Ford Is at Portland this POLICE BELIEVE HRUME Abandon Further Investigation of His Death Burglar Story Is Scouted "Bloodstains" Prove to Be Red Paint. CHICAGO, HI., July 21. The po lice today abandoned further inves tigation of tho death of .Ira G. Rawn, president of tho Monon railroad. They are convinced that Rawn killed Mmself and they say there is no evi dence to support the story told by tho family that the railroad man was shot in an encounter with a burglar. The "jimmy" marks on the door, 'which were pointed to as evidence that a burglar had entered the Rawn lomc in Winnctkn, tho fashionable North Shore suburb, were on the in side of tho door frame, not on the ntside, thoy sav. If they had been made by a burglar they would have been outside. The alleged bloodstains found on tho sidewalk, leading from the house to tho sidewalk in front, tho police say, proved in reality to be red paint. The other evidence iumisued oy tho family in support of tho burglary theory, tho police believe, is equally wtrustworthv. There is no evidence thoy say, that more than one shot "was fired and tho detectives who save been investigating the case be lieve that only one shot was fired and that it was fired by Rawn him self. The fact that Rawn was involved 5n the alleged frauds of the Illinois Central car-repairing department, ever which department us operating rice-president of that road lie had lcn in chnrgo, is considered by the police sufficient motive, and they say liat furthor investigation of the cane, unless a now phase is presented by lfce family, would bo sheer waste of time. After tho coroner's investigation, which will bo held Monday, it is prob able that so far as tho city police nro concerned tho caso will be dropped. Privato dotoctives employed by the Xawn family, however, are still busy en tho caso and adhere to the theory that Rawn was killed by a burglar r an assassin. H. G, Coburn, son-in-law of tho lead man, denied today that Rawn recently took out largo life insurance policies. "It is not true," said Coburn, "thut Srr. Rawn recently took out $110,000 life insurance. Ho earned at the mml about $20,000, and certainly that is not an unusual amount for a nan of his standing." Tuesday last, it is reported, Rawn iold a neighbor that burglars had en tered his house tho night boforo and that he intendod to be on the watch for them. NEWS HEMS week ntfndlng tho A. O.
