FIND DEATH PUZZLE
IN MURDER, SUICIDE
Rich Widow Found Wounded,
Maid Dead; Hammer and
Knife Used in Tragedy

Chicago, April 4.-(AP)-What at
first appeared to be an attempted
murder followed by suicide had turned
today into a mystery In which third
person may have played murderer's
part.
Two aged women-a wealthy widow
and her maid-were found In the for
mer's apartment yesterday. The
maid, Mrs. Ida Peterson. was dead. a
bread knife plunged In her neck; her
mistress, Mrs. Helen Kelso. 10, was
near death from hammer blows.
The first theory Of police was that
the maid, 81 years old, had beaten
Mrs. Kelso over the head with q ham
mer and then had taken her own life.
Mrs. Peterson. who had been q maid
for Mrs. Kelso for n years. at one
time was an inmate of the state hos
pital for the insane.
Circumstances tending to contradict
the murder suicide theory were found
by investigators for the coroner's Of
flee. Physicians expressed doubt that
the maid would have had sufficient
strength to have plunged the knife
into her neck with such force as to
break off part of the blade. They also
adduced from the blood that flowed
from both that Mrs. Kelso may have
been attacked after the maid had
been slain.
The maids body was found on q
bed in her own room. A blood-cov-
cred hammer lay on the floor nearby
Mrs. Kelso. fully clothed, was found
on the floor Of her bedroom. Her
skull was fractured and she was ,un-
conscious. She had not regained con-
sciousness early today and there were
only slight hopes for her recovery.
