Pive Made Jobless by Helen Hayes’ Condition Given Salaries.

MURDER IS SEEN INHEIRESS' DEATH California Authorities Start Inquiry After Body of Wom- an Rancher Is Found. By the Associated Press. FAIRFIELD, Calif., September 21— The half-billion-dollar estate of Miss Irene Wolfskill, 55, whose body was found in a dry creek bed near her home Thursday, remained in the pos- session of a Los Angeles bank today, while county authorities here continued their investigation into the death on the theory that she had been mur- dered. An autopsy revealed no signs of vio- lence, although surgeons admitted the condition of the body was such that the exact cause of death probably never could be deduced. Miss Wolfskill disappeared from her Fairfield ranch July 14. When last seen she wore a skirt and sweater. The son of a local rancher found the body, clad in_men’s overalls. The Los Angeles bank, acting as trus- M. |tee for Miss Wolfskill's estate, sent in- vestigators to the ranch yesterday. Matt and Ney Wolfskill, brothers and guardians of the heiress, arrived from Los Angeles and were questioned by Sheriff John R. Thornton. They could throw no light on the apparent dis- crepancy in their sister’s clothing or what persons, if any, would be desirous of doing her harm.

McLaughlin last night, only to find the man they had sought to drive from the house since late last night had escaped. Sheriff Mack L. Ledgerwood of Frank- lin County and a party of deputies went to the house last night to arrest McLaughlin on a statutory charge and for carrying a gun. They were met by shots from the small wooden house, which earlier re- ports said was made of corrugated iron and equipped with port holes. The officers kept an all-night vigil. ‘This morning Mrs. McLaughlin left the house and the officers forced an en- trance, only to find it deserted. Sheriff Ledgerwood believes the man escaped before dawn. Held Off Officers. Behind the corrugated bullet-proof walls of his mountain home, from which | take he was routed once before by the Na- tional Guard, McLaughlin, 42, an ex- convict, held off officers of three counties who sought to arrest him. McLaughlin, who at one time was under a death sentence for a statutory offense and later gained a commutation to life imprisonment, then a full pardon, has been barricaded in his home with g‘l;h:vfle and children since ‘fast mid- Franklin County officers who went to arrest him were met with gun_fire, Sebastian and Crawford County officers were called to thelr assistance, but McLaughlin continued to hold them off with occasional firing. In the same structure in 1926 Mc- Laughlin, charged at that time also with a statutory offense, barricaded himself for days. “The National Guard event- ually was called out and McLaughlin surrendered. He was and ac- quitted. ‘Waylaid Witness, At the last term of court at Ozark, when he was to be tried on another statutory charge and a pistol carrying charge, he was said to have waylaid the prosecuting witness and attacked him with the barrel of a gun.
