Dear Friend jack:
| visited both Brown and Query
at their respective gymnasiums yes
terday and everything looks lovely
There won't be any squabble about
weights this time, for Query is within
one pound of the required weight.
1t is strange how fight managers
will send scouts to the different gym
nasiums and watch the boys work out
Rappold received such good reports
about Midget Query that he cancelled
Jimmy Browns main go with Spider
Lewis, not wanting to take any
chance of having his protege meet
with an accident.
Barring accidents, the Hamilton
fans will witness one of the fastest
bouts ever staged in that city.
Many Cincinnatians will be on
hand, as both boys have a large fol-
lowing.
Hoping that the show is a huge
success, for it is certainly for good
cause, with best wishes, / am,
Sincerely yours,

NEGRO COOK SEEN
 AS MISSING LINK
 IN EDWARDS CASE
Quizzing Of Servant May Reveal Motive In
 Killing

Through an almost impenetrable veil of secrecy which federal. state, county and Fairfield city officials have thrown over all details of the murder of Mrs; George T. Edwards in her Falrtleld bungalow early last Tuesday morning. independent investigations Sunday dts covered a new lead of great importance in efforts to ascertain the motive tor the crime.
 The negro cook employed at the Ed wards home has been questioned at length by officials in Fairfield during the past week.
 Investigations were told by Fairfield citizens that on the morning of Mrs' Edwards death the negro woman. whose name is being kept secret, gave evidence of more than unusual grief and seemed to he in great mental travail. She also is saia to have visited the T. (. |. hospital several times during the day, and to have asked for Dr. Edwards, who now is confined in the BesSemer county jail on a charge of murder.
 New Theory Advanced
 At the same time, a plausible theory in support O; Dr. Edwards defense was advanced The doctor, it is said, had been in the habit of using negro hospital orderlies to send messages to his wife, and one of these may have become familiar with the plan of the house and the habits of the Edwards family. This theory also would explain where an intruder, whose motive was robbery. might become slightly acquain- ted with the use of cholcroform.
 Two other developments Sunday were important. Ben Perry, county solicitor at Bessemer, who is leading the official investigation, was in Montgomery, re turning home late Sunday evening. The other was the statement by a high county official that the states inyestl- gation was practically completed.
 There is no doubt but that all of ficial investigators have agreed to keer secret all developments since Friday afternoon. Since that time, officials are known to have had all night viSils in Fairfield and other spots which might be productive of clues, but developments if any, have not been given out.
 Refuse To Give Details
 The inference that the state is satis fled that it has discovered the real mo tive back of the crime, was apparent Sunday by the announcement that the full details of the tragedy will not be made public until the trial.
 In checking over the various angles of the greusome murder, if has been definitely nscertaned that q wounded man was seen driving an automohil, on the road leading north from Fair | field a few hours after the crime. Th' | tlig t,, l,lign ('lipI Y. l.. Anthony of Fairfield, asSertet that thr man declared he was wounded while hunting. The lone autoist was no dressed as d hunter, Chief Anthony' informant said. and did not ask fo Iircc;ions to d physician, but asked fo whisky,
