Conklin Fitch of Ludington was prepar-
ing to go to Chicago today, ready, he
said, to substantiate the story he told
here yesterday to representatives of the
states attorneys Office from Illinois. to
the effect that Leighton Mount, sup
posed to have been slain during a class
rush at Northwestern University In
1921, in reality had committed suicide.
Fitch's statement, made here yester-
day in the presence of the attorneys

cutting attorney of Mason county, is
said to have given as the basis for the
assertions the contents of a letter writ
ten by Mount to Doris Fuchs, girl
friend, and reports said to have been
stolen from the Burns detective agency.
Persuaded to Tell All.
Scant details of the statement were
revealed to the Associated Press by the
elder Fitch, who said he had persuaded
his son to tell all he knew" of the

of the alleged suicide because he de-
sired to spare the feelings of Mounts

According to the youths state
ment made to Assistant State Attor-
neys Charles L. Wharton and John

written by Mount to Miss Fuchs con-
tained a threat of suicide. while the
reports of the Burns agency were
said to have contained Information
that Mount, two days before his dis
appearance. had transferred all of his
money to the affianced husband of his
sister Helen. Fitch is declared to
have explained the presence of
der a pier at Evanston, and virtually
identified as that of Mount, by say
ing Mount had placed a rope around
his waist before entering the class
rush a few hours before his disap-
pearance.
Disp1eased by Suit.
The younger Fitch yesterday ex-
pressed displeasure when he learned
that his father had begun suit for
$4,000 each against Attorneys Whar-
ton and Sbarbaro, as representatives
Cook county. Ill. Damages are
asked in connection with the alleged
grilling for forty-eight hours OF the
local prosecuting attorneys son while
he was being questioned in Chicago
recently in connection with the
Mount case. The father alleges third
degree methods were used.
The younger Fitch declared he re-
earded the two attorneys from Chi
cago as his friends and said he re-
gretted the filling of the suits.
The papers in the suits were served
on the attorneys as the conference

Daily Mail Hopes Mrs. Philipson
Will Not Too Much Infict
Nursery Despotism."
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 2.-Commenting on
the election to the house of commons
of Mrs. Hilton Philipson, who was
formerly Miss Mabel Russell. musi-
cal comedy actress, the Daily Mail to-
day expresses the hope that unlike
Lady Astor and Mrs. Margaret Win
tringham, Mrs. Philipson will not be
too much inclined to introduce, the
despotism of the nursery into our af-
fairs
The newspapers that most strongly
champion the presence of women In
parliament regret that Mrs. Philipson,
like the other two woman NJ. P.s, was
chosen merely as a successor to her
husband, instead Of on her own merits.
The Westminster Gazette admits
that Lady Astor and Mrs. Margaret
Wintringham have shown they are
entitled to seats by their own quail
fications, and Is willing to believe the
new member will do likewise. but
adds that her election introduces a
ridiculous element into a serious
problem. and has weakened the case
for the choice of women.
THE Daily News similarly wishes
some constituency would have the
courage to return a woman on her
own merits, not because she was
somebody's wife. Until that hap
pens" asserts the newspaper, the sex
barrier which has hitherto excluded
women from their rightful place in
public affairs will not really be
broken down."

the verdict had been returned, and
cited as an error of the court in the
motion for a new trial
Each of'the convicted men learned
his fate with the same sangfroid that
characterized his alleged operations /
The silence of the courtroom was
broken only by the voice of Judge
Dunklee. Wives, sweethearts and
other relatives scattered among the
spectators wept silently
The only attempt at a demonstra-
tion was when Judge Dunkiee finish
ed reading his decision overruling the
motion for a new trial. Some one
started to applaud, but was cut short
by the court.
Judge Dunklee allowed the con-
victed men sixty days in which to
prepare their appeals to the supreme
court. They are to remain in jail
pending disposal of the case.
