PARTI 3 FORTUNE IN GEMS SEEN AS MOTIVE IN MURDER SUNDAY, JUNE 1 0, 1 945 Mrs. Langford gave large gifts of money to a number of aspiring young male artists. All of these gifts she recorded in a series of notebooks which have kept police busy questioning the recipients. For the person or persons who unravel the case Mrs. Langford promised a $10,000 reward.

NEW YORK, June 9. JFh-A fortune in jewels, including a $23,000 diamond and emerald bracelet, may have been the motive behind the slaying of textile executive Albert E. Langford, police theorized today as they sought for the key to the five-day-old mystery. Wealthy Marion Langford, patron of the arts and widow of the slain man, was known to wear the bracelet frequently in public places. Other jewels, antiques and art works worth an estimated $100,000 were in her Hotel Marguery apartment, police said.

Police placed under surveillance today all known jewel thieves. They hope for a lead which will result in identification of the two men who went to the apartment on the night of the murder and asked to see Mrs, Langford. Meanwhile, a high police offi cial said "attempted blackmail" may have been the motive. I President Cites Free Press Need WASHINGTON, June 9.
