Powell, Meth- odist minister. ‘The pastor phoned officers to tell them he had just received a phone call from a woman whose voice he recog- | nized as that of Mrs. Dumont. She! said, he reported, that she had just killed her husband and was about to shoot herself, Police: arrived to find Dumont shot once through the head and his wife shot twice through the head. She died shortly afterward. Authorities said it was evidently murder and suicide, but were puzzled by the fact that Mrs. Dumont had been shot once through the back of the head. A vase was broken against the wall, indicating a struggle, they said. A note was found scrawled on an envelope, supposedly by Mrs. Dumont, saying: “He tried to poison me. That's why these terrible headaches.” Mrs, Dumont had been in ill heaith. ‘The couple’s 8-year-old son was drowned three years ago in the Ohio River while they were living at Uniontown, Ky. Mr. and Mrs. Dumont separated after the | drowning, but were reunited 18 months | Iater at Cincinnati. i Dumont was an assoclate clvilian engineer attached to the United States | Army Engineer's office here. | THOMPSON ASSAILS | FOES OF FARM ACT| V.

Thompson, ident of the American Farm: Bureau eration, in a letter calling upon all members to fight what he termed “our econmic enemies.” Terming the various steps against the operation of the act “a serious challenge to &rgflniud agriculture,” Thompson wrote: “Already great speculative groups that have, year by year, profited at the ex- nse of agriculture through fluctua- ons in the price of produce of the farm see the handwriting on the wall. They have openly and definitely de-| clared war on this policy. It is up to the farmers of the Nation whether this policy shall stand or whether it shall be destroyed.” WILL INSPECT PLANTS The first of a series of visits to District ndustrial plants will be made Wednes- day afternoon by members of the com- = ufactures of the Wash- gtor by John A.
