RUNAWAY MOTORIST IS
 BELIEVED TO BE SLAYER
Body of Ladell Wilder Found Bat tered in StabIe-Hold
 Inquest Today.

Brattleboro, Vt, Aug. 20 LP - The theory that Ladell Wilder. wealthy Wilmington farmer whose battered body was found early yes terday in his COW stable, was killed by an automobile was advanced last night by ssheriff Frank L. Wellman, after an autopsy had been performed on the body. The police at first believed that the farmer was killed by a robber.
 Dr. Fred Kent, of the state laboratory at Burlington, who per- formed the autopsy, found, in ad- dition to wounds on the head, a cut below the knee on one leg that had almost severed the mem- Der. This cut, the physician said, would have been sufficient to cause death.
 The sheriff said it was known that an automobile had been in the vicinity of the Wilder farm, which is difficult of access, on Tuesday, the day the farmer was last seen alive. He expressed the opinion that somebody who had run Wilder down on the road placed the body in the stable and escaped. Attorney General J. Ward Carver, of Barre, will attend an inquest today.

HUNGRY HUSBANDS DEMAND SERVICE
Two Tell Judge Wives Failed to
 Prepare Meals

Husbands want their meals when work, it seems from testimony in two cases of alleged non-support be- fore Judge filling this morning in police court.
 Stewart Rodman, aged 26, plead cd guilty, but added that he was so discouraged at his wife's failure to prepare his meals and attend to the two children that he sold the house. hold furniture for S25 while his wife was on a two weeks vacation in South Coventry. He is a steeple- jack and was working on church job in Bridgeport when arrested yes- terday.
 He said his pay is s1 an hour but he loses time when the weather is bad and when he is travelling from place to place. He wants to pro- vide for his children, the older of which is two and one-half years and the other ten months, but he does not want to support his wife.
 Judge filling told him the law compels him to support his wife whether he lives with her or not, un- less he can give a good reason for not supporting her. Rodman said he will support her if the law com- pels him to do so. Judge filling or dered him to furnish q bond of $500 to pay his wife S15 weekly for six months, or go to jail for thirty days.
 Julius Yachtiwich, aged 45, of 57 Willow street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of non-support and was represented by Attorney Monroe Gordon. After hearing both sides of the story, Judge filling decided that the probation officer should handle the case and he ordered continu- ance until September 25.

DEMPSEY READY ID
 CHANCE HIS CAMP
Kearns' Suit Isn't Bothering the ! Champion Very Much

Saratoga Springs, N. r, Aug. 20 GP - Jack Dempsey today awaited possible naturalization of rumors that writ of attachment for $15,- 900 motor car belonging to the Dempsey family was on it's way to the training camp. Such a sugges- tion reached the ears of the Demp- sey outfit yesterday, limiting that Jack Kearns, one time manager of the champion. had sought such pro- cedure as a preliminary step in his S333,33S.33 suit against the heavy weight champion.
 The report was not lookeed upon with any perturbation by Dempsey, those close to him said. First and foremost. they pointed out, the large and shiny automobile in ques- tionis not in a legal sense of the word, the property of the fighter. It is in the name of his wife, Estelle Taylor Dempsey. From this the camp derives some sly amusement. Then, they said, it is ridiculous to think that suit for more than a uudlltI lllIIlOll SOd1o bS satisfied by the seizure of $15,00O machine. Evidence existed yester- day that those supposed to be re- spcnsible for the writ were aware that something had gone amiss in their schemes. The Saratoga county sl.eriff's office in Ballston denied that any papers of this nature had been received by it for serving. The sheriff declared that if papers were to be served it would be through his office.
 Preparations for change of train ing camps to conform with the transfer of the title match went steadily forward at the White Sul- phur Springs quarters today. Spar ring partners, trainers and other members of the small army attend ing the heavyweight all gathered up free ends of affairs tying them to

She had arrang- ed to go to California on new motion picture contract and altered her plans only to the extent of &C., companying her husband as far as whatever his Pennsylvania point of debarkation from her train will be as determined by Tex Rickard.
