle by the name of Cook, who
said that Guilfoyle had given 1t to him
on Sunday and asked him to help de-
cipher 1t. The letter was written very
poorly and very hurriedly. Officials
are unable to learn whether the sig
nature is simply the letter "W" or
the name Joe"
1t is said Guilfoyle found the letter
at his wifes home on Saturday night
and opening 1t read it. On Monday
he is said to have shown his wife the
envelope and she is said to have torn
1t from his hand and chewed 1t up.
Friends and relatives contend that the
receipt of the letter is the cause of
the tragedy.
The letter as deciphered by Cincin-
natl officials follows:
"My Dear Una: Your letter was re-
ceived this morning. The reason |
was slow in writing was because |
had been away two days. Really, |
have been thinking that you do not
care for me emily to help you along. l
love you, Uno, and I want you to love
me and tell me that you love me. |
want to see you and will come down,
Una dear, If things are so that we can
meet. feel bad today, but as l have
few minutes I will send you these
few lines, sweetheart. / will come
Tuesday on early train. l will call
you from Newport. l want to take
you in my arms and hug you. I am
crazy, dear, to see you. Sweetheart, |
love you, but l don't think you love
me any"

AUTO RACES SCHEDULED
TO OFFER "RED FLOODED"
SPORT AT COMING FAIR

American sports are usually of a
vigorous, red blooded" variety, and
nothing appeals to the sons and daugh-
tiers of Uncle Sam" like contest
which calls for daring, skill and speed,
and in no game will be found more
perfect embodiment Of these assets
than in automobile racing of type
to be featured at the State Fair which
will be held in Louisville the week of
September S-13.
During the two final days of the
State Fair, racing events will be staged
on the fine oval of the race track in
front Of the grand stand and many
of the best-known stars of American
and foreign tracks will go after estab-
lished records with savagery which
is certain to result in surprising
changes in the sport-ledgers. During
the 1918 campaign many established
records were wiped out by Sig Rug
dahl, Fred Horey, Jules Ellingboe,
Leon Duray, Ray Lampkin and others
and it is expected that the contests
this year will develop new points and

delightful, stirring and sensational Of
feriDgs of the entire celebration.
Hughdahl, who was a sensation last
year with his famous Fiat Six, has

to be genuine whlrlwind now. AS an
example of its going quality 1t may be
said that on last Labor Day at Lin

old records being beaten several Sec
onds in each Instance. Horey has

be secretive and in which he promises
to confound his rivals.
Ellingboe remains faithful to his
famous "Wildcat" and will tool this
wonder at the Fair. Duray has jump
ed to the Case racing outfit in place Of
George Clark, and Lambkin, who has
sold his "Sun-Ray," will blossom out
with an American instead of foreign
product.
