NC LAUGHL|N OIL CO,
WORKING NEW LEASE
@
Will Begin Drilling Within Ten DAYS
On Or. Martin Forty South
west of Welsh

Mr.. c. Mclaughlin, president and
general manager of the Mclaughlin,
Oil Company was in town Saturday.
Mr.. Mclaughlin announces that his
company will for the present abandon
work on the holdings between Wood
lawn and Fenton, where they recently
tapped the earth to a depth of more
than three thousand feet in search of
Oil, and will move their rig to leases
which they have secured southwest of
Welsh. The rig is being moved this
week and will be set UP on forty
acre tract owned by DR.. C. A. Martin,
just west Of the Lacassine.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has considerable
confidence in the new location and is
closing up leases on adjacent tracts.
He says that statistics on wildcating
in Louisiana and Texas during the past
few months shows that one out of
three Of the strictly wild cat wells
have been successful producers.
Speaking of the rice business Mr..
Mclaughlin says that he is not pes
simistic in the least. Although the far
mers will suffer loss this year he
believes the industry will be back ON
a paying basis the coming season.
and with the proper marketing or
gani2ation will prosper continuously.
He will rent his land next year and de-
vote his entire time to the oil business.

The effort to secure the $1,000 for
rice will not be successful in the time
prescribed, nor is it probable that the
threat will be carried out literally,
though as for the hell" part, there
are many farmers who will testify
that it has already come to pass.
The trite saying, IF wishes were
horses, beggers would ride" applies
lin this case.
These BLACK Hand" missives were
thrown off No. one morning last
week. There were only two of them
seen, one falling into the hands of Mr..
Fritz and the other was picked up by
Will Gaines, the colored porter at the
depot These copies we're later turned
over to the bank and the mill.
The slip contained this wording:

over two months. He recalls once
when over 1000 Indians stopped in

Murder Laid
To jealousy


as they waived to him. He said this
attracted his attention. as it was not
customary TOR members of the. fashion
able colony to notice workmen.
Main continued down the road and
met James F. Brown, a farmer, Who
was driving wagon in the opposite
direction. Only about ten minutes
elapsed between the time that Main
passed Mrs. De Cordova and the time
that Brown reached the scene .Rnt
IN that time the double shooting had
taken place. Both Brown and Main
are uncertain whether, they heard
shots.
No Sign OF Struggle
A any rate, Brown sad he had no
apprehension when he approached the
scene. He saw Mrs, De Cordova living
IN the road. His first impression was
that she was asleep, since she was
seresched out on grass plot border
ing on the road. He next saw Cess
Ter twitching as he leaned over the
ton, Brown discovered that Mrs. De
Cordova had been shot twice near the
heart.
She evidently had been shot at close
range, as the first shot was within an
eighth Of an inch of the second. Cess
Ter had shot himself in the temple. Al
though he lived until s O'Clock this
morning, he never regained conscious
ness.
No evidence was found that Mrs. De
Cordova had struggled to defend her
self.
Mr.. De Cordova, on Yomoving the
body of his wife to-day, expressed a
desire that no autopsy be held. Coro-
ner Brown accordingly recorded the
tragedy as a murder and suicide. He
said he would hold an inquest tp-mor-
row. Mr.. De Cordova, on leaving for
New York. would say only: IL have
nothing to. say now. I may make a
statement later"
The only statement from the De
Cordova family came indirectly from
Mr.. Bauchle, who said:
When Mr.. De Cordova first heard
of the tragedy at his home in New
York he believed that his wife and her
chauffeur had been killed in an auto
mobile accident. He came here to take
back both bodies, but on learning of
the truth he determined to have moth
ing to do with the body of the MUIR
derer 1t was Mr.. De Cordova's idea
that Geissler was religious maniac.
"Geissler never made any threats,
but always was respectful and obedi-
ent to Mrs. De Cordova. I have
been told that he was seen practicing
with a revolver, but Of course 1 know
nothing about it.
"The theory of the family is. that
Mrs. De Cordova and the chauffeur
drove off the main road to pick some
flowers. The chauffeur was accustomed
to gather flowers for her."
Mrs. Geissler telephoned to the
morgue here to-day that she probably
would arrive tomorrow to make fu-
neral arrangements for her husband<
One theory which Prosecutor Hewitt
said had been suggested to him, but
which was unsupported by evidence,
was that both Mrs. De Cordova and
Geissler had been murdered by some
person unknown. 1t was pointed out
that robbery could not have been a
motive, because on Mrs. De Cordova' s
body was found pearl necklace with
diamond pendant and $50 in cash,
which she took when she started for
the ride.
Companions of Geissler at the Girls
void Hotel told Coroner Brown that
Geissler possessed strange personal

Bernard B. Geissler. the chauffeur

and then killed himself, quarreled with

of June, over the picture Of another
woman that she found In his pocket,

superintendent of the apartment house
where they lived, at 201 West Eighty
fourth Street. Mrs. Higgins said yes
terday that Geissler told her that and
showed bad scratches on his face.
Others in the building say they
heard Mrs. Geissler upbraiding her
husband and shouted their resentment
at the disturbance. Geissler left next
day and did not return. He was going
soon anyhow with the De Cordova
family to their summer quarters, but
need not have gone so soon. Mrs. Hig-
gins believes. She understands that
he and Mrs. Geissler had not been On
good terms since then, although Mrs
