Maxwell Defense Claims Preller Alive as Insurance Plot
In Br Louis Missouri the Maxwell defense of Arthur C. Preller's alleged murder hints no murder occurred. Maxwell, via telegram from San Francisco, says a conspiracy insured payoffs and that the trunk body may be from a medical college. He promises to prove Preller alive and implicates police skepticism while asserting enough public evidence to convict. He will testify next Sunday.
