VITAL LETTER
MyNtery of Exhumation Is Cleared By
Testimony In Trial of Reese Fox,
Accused of Complicity
In Murder.
Winchester, Ky., Aug. 25. The ex
amining trial of Reeso Fox, charged
with complicity In the murder of Leon
Renaker, Winchester "Turkey King,"
and for which Soobee Hardman was
held to the September grand Jury at
bis examining trial lust week, was
called before Judge It S. Scobee, this
morning.
The first three witnesses Coroner
Bean, bis assistant, Mr. Kerr, and Dr.
Ishmael testified about finding the
body. The three witnesses Identified
a stained green bordered handkerchief
as one found beside tho body.
Tho mystory surrounding the ex
huming of Renaker's body some days
ago was cleared up, Coroner Bean
testifying that the shroud on the dead
man was searched for a letter. The
letter which It was hoped would clear
up the murder was not found.
Mrs. Renaker was next cnllcd to the
stand. She wept as she recalled the
trip to Cincinnati with her husband to
attend a ball game and of her return
home to find his lifeless body In his
bedroom. She denied having told any
one of their plans regarding the trip
to Cincinnati.
Mrs. Renaker was questioned about
the life Insurance her husband car
ried. Attorney J. G. Denny of the de
fense objected to the line of question
ing by Maury Kemper, one of the
attorneys for the prosecution, in hi
examination of Mrs. Renaker, claim
ing that the prosecution's questions
were incriminating to the witness and
reprehensible. Attorney Kemper (lis
claimed any attempt to connect Mrs.
Renaker with the crime, saying the
prosecution was trying to show that
Scobee Hardman had a motive for
wanting to do away with Leon Ren
aker.
The defense hopes to prove by
Harry Kreiss of Lexington and Har
vey Ringo of Richmond that they were
the occupants of a car which crooned
the Kentucky River at Boonesboro on
the night Renaker was thought to have
been murdered, and which Arthur
Smith, ferryman, testified at Hard
man's examination was occupied by
the accused.

Washington, Aug. 25. Federal op
eration of anthracite coal mines and
some of the railroads was considered
at a White IlouJe conference tonight
between President Harding and Chair
man Cumu'ns of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee and Attorney
General Daughterty.
Senator Cummins said after the con
ference that the anthracite operators
and miners would be given one more
opportunity to settle their differences.
"If there isn't a settlement In a few
days," he said, "I will Introduce a bill
authorizing the government to operate
the mines."
Likewise, he said, the railroads
would be given a "reasonable" time
in which to furnish adequate service
and that those unable to do so would
bo taken over.
Senator Cummins expressed eonfl
denco that legislation for both pur
poses could be rushed through Con
gress without delay. It was Indicated
that consideration of these steps
would not operate to interfere with
proposed legislation now pending and
designed to curb profiteering In coal.
Tho White House conference fol
lowed a survey of the whole situation
at the regular Cabinet meeting and j
the termination without result of the
conference in New York between rail
road executives and union officials. It
was stated that the conference would
be resumed tomorrow.
Before tonight's conference, the
ground work had been laid through
administration overtures for 4 further
meeting between the parties to the
anthracite dispute to bo held next
week at some point In Pennsylvania.
