MIXUP OVER LETTERS
Prosecution Says Notes Tell

Were Forged
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIX
CLINTON, lIL, July 17.— The
body of Mrs. "Pet" Magill, first
wife of Fred H. Magill, the mil
lionaire banker under arrest in
Los Angeles, charged with her
murder, was exhumed tonight.
Guards were placed in the ceme
tery and no one 1 -except officials
was admitted. Assistant State
Attorney Mitchell, who is in
charge of the case against Ma
gill, said that the stomach would
be sent to, Chicago for an analysis.
Another sensational develop
ment " tonight "was an attempt
made by Mrs. Myrtle Parrett, an
old* sweetheart of Fred Magill, to
commit suicide by taking strych
nine on the grave of Mrs. "Pet" Magill.
She was found by the officials who had
come to exhume the body and physi
cians were hurried to the' scene. It
is expected that she will die.
Assistant State Attorney Mitchell
decided today to quash the verdict of
the coroner's jury "that Mrs. Magill
committed suicide," and a new jury will
l>e impaneled to Investigate the case.
Simultaneously with this decision
Mitchell announced for the first time
that the state had in its possession the
letters alleged to have been written
by Mrs. Magill Just before her death
and it was said that at least one of
these had been discovered to be .a,
forgery.
RELATIVES OPPOSE IJfftCIRY
In making his fight for the ex
humation of the body of Mrs. Magill,
Mitchell was opposed by a large num
ber of residents of Clinton, either
closely related to the Magill family
or personal friends of the accused man.
Relatives of the wife, Mrs. Fay Graham
Magill, have rallied to the support of
the woman, who also is under arrest
on a murder charge, and it is said that
even the relatives of the dead woman
refused their consent to the exhuming:
of the body.
Attorney General Stead tras appealed
to and advised Mitchell to proceed, re
gardless of the objections of interested
persons.
Arthur D. Merwln, the rambler -who
was arrested Monday as an accessory
after the fact to the murder of Mrs
Magill. denied strenuously today that
he had any knowledge of the affair
or that be' was In any way connected
with thai tragedy.
Arrangements have been completed
for the employment of a number of
secret service men from Chicago' to
protect the county jailin Clinton after
Magill and his wife are Incarcerated
there next week. It Is the opinion of
' tiie . police that public feeling is so
strong against Magill that it would
be wiser to swear in special deputies
of the sheriff than to trust to the local
police force.
LETTERS HELD BY DKFEXSE
SAN DIEGO, July" 17.— The letters
which are to figure in the defense- of
Fred H. Magill and Fay Graham Ma
trill, if they are ever brought. to a trial
for the murder of the former's" first
wife, were written on official! paper of
"Colonel Fred It.'- Magill,"- aid' de camp
to Major General Arthur, J. Stoddard,
commanding Uniform Hank, Knights of;
Pythiag." The letter, which was pinned
to her dress was undated, like the rest.
It was as follows:
"Clinton. 111. — Fred: (I have used
chloroform or. strychnine.) I want you ;
to know that the cause of this, act' of \
mine Is your mother fMrs. E. L. Mag-ill) 1

TAYLOR LAYS
PLANS FOR
ACTION
New Executive Says
He Will Name
Clean Men
Supervisors to Be
First Appointees
Mayor Is Indorsed
Schmiiz .Relieved of
the City's Big Auto
duty will be the selection of and
appointment of sixteen super
visors to succeed those on the
present board who have expressed
their .willingness to retire when
ever called upon so to. do. I
firmly believe that the city is en
titled to clean and upright offi
cials, and it is my intention to see
that it gets them. This is no light
matter and I do not pretend to
say just when I will be prepared
to make the appointments."
The foregoing statement was
made yesterday at noon by Mayor
Edward R. Taylor, shortly after
he took possession of the may
or's office in the city hall. Early
in the day Sergeant at Arms Ed
ward Burke of the board of su
pervisors presented to Dr. Tay
lor, at his residence, the certifi
cate of his election as mayor, to
succeed Charles Boxton.
Mayor Taylor, accompanied by
his legal associate, William B.
Kollmyer, went to the office of
County Glerk Mulcrevy, with
whom he filed his oath of office
after presenting his credentials.
The mayor x and His attorney then
went to the city hall, where they
were received by Henry McKan
nay, secretary to former Mayor
Boxton. Mayor Taylor at once
