THE LOGUE MURDER MYSTERY
Miss Ethel Rohlfing of St. Louis,
hec sister Louise, also known as Mary
McMullin, the common-law wife of
John Faith, and Josephine King,
friend of Louise Rohlfing, were taken
before the grand jury today to testify
regarding the murder of Joseph H.
Logue, the diamond broker.
Each of the women accused Harold
Schneider, a vaudeville actor, of be
ing the slayer, and John Faith was
named as accessory before and after
the fact.
All said they had been told the
story of the murder by Faith.
Schneider still refused to talk to
the police, and his air or indifference
has shaken their assurance that the
murderers are caught.
It was rumored late this afternoon
that the grand jury had indicted
Faith and Schneider for murder.
Two women with offices adjoining
Logue's had identified them as men
who visited the broker the day before
his murder.

WHO SHOULD WORRY!
Denver, Col., Aug. 16. Following
Dr. Harvey Wiley's declaration that
Eve did come from a rib of Adam,
Dr. Hunter, secretary State Board of
Health, goes still further and states
that Adam actually came from Eve.
"Eve came a long .time ahead of
Adam," he said, "ages and ages
ahead of him. She was the only sex
to inhabit the earth for centuries.
She bred the race, just as she still
does, cared for it, fed it, sheltered it,
and, in fact, was the whole thing in
the world-making business. Biology
proves this absolutely and incon-troyertibly."
