Tragic Comedy in Sailstad Case ‘Sunshine Girl,” in Superior Jail, Says She’ll Wait for “Teenie” Forever. ( By Associated Press. , Superior, Wls., Dec. 17. — In Huperior today are three group* of pjarsons, bound together in a tragio comedy of fate. ♦ Ross Richardson and Mrs. Leona J^dlstnd-Richardson, who married be lieving the woman's husband, Edward ,L Sailstad, to be dead, and Sallstad’s t$vo children, form one group.

Sailstad and hla "Sun fne Girl,” Dorothy Anderson, one le Chicago cabaret performer, are the Douglas county Jail awaiting aignment on a charge of arson in tfie case of the man and of being an accomplice in the case of the girl. Dorothy is suffering from Incipient tuberculosis, and Sailstad appeared greatly harassed when brought to the jail last night from Napa, Cal., b^’ Sheriff and Mr*. William A. 11a gyeen. Both prisoners appeared de jected. and when interviewed on their r^ay to the Jail last night expressed undying love for each other. Meld Incommunicado. ♦ Sailstad Is charged with burning a chttage at Lake Nebagamon, in A*ugust, 1920, to create the impres sion that he had died, so he could e^ope with Dorothy Anderson. A sen sltional trial was held in which his supposed widow sued eight insurance Epanles for $80,000 Insurance on Insurance policies held »by Sall , and after bone* of a human body burned In the cottage were pro duced, a compromise was affected. It has later transpired that Sailstad jjaced the body of Allan McPhee, a friend, in the cottage before firing It. • The prisoners will be held lncom riunlcado pending the arrival here of District Attorney Robert E. Kennedy, 'fhe date of their arrangement has nbt been set. }One of Sailstad’# chief concerns When he arrived here last night was hV)w he would be received by his tiother. I "I wonder how my mother will re <*lve me," he told reporters, "That Is chief worry now. Alio, I wonder flow she’ll receive ’Mumsle’—Miss Anderson." 1 Miss Anderson also was anxious as to whether Sallstads mother would like her. "I pray that she will not tjitnk that I am to blame for all th* Double." 7 She said she would wait for "Tee pie," as she calls Sailstad, "forever." Judge Would Tax Non voters > i - Chicago.

By Associated Press. liUxor, Egypt, Dec. 17.—All precon cciveci Ideas of Tutenkhamun's gold en shrine l^ere upset by the sight ot this impressive coffin, for the first time disclosed in almost Its full pro portions by the removal of the parti tion wall, when the correspondent vis ited the tomb today. The first impression of this gigan tic receptacle for the dead, its sides resplendent with decorations of blue and gold, set against a background of brightly colored painting on yel low, was almost overwhelming. The feeling was of something incredibly bizarre—something that seemed ut terly to banish the presence of death In this casket of wonderful artistry. One of the first details to catch the eye was that the fact that the golden lid of the canopy does not, as one imagined, from the view obtained from the opening In the wall, slope down from one end to the other. II rises again at the other end, giving a graceful curved effect which lf^ de dared by competent authority to be unique in Egyptology. The lid Is nqt solid, but hollowed out, roofing over a space of about four feet between the first and second shrines. In this space the correspondent was able to see—for the doors of the first shrine had been removed—a remarka ble species of wooden racks or scaf folding, erected to carry the immense golden spangled linen pall resting over the second shrine. It is very like open cage work and Is painted a glis tening black with heavily gilded carved feet. In the front where the removal of the doors of the first shrine renders it clearly visible it is seen to be made of two parts, rather awkwardly bolted together with two largo bolts, probably wooden. From the top hangs the ragged edge of the pall turned blackish brown by age. showing where the part which con cealed the doors of the second shrine had broken away. This part of the pall, except for a small piece crum bling on the ground, has already been removed to the nearby laboratory. Ask? Big Credit for Germany.
