Doctor arrested as murderer of wealthy widow
Los Angeles dispatch says Dr C M McMillan, a Chicago physician, was taken into custody as the suspect in the slaying of Amelia Appleby, Chicago widow. The body was found in a sack near Los Angeles, with indications of beating. Investigators probe real estate dealings and power of attorney papers while searching for $60,000 in jewels and tracing connections to her late husband John F. Appleby, inventor. Police note suspicions around McMillan’s movements and recent correspondence with the Appleby circle. The case ties into Mrs Appleby’s substantial Chicago property and Mr Appleby’s wealth from his Harper harvester royalties.
