man on Auto Ride.

That Fred Kendall and the wo-
man who claims to be his wife at
tempted to drag her into the plot
to extort $500 hush money" from
E. a. Horrigan, Davenport under
taker, was the statement made to
the Davenport police Saturday aft
ernoon by Mrs. Maud Rico, wife of
Richard Rico, who is held as one
of the blackmail gang.
Mrs. Rico, just turned 16 years
old, petite and pretty, told her
story in a straightforward, open
way which proved beyond doubt
that she was not implicated in the
plot.
At the time Mrs. Kendall made
proposals to her, Mrs. Rico did not
know of the plot which was then
in the forming. But she refused
to be entangled in any way.
MRS. Rico's statement to the po-
lice, made in the presence of Lieu
tenant Frank ]. Lew and several
detectives, follows:
Mrs. RicO's Story.
my name is Mrs. Maud Rico, age
16. 1 live at S02 IL East River
street with my parents. 1 am the
wife of Richard Rico. I was mar
ried to him Oct. Is, 1917, in Rock
Island. 1 did not get along with
him since we were married. He
has been hateful and jealous. 1 liv-
ed with him until Oct 10, 1918. I
have applied for a divorce.

"a few days later | went to Mr..
Kendall's house for my clothes and
Mr.. Horrigan came while 1 was
there. 1 was coming to Davenport
and my sister, Mrs. Kendall, asked
me to wait and hear what Mr.. Hor-
rigan had to say about the bill for
the funeral.
Acts a Gentleman.
Il waited and Mr.. Horrigan said
l could ride to Davenport with him
If had no objection. I rode down
to Davenport with him in his auto,
and got out at Third and Brady
streets. He treated me like a
gentleman on the way to Daven-
port, and made no indecent re-
marks or suggestions.
81 have not seen Mr.. Horrigan
or been in his company since, and
he has never asked me to go out
at any time With him and 1 never
had anything to do with him at any
time.
Il have been doing homework
for Mrs. Dolly Stapleton, ia 1-2

weeks. Last Saturday, Feb. s,

Murderer DiSarmed.
The two men grappled and Mar
shall, who is a husky giant, soon
overpowered his weaker and older
assailant. After administering a
severe beating, Marshall forced
Parker to accompany him up town
and there turned him over to the
city marshal.
Coroner Clarence Ebert of Scott
county investigated the shooting
and secured statements from the
witnesses. A postmortem may be
held today over the murdered
woman put it is hardly probable
that an inquest will be held.
