me of my fight against Jess Willard at Toledo;
he looked smaller than Baer and moved so
much faster He has fine balance and speed ;
he keeps cool and hits like bullet. He slides
in and out of hitting distance like shadow,
and he has smash in his left hand that is sure
poison. His right is even better. What he
showed that night convinced me that he might
become great champion. that it may take
years to develop man to beat him.
By that don't mean that I'm convinced
he will beat jim Braddock for the title. Jim is
different from any of the men Joe has beaten
thus far; he has a knowledge of boxing that
neither Camera nor Baer nor Levinsky ever
had The best thing Jim has is a sure belief
in himself and the strength and persistence
togo on fighting, no matter how hard he is hit.
When say Louis hasn't shown champion

what he can do under heavy fire or any

he had promised.

the murder of Paul Wharton, Is.
year-old dress designer.
Henry Bolte, law instructor,

apartment.
Meanwhile police said discovery
of letters of a convicted felon
may disclose a much more SIMS.
ter aspect to the crime than the
suspected money madness of
Howard, heretofore blamed for the
killings.
Officers said the letters eStab-
liShed that Bolte was an acquaint-
ance of w. G.. Earl, awaiting SEN
tence following conviction of con-
spiracy to rob a wealthy widow.
During his trial Earl was revealed
to have been connected with E. E..
Wiley, an attorney serving a SEN
tence in a Federal prison for traf-
fic in stolen and forged Govern
ment bonds.
Captain Stensland, in charge Of
the investigation, is attempting to
ascertain whether Wharton and
Howard had any connection with
Earl or members of the asserted
Wiley gang. Police said, however,
they have in no way connected
Bolte with any illegal activities.
Inquest Ordered
At the same time an order by
Coroner Frank Nance for an in
quest into the death of Wharton
dramatically halted plans for the
funeral of the modiste, who will be
buried from the AngeluS Temple
of Aimee Semple Mcpherson, in a
cemetery lot donated by an un'
named member of the church.
It was for Mrs. Mcpherson that
Wharton did his first designing
when he developed the costumes
used in pageants at the temple
here.
It was announced that among
the witnesses to be summoned to
the Wharton inquest will be Mrs.
Ray Wolfe, socialite from whom
Wharton assertedly stole a $1,000
diamond ring; Mrs. Dolores Clev.
enger, seamstress employed by
Wharton; Mrs. Virginia Bolte,
wife of the slain attorney; Mrs,
Ada Wharton, the couturier's in

Boga should have come to the police instead of taking the law in his own hands. there was certainly an aggravat. . ing condition which would boil the red blood of any man If he Is a man."
 Mrs. Boga said her husband hit her on several parts of her body with q cane and broke the door of the house. She had to be treatel by a doctor, she complained. Her husband who had pleaded guilty said he was sorry he did 1t but declared his wife make shame for me and my children" by going out with the boarder. He claimed she had locked the boarder in the pantry when her husband came home.
