Los Angeles Doctor
Is Held for Murder
OF Wealthy Wido1O

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 80 up - An
other link in the chain of evidence
which sheriff's officers declare blinds
the guilt of the murder of Mrs. Amelia
Appleby, widow of wealthy Chicago
inventor, on DR.. Charles M Mcmillan,
was effected today with the locating
which had been tied about the Woman'S
body when it was found by a roadside
last Monday.
The canvas cloth matched in it's
patches, it's twine and in the place it
was cut, with the sack around the
Woman's body. 1t was discovered in
her home on North Hobart boulevard
by deputy sheriffs.
With the finding of the canvas
strip, the officers said they were able
to reconstruct the murder of the
woman who inherited a fortune esti-
mated at close to million dollars
from her inventor husband, John F..
Appleby.
The officers declared they believed
the woman was slain in rear north
room of ner own home and that the
body was bound in the, sacking there,
later to be transported by her slayer
to the point near the city limits where
it was discovered some hours later.
The case, which on Monday was a
dark mystery when the unidentified
body of a woman with split thumb
was found murdered, her arms tied
in front Of her and her legs behind
her with what appeared to be phySi-
clans knots, has rapidly been unfold
ed, according to deputy sheriffs, since
the woman's Identification and the ar
rest of Dr. Mcmillan, who is accused of
her murder
Stoutly denying his guilt of the
crime, DR.. Mcmillan admitted to the
officers that he lived with the woman
and handled her business affairs. Since
meeting her his bank account has
sWelled, the officers discovered.
In connection with their inveStiga-
ton the officers are attempting to To-
cate jewelry valued at $4,000 which
was known to have been in Mrs. APP
pleby's possession recently, and which
| now is missing. The jewels were prin-
cipally old pieces which Mrs. Appleby
had owned prior to her marriage to
| the late Chicago millionaire inventor.
Fingerprint experts today examined
q will giving all of Mrs. Appleby's for
tune to the doctor According to Cap
tain William Bright, head of the
sheriff's office homicide squad, the
body of the will, apparently signed by
Mrs. Appleby, was in the handwriting
of Dr. Mcmillan.
Mr.. Mcmillan tonight denied he hac
known anything about the will.
He also denied that he and Mrs. Ap-
pleby had quarreled recently when she
was informed that he had wife and 6
daughter living in Los Angeles anc
from whom he was separated although
not divorced

barrage of questions shot at him b!

MURPHY RULES

PHOENIX, Dec. 80 P--Muni-
cipaI corporations in the state
may engage in the retail sale OF
gasoline providing the governing
body of the city or town adopts
an ordinance to that effect, lc-
cOrding to an opinion submitted
today by Attorney General John
w. Murphy, to Governor Hunt.
The opinion was in answer to a
request made by Governor Hunt
of the attorney general at the
same time that wholesale gasoline
companies in Arizona were asked
by the gOvstnor to submit to him
data on cost factors i'll order <ilat
his office might investigate re-
ports of exhorbItant gasoline
prices.
Section "a Of Article 2 of the
state constitution, Mr.. Murphy
says, states that "the state OF
Arizona and each municipal cor
pOratiOn within the state of
Arizona shall have the right to
engage i'll industrial pursuits"
Industrial pursuits the attOr-
ney general Opined, would include
the retail sale of gasoline.

officers have found two pairs of Mrs.
Appleby's shoes in the doctors apart

In addition to bloodstains found on

DR.. McMillin tonight denied he had
met Mrs Appleby about six months
ago at church and walked home with
her. Later she asked him to manage
her business affairs.
To neighbors stories that he had

GALES REJOICES
in IMPROVEh
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
In New Years Address To
People, President Is
Optimistic

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 80 P)-Presi-
dent Gales has issued a New Years
address to the Mexican people, i'll
which he says:
"Mexico's domestic situation has been
improved and there has been ushered
in an era of most cordial and intelli-
gent relations between Mexico and all
other nations"
The president asserts that the ere
ligious rebellion" has been suppressed
and that the few remaining rebel re-
ligious groups soon will be exterminat-
ed, and, furthermore, that the attitude
of the Mexican government with re-
gard to the religious question is un-
changed - it continues to have the
same respect for all creedS.
"The government" Senor Gales
adds, ''is rot trying to discuss ques-
tions of religious dogma. 1t simply
cannot permit any religious creed to
establish in Mexico a state within
SCaCe.
The president says the attempted
revolution by Gomez and Serrano wa'
without popular support, and thus was
entirely for selfish ends; it therefore
was easily suppressed by the govern
ment.
Mexico's economic situation during
the past years, it is pointed out, Was
very difficult, but nevertheless tft
government met it's domestic obliga-
tions and paid its foreign debts, anc
intends to make an effort to continue
to do so.
President Gales hopes for future
tranquility in Mexico, new era O
cordial and intelligent foreign rela-
tions, which already has been inaug.
urated, and he appeals to all Mexican'
for unity and concerted action.

First Landing Ever Made
On Small Field Thrills
Large Crowd
MASSES CHEER
25O-MiIe Trip From Guate-
mala to Belize Is Made in
3 IL Hours.

BELIZE, British Honduras, Dec. 30,
R)-U Undaunted by the perils of the
improvised landing field here, Col
onel Charles A. Lindbergh today
swept from the sky on his promised
visit to British Honduras in con-
tinuance of his good will flight to
Central America.
Although officials had been frank
ly skepticaI of a landing on the
sports field at the northern end Of
the city, the only available landing
place, the American air hero made
a ESQ mile air jaunt from Guate-
mala City to look the field over for
himself, decided that landing was
perfectly feasible, and then to the
great joy of the eagerly awaiting
crowd, came down, instead of turn
ing south for San Salvatore, his
next stopping place.
The landing-the first ever made
by a land plane here-was hair
raising, for the American aviator ap-
peared to escape mishap only mar
roWly. He just missed the telephone
wires on the northern end of the
40O-yard field and then swerved
skillful1y to Keep his plane from the
grandstand that had been erected
for the New Years horse races.
Then he TAXED over the narrow
field, swampy in spots, and came
to a stop in the midst of deafen-
ing applause fronn the crowd, the
largest that ever had gathered at
Newton Barracks, as the sports field
is known.
Before coming down, Col. Lind
bergh circled the field several times
as if cropping to determine the best
place to land Finally he swept down
gracefully and skilfully to safety.
The landing was a marvellous feat
and the crowd that had been COM
pletely under control during the tense
minutes filled with anxiety that &C
companied it went wild with joy.
The spectators broke through the
Gordon of police and special con-
stables enrolled for the occasion
and swarIned over the field surround
ing the historic Spirit of ST. Louis
of which they had read so much.
So exuberant was the crowd with
relief at the safe landing of the
American air hero, that the reception
committee was forced to link arms
| to form a protecting Gordon about
the aviator in order that he might
be taken to the golf club.

COURT DECL ARES REMUS INSANE
DESPITE OPINION OF ALIENISTS

ended last week with acQuittal
upon the solid ground Of insanity,
Judge Lueders accepted entire re-
SpOnSibility.
"The law rests with me-" he ex-
planned "It directs the court CYL
in medical witnesses, but In the
last analysis it is for the probate
court to decide from all the evi-
dence in the case whether Remus
is sane"
For a score of years Judge LuederS
has been "the probate court" He
bears a wide reputation locally for
common sense"
Despite the report of the three
alienists who advised him Remus was
sane, Judge Lueders found support for
his decision in this additional informa-
ton:
"We also find that said George
Remus is a psychopath and therefore
is a dangerous individual to be at
large. We believe that he is a dan
gerous psychopath, because he is un-
moral, lacking a sense of ethics, emo
tionally unstable, being subject to un-
restrained outbreaks of temper and
rage and egocentric to pathological
degree"
The document bore the signatures Of
Doctors H. H. Hoppe, Thomas A. Rat
life and Howard D. Mcintyre.
