death of Leighton Mount, eight.
cen, freshman, who disappeared
during the class rush in Septen1-
Der, 1921, and whOse body was
found Monday under b pier at
Evanston, the States attorneys
office today was seeking Allen
Mills, a former student, now re-
ported to be in a California
prison.
Room Mate Gives Clue.
A yelled accusation against Mills
by William McEIwain, his former
room mate. was the most tangible
clue that developed McElwain de.
cIared that Mills returned to his
rooms, dripping wet on the night
of the class fight and seemed
worried.
The news of Mounts disappear
ance, according to McElwain
seemed to increase Mills distrac-
ton, and he often asked about
Mount.
John Scott. son of President Wal.
ter Dill Scott and Fred Scott,
nephew of President Scott, were
among the students who were
questioned. Both declared they had
only very small part in the class
sk4rmishes.
One of the senations of the in
quiry' was the calling of Axel Lon
quest, rich contractor and recent
father-in-law of Fred Scott, who de-
clared when he sought the annul.
ment of his daughters marriage to
young Scott that if he told what ne
knew of the youth that it would
create a sensation.
A subpoena was issued today for
Miss Audrey Lonnquist, formerly
wife of Fred Scott, nephew of the
president of Northwestern Univer-
sity. Her short-lived romance OF
last January terminated in an an
nulment at the behest of her parents.
She was a student of the university
last year. What the States attor.
ney's office hoped to learn from her
was not divulged.
Another Victim is Sought.
Officers are also seeking Arthur
Persinger, another student victir1
OF the class rush, who was reported
to have been tied in a precarious
position to a lake pier, and hope to
obtain valuable testimony from
him.
1t developed today that Mount {
body was literally buried 'in the

Rising above the pier where
the body was found is a wooden
cross-a symbol of hope and life
that had been erected there for

joke on the part of those who
buried the body.

summoned for questioning at the

While the laurels Of victory are

it was revealed today, their goal

The day of triumph for the two
aviators was to have culminated
last night at a dinner at which
several hundred American Legion
men and prominent citizens OF san

navy officers were gathered. Ihe
guests were present when Lieuten-
