Song Writer Dies of
Torture Inflicted by Robbers
Chicago, Sept. 26.—That W. H.
Purcell, who was found dead in his
apartment on the North Side, last
Monday, died from heart disease
while he was being tortured In an
effort to make him disclose the hid
ing place of a fortune in securities
and cash, was the new theory on
which the police started work yes
terd.v in their effort to clear up the
death of the wealthy song writer
and real estate man.
The hew and startling explanation
of the crime was advanced follow
ing the discovery that $25,000 in
liberty Bonds which Purcell had
secreted in his apartment were
missing. The police believe thieves
learned the hiding place of the
bonds from their victim and were
trying to force further Information
from him when he died of heart
disease.

dent Wilson making the food-control

ing and profiteering.
Mr. Palmer will meet a committee
representing the association of State
Attorneys General here October 6

Governments can co-operate in pun
ishing hoarders and profiteering.

will conduct an investigation.
The body has not been recovered.
