Recently Geister had remarked to a friend: “Do not be surprised if you see my name in the headlines in Newspapers.” A lock of blonde halr was found an envelope in Geisler’s pocket. PPFn the envelope was written: “In case of accident or death place this under my pillow.” Mrs. de Cordova's hair was blonde. GEISLER'S WIFE ASKED SEPARATION Authorities also were informed Geisler had some trouble with his wife and she brought action seeking fan allowance pending a suit for sep &ration on grounds of cruelty. That Geisler and Mrs. de Cortova had made a previous pilgrimage to the spot on the road where the shoot- ’ ing took place Monday night, was Btated by several persons today. Several persons who pagsed the auto, backed into the bushes along side the road shortly before the shoot- Ang, were found by officials, Mrs. Geisler was expected here | shortly to claim her husband's body. . e-e NEW YORK, July 14—“Infatua- tion of the chauffeur for a woman who never returned it.” That was the motive for the mur- @er of Mrs. Arthur de Cordova, wife of a wealthy New York broker, and the suicide of Bernard Geisler, her chauffeur, according to a statement today by attorneys for the dead wom- an's husband. De Cordova returned to New York Tate last night with the woman's body. Later he held a two-hour con- ference with Mrs. Geisler, the chauf- feur's widow. Neither would disclose the subject of the conference, "DEMO NOMINEE PANS HARDING Gov. Cox Makes Stinging Attack on G. 0.

For three months out of each year, all George does is pick roses. Yes, land he gets paid for it, too, paid just for picking rosea! There are about two acres of rose bushes on the university campus, jand during the blooming season, |which is at its height from the mid: die of June until the middle of Aug ust. the head gardener just picks roses every minute. There are roses on the campus during every month of the year, Warner says, but from the first of June until the middle of Oc- tober, there are thousands of them, and during the two particular months mentioned there are almost too many. KEEP ‘EM FROM GETTING SICK To keep the bushes tn good blos- soming condition, it is necessary to cut the undesirable blossoms twice & week during the summer, Warner .|claims, and it takes one man just three days to go over the entire field. So just a» moon as George finishes one round, he has to start all over again. “I Uke to take care of the plants,” Warner said; “I like to watch them grow. I feel fine when I set out a plant and know that when I come back in a certain length of time afterwards, it will have flowers on healthy, too.
