BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
DETROIT, July ga statement to
the police by Mrs Leo Trumbull. wife
of a patrolman, that Mrs. Eugene
Leroy. victim Of Detroits trunk muir
der mystery, had confided in her that
she was about to become a mother,
injected a new theory into the case
today.
Police today divided their attention
between a hunt for Leroy husband of
the slain woman, and second trunk
believed to contain the vital organs
of the body, and which is known to
have been sent from the Harper Ave
nue. apartment house where the Lee
roys lived.
Police believe that examination of
the organs might reveal whether
death was due to a criminal operation,
as has been limited since Mrs. Trum-
bull made her statement. 1t was
Patrolman and Mrs. Trumbull who
identified the victim through clothing
found in the trunk.
Apartment Death Chamber.
Mrs. Trumbull was to go to New
York today to view the body. The
police declared today they had estab-
lished that Mrs. Leroy planned an at
tempt at suicide before her death
That Mrs. Leroy had occupied rooms
in the Harper avenue apartment house
was conclusively proven today. ac-
cording to the police, who found there
blankets identical with those in
which the body was wrapped before
it was placed in the trunk. Another
blanket has not been accounted for
and police believe the vital organs of
the body were placed in it and put in
the, second trunk. A call has been
sent to every express Office in the
baggage. in an effort to locate the
second trunk.
Mrs. Leroy had planned several
times to leave her husband, Mrs.
Trumbull told the police, but was de-
tered by the fear that Leroy might
use violence. On one occasion, Mrs
Trumbull said, Mrs. Leroy told her
her husband had brought home a dag
ger.
Il would leave him tomorrow, but
am afraid he would kill me-" Mrs.
Trumbull said the woman told her.
Several days later the two women
were on a shopping tour when, ac-
cording to Mrs. Trumbull, Mrs. LIE Roy
bought quantity of chlorofor1n. She
heard that Mrs. LIE Row attempted to
take her life that night.

CooIidge's Nomination ":Spon-
taneous Wish of the
Party"

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, July 81
This nomination is rendered you as
the spontaneous wish of your party
said Gov. Edwin p. Morrow of Ken
lucky, principal speaker at the cere-
monies attending the notification here
today of Gov. Calvin Coolidge of his
nomination as candidate of the re-
publican party for Vice President.
The west called to the east" Gov.
Morrow said: north and south heard
the call and the nation made answer"
Gov. Morrow attacked the demo-
cratic national administration for
what he termed it's hesitation, blum
dering and stubbornness and called
the league of nations an attempt to
bind the United States to the bloody
feuds of Europe.
Grave Conditions mt Home.
ut is fitting Mr. Morrow said,
that in Massachusetts, at this foun-
tain of American inspiration, We
solemnly determine that the heritage
which made us free. independent and
prosperous shall not be bartered for
mess of unknown pottage."
You are called to serve your coun-
try in time of your countrys need"
Gov Morrow continued at home
grave economic, Industrial. social and
governmental problems have too long
in the past and now continue to
press for and demand solution, and
upon their proper solution depends
the prosperity. security. commercial
and financial welfare of our people,
But confronted at home with high
duties and most serious responsible
ties. the present national admins
tration, intrusted with the great
powers of government, has halted and
hesitated and Numbered, while it bent
all of its stubborn energies upon the
task of fastening upon our country
all of 1.-The ilfs of the world. The
President and all those who in the
past have bowed to his will. and he
whom he has covered with his man
tie. committed to his policies, and
whom he now seeks to place in his
stead, have for more than a year and
are now seeking to strip US of our
nationalism by clothing the nation in
the multi-colored garments of inter-
ereignty-and so, through league
of nations. to bind us to the blood
feuds of Europe. to make us the
guarantors of shifting, vanishing
boundary lines to the ends of earth,
and to involve us in the greed and
strife and confusion of the old world"
Leader Has Spoken Clearly.
In such a time and with such is
sues. confronting the country. Gov.
Morrow asserted, Gov. Coolidge is
confidently called upon to serve with
a leader who has spoken clearly,
bravely and convincingly."
His voice rings out now like
bugle through the land he said. I'VE
now await your message, convinced
that it will be in full accord with the
time-honored. time-proven policies of
the republican party and that it will
proclaim our party's principles of
service to the nation and it's people.
When you have spoken, America will
know that captain and mate have
turned the old ship of state from her
wanderings-home, to the needs of
the hour-home. to keep all and to
save all that the past gave and
which the future promises-home, to
solve our problems here and to full

A Real Citizens

When Robert C. Smith, for
many years editor and proprie-
tor Of the Snowflake Herald,
passed away recently, northern
Arizona lost one of her most
distinguished citizens.
Mr.. Smith was one of the lead
ers of the Republican party OF
northern Arizona and served as
secretary Of the Republican
County Central Committee of
Navajo county at the time of
his death. He was a big, broad
minded fellow who loved Ari-
zona and did his part to make it
a good state in which to live.
He came to the state in early
childhood with his parents, from
Utah, and ever since attaining
manhood had been closely iden-
tilted with the growth of Navajo
county. He served several terms
as probate judge of the county
in territorial days, and upon re-
tirement from public office es-
tablished the Snowflake Herald,
which he edited with a marked
ability up to the time of his
death.
Rob Smith, as he was affec-
tionatelv called by all of his
friends all over the state. was a
man of sterling qualities, a high
type of citizen, a close student
Of human nature and affairs, a
dear friend and a devoted hus-
band and father. Men like RoE
Smith have made Arizona what
it is today. Tucson Citizen.
