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. Their
whereabouts In the city are unknown,
tit It Is believed they are here.
‘Mrs. August Sailstad, aged mother
oi the former Eau Claire manufac
turer. who mourned her son as dead,
s|ts In her home past which he was
driven on his way to Jail laat night.
♦Edward J. 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."

Youth Borrows Plane
■ for Flight All His Own;
Legs Broken in Descent
Fairfield, la., I)cc. 17.—An over
whelming desire to ride in an air
plane proved the undoing of Carl
Millane, 15, high school youth, who
yesterday removed the plane belong
ing to a Waterloo (la.) pilot from
the hangar where it had been stored
for the winter, and started on his
first flight.
Everything wpnt all right until
he sought to tilt the control lever
to descend, young Millane told his
mother this morning in the hos
pital where he is cbnflned with two
broken legs and a possible frac
tured skull. The airplane was
wrecked.
Splendor of Tut
Coffin Dazzling
Sides Resplendent With Blue
and Gold on Background
of Yellow.
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.
