J f ';- ;,? J ROT'S ACQUAIBTTASCE TOTJ3CD ' Acting on Information from Birming ham, j furnished . by ' the ' International News Service, Chief of Detectives , Ed ward 1L Fox and the homicide squad quickly located four persons who knew the Leroys in this city and who identi fied both the man's and woman's cloth ing as well as giving other Information that dovetailed with the story of A. A, Tatum in Birmingham and A. J. Branlc, New York expressman. Complete solu tion of the mystery awaits only possi ble identification of the man held by Chicago police as , Eugene Leroy. Po liceman Trumbull ; and his wife Olive told , members of the homicide squad that they had met Catherine Jackson on October 30, 1919, at the Interurban hotel. Woodward avenue and Jefferson avenue. Two. nights later they met Eugene Leroy. The hotel records show that both Katherine Jackson of Nash ville, Tenn and Eugene Leroy of New York were at the hotel that night, con ing in at different times and occupying different rooms. A. Helleriburg regis tered with and occupied the same room as Leroy. r t' . Two weeks later the : Trumbulls met the man and woman again. . The ' girl was' wearing' a wedding ring and said. I'M r. Leroy and I are married," accord ing to Mrs. Trumbull. They went to live with the Trumbulls and it was there Mrs. Trumbull wore the rose sweater coat, found in the trunk," on a number of occasions and became fa miliar with other clothing and: first heard of A. A. Tatum, ! "Mrs. Leroy wrote Tatum tor money which she received and again, following a quarrel with Leroy, sent for Tatum,'' Mrs. Trumbull said. "Mrs. Leroy con fided in me that she had been, married and divorced from a prize fighter named Jackson in Mississippi and had hoped this marriage would be happier. They quarreled considerably, however, and when Tatum was here and went out with Mrs.. Leroy, 'r they were followed one night . by Leroy with a dagger. CLOTHING IS IDENTIFIED ' , Shortly after that incident, the Trum bulls moved to Highland Park and the Leroys to 93 Trumbull avenue, where they lived with Mr. and Mrs. J. L. I'fibter. The Pfisters were located by the homicide squad and took up - the Story where ; the Trumbulls left off. at the same time making a second Identi fication df the clothing found n the trunk. ;. . .-p . Mrs. Pfister said she had worn the brown coat with black fur collar several times. Pfister completed the last link in the chain of facts connecting the Le roys with the murder when he admitted he had moved the Leroys' trunk from his home to 105 Harper avenue early n June." When he paid him, Leroy said: "Ion't tell anyone where you moved us to. according to Pfister. Leroy was employed at the Timken Axle company, Cadillac and Hudson Mo tor Car plant, while In Detroit, and Mrs. Leroy at the Western Union under the name of Jackson", according to both the Pfisters and Trumbulls." ii ; 'I -t ?: SECOND TBC5K 18 TRACED: ,i The homicide squad had traced, the second trunk which was taken from the Harper avenue address as far as the Michigan Central depot and : advance the theory that it Is now lying in stor age somewhere.

"The police were . first " Informed of Tatum's statement by the International News Service early Sunday morning," Lieutenant Black said, "and immedi ately wired Birmingham - for details. When the details arrived splendid and quick work by the homicide squad laid bare the, whole tragedy with the excep tion of the actual arrest of the slayer. The International News Service is to be congratulated for materially aiding in clearing up the case." t . , t LINOTYPE OPERATOR. GIVES CLUE ; TO WOMAN'S SLAYER Detroit, Mich., July ' 26. After ! run ning down ! several conflicting clews thought likely to lead to the solution of New York's trunk mystery, the ' police of Detroit ""Sunday night switched their activities to an investigation of a story told the police of Birmingham. Ala., by Allen A. Tatum. a linotype operator, concerning the actions ' of j Katherine Jackson of S t arks vt lie. Miss, and her friend, "E. Leroy," while in Detroit. BEGISTEB : GIYES DATES IL f Tatum said he met Miss Jackson at Birmingham, called on her at Nashville and later sent money to her when she was in Detroit, according to information received by the police here. Tatum also saw her when he came to Detroit early in May and stopped at the Park hotel. he told the Birmingham authorities. He denied he had anything to do with the Slaying. . f " ' : - According to Tatum's story, the Jack son girl was a close friend of E. Leroy, a mechcanicaj engineer for : an auto mobile concern. 1 Detectives examined the register r at the Park hotel; and found that an "A. A. Tatum had registered there May & Tatum said the Jackson woman and a Mrs. Trumbull came to see him at ths hotel. He said he left June 28 for , Birm ingham, j: ,,,: TV was LEEors TBtrirx i V -v. Tatum also was reported to have told the Birmingham police that last October he wrote Leroy in care of the later urban hotel. The register shows that Katherine Jackson was registered at the Interurban. : but there was no way of telling how long she had stopped there. - Detective Miller left Sunday evening for New York to bring back the body of the slain girl for an analysis here, pro viding he can obtain the permission of the New York authorities. -4 Practically every official development in the case- so far Involves E. Leroy. At the Wadena apartments. 105 Harper avenue, Mrs. Lojtie Brooks, who con ducts the apartments, identified the trunk which was sent back from New York as one which belonged : tb Leroy, and also: identified two' blankets which arrived with the trunk as blankets used in the Leroy apartment. These blankets were wrapped around the mutilated bpdy of the young woman. - TBY TO TBACE TBTJICK : The Janitor at the apartments was grilled by the police. He said he noticed a bundle of bed sheeting in the furnace at about the time the .body was shipped, and that he detected what he thought was - the odor of burning flesh. . Leroy, the police learned, at one time worked at Palatka, Mich., In Iron county. A coat found In the trunk with the body bears the label "Brown-ing-Femside company. , Palatka's best men's store.-" A canvass of all trunk stores has been made by the police, but It has developed nothing tangible. Local -officials of the American Rail way Express company, after the ex amination of an expressman whom they believed might know who shipped the trunk, and learning nothing posi tive, have apparently decided to permit the police to handle the case.
