Landing from the battleship Texas
on foreign soil for the first time
since he took office, Mr.. Coolidge was
met by the Cuban chief executive
and his cabinet, and taken to the ma

ally seething with a mass Of wildly
cheering Cubans.
1t was a spectacle such as this

Moved as he seldom has been be-
fore, Mr.. Coolidge responded to the
repeated demands for him after he
entered the palace by appearing on
the balcony Of the Cuban presidents
home, looking out over a plaza filled
with a crowd that threw it's collec-
tive hats into the air and let out a
mighty roar when he waved to them.

SUSPECT MURDER
IN SUICIDE CASE
Friends Find Weman's Body
in Well After Shot Is Fired;
Gun Found in Attic.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FREDERICK, Md, October 23.-
County authorities we're confronted to-
day with solving the second mysterious
shooting within two days, both of which
occurred in the same neighborhood.
Mrs. Elsie Sharer, wealthy widow of
Ladiesburg, who was thought to have
committed suicide yesterday by shoot
ing herself in the head while leaning
over a well, in which her body was
found, may have been murdered, Sher-
iff william C. Rhoderick believes, as no
pistol was found when the well was
drained today. The pistol was found
this afternoon wrapped in an apron and
hidden In the attic of her home.
Mrs. Sharer was missed at her home
late yesterday when neighbors were at
tracted by the sound of pistol shot.
They found her body in the well after
lengthy search. The bullet had
passed entirely through her skull and
came out near the base of the brain.
A coroner's inquest was held immedi-
dLely ana a verdict Oh SulClu6 WdS T6Il-
dered. This verdict will stand for the
present, the sheriff said.
Mrs. Sharer is said to be very
wealthy, owning nine farms in the
northern section of the county.
It was reported that Mrs. Sharer had
been respondent over the recent death
of her husband.
David M. Crist, Walkerville merchant,
was shot down on the porch of his
home early Sunday morning. His home
is in the neighborhood of the Sharer
farm.
Officials have discarded robbery as
the motive for the Staying of Crist and
are now centering their efforts on the
theory that the real motive was
jealousy.
Crist was widower and father of
q 13-year-old daughter
Funeral services for CriSt are to be
held at his home today with burial
