Schmeling Upset When Unable to ‘Fire'Old Pilot Vi' I ailed Print NEW YORK. Feb. 14.—The boxing world today awaited the outcome of Max Sclimelings threat to quit the quest for the heavyweight title unless freed from the contract that binds him to Arthur Bulow, his German manager. Schmeling was ordered to retain Bulow by the New York state boxing commission. Max lias been trying to dispose of his fellow countryman in favor of Joe Jacobs, American manager. In a statement Schmeling attacked Bulow on the grounds that he was incompetent and not fitted to handle his affairs. He denied claims of 3ulow that he had contributed to the support ot Schmeling's family, with the exception oi “a few marks.” Schmeling and Jacobs sail Saturday for Germany, where the heavyweight plans to visit lor two months. The managerial tangle may be straightened if Jeremiah O'Leary, Bulow’s lawyer, and Samuel Witte, attorney for Jacobs, voluntarily reach a working agreement. The commission gave them authority to uo this.

WIFE ADMITS SLEUTH DEATHi KILLS HERSELF Note Exonerates Detective Pal of Husband Held • for Murder. By T'nitcd Prcra WILLIMANTIC, Conn.. Feb. 14. A quiet, middle-aged church worker, who committed suicide Wednesday has assumed responsibility for the murder of lier husband, William E. Jackson, county detective revealed early today when authorities announced a note had been found on Mrs. Jacksons body. Despite the note, Coroner Arthur Bill said the case against Trenor Rice, deputy sheriff now under indictment for the murder, would be continued. Mrs. Jackson s note sought to exonerate Rice, the coroner said. While Rice sat stoically in the county jail. Mrs. Jackson can and to her home a dust-smeared rifle that already had snuffed out one life and shot herself. Men Were Close Friends Thus the home in which Jackson was accustomed to sit and ponder out solutions to petty crimes became the scene of the second death in the most baffling case in the memory of this mill town’s oldest residents. Mrs. Jackson's action added the element of suicide to a drama that already contained the essentials of the perfect detective story, love, revenge. murder and mystery. Rice and Jackson were close friends, drawn to one another by a common interest in the solution of crime. They quarreled, allegedly over Rice’s attentions to Jackson's 22-year-old daughter, Juanita, and Rice, who had been a boarder in the Jackson home, was ordered out of the house. Arrested After Funeral One evening shortly afterward a bullet smashed through the kitchen window of the county detective’s home and drilled its way into Jackson’s forehead as he sat reading a newspaper. Soon Rice was at the scene and, standing over the body of his former friend, vowed to devote his life to running down the murderer. Four days later Rice was foremost among the pallbearers who lowered Jackson’s body into the grave. Twenty-four hours more and he was under arrest, charged with the murder. Willimantic police said Rice had confessed; they told how; Edward J. Hickey, county detective, had brought into play all the ingenuity which enabled him to hound Gerald Chapman to the gallows and had drawn out from Rice the full details of the slaying. Confession Denied Connecticut settled back to aw r ait the indictment and the trial, but suddenly Rice announced he had an alibi and his lawyer denied any confession had been made. Rice’s relatives rallied to his aid; talked of million dollar defense funds and costly counsel. When Rice was indicted Monday. Mrs. Jackson and Juanita, their eyes red from weeping, shook his hand and wished him .luck. MAN FACES TWO JAIL . TERMS IN LIQUOR CASE West Side Grocer Convicted in Two Trials.
