: Policeman Says.

Detroit July 25.-Clothing contained
in the trunk in which the body of a
woman was shipped from Detroit to
New York was positively identified to-
night as having been the property of
Mrs. E. Leroy, according to detectives
assigned to the case. Patrolman Leo
Trumbull, a member of the Detroit
force and also close personal friend
of the Leroys, was said to have made
the identification.
Trumbull also stated that Mrs. Leo
roy was formerly Miss Katherine Jack
son, Southern girl, and that she and
her husband lived at 105 Harper ave-
nue., Detroit, the address given on the
shipping bills of the trunk.
Trumbull will be sent to Chicago, if
was announced, to assist in the identi-
fication Of a man who gave his name
as Roy Millen, and who is believed
by the Chicago police to answer to
the description of Leroy.

fear that "E. Leroy" would take ven
geance upon him for his statements
made to the police here and tclc-
graphcd to Detroit in connection with
The trunk murder mystery, Allen A.
Tatum insisted upon remaining at po
llcc headquarters throughout last
night and today. He repeated his as
Sertlons that he believed the murdered
woman to be Katherine jackson, of
Starkvillc, Miss, but denied connection
with the crime.
According to Tatum's story he last
saw the jackson woman about June
a or 5 in Detroit. He had heard she
was Ill, he said, and she had repeated
~ told him her husband was Jealous
OF her, he decided it was advisable for
him to return to Birmingham. Tatum
said he had known the woman in this
city before she went to Detroit and
that he had gone there to see her at
her invitation and had lent her sums
of money.
No charge has been placed against
Tatum here and although he is at
liberty to leave police headquarters
ne has insisted upon remaining there,
as he says his life may be in danger.
One statement attributed to Tatum
caused the police to doubt his story
was that he had received a letter from
the jackson woman dated June 26.
If this is true, it was pointed out,

the murder victim could not be the
jackson woman, as labels upon the
trunk indicated it had been shipped
from Detroit June 10.
Tatum had been working, for a
publishing house here since his return
to birmingham, about the middle of
June. Friends who saw the name of
Tatum in news dispatches telling about
the murder mentioned this to the lat
ter. Rumors that he was the man
referred to in the dispatches began
to spread and Tatum then visited DO
lice headquarters.
He told the police he went to De-
troit early in May and saw the Jack
son woman several times. She told
him, he said, that she had married a
man named "E. Leroy" and that her
husband was insancly jealous of her
Tatum said he had never met LEROY
He expressed the opinion that the lat
ter must have heard Of his attentions
to his wife and then killed her and
shipped the trunk to "A. A. Tatum" to
get revenge.
The Birmingham police have placed
no charge against Tatum and it was
stated at Birmingham headquarters
that nothing further would be done in
the case pending instructions from
Detroit.

mitted, the dispatches said, that he
was acquainted with Eugene Leroy,
the name given by man who rented
an apartment at 105 Harper street,
Detroit, the address given by "Tatum'
on the trunk waybill. He said Leroy
was an automobile mechanic.
Met in June 1919.
Tatum first met Katherine Jackson
in Birmingham he said in June, 1919.
Following their meeting he visited her
several times twice in Detroit. Po-
lice, checking up on his statements,
have found that "Mrs. Katherine Jack
son, Nashville, was registered at the
Interurban Hotel here October 80,
1919. Tatum said he again visited the
jackson woman here in June, 1920, at
another hotel, but never was at the
Harper avenue address. She told him
on that occasion he said that she was
married and that her husband was "ex
tremcly jealous"
According to Tatums story the wo-
man wrote to him every day or so. He
had last heard from her June or S, he
said, and gave that as his reason for
believing chat nothing had happened.

communicated with him. Tatum said
that he had sent the woman money on
one or two occasions.
Tatum, according to word received
from Birmingham, left Detroit June 28
Police were cndeavoring to check up
on his activities during his stay here.
He is said to have denied all knowl-
edge Of the crime and indicated he was
willing to come to Detroit to assist
in clearing up the mystery.

WAR MYSTERY" MADE CLEAR
Men on the LeViathan Now Under

Them in Smoking.

Men who sailed on the Leviathan
when she was being used as a trans
port will learn with interest the ex-
PLANTATION of Il mystery" Of the giant
liner in those war days, a mystery
which has been the subject of many
midnight conference in the lee of the
deckhOuse. Only recently a former
officer of the Leviathan told the story.
1t appears that several of the crew
sought a lower hold far from the
haunts of the officers On duty and
there, believing themselves carefully
concealed, they smoked to their hearts
content. But the ship had a fire de-
lection system consisting Of a series Of
pipes to the holds, through which a
suction fan is continually drawing air
samples to the wheelhOuse. Thus the
officer on duty there noticed the curl
ing wisps of smoke coming out Of the
pipe from one of the lower holds.
Shifting the smoke he detected the old
familiar OdOr of tobacco.
1t was an easy matter to hurry
down and catch the men in the act
and start them on a round of extra
duty, which cured them of smoking
aboard ship. They were puzzled to
know how the officer had traced them.
The hold was way down near the keel,
far from the wheelhOuse and there had
not been another man within many
yards of their position. They knew
no officer had followed them and they
took it for granted that there was no
direct connection between the hold
and the wheeIhOuse. And no one en-
lighteled them during many trips to

Windmill Generates Enetrieitv

The windmill has not been general

of electricity because of the irregular
ity of the air currents, but this has
been overcome by a Swedish inventor.
Instead of being directly connected
to the dynamo in the usual manner,
the mill-wheeL shaft is geared to a
hosting device, which serves to ele-

53-foot steel and wood tower. When
the weight reaches the maximum
height, it is released, and, as it falls,
actuates the dynamo, which is mount
ed on a bracket az the apex of the
tower with the mill wheel. A storage
battery and switchboard are housed in
the lower portion of the tower.
