Police say the August killing of wealthy attorney William L. Rice near his Euclid Heights mansion was a premeditated act of revenge not robbery. Witnesses describe a foreign man lurking behind the house before four shots, with two bullets found in Rice's body and others used as signals to accomplices. Rice and his four daughters planned to return from Wianno, Mass., as a $5,000 reward was posted by Judge Blandin, Frank H. Gino, and S. B. Zerbe for the capture of the killers.
