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.
