solely responsible for Saturdays wreck

An investigation was conducted all

A statement was given out by Mr..
Stevens in which he. as general coun-

the reasons for blaming the freight
crew for the wreck.
The prosecutors OF Wayne and lonia

The probable cause OF the delay of
the freight which led TO the wreck was
the unloading OF a car Of gravel a
mile east of the scene OF the wreck.

She Becomes SulIen and Says Very
little-Opinicn Of the Authorities
in the Matter.

Mrs. William Washburn, who in her
SO years has been the wife of seven
different men, is now going back on
her story that No. 6 husband, Alkall
Bill Shimmel, murdered No. 5, who
was Ira Reynolds A few days ago
in the Kent county jail she told in
detail story of how one night Shin
mel called Reynolds TO the door OF
their house near Grand Haven and
killed him with club, then took the
body away in a bob sled.
Now Mrs. Washburn says that she
is not sure whether Shimmel was the
murderer or not, 1T might have been
some other man. It's SO long ago
can't remember clearly is the way
she expressed it.
The prosecuting authorities have
long had a suspicion that Shimme
killed Reynolds. Mrs. Shimmel talked
freely when brought to the Jail. Now
she is sullen and saying little. II is
not clear now how reliance can be pu
in anything she tells from now on.
