' Iabor is the backbone of the coun

earnestness and loyalty.
"There may be slackers here and
there, but our average workingman

Carlton Is of tin- opinion that many

This In turn, he says. Is due to the
fact that the average workman Is un

Simultaneously. Detroit police offic

The "trunk murder" mystey In con
nection with which Eugene Leroy Is
under nrrest. has ramifications which
extend from New York to Michigan.
Mississippi and Alabama.
A few mliutes after an employe of
the American RuMway Express com
pany here had discovered the nude and
mutilated body of a young woman In
a trunk stored In the unclaimed bag
gage warehouse, police of New York
and Detroit began following the train
of evidence which led to the victim's
identification as Mrs Catherine Lou
Jackson, of Sturgls, Miss., and the lo
cation of A, A Taluni, whose name
ami a Detroit street address were found
marked on the trunk which concealed
the crime for more than a mouth.

um was unknown? but someone triers
told detectives that a young couple
known as Mr. and Mrs. E. Leroy had
disappeaied frcm that address about
June 10, the date on which the trunk
vv:is shipped to New York.
The public by given these two names,
Leroy and Tatum, brought forward
Andrew J. Branle, a New York ex

the police he had handled a trunk for
Fernandez or Leroy-. who he said,
also used the name of 0 J Woods He
produced a letter from Lerry enclos
ing a check for the trunk !n which the
body was later found, asking that It
be removed from the express ware
house and stored by Branle until Le
roy should call for It.
A Detroit policeman, Leo Trumbull,
then came to the front, declaring that
he and his wife, knew the young wo
man who lived with Leroy as his wife
at the Harper avenue address. When
the body of the murdered woman ar
rived In Detroit Trumbull and his
wife Identified it as 1 Mrs. Leroy."
Then from the south came positive
