SECOND LETTER CLEARS MURDER r CASE SUSPECT Huntington Sheriff Told Alfee Innocent in Ballard Death.

By Times Spcciat HUNTINGTON, Ind., Aug. 3. Alfree, with whom Mrs. Carl Ballard lived after leaving her l husband, is not responsible for her murder, according to the second letter received in a week by Sheriff Garl Rudicel from a man signing, •himself as George C. Claudson. The body of Mrs. Ballard, with the heed battered, was found beside a road near Roanoke two weeks ago. * Sheriff Rudicel is inclined to the belief that the letters are the work of a person of unsound mind. The wtext of the second follows: Dear Sir: I wrote you under date of uuly 21 from Cleveland in reference to the body of Mrs. Carl Ballard. It was not until Tuesday morning's Cleveland paper rthat you replied. I left Cleveland Monday night, arriving here Tuesday, and was going to surrender to you Tuesday, tart found on investigating that things were tiirning out in n manner that would i not. be fair to me. I was in Huntington Tuesday and again Wednesday. I know you by sight and the coroner as well. I will say this: That you are on the wrong trail. She did not die in Detroit, but between Ft. Wayne and Roanoke. Michael Alfee V for whom you are looking, knows nothing about the details and is in no way connected with the affair. As I stated before, there is no one living today who can give vou the details except myself, as there was no one present or even knew Mrs. Ballard was in Ft. Wayne except mvself. don't bdieve I will get a fair chance I should surrender to you in Indiana, ■but will do one thing. I will be glad to to police In Cleveland and give a complete statement. I asked vou ■n a previous letter would you be willing ■to charge manslaughter and not murder. ■Will you do this? If so, let me know by ■tne same means you did before, through ■the Cleveland Plain Dealer, as I will re■turn to Cleveland Thursday. ■ I feel somewhat better, now that Mrs. ■Carl Ballard has been claimed by her relaI will do what I can to do my part will send to her relatives what I ■phmk will be enough to cover such exbut I do not believe you can ever ■locate me unless I give up.' Very truly GEORGE E. CLAUDSON.
