MYSTERY WOMAN IN DEATH PROBE CHICAGO, March 29—A mystery woman entered the McClintock case here today as state and defense began marshalling forces for court battle tomorrow when Wm., D. Shepherd and co-defendant in indictment charging murder for death of Wm. Nelson McClintock will be arraigned. The woman, said to have figured prominently in affairs of Jones detective agency, alleged to have been employed by Shepherd, was to be brought to state's attorney's office today to tell her story. Two other women, connected with agency, already have been questioned by Judge Harry Olson, chief instigator of McClintock death investigation. One, Gladys Roberts, former secretary to John Jones, head of agency, is reported to have told Judge Olson of visit made by Shepherd to agency's offices. "Shepherd and Jones went into private office and closed doors," Miss Roberts told him, Judge Olson declared. "Out of curiosity I listened and heard some of conversation. Shepherd had been drinking and I heard Jones say to him: The trouble with you, is you talk too much. If you stick to that one story, they will never get anything on you." Miss Roberts told him, Judge Olson said, that Jones expected a raid on his agency office by state's attorney's office and had transferred number of papers to home of Evan Jones, not a relative. Evan Jones, brought into Judge Olson's office for questioning, is said to have corroborated this but to have declared papers were returned to the agency when expected raided failed to materialize. The mystery woman, it was expected, would fill in breaks in this story and it was considered possible she would be placed on witness stand tomorrow when grand jury witnesses are summoned to tell why they gave their testimony.

I feel sure my sorrow will be shared by my sovereign, the King, by his government and by all British people," said Howard. DEAD ESTIMATES CHANGE OF TEN WEST FRANKFORT, Ill., March 20.—As down broke over storm-torn So. Illinois today 500 of those who died in tornado had been counted for. Estimates don't mean much, they are changed so often. But they are still estimating those dead and missing any injured—estimating by the hundreds and thousands. These estimates all remain about the same, from 800 to 1000 dead, 300 or 400 missing and 3000 or 4000 injured. From out of ruins of shattered homes and public buildings dead bodies were recovered throut night in West Frankford, Murphy-boro, Desoto and other cities and villages that great storm swept over. There is hardly a building left standing in entire stricken area that does not contain one or more scores and scores of injuries. Doctors and nurses, after giving first aid to victims gathered in temporary hospitals, are visiting homes, ministering to the sufferers. There are scores of "major cases" that usually means patient has one chance in ten to recover—and then to live ever after as hopeless cripple. The national guard, Red Cross and private relief organizations work without rest. Soldiers aid citizens in searching ruins. Major Robert Davis, Col. Culberson. SOUTH ILL.

Fifteen bodies were laid away during night without cement. These 15 souls were mined—foreigners—who went to the graves sharing only common grief. There was not one person care. Somewhere in this world they too may have some one who would grieve if they only knew. But upon others, only brief of ceremony was bestowed. Standing in chilled morning wind, hands torn and palsied, a villain read short services over simple coffins. Around him stood relatives of friends of this first so-honored signment.

More than 1000 doctors and nurses were in field and train loads of supplies had reached their destinations. Out of ruins of what once were imposing buildings and happy homes, dead were taken today. Here is report that came by telephone from West Frankfort one of stricken cities: "We have about 125 bodies in morgues here this morning and more are being brought in. We don't know yet how many dead there will be. A lot of buildings were torn all to pieces, and you have to dig about in debris to find out whether there are any dead. You can't cheek up living and find out how many are dead because living don't know about their own families in many cases. A man, woman or child may be missing, but whether alive or dead is not known. Every family with member unaccounted for hopes the loved one will turn up in home of some neighbor. But they don't know and we can find out for a long time yet. This work is just getting well organized." And the story that came by phone from West Frankfort was that does not contain one or more scores and scores of injured. Doctors and nurses, after giving first aid to victims gathered in temporary hospitals, are visiting homees, ministering to the sufferers.

Culbertson and other military officers are preparing to make survey of casualties with the hope of reaching definite figures. "We don't know how many are dead," said Col. Culbertson."There is no way of telling. We don't know how many bodies may lie under ruins." It was predicted bodies of those killed in storm will continue to be found for many days to come and that more seriously injured will be dying for days, adding to long list of fatalities. Relief work here and at other points in stricken district is well under way. Tented cities have sprung up everywhere, food is being distributed and people are recovering from first shock of disaster.
