FRIGHT IN QUAKE
LEADS TO DEATH
Man Commits Suicide During
Light Earth Shock.

Los ANGELES. Cal, July 27.--The
death Of one man is due indirectly today
TO the extremely light earthquake shock
which was felt here shortly after mid
night last night.
When the trembler, which was brief
registered here, A. NJ Brewer, 43, was
so badly frightened that he leaped from
bed at his home, grabbed a revolver and
dashed out OF doors in his night clothes
He leaped over a high board fence
crawled beneath a Palm tree and shot
himself through the heart dying almost
instantly.
Drills 1. Kennedy, earthquake expert Of
San Bernardino and the pan whose
trembler predictions hsve been borne out
by actual occurrences, said today.
"There is no Danger In the recurrent
tremblera.
II shall use my private predictions and
my study until I make the earthquake

the fear Of the eclipse has been dis

WOMAN'S STORY
PUTS DOUBT ON
MURDER CAUSE
Says Supposed Victim Con.
fided Mother Hopes Just
Before Disappearance.

DETROIT, Mich, July 27.-Tangled
threads OF circumstances gathered from
all over the United States In the Detroit
New York murder trunk mystery, have
served only to add confusion to the most
battling case ever faced by the Detroit
police department, Police COMMISSIONS
James W Inches admitted today
Photographs OF Kate Jackson received
here by police today from Birmingham
were identified positively by Patrolman
TrumbelI as those Of Mrs. Leroy.
Detective John p. Smith has been sent
to Birmingham, Ala. to bring back A. 4.
Tatum, friend Of Mrs. Leroy, for ques-
tioning by local authorities.
Beginning with only one fact-that
the body Of a murdered woman had been
shipped from this city some time in June
the homicide squad by personal in
vestiga ton and wire dispatches from
dozen police departments, have identified
the murdered woman as Mrs. Katherine
Jackson Leroy, and the murderer as
Eugene Leroy, her husband TO their own
satisfaction.
A motive for the murder. where and
when end how Il was committed and how
the missing vital organs were disposed
Of are mysteries still unsolved and fur
Their complicated by collecting clews.
Due TO the widespread publicity being
given the mystery police last night and
today received dozens Of kilograms re-
garding the murdered woman and Leroy
and discovered two men who formerly
worked with Leroy in Detroit automobile
factories.
CLEARS AND
MUDDLEs THEORIES.
Information thus obtained alternately
cleared and muddled existing theories
and surmlses.
Just before leaving for New York TO
clear up all possible doubt that the muir
dered woman was Katherine Jackson
Leroy. Mrs. Marie Trulnbull. friend OF
Mrs. Leroy, is said to have told Police
that on June l Miss Leroy conhded IN
her that she was to become mother.
Due to Mrs Trumbulls revelation the
theory that the woman died az result
Of a criminal operation and was disem-
boweled and chopped to hide the crime
gained strength.
At the same time, information received
from Fred Stockmore. who worked with
Leroy at the Disco Company, and other
information by Mrs. Trumbun, tended to
give more crcdence 60 the theory that the
husband had killed Mrs. Leroy In jeal-
Gus rage when he believed she was about
to return TO Alabama with Allan a.
Tatum, 4 former sweetheart.
According to Stockmore, Leroy told him
that his home was In New York city, that
he had a wife and two-year- r-old child
there, and that bis father formerly had
teen a wholesale liquor dealer.
TELLS OF
LEROY's BOAST.
Stockmore says he talked always to
Leroy in Yiddish and that Leroy had
boasted he was living with a woman not
his wife here.
Leroy's surgical knowledge was appar-
emily explained when Stockmore said Le-
roy had told him he served In the medi-
cal branch of the navy during the war

Into Dairy Wagon

pany car crashed into Polk Milk Com
pany wagon standing on the tracks in
front of 558 Massachusetts avenue, at

left were the front wheels.
Both horses were knocked down and
one was badly cut.
Raymond Adams, 1889 Cornell avenue,
driver for the milk company, was not in
the wagon at the time of the accident.
II. c. Johnson, 263 North Warman ave-
nue. motorman OF the interurban car, told

after he had set his brakes.

While these major engagements were
being fought numerous individual battles
we're fought by drivers, who, racing
their taxieabs hub to hub. emptied their
pistols at each other at close range.
The battle started in a bit OF fist Skin
mishing in which two south side drivers
Of the rival concerns were engaged.
The engagement then moved to the
west side sector and became general.
The first powder action began when
