Chicago, July 9.--Police officials
announce today that continuance of
efforts by relatives of Lieut.. Clark
Wanderer to obtain his release from
custody will cause them to present
formal charges against him.
The coroner's inquest was held to-
day in an effort to identity the body
or the ragged stranger who. ac-
cording to the story told by Lieuten-
ant Wanderer was killed by him when
the unknown" shot Mrs. Wanderer.
Careful examination of his body in :

an ordinary tramp
The withdrawal of $1,000 from a
bank only two days previous to the
shooting drew new angle to the
case. Wanderer at first denied and
later admitted knowledge Of his wife's
withdrawal OF funds. He finally said
she planned to put the money in a
bank nearer to their home.
Coroner Peter Hoffman took per-
sonar charge Of the inquest today.
The coroner planned to re enact the
entire scene of the shooting, with
Wanderer representing his part

guns used In the shooting were his
property. may establish, the police
say that the ragged stranger was un-
armed.
Wanderer was taken to the office
or the states attorney at noon todoy
by a police sergeant. This Is the
second time the prisoner has been
questioned by the state officials. and
an entirely new statement will be
taken from him, 1t was said.
Twin Mysteries Puzzle.
Folice are puzzled by the twin
mysteries of the $1,000 Mrs. Wan
derer withdrew from the bank on the
afternoon of the day she was mur-
dered, and the gun Wanderer bor-
rowed from cousin on that same
day. but, after studying the case.
they admit the withdrawal OF the
money and borrowing of the gun
may have been coincidental, as
Wanderer maintains.
They are also anxious to under
stand why. with ten shots fired at
a range of less than three feet Wan
derer escaped unscathed, while both
his wife and the other man were
killed.
There is strong possibility that
Wanderer did all the shooting" Chief
OF Police GarrIty says. Sergeant
Norton is working on that theory as
well as a number Of others"
"Cne Of the features Of the case
which has shaken police confidence
that they are on the right track for
a solution is the attitude of the dead
woman's relatives and friends. All
remain loyal to Wanderer and insist
that not the slightest suspicion
should attach to him, that his story,
strange as 1t may seem, must be ac-
cepted verbatim as Karl wouldn't
tell q lie,"

Food in New York State.
BY Associated Press.
New York, July "a number of
modest little farms operated by
veterans of'the world war who have
recovered from shell shock, gas

most of them graduates of the New

Farmingdale, L. l., have been re
habilitated" and are now making
good as food producers with the
same enthusiasm that took thers
"over the top" in France.
The transformation of most of

cational Training in many cases has
beeen a complete metamorphsis OF

According to A. A. Johnson, d.
rector Of the school, there were 76
graduated. Director Johnson was
and q number Of these have since
graduated. Dorector Johnson was
lavish in his praise of what the
soldier farmers are accomplishing,
declaring that not only were they
doing their full share in the economic
program of their country but in a
good many cases, considerably more
than others less handicapped by
wounds" He said they were about
equally divided as farm tractor
mechanics. general farmers, poultry
raisers and hog breeders.
Archie A. Stone, former member of
the Minnesota legislature, who Is in
charge Of the work for the govern

the farm vocational training plan,
