MASTER
KILLS SECRET
BRIDE
Society Shocked BY Shooting
Of Mrs. Julia A. Douglas by
George Munding /

CHICAGO, Sept. SD.--"I wish I
might have killed him instead"
This was the prayer today Of
George Munding, society riding mas.
ter. in his cell in the Weaton jail
where he is being held on charge
Of murder following the Staying
Of Mrs. Julia Abb Douglas, eques-
trienne. whom he claims was his
wife.
His wrath and bitterness is di-
rected against o. Robert Plummer,
thirty, former chief OF police of La
grange, Ills, whom he charges with
being the third figure in the love
triangle.
HES the fault Of It all" Mund.
Ing declared to police. If I only
had killed him"
The shooting which occurred late
yesterday is said to have followed
an argument over Plummer. Mund-
ing Is said to have gone to Mrs.
Douglas paddock In Hinsdale where
horses owned by Munding and In
Mrs. Douglas possession, started
Mrs. Douglas Is said to have In.
formed Munding that one of the
horses had been injured 50 severely
that II had to be shot.
She admitted to him, he told po.
lice, that she had had Plummer
DO the shooting because she didn't
have the heart to do It.
At the mention Of Plummer's
name, Munding Is said to have
gone into a rage. The argument
which followed was terminated by
Munding shouting:
"Well, II can't have you, no
one else SHALL"
He then fired the shot which
ended Mrs. Douglas life. Police
found him later too dazed to realize
what had occurred but In a cell
later his first question was: Ibid
kill her? Is she dead?
Informed that she was, he be.
moaned the fact that It was Mrs.
Douglas instead Of himself who
had met death.
At preliminary arraignment
Munding pleaded not guilty.
Not guilty ~ at least for this
present" he told the magistrate.
In society circles In the exclu.
sive Northshore suburbs where
Munding and Mrs. Douglas had an
extensive following in the fashion,
able younger set, It was said Mrs
Douglas was known as Munding' I
fiancee.
Her husband, an army officer, II
was thought, had died several years
ago.
Munding, however. declared today
| that Mrs. Douglas was his wife
| They had been secretly married
three years ago, he said, but had
not let 1t become known for bust
ness reasons.

Gitlow Replies to
Bittelman on Hungarian
Convention Report
(Continued from page a

Continued from page d
neglect of the central executive com
mittee. The central executive com.
mittee did not submit any plan to the
Hungarian convention for work
among the workers engaged in the
basic industries. It was the duty Of
the central executive committee real
izing that many Hungarian workers
are engaged in the basic industries, to
submit such a plan for work among
them. After all the central executive
committee is the leading and directing
body in our party. It must initiate
and direct important work Of this kind
for our language sections. When it
doesn't do so it has no business to
blame a particular section of the party
for not making progress in that direc-
ton.
The whole article written by Bittel-
men on the Hungarian section conven-
ton is an example Of how an article
should not be written. To have to
answer such an article is bad enough.
Such articles make it impossible TO
conduct the discussion on serious
lines. If Comrade Bittelman will con-
sinue to write such articles the whole
discussion will degenerate into an
expose Of the methods used to distort
and confuse the real and important
issues involved.
When a discussion was decided
upon thought that there were funda-
mental issues involved that had to be
seriously discussed. And there are.
real fundamental issues involved. In
order to discuss in a manner that
would be beneficial to the membership
and to the party consideration Of
facts and their application to tactics
is necessary. To divert the discussion
into misrepresentation Of facts, mud
singing, unfounded charges, as the
charges made by Comrade Bittelman
against the Hungarian convention, and
the issuance of empty, inapplicable
fake slogans, is TO greatly hurt the
discussion, to confuse the membership
and to injure the party.
