ONE KILLED, ONE SERIOUSLY HURT WHEN AUTO SKIDS Mrs. George M. Keller of Chi-- cago Meets Death Near Half Day: Mrs. George M. Keler, 35 years old, of 4828 Woest Adams street, Cht cago, was killed and her husband was probably fatally injured when their automobile turned over on route 22, one and one--half miles east of Halft Day Friday evening. The accident was caused by the skidding of the machine on the rain covered pavement as the car swung around a slight curve in the road. Both were caught under the ma-- chine. Mrs. Keller it is believed lived for but a few minutes after the accident. -' X Injured Internally --' Mr. Keller was taken to the High-- land Park hospital where an exam-- ination showed that he had suffer-- ed a fracture of the pelvis, seven broken ribs and it is thought that he bas been seriously injured in-- ternally. Although pbhysicians who examined him shortly after the ac-- cident held no hopes for his recov-- ery, it was stated at the hospital this morning that he was showing slight improvement. It is feared, bhowever, that this improvement may be but temporary. The injured man is the midwest-- ern manager of the Haywood--Wake-- field Furniture company of Boston, a position which he has held for years. The couple left Chicago last eve ning for a two weeks vacation tour to be spent in Northern lllinois and Wisconsin -- lake -- resorts. They traveled north on Waukegam road to the junction of route 22 a short distance north of Deerfleld where they turned west intending to drive to route 21 at Half Day on which they would have proceeded north through Libertyville and Antioch to rear the state line. Leave Children at Home Two small children, a boy of five and a girl of three years old had been left in the care of relatives before they started their trip.

Emphatically Denies Guilt "Why it's absurd to think that I set the place on fire," he said. "What did I have to gain in burning down the plant? When the state's attorney and fire marshal question-- ed me I told them I would answer any questions they put to me on the arson charge, and 1 did and furthermore I can prove where 1 was every hour of the time before and after the fire from 8 o'clock in the evening on.

Ramsey and ective Charles Struckman, the two officers having left several days ago with extradition papers for the -- defendant's return. Moore waived an extradition hearing in To ledo, when counsel advised him that It would be useless to oppose the action. This morning the promoter was closeted for ~nearly an hour with State's Attorney George . D. Car-- bary, Deputy State Fire Marshal P. E. Bertram, D. H. Bray, of Wauke gan, a complainant on one of the confidence game charges, and John M. Detienne of Barrington, com-- plainant on the other confidence game charge. The defendant an-- swered questions freely regarding the arson charge, but declined to talk, at this time, upon the other two charges. Court Comprises Bonds After being formally booked on the charges, Moore was taken be-- fore Police Magistrate George R. Thompson and waived preliminary hearing until such time as he could sgecure legal advice.
