ED courted me four years be.
fore we were married. We knew
each other well before we decided
to cast our lot together. We knew
we were made for each other.
There were times when I almost
felt / had made a mistake, but
that was only when Ed had been
drinking too much. If ever I
seemed to fail him, it was when I
was trying to help him.
Looking hack over the 20 years
Of our married life, ! am brought
close to him when I remember the
many acts Of kindness he showed
me. his greatness, how considerata
he was Of me; how he sought to
spare me trouble and worry.
He never hid any secrets from
me. In fact. he could not, !
knew him too well.
They say Ed had affairs with
other women. It's a lie. He had
one affair in his life and that was
with his own wife.

All through the day groups Of
friends and relatives came and went,
offering comfort. giving advice. and
seeking to brighten the pale face
that care and worry have creased
during the past few days.
Late in the day. when Baltimore
detectives and Montgomery police
had failed to develop single clue
that might lead to an arrest of a
suspect, Mrs. Mills seemed to be on
the breaking point-the suspense,
the tenseness in the community that
was accentuated on her dairy farm,
and the efforts of friends to cheer
her were sore trial for her.
A Good Husband

band than Ed. Mills was" the

Weak? Yes. he was. He drank and

DUBLIN, July IL" Wilful
murder by three men, I'M
known, " was the verdict re-
turned today by a coroner 5
inquest into the death of Kelvin
% Higgins, vice president and
minister of justice and foreign
affairs for the Irish Free State.
Body To Lie In State
The inquest was held in the
Black Rock town hall, near the
spot where O'Higgins was asassi-
mated yesterday. After the in
quest, the body was removed to
the Mansion House in Dublin,
where it will lie in state until to-
morrow night. Then it will be
moved to St. Andrews Church,
where it will lie in state until the
funeral Wednesday morning.
Vengeance Seen as Motive
With the police AMI the govern.
ment maintaining great secrecy. the
theory is being advanced hat the as
sassination was one of personal ven.
geance.
o'Higgins was one of the tirmest
leaders in the Irish Free State. and
was credited generally with being re-
sponsible for the decision resulting
in the execution of many of the
rebels who fought the Free State
during its early days, MANY believe
that friends of executed rebels had
sworn vengeance.
II is still too early to. determine
the political effects of the ASA ssina
ton, but the government has taken
steps to prevent disorders There
are rumors of possible new civil
war, but such reports are discounted
in responsible quarters
No arrests have been made as the
result of a 24-hour police investlga-
ton.

Senator Walter E. Edge Of

particular at Motorcycle Police

"vindicate justice" if the authori-
ties do not thoroughly investigate
the affair and place the response
