HUNT SLAYER OF
DETROIT WIFE
Nation Wide Search Is Now
Under Way for Eugene
Leroy, Her Husband

Detroit, Mlch.-Search for Eugene
Leroy, whose wife's muJilatei BODY
was found Jammed in a trunk ship
ped from Detroit to New York, as
sumed nationwide proportions. Po-
lice In every large city OF thz coun-
try were asked TO aid in the search
after PaJrolman Leo TrumDuL OF the
Detroit Police Department nau fail
ed TO identify man giving the
name or Roy Millen and held by
Chicago authorities pending lnvesu
cation, as Leroy. The man then
was freed.
That jealousy and revenge played
part il the Supposed murder is
the reported contention OF Allen A.
Tatum, now in Birmingham. Ala.
and who told police there he knew
Mrs. Leroy intimately in Detroit
several months ago. Tatum's name
was written on the trunk that CON
ta1ned the murdered woman's body.
He expressed the belief, it is said.
that Leroy may have killed his wife
through llousy when he learned
that she had been in Tatum's com.
pany and that Tatum's name was
used on the trunk with revenge as
the motive.
A second trunk believed to have
been sent TO New York and thought
to contain the vital organs of the
murdered woman is being sought.
Positive identification of the dead
woman was established, the police
say, by Patrolman and Mrs. Trum-
bull and others, who recognized
clothing found in the trunk with the
body as having belonged to Mrs. Le-
roy. A sweater which Mrs. Trum-
bull once had borrowed was among
the clothing.

Washington. - Additional informa

acter Of the Anglo-French agreement
for cooperation in the development
and handling of oil supply of various
British and French colonies and else
where indicates that no monopoly de-
signed TO shut out the United States

by the agreement. Inquiry at the
British embassy concerning the agree
ment brought a rather direct intima-
tion that there would be little doubt
that Great Britain would welcome an
agreement with the United States
based on principles similar to those
embodied in the Anglo-French com
pact.
In other words, the British govern
ment, and presumably the French
government, would take kindly to a
suggestion that the United States Join
with them in joint development OF
oil properties throughout the world
and in joint distribution of the pro
duct among British French and Amer
dean concerns.
