28 % [} THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C. F QUESTION MOTIVE IN DOUBLE SLAYING Il Health or Stock Losses Held Cause of Shooting of Chicagoan and Wife. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 20.—There were two motives offered today xplain the Thanksgiving day double tragedy in the Gold Coast Apartment of the James Barrett Pauleys: Il health and markct losses. Pauley shot his wife as she sat work- ing a cross-word puzzle, He then cn- tered the bathroom and killed himself with the same revolver. Both had been in il health for some time, and there was evidence that they had ‘suffered heavy losses in the stock market. There was nothing, however, to indicate that murder and suicide had been contemplated, and police today were still trving to find out what par- ticular incident prompted Pauley to act | just at the time the couple were prepar- ing to attend a Thanksgiving day din- ner at the home of friends. Had Been Seriously Il Pauley's physician said the middle- | | | for Thanksgiving dinner. Mrs. Pauley was fully dressed and apparently had started to work the cross-word puzzle while waiting for her husband to finish shaving. Their chauffeur had been ordered to have the car at the apartment house entrance, After waiting more than half an hour, he had a bellboy go to the Pauley apartment. When there was no answer to the boy's knocks, the apart- ment was entered by use of a pass key. The Pauleys had been dead about 3 minutes. Kept Deaths From Guests. At the Bode home the non-arrival of the Pauleys finally caused anxiety and Bode telephoned to the Pauley apart- ment. He returned to his other guests a moment later and said the Pauleys were delayed but for the others to go ahead. It was not until after thg dinner was ended that Bode told his guests what had happened. Pauley had been prominent socially | in_Chicago for many years. His wife, the former Elinor Ludlow, was a niece of the late Gov. Asa Bush- nell of Ohlo. She was a famed beauty and once was reported engaged to Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, a hero of the Spanish-American War, Pauley had been prominent in the coal mining industry for many years and until a few years ago was a direc- tor of the Deering Coal Co. He was an executor of the $2,000,000 estate of the late James K. Deering. John T. Connery. president of the Miami Coal Co., could assign no other motive to the tragedy than ill health.

Likewise, a cursory examination of the Pauley’s stock accounts did not in- dicate that their Josses had been ruin- ous, even though they were considerable.
