tensifies the mystery as to the
origin of the offending communi.
cation and the writing Of the phrase
designed to inflame bigotry. Mrs.
Caldwell denies she IS its author,
but will not tell who is. Neither
will she give out the personnel of
her office.
In some circles the attitude of
the committeewoman is taken as
indicating that some higher up
in the Republican national COM
mittee or among the Virginia G.. o.
p managers is responsible for the
phrasing of the letter and that Mrs.
Caldwell has been forced to act in
the role Of scapegoat by the party
officials.
Deny Authorship
Denials Of responsibility for the
letter came yesterday from r.. III.
Angel, Republican State chairman
in Virginia, and w. Lee Brand,
State secretary, as well as from
others at the general headquarters
Of the Republican national com.
mittee here.
While the author of the rum
ridden and Romanism" phrase was
being shielded by the CO. P.
chiefs, Democratic leaders were
quick to seize upon the incident as
proof that the Republican managers
are covertly melting the religious
issue in the campaign while publicly
soft pedaling" it.
Governor Smith himself is quoted
as saying that the Caldwell letter
is additional evidence" of the fact
that the Republican national com.
mittee sponsors religious propaganda
and Senators Pat Harrison of Miss
issippi and Edwards OF New Jer-
sey echoed the charge.
Representative Burton Of Ohio,
Republican stalwart, denounced the
letter in unmeasured terms and
leading newspapers, regardless of
party alignments, flayed 1t as the
worst incident OF the campaign.
The exact extent of the circula-
ton of the letter in Virginia has
not been determined, but it is be.
lieved that thousands of copies have
gone out to precinct leaders and
others. In certain sections of the
Old Dominion state Republican
leaders have Haunted the religious
issue in the open, according to c.
r. Ball, Democratic city chairman
in Roanoke.
1t was in the knowledge that GER
tain elements of the population were
susceptible to religious propaganda
that the Caldwell letter was broad
cast, he says.
He declares. however, that the
reaction already has set in and that
the Smith Re binson ticket will roll
up a big majority in the State.

Gen. Walker, Father
Of Mrs. Caldwell, Das
Shot in Election Row

John w. Price, Washington law
yer, law partner of c. Bascom
Slemp, national committeeman from
Virginia, once defended the man
who shot Gen. James A. Walker
father of Mrs. Willie Caldwell.
General Walker was shot by
George E. Davis during an alter
cation over contested election
in the ninth district of Virginia.
General Walker was running for
Congress against William F. Ray.
Davis was Rays secretary.
When the election resulted in a
contest, a hearing was held in the
Bristol, Va, courthouse. At this
time men connected with the cleo
ton were making dispositions in a
small room in the courthouse.
w. s. Hamilton, a BRISTOL Va,
lawyer, had in some way gained the
enemity of General Walker.
AS the dispositions were being
taken Hamilton started to rise and
give testimony. AS he arose he was
shot by Walker who in turn was
shot by Davis
Neither Of the wounded men were
injured seriously, and in the result
ing trials both Davis and Walker
were acquitted. 1t was said that
General Walker was in the habit OF
going around heavily armed and at
the trial Davis claimed that Walker
attempted to shoot him, This was
upheld and Davis was dismissed. |
The case against Walker was drop
ped.
General Walker, according to Mr.. |
Price. was a famous Confederate |
general and was an able lawyer.

AS POLLY" SAILED FROM NEW YORK
SLAIN WOMAN
IS BURIED
IN MD.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Oct. 1.
Mrs. Frances Hiteshew Hamilton,
wife Of William L. Hamilton, slain
by Harry d. Schultz. who con-
united suicide in the Hamilton home
while the husband was at work at
the Kelly Springfield tire plant, was
buried from her home today. Her
body was laid to rest in Hill Crest.
Schultz accidentally killed his wife
sometime ago.
The body of Schultz is lying at
n local undertaking establishment
unclaimed. He died practically
penniless and may be buried at
county expense. No relatives have
come forward to arrange for his
funeral.
Letter Is Found
John Williams, Of Swissvale, Pa,
4 half brother, was here but did
not make any arrangements, say
ing he had previously borne funeral
expenses for another member of the
family. A brother. @. H. Shultz. is
believed to be in Ohio. A letter
from the latter dated October 10.
1927, addressed to Hamilton, has
been found.
In it he says: CT understand YOU
are blaming me for running after
your wife. You are accusing the
wrong man. Ask your neighbors.
Harry Is causing all this trouble"
Blames Financial Troubles
Some advance the theory that
Shultz's financial straits may
have been a factor in his commit
ting the crime. He was heavily in
debt and was being pressed by
creditors. He owed the Hendricks
Hotel more than 500 for room rent
and he was indebted to several
local firms.
The Star Of Hope Refuge, an
orphanage at Burlington, w. Va.
was pressing him for money for the
maintenance Of his two children
there, according to a letter found
in his effects.
