MOTIVE FOR MURDER.
Hesse May Have Feared Wife Would
Return to First Husband.
TocuuiHoh , Neb. , Aug. 19. That L.
' . MeMaster , former husband of Mrs.
13. 10. llesso of Teeumsoh , xvhoso body ,
with that of bor
Ifi-yoar-old daughter ,
s found In the old well on the Hesse
place , hoped BOIUO day for a rceou
Illation with bis wife. Is thought by
lolniKcm county people to have been
ho motive for the etlmo now laid at
the door of 1C. M Hesse , one of the
nest known Uiiillngtou brldgo men In
the west.
Old letters saved from the lire which
destroyed the llesso home on the eve
ning of lulv l > ; t. 11)10 ) , and which. It IH
supposed was set by Hesse to hide the
evidence of bis guilt , show that Me-
Master in \\illlng to ills daughter
Wiumctn , thought much of the two
and laid the blame for the dhorce ,
which separated him and bis wife , to
himself. That one or more of these
lotteis may have fallen Into tbo pos
session of Hesse , and caused him to
brood oxer the matter until he commit
ted the deed , Is considered the only
possible solution to the grexvpomu
tragedy , noxv more than a year old.
Rumors to tbo effect that MeMastor
may have been another of the Irate
husband's victims are disproved , fol-
loxvlng the finding of several letters
which Indicate that at the tlmo of
the crime ho was to have been , If bo
carried out his plans , BOIUO distance
from Johnson county. A Tecumsob
citizen saxv McMaster several weeks
ago In Chicago , accordmg to current
report , and an effort Is being made tc
locate him noxv in the hope that nd >
ditional light may be shed on the
tragedy.
Efforts to locate Hcsso have so fai
proved fruitless.

Thinks Airships Will be General.
A. L. Klllian , xvho was ono of the
spectators at the Chicago aviatloi
meet Tuesday afternoon when two 01
the flyers were killed , believes thai
the time is comparatively near at bane
when aeroplanes will actually be
brought into general use by the lay
man , Just as automobiles are now.
"There were countless thousands o
automobiles out for the airship flights
and I saw four horses , " Mr. Kllllai
said. It occurred to him that in tin
not very distant future the auto woulc
bo relegited to the rear by the aero
plane , Just as the horse has gone be
fore the march of the auto.
"It looks perfectly simple and easy , '
Mr. Killlan paid. "They get in , turn i
wheel and soar Into the air like birds
It looks as easy as running an auto
mobile. They glide along about the
height of a man's head , then rise te
tremendous altitude , then dip and sal
and glide. It looks remarkably easj
and everybody with any nerve at al
wants to go up. One Chicago alder
man bought a plane for $4,500 for general
oral use. I like the monoplanes bettei
than the biplanes. " At one time he
saw nine airships flying simultaneous
iy.
iy.Mr.
Mr. Killlan has been away for Box-
era ! weeks. Ho was at Cedar Rapids
la. , where the Killlan company lias
Just bought a store ; and later went tc
New York and other eastern market
