M’COY*S CLAIMS
PROSECUTOR EXPECTS INDICT
MENT FOR MURDER OF 'WOM
AN. :
LOS ANGELES, Aug., 15.—A de
jected Kid McCoy, greatly different
from the loquacious prize ring idol
of other times, sat in his cell here
today while a few blocks away a
coroner sought to fix responsibility
for the death of Mrs. Theresa 'W.
Mors, divorced wife of Albert Mors,
wealthy antique dealer. McCoy is
held on suspicion of murder in con
nection with the atfair. McCoy con
tends the woman with whom he had
been living under an- assumed name
.committed suicide.
Police investigators declare that
the ex-pugilist shot her to death in a
fit of jealousy or rage.
The coroners jury returned a ver
dict stating she came to her death
from a gunshot wound inflicted by
a person or persons unknown The
jury believed the woman’s death was
a case of suicide or homicide.
‘McCoy today received some sup
port for his suicide story from the
lips of a county autopsy surgeon, Dr.
H. A. Wagner, who on the witness
stand at the request declared his in
vestigations led him to believe the
gun used on Mrs. Mors had been
fired “when close or against” the
woman’s head.
The doctor explained the absence
cf powder burns by saying that un
dubtedly the cartridge had been
charged with smkeless powder,
F. M. Andrenai, attorney for Mors
testified that on Tuesday, the night
of which day Mrs. Mors died, she
had met Mors in his office for a
business discussion and that she had
displayed considerable friendliness
for her divorced husband.
District Attorney Asa Keyes,
watching the inquest prceedings re--
iterated his previous statement that
despite Dr. Wagner's testimony, he
expected the county grand jury to
indict Mchox for the murder of Mrs.
Mors.
GERMANS NOT ANXIOUS
ABOUT JOINING LEAGUE
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Aug., 15.
Germans are not eager to join the
league of nations, Dr. Mortiz J. Bonn
financial adviser to the government
at Berlin, declared at an open dis
cussion of the league today at the
Institue of Poitics.
“The league is an instrument of
iniquity to many Germans,’”’ Dr.
Bonn said in reply to a question as
to when his counltry would join the
organization. Explaining to his au
dience, which comprised almost thel
entire membershipr of the institute
‘that he had always been’ an advocate
of the league, the speaker asserted
imat it was useless to try to convince
Germany of the justice of the par
tition of Upper Silesia.
In addition, he asserted, the peo
rle consider the Treaty of Versailles
radically opposed to the terms of the
armistice, which he said they con
sider sacred.
The treaty contains the statement
that Germany alone is responsible for
the war.” Dr. Bonn said, ‘‘and the
people fear that for them to join the
league might be considered a volun
tary acknowledgement of their guilt.
“The German people are not great
ly elated at the prospect of being
treated in the league as the equal of
i states like 'Haiti and Hejas; and
lin addition, they are by no means cer
tain that it would be worth their
while to join the league , even on
terms of equality, when neither the
United States nor Russia are mem
bers.”’
Trade unionism and the German
working classes were the instruments
by which democracy was saved and
geviet rule averted according to Dr.
Bonn, who appeared hefore the in
stitute in a later lecture.
At a sale of early Chinese poreclain
just recently held in London, two hot
tlesof the Ming period were soid for
for the fabulos sum of $32,000. The
bottles are turqueise blue and richly
' eracklev.

ters of his speech before the Ohig
state Democratic convention at Colum

been made beyond the Columbus
speech, which is to be preceded by one
at Senagirt, N, J,, next Friday, Mr.
Davis will speak on Labor Day at a
place yet to be determined.
Some of his advisers are urging that
he make one or two addresses in the
time intervening b ween Avg. 26 and
Sept. 1.
The nominee i has about decided
against reading = his campaign
speeches, or ever writing them out
fully in advance. He simply will block
out the framework and fill in as he
goes along. This is the procedure he
hag followed in campaign speaking,
except in the case of his acceprance
address and he believes this method
will be most effective.
Mr. Davis still declined today to
comment on President Coolidge’s ac
ceptance speech which he heard © on
the ardio last night and read in part
this morning. He said he expected to
spend the next sixty days commenting
on it in campaign addresses.
After busy day here at his head
quarters, during which; he conferred
with a number of his advisers, the
nominee returned (o Yis home in Lo
cust Valley, L. T, to spend the week
end.
