IDENTIFY WOMAN FOUND
FLOATING IN RIVER
Detroit Police Baff1ed Over Death of
Mrs. Caille-No Marks Of
Violence.

DETROIT, Mich, August 10.-The
body of an extensively gowned woman
found floating yesterday in the Detroit
river near Wyandotte, a suburb, was
identified today as that of Mrs. Mar
garet Caille, former wife of a. Detroit
motor manufacturer.
Except for information that Mrs.
Caille went automobile riding Sunday
with two women. police were without a
clue as to how she came to her death.
The body was identified by the
woman's divorced husband and by a
son. That it was placed in the water
after death is indicated by the fact that
there was no water in the lungs, police
say. Diamond rings valued at $4,000
were found on the fingers.
Authorities are searching for the
women with whom Mrs Cable went rid
ing. believing they might throw some
light on the mystery.
There were no marks of violence upon
the body.

ATTORNEYPR0BES
CAMPBELL'S STORY
Investigation of Alleged Con.
fession of Assault Con-
.... tinues in Secret.

| Assistant United States Attorney
Cromelin continued today his investiga-
ton into the confession Of William H.
Campbell, colored, twenty-five years
old, in connection with an assault on
Mrs. Bessie Gleason and an attempt to
assault Louise Simmons, colored school
teacher.
Mr.. Cromelin declined to give out the
results of the inquiry, especially whether
the victims had identified Campbell.
Both the women were at the district
attorneys Office again today. Campbell
was again cross-examined by Mr.
Cromelin.
Details PROSTATE Mrs. Gleason.
Campbell was taken to the Takoma
woods yesterday afternoon, and is said
to have enacted the assault. Mrs
Gleason was present, it is stated, and
became hysterical at the narration of
the details.
Until he submits his report to Mr.
Laskey the assistant prosecutor will
not divulge anything in the case.
Every Detail in Confession.
The district attorney yesterday aft
ernoon received from Maj. Gessford,
superintendent of police, forty-one
made by Campbell. Not only does it
contain every detail of the murder of
Mrs. Mann, it is said, but tells of
Campbells confession of the numer-
Gus assaults, burglaries and pocket
book snatchings he says he commit
ted.
Members of the police force, dis
cussing the confession and the pris-
oner's reported identification of Mrs.
Gleason. said it was significant that
in every report of assaults commit ed
during the period between early June
and the middle of July, last year, the
assailant was described as wearing a
blue serge suit and dark cap and
having a soft voice. Campbell was
wearing such clothes when placed
under arrest and his voice. the police
stated, is particularly soft
Police Sure of Campbell.
Statements of the prisoner tell of
no assaults on women after the murder
Of Mrs. Mann. Campbell told the po-
lice he contented himself robbine
houses after that time. The police feel
certain that Campbell, and not Louis
Randall, who has been convicted of the
crime, assaulted Mrs. Gleason and Miss
Simmons. and that he assaulted Miss
Mary Saunders, for which offense For
est Eaglan is serving a sentence of
twenty years In the Maryland peni-
Tertiary.
Forest Eaglan is reported to have
sepeated his denials of the assault on
Miss Saunders, the denial coming
from the Maryland state prison. RAN
dali knows nothing of what is trans
piring in this city, SO far as the po-
lice have been advised. Before going
to the federal prison to serve forty
five years, he expressed himself as
feeling confident the truth of the as
sault would become known before he
had served much of his sentence.

UNWILLING TO PUBLISH
LIST OF DRAFT EVADERS
Secretary Baker Thinks Some
Among the 10000 Scheduled
Are Innocent of Charge.

Secretary Baker is considering the
problem of how to avoid publication
of the names of about 171.000 draft
evaders and at the same time get the
desired information regarding inno-
cent individuals included in that cate
CORY. He said he seriously doubts
the justice Of publishing all these
names as draft evaders or deserters
when further investigation may show
that the list as now made up carries
the names of innocent men, men who
have died. others who failed to re-
ceive their draft notices, illiterates
who failed to understand the opera
ton of the selective draft, and still
others who actually saw service, but
whose names still remain on the list

Ito stigmatize an innocent man. But
once his name is published as a de-
serter or a Stacker it will be almost
impossible to correct that statement,

ton
