sheriff's officers, engaged in an inten-
sive hunt for John Mcclure, missing
sutton of Mrs. Minnie Millinger, who
was found mysteriously slain mar. her
home at the outskirts of Waukegan
early yesterday, have sent requests
to Kenosha and other nearby towns
that Mcclure is wanted in con-
was found mysteriously slain near her
arrest shim on sight.
Mcclure is described as "a years of
age, and is one Of several suitors of
Mrs. Millinger, "a years old, who was
known as "Diana of the Crossroads"
Mcclure, who roomed in back Of
George SchrOeder's gas filing station
at Five Points, near Waukegan, made
impassioned love to Schrceder's step
daughter, Mrs. Millinger. Recently
he chased off the premises as "too
damned young" Frank Schlusser, IL
years old, who was also sutton of
the woman. Now Mcclure is sought
for questioning in the death of shoot
ing of the comely Diana"
Mrs. Millinger was murdered early
yesterday, evidently during or after
an automobile ride from Chicago with
Mcclure. Frank Schlusser, the youth
whom Mcclure chased away from the
Schroeder home, is now held in the
Lake county Jail for questioning in
connection with the case, but Mcclure
is the one most eagerly sought, as
he is the last known person in Mrs.
Millinger's company.
Took Ride to Chicago.
According to the Schroeders, Mrs.
Millinger left home Wednesday even
ing at $3.50. o'clock in company with
Mcclure for a drive into Chicago in
McGuire,s fiivver. At $3.50 yesterday
morning, Mcclure drove up to the
home of Bert Asma, where Mrs. Doro-
thy Smith, sister of Mrs. Millinger,
resides, and carried Mrs. Millinger
into the house.
"My God, Diana's shot," he ex-
claimed. Then, referring to Frank
Schlusser, the lad now held by Sheriff
Ahlstrom, he added, "Frank done it.
He then drove away to get doctor.
Ten minutes later two men in Ford
car stopped at the Edison Court sta
ton of the North Shore line and
reported to Policeman George Streed
that a woman on Belvidere street had
been shot by Frank Schlusser. They
suggested that the sheriff be notified
and an ambulance sent to the Asma
home.
The sheriff was notified and an am.
blanee was rushed to the scene. Cap
tain Booth of Waukegan police, also
responded. Mrs. Millinger was taken
to Victory Memorial hospital, but there
she was pronounced dead.
It was at first believe, from hur-
ried examination of her wounds that
she had, been stabbed underneath the
left eye. Later careful investigation
by physicians proved the wound to be
that of .52 calibre pistol.
Think Mcclure Informant.
The sheriff's office is inclined to be-
lieve that Mcguire was one of the
two men who drove np to Policeman
Streed and informed him of the shoot
e
terday, Mrs. Millinger made no state
ment as to how she was shot be-
fore she died.
Late yesterday afternoon States At
torney A. v. Smith of Waukegan, an
nounced that a reward of $1,000 would
be paid for the arrest of John
MCGUIRE.
Schlusser, taken in charge by police
soon after the discovery that Mrs.
Millinger was dead, was known to
have been good friends with the
woman, as was also Mcclure. Mrs.
Millinger met Mcclure several months
ago and they were seen often in each
others company.
A possible clue to the crime was
discovered yesterday when creamery
driver found a Ford automobile
cushion lying at the side &C Dugdale
road. Beside it were two Eandker-
chiefs, both biood-stained. A report
was made to the Office Of Sheriff
Aalstrom and the articles were taken
in charge.
