SPANISH YOUTH
, HELD IN DENVER
BRIDE’S MURDER
Blood Soaked “Jack" Notes
Point to Former Lover
As Slayer
Denver, Col., Aug. 26.—Elsie Jor
gensen Suttle, pretty 14-year-old girl
bride, was murdered, because she
would not break her marriage vows
for a former lover, according to pres
ent theories of detectives regarding
the mystery slaying
The murderer is believed to have
gone to the Suttle home, in Colorado
Springs, Thursday morning, with
murder in his heart and either a .45
caliber revolver or a hammer In his
pocket. While the slayer was ham
mering the life out of Elsie with his
Weapon, he pressed his knee on her
chest with such force that her body
was crushed in.
Jacinto Fernandez, Spanish youth,
, arrested by Denver police Saturday
in connection with the crime, Sunday
defied an all day grilling by police
of this city and Colorado Springs.
He's "Hard," Sleuths Find.
Termed the "hardbolled sheik" by
; detectives conducting the probe into
the slaying of Elsie, with head
l thrown back and eyes blazing, he
punctuated his cross questioning with
"you go to hell” and "find out If you
can.”
At times during the questioning,
which occupied a greater part of the
afternoon, the Spaniard maintained
a stony silence, ignoring questions and
amoklng many cigarets.
"He is the toughest proposition to
*et anything out of I have ever
seen,” was the remark of Detective
Captain George Dyon at the con
clusion of the grilling.
8paniard In Tight Place.
The detectives Intimated that evi
dence obtained both in Colorado
Springs and Denver makes the case a
strong one against Fernandez- Prin
cipal-among the evidence is a packet
of five "Jack" love notes, blood sat
urated. which were found beneath
the pillow of the slain girl bride.
Police say they are confident Fern
andes is the autor of the letters, most
of which are filled with insistent de
mands upon the girl to forsake her
husband and run away with the man
who had been her lover before mar
nage.
A handwriting expert was called
upon to compare the writing In the
letters with that of Fernandez and
reported that the writing bore “mark
ed similarity.”
Sudnay night Denver police re
sumed the third degree of Fernandez
relentlessly. Hour arter hour, how
oyer, his stolid composure remained
unbroken.
Husband Suspended Har.
R. H. Suttle, Jr., husband of the
slain girl, Sunday told police of how
#.*ie suspected some one of prowling
' about his wife’s boudoir window.
He suspected her of knowing who
the prowler was, he said, but when
he asked questions she was obdurate.
The prowler, It Is now known, sought
a secret mailing box at her bedroom
window and eaqli day the missives
were exchanged. This window was
often open In the warm summer
nights and police say the "Jack” note
author went Inside In the absence of
the husband.
The young husband, after his wife's
refusal to tell what she knew con
cerning the prowle, loaded a shotgun
and placed it handy for a return of
the unknown man. It was discovered
that the young wife picked the shot
from the shells during the husband’*
absence.

CABINET TOLD
SESSIONS OFF
Coolidge Notifies Members
Formal Meetings Discon
tinued Indefinitely
-
BY WINDE R. HA RIS.
Universal Service Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 17.—President
Coolidge has discontinued all cabinet
Ineetings for an indefinite period, it
was revealed at the White House
Monday.
The abandonment of the cabinet
meetings leads to the conclusion that
President Coolidge, having availed
himself of the Information and views
of the cabinet members, is going to
follow his own council and that of
his own friends and advisers in form
ulating the specific policies of his
administration.
1 Members of the cabinet have been
formally notified that they are ex
cused from the customary twice a
week round table conference with the
executive until otherwise advised
There will be no session Tuesday and
none Friday and it will probably be
well along in September before the
cabinet is called together again- No
sessions were held last week. In
fact. President Coolidge has had the
cabinet members together, but twice •
since the funeral of President Hard
ing.
Caiy Them One by One
In .the meantime, however, the
president from d&y to day la. calling
one or another of the department
heads for individual conferences on
problems relating to that particular
department. Two were called In
Monday, Secretary of War Weeks and
Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Each
said he discussed departmental ques
tions on which the president wanted
specific information.
Acting Secretary of State Phillips
also saw the president Monday.
May Chang* Poliele*
While in the main It is expeoted
that President Coolldge will adhere
to the general policies of the Hard
ing administration, in keeping with
his general announcement to that ef
fect, at the same time he Is confront
ed with the necessity of formulating
his own opinions and of making spe
cific recommendations to congress
that will constitute a legislative pro
gram and a pronouncement of policies
on which he can go before the coun
try for an endorsement of his ad
ministration.
In making known these specific
conclusions, It Is Inevitable that he
must depart to some degree from the
policies laid down by his predecessor.
He must chart a course in dealing
with the various perplexing Interna
tional problems, as well as the do*
mestlc Issues facing this country.

Universal Service Correspondent
Dublin, Aug. 27—The election of
■the new dall for Ireland, which all
prophets agree will result In a de
cisive majority for the Free State,
was ushered in Monday morning at
Sawn by lively firing of rifles and
machine guns In Dublin.
National troops on bicycles and in
armored cars patrolled the streets
to preserve ordpr all day.
A unique feature of the day's poll
ing was the number of aged women
all favoring peace, exercising their
right of franchise. Many priests,
while not mixing actively, made It
plain to the voters that only the
triumph of the Free State party
means a continuance of peace and
that victory of the republicans would
bring a return of fratricidal war.
Cosgrave Expresses Confidence
President William T. Cosgrave,
who has been extremely active dur
ing the campaign, covering thou
sands of miles, adopted as his mot
to, "Ireland and safety first.” He
was so confident Monday night that
he had won the Free State cause,
that he announced he will leave
Wednesday for Geneva to argue for
the admission of Ireland to the
League of Nations.
Police and soldiers surrounding
the polling booths in all sections of
the country, confined their activi
ties to preserving order and pro
tecting the government candidates
from assaults by republicans.
A republican newspaper at Wa
terford was burned. Minister of
Fisheries Lynch, and James Crow
ley, his colleague, were fired on by
republicans at Llxnaw, County Ker

turbance is not of a general char
acter.

will be shown that the government,
supported by the farmers, business
men. Independents and labor, will
be able to muster 125 of the 153 seats

"The demands served on banks,

"Arrangements have been made

According to reports reaching here
from Hagerstown, Lee Houser, finder
of the money, has disappeared. At
his home, it was said he had "gone
fishing,” but no information as t9
his whereabouts waB obtainable.
All Speculation, So Far.
Hagerstown, Md., Aug. 27.—With
the assertion yesterday of Lee Hous
er, a 28 year old farmer living near
here, that the box he dug up last
week on the Brownsville-Weaverton
road contained between $100,000 and
$110,000 in bills, besides approximat
ely $10,000 in gold coin, speculation
grew Monday as to whether the
money is that buried by Grover C.
Bergdoll, draft dodger, before his
flight to Germany.
Complicating the situation was the
assertion of G. S. Wheeler, a farmer
that he would lay claim to the for
tune. Wheeler said his 10 year old
son, Howard, Is entitled to the money,
since he was the first to find it.
Wheeler said his son was seated on a
bank beside the road when Houser’s
pick exposed the box containing the
money. Wheeler says Houser tore
the box from the boy’s hands and
made off with it.
Not So Much, He Says.
Houser told friends Monday that he
will go to Washington some time this
week and ask treasury experts to
treat and count the green backs. The
bills are stuck together with mildew,
he asserted. He also revised his esti
mate of the amount of gold in the
box, saying he was sure there was
not more than $2,000.
No one, even Robert E. Lee
Waters, who was digging three feet
from him, saw Houser unearth the
cache, nor has anyone seen it since.
Houser showed waters one gold coin,
with the inference that that was all
he found. Then he hastily covered
the box with two shovels of dirt and
kept on digging.
When Houser reached home he waa
met by a delegation of neighbors
waiting to ask him to share the
wealth under threat of the mountain
curse if he refused.
