Farmhand's Murder Leads to
Near Solution of Family
Deaths Five Years Ago.

MIDDLETOWN. Conn. May a.
Emil Schultz. wealthy farmer o
Haddam, a town about nine mils,
south Of this city. sits in the eel
OF the county jail with the shadow
OF four ghasty murders hanging
over him.
CHARGE VICTIMS BURIED.
The authorities believe he killed
one of his employees, Dennis Leduc,
on April 26, and then burned the body
to q mass of crumbling bones in a
lonely wood about a mile from his
house,.
1t is also believed that he first kill
cd Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Ball and their
son and then set fire to their home on
December 10, 1915. The motives for
both crimes was revenge.
Leduc was q French Canadian
woodman. He disappeared on Tues
day. April 26. On the same night a
forest fire was started on part of
Schutte's farm a mile from his farm
In a dense underbrush-
There was some suspicion at the
time that something had happened to
Leduc. but IL is doubtful IL the facts
now In the hands of the authorities
about Leduc and about the Ball trag-
edy would have been disclosed but for
an assault made by Schultz upon his
wife on Wednesday last.
DROVE WIFE FROM HOME
On that day he drove her from the
house and followed with a loaded re-
yolver. She fled to her son, Walter,
who lives about 200 yards away.
Walter heard his mothers screams
and. grabbing a shotgun. rushed to
her aid. He saw his father approach
ing with the revolver. He hred his
shotgun. aiming over the mans head.
This halted the farmer.
Late that evening Schultz was ar
rested upon the charge of assault
with intent to murder and Is held In
default OF $4,000 bail.
1t was when the officials began to
question Schutte's family that they
became suspicious.
Not only have the authorities solved
the Ball mystery. but It Is thought
they have discovered the person re-
sponsible for several barn burnings.
They believe Schultz took this means
Of getting revenge upon all who op-
posed him
Schultz VERY RICH.
Schultz came to Killingworth from
New York thirty years ago. He Is
very rich and owns farm OF 1000
acres and much other property.
The Ball tragedy stirred the
country more than Ave years ago.
The facts gathered by the detectives
show that the Ball house was set
on fre. Bundles of shavings were
soaked with kerosene and placed
against two doors and set on FIRE.
The murderer, who Is believed by
the officials to be Schultz, then
stood outside the third door. When
the Ball family were aroused by the
smoke and rushed out he shot them
down, mother. son and father and
then pulled their bodies back into
the burning building.
TOWN Is AROUSED.
His motive for this crime Is be-
lieved to have been in revenge for
some slight cause.
As constable he had arrested
Ball and Balls boy got back at
Schultz by calling after him and
making offensive gestures.
The entire community is stirred
by the crime because OF the position
OF Schultz. A year ago he was ar
rested and fined 500 for profiteering
in sugar. He had extensive business
connections in this city.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., June G.
Boxing gloves were laid on the shelf

was ordered by Jack Kearns. manager
of the champion, on the advice of a
physician, who took a stitch to close
the wound last night.
Dempsey probably will not be al
lowed to pull on the gloves for four
or five days. but he will continue his
road work bag punching, shadow box

the championship match with Georges
Carpenter less than four weeks away,

doubt would result if boxing continu-

The cut was first opened ten days

nicely during the four days Dempsey
laid off last week, but was ripped
open yesterday when Larry Williams,
in awkwardly attempting to evade a
right hand punch, butted the cha m

profusely, and Dempsey's face was a

punching six of seven hits in three
six runs and the game against the
Springfield All Stars at Exhibition
park Sunday afternoon by the score
of 8 to 1. The game was the best ex
hibition of the national pastime seen
on the local diamond this season.
The Springfield organization was a
we'll balanced team and displayed
some very good baseball during the
contest. The score might have been
different had not Fenlon, their catcher
been forced to retire from the game
midjudged one of Jackson's foolers
that tore his finger nail loose, causing
him to retire.
This accident shifted the lineup con
siderably, and the visitors did not play
as consistent ball After Fenlon's re
tirement there punch seemed to be
gone.
Tight Playing Feature.
Both teams started playing air tight
ball. Springfield started the scoring
by putting one over in the first frame
Miller led off with triple to right
center that rolled to the fence. Hen
mig drew a pass and on the double
steal Knight threw the ball into center
field allowing Miller to score. After
the first round Hawekotte held the
visitors safely.
Hawekotte hurled a nice game al
though he was inclined to be rather
wild allowing five men to reach first
on free tickets. He also famed five
men and was given sersa tional sup
port in the field.
Jackson also pitched we'll but er
rors by his team mates proved his
downfall. An error by Miller in the

he worked, retiring in the seventh
frame.

The fielding of Justice, centerfield

Jim CORBETT DANCED
HIS WAY TO CROWN

The pugilistic crown first won by
John l.. Sullivan passed to the head
of James j. Corhett on September I,
1892. in the twcntv-frst round # their
championship fight in New Orleans,
Corbett had lot of fun winning the
fight and the S45. 900 that went with it.
He lowered three inches above the
champion and continually smiled down
at Sullivan in a most annoying man
ner.
Corbett had been a bank clerk be
fore taking the ring seriously, anG
the fans and newspaper correspond
ents delighted in sailing their amaze
ment at him speed with remarks OF
his dancing master tactics, as they
were called.
These dancing master tactics eluded
the powerful Sullivan, however, and
enabled Corbett to pick many open
ings for his attack.
AS the battle spun along toward its
end, the Californian forced Sullivan
to take the defense. He had the cham
pion draped over the ropes when the
bell rang at the end of the twelfth
round. In the next round, Sullivan
beaten down by smashing right and
lefts, tried hard to regain his feet and
carry on. but his strength was not
equal to his will and he was counted
out.
Ring enthusiasts went to New Or
leans from all parts of the country to
see the fight. Others came from Mex
leo and Canada. 1t was the greatest
ring battle in the public mind that had
ever been staged and good seats were
cold for IS dollars and more.

BY FRANK C.. NENKE


It would seem that the New Jersey
politicians are all prepared" to shake,
rattle and roll Tex Richard for about
every dollar that it's possible to make
out of the Dempsey-Carpentier fracas.
Richard may gross a cleanup of
$250,00O to $500,000-but he'll be ex-
tremely fortunate if he escapes with
his dear old shirt after dealing with
the political clique in the land of mos
quitoes.
One eminent sample is this:
When Richard was granted guberna-
torlal sanction to stage the affair in
Jersey he forthwith gave the Job of
building the arena to the brothers of
the present governor of New Jersey.
Do you think Richard gave them the
Job because they are the greatest and
most economical builders in the world
Or because of another because?
100000 High Enough.
The earliest reports stated that
Rickard was going to pay the brothers
of the governor exactly 100000 for
their work. They seemed quite con-
tented with the offering-as well they
should be for other builders who have
studied the plans reckon that the place
could be built a whole lot cheaper
While the Edwards boys were work
ing on the place, they read somewhere
in the papers that the advance sale of
! tickets for the fight might go well be-
yond S1,oo0.000 and that Richard stood
! to clean up a gross profit of around
100000. What did the Edwards boys
No NJ
port, than to decide that the building
100000.
So, says inside information, they
! have whopped up this building price
demand to 100000
Some Problem.
What's Richard going to do? If he
tells the Edwards boys to take a long
running jump into the deepest Jersey
sWamp-as the case justifies-and
tries to get some other builder to com
plete the job. what do you think the
sovernor-brother of those boys will do
TO Rickardo
Al the moment this is being written.
| Richard has not received a permit for
the tight. Without one he cannot
stage the Walloping tid-bit. Why the
delay in granting the permit? Wasn't
Richard informed weeks ago that he
could put on the show in Jersey? Sure
he was, And hasn't he gone ahead
and started work on the arena and
sold tickets for the fight. Yet he
hasn't received his permit.
Can you imagine how this might
worry Rickard-and to what extremes
Richard or any other person similarly
! situated would go to get such delay
ed permit Oh. yes, the Boxing Com.
mission has declared it will give Rick
ard the permit in due time" But whv
the delay that can cause nothing but
annoyance and worry for the pro-
moter?
incidental Expense.
Nobody knows how much incidental
expense" Richard contracted while he
was dickering for the Jersey site. The
men behind in civic and state affairs
/ in Jersey knew that Richard wanted to
put on the fight there and that he'd
bid high for the privilege How high
did Richard bid in the matter of in
cidental expenses before he got con-
sent to use the f1atlands of New JERSEY
