left them there. While on the way t,
the Jail Mrs. O'Malley tore up pawn
tickets and scattered the bits of paper

Philadelphia, the former for 1925 ana
the latter for $25.
Hearin Taken by Ruse.
After Officer Butler had taken Mrs.
O'Malley to the police station he went
10 the Broad street station to inter-
i, cept Hearin, who was to meet Mrs
OMalley and take the train for Chi
| cago. The officer had been at the sta
ton but moment when Hearin walked
In. The officer told the young man
that he was a hostler in the employ
of DR.. Joseph O'Malley and had come
to inform him that Mrs OMalley was
| very sick at st. Agnes hospital and
| wanted to see him. The two entered
a cab and drove away. The young
| man was very nervous and urged the
driver to great speed. 1t was rot until
after the hospital was passed that
| Hearin suspected anything was wrong
and then he turned on the officer furi-
ously and demanded:
| What does this mean, sir? What
| outrage is being perpetrated on me?"
You are under arrest, young man,
| and must go with me to the police sta
tion," replied the officer. you are ac-
/ cused of completely in the theft of dia-
monds and jewelry from d.. Joseph
O'Malley and of attempting to eIope
with Mrs. Austin O'Malley"
The prisoner settled back liz the cab
at this and made no more fuss
The young man was examined later
and admitted that the diamonds and

pin for 500 before leaving New York.
! When pressed with questions concern

he had been implicated in a college

From information elcited from Hear
in the detectives believe that Hearin
and Mrs O'Malley were on their way
/ to this city to obtain pos session of
property belongings to the woman and
that they intended to elope.
Arouse First Suspicious.
Mrs. O'Malley aroused the first sus-
| picionS concerning her husbands sick
ness. AS she was deferred from en-
tering the cab on her way to the sta
ton she made scene and during the
! time, remarked:
81 suppose you'll be blaming me for
my husbands illness next!"
l. This sentence set the police officer to
| thinking deeply. This cnance remark
led to Investigations and these, it is
! averred, may lead to a more serious
charge than that of theft being placed
against the wife of the noted critic.
States Attorney George e. Clarke
of this city has been working on the
case early and late, assisted by Frank
| O'Malley, of Philadelphia, brother of
! the sick man. They have unearthed
many damaging circumstances con-

says the evidence will be presented
before the grand jury or st. Joseph
| county at the proper time and that
body will determine whether the wo-
man will be brought back to this city
| to answer the grave charge of attempt
| ing to poison her husband or not.
'It looks now" said Mr.. Clarke, "as
though the case was one in which three
| states would take a hand. If as is
| charged, the woman was married when
she welded DIR. O'Malley the laws of
New York have been violated and she
must go there to be tried. If she has
| administered arsenic to her husband
the state of Indiana will call her to
account, and Pennsylvania is now prob
ing the charge of larceny alleged
against her."
Hearin Popular at Cornell.
William j. Hearin, the young man
| who figures so prominently in the sem
sational story, is a handsome young
fellow. of the blond type. He is the
son of William II. F. HearYn, business
partner of William A. Ellis, the father
of Mrs. O'Malley. 1t was never mis-
trusted that the two had any infatu-
alton for each other and the parents
were astounded at the revelation.
The young man registered for a
course in civil engineering in Sibley
college, Cornell, a year ago last fall.
He was a jolly, happy go lucky fellow

ruary. He associated with fast sec
of young men and took very active
part in society affairs. He was a
member of the Alpha TAU omega fra
