Accepting the suggestion, the couple drove east out of Marshall, with Miller and a Times representative as an escort. Gives Him Letter* After the state line was passed Mrs. Wrentmore gave Miller two letters said to have been written by his daughter, and which are expected to prove valuable evidence in determining what penalty shall be imposed upon Moor, who signed a confession of the murder Sunday. One letter addressed “To whom it may concern,” relates an incident upon which a theory that Moor attempted to poison his wdfe May 5, may be based. The other letter, addressed to her brother, L. L. Wrentmore of South Bend, contents of which was not divulged in full, is said to have expressed a fear that Moor was plotting murder to obtain $5,000 insurance on his wife’s life. The second letter, it is said, relates that Moor drew a revolver while he and his wdfe were riding near Champaign, Til., with the remark. “That if you don't like the way things are going, you can get out.”

It is said he and an associate tried to obtain loans of $5,000 each \o engage in a pottery business at Murphysboro. 111. Moor offered his $5 000 life insurance policy and one on the life of his wife in the same amount as collateral. The loan was refused. Officials of the bank said Moor declared he wished to get out of the teaching profession because it liad no future. He told them he had made a study of the pottery business and was to be treasurer of a company at Murphysboro in event he could obtain $5,000. Body of Mrs. Moor with two bullet wounds in the heart was found in the automobile driven by her husband the morning Aug. 15, near Marshall. The couple was returning to their home in Robinson after spending a week-end here with relatives. For several days Moor maintained his wife had been shot by robbers. In his confession he stated the tragedy was the climax of a long period of brooding over his wife's ambition to be a teacher to the detriment of her success as a housewife.

GERMANY MAY SPURN FUTURE ARMS PARLEYS Action Hinges on France’s Answer to Demand for Equality. i REFUSAL IS PREDICTED French Angered, but Not Alarmed at Stand of Von Papen. BY FREDERICK KUH United PreM SUIT Correspondent BERLIN, Sept. 1. Germany | stands ready to withdraw from all future disarmament conferences if France rejects her demand for military equality, it became apparent today. Germany’s “big push” against thp Versailles peace tieaty was on in fuil force. ihe German demand for equality in armaments, made through a memorandum to the French government, was considered the most impel tant onslaught on Versailles since the unsuccessful effort to conclude a German-Austrian customs union.

Threaten U. S. Market The partial scrapping of reparations at the Lausanne conference was interpreted here as a further crumbling ol the Versailles system. Germany's position is that if the world powers can not achieve radical, world-wide disarmament, the German army must be remodeled in proportion with the military tvolui ion of other countries. Meanw’hile, other developments in the German situation w'hich tended to focus the world's attention on the reich included: 1. Increased German tariffs threatened important markets for American products. League Break Feared 2. Germany appeared headed for a break with the League of Nations. Credit for payment cf Germany's dues in the league was deposited with Berlin banks, but with the understanding that any money paid as dues w'ould be spent by the league in this country. The league refused to sanction this procedure. 3. The memorandum to France was overshadowed, for a time, the delicate internal political situation in which Chancellor Franz von Papen had the right to dissolve the new reichstag at will, meaning, if followed, anew and costly, and perhaps troublesome, general election.

Herriot Noncommittal BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Sept. I.—France was angered, but not alarmed today at the German governments demand for military equality, which official circles and the press predicted was doomed to failure. Some observers predicted that if Germany proceeds to rebuild her fighting forces, anew armament race among European nations wall follow. It was considered unlikely that France would reply to the German demand, transmitted Wednesday through Ambassador Francois Poncet. Preroer Edouart Herriot will simply define the French attitude in some forthcoming speech, it was believed. AX KILLER QUIZZED Motive Still Is Sought in Teacher's Slaying.

George R. Jeffrey, district attorney. interrupted with the remark: "Your honor.

"I sentence you to thirty days for contempt. Go back and sit down.” Mabrey was silenced for onlv a short time. Then he engaged in a discussion about changing his plea, and that he wished to go home to his family.
