One theory which has been advanced
for the brutal murder is that the wom-

was engaged in rum running" and.
had been killed when she refused to.
furnish further funds. No enemies
have been found, and Mrs. Sudow's
unusual trait Of keeping her own per
sonal affairs closely to herself have
handicapped the police investigation,
for no one has been found who could
tell when the woman left her home.
The young daughter who has in
herited her mothers entire fortune,
was kept at school and knew almost
nothing about her mothers personal
affairs.
AS the double life of the woman
has been gradually exposed, it was
learned that she was liberal glver
to charity, but that where she loaned
money her business instinct ruled, and
demanded prompt repayment at the
stated time.

BRIDEGROOM WAS
TOO WHITE FOR
HIS BRIDE

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, April IS
Authorities here are puzzled over the
case of Carl Johnson, whom they have
arrested On account of his marriage to
a woman OF very dark complexion.
Johnson, who was arrested at his
home, 5l4 Broadway, claims that he is a
''colored' man, although he is as lair as
the average Caucasian. His wife, Mrs.
Grace Henson Johnson, is OF a very dark
complexion.
Johnson, % years old applied for a
marriage license here three weeks ago.
He was denied it when the license clerk
noticed the contrasting difference in his
and his Wife's color. On April 9. the
two went to New Albany, where they
secured license and were married by
the Rev. +. Louis Raverty.
Several whites OF the city contend that
they know that Johnson is white, saying
further that they are acquainted with
white parents of his. In the meantime,
Johnson stolidly claims to be "colored.
The penalty in Indiana for intermar-
riage between the races is fine of $lQC
to $1,000, and a prison sentence from
to 10 years.
