POLICE GET SOME LIGHT ON THE
MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY NEAR
NEWARK.
W0MAN'S HUSBAND IS HELD
TELLS POLICE STORY WHICH
DECIDE THEM TO KEEP HIM
IN CUSTODY.

Newark, N. j., Jan. 5.-After half
dozen supposed identifications had
been disproved, the police were salts
fed last night that the woman muir
dered on the fats near Harrison was
Helena Salter Whitmore. who. with
her husband, Theodore s. Whitmore
conducted furnished room house in
Brooklyn. The Identification was
made by the woman's sister, Mrs. Su
san Schmitter Of the Bronx, and cor
roborated by Mrs. Schmitter's hus
band Martin, Frank Englert. a friend
and finally by the murdered woman's
husband.
Husband Is Suspected.
Following searching examination
during which many incidents of his
life were laid bare, Theodore S. Whit
more, the husband, was held by the
police as a suspect. Whitmore, hav
ing definitely identified his wife, was
vigorously questioned by the authors
ties. The nature of his testimony de
termined the police to keep him with
in the jurisdiction of the courts.
With touch of emotion that added
to the puzzling features of one of the
strangest crimes with which the po
lice have had to deal. Whitmore told
the police Of his struggle to live down
an unpleasant past and how faith
less wife had held over his head a
threat of exposure, to make known to
new acquaintances here what he now
admits, that he was serving sen
tence in Dannemora prison when par
doned by Gov. Black.
infatuated With Sailor.
Bitter quarrels and as many recon
citations marked their married life OF
fifteen years.
His wife, he said, had become infat
uated with sailor known to him only
as Harry" but when she returned
home at Christmas, following a five
days absence he greeted her with q
merry Christmas"
She failed to respond and they quar-
relied on the street. Later they eff
fected truce and had dinner to
gether. Then he went out on an er

house she had left never to return.
He said that on the day his wife
disappeared he had given her SIS. He
knew absolutely nothing, he said, Of
how she came to be in New Jersey OF
of the manner of her death.
Mrs. Schmitter furnished the police
with what is believed to be most i'm
portant information. She told of a
series of letters and kilograms, pur
porting to come from Mrs. Whitmore
but some of which must have been
written after her death. A trunk be
longing to Mrs. Whitmore had also
been sent mysteriously to her home
Mrs. Schmitter said.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Allegation OF
fraud and graft in supplying the Du
reau of engraving and printing with
black dry color used in the manulac'
lure OF ink, resulted yesterday IN the
indictment by the federal grand jury
here of Edwin NJ. Vandyck, formerly
chemist and inkmaker employed IN
the bureau, and Victor Bloede, presl-
dent of the Victor Bloede company,
manufacturers of fine inks and colors.
Vandyck and Bloede are charged IN
the indictments with conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. the allegation
being that they entered into an agree
ment by which Bloede was to pay
Vandyck a percentage of the money
his company received from the gov
eminent for the black dry color fur
nished to the bureau of engraving and
printing.
Gets $4,000 Out of II.
Vandyck, it is alleged, in his posi-
ton of chemist and inkmaker of the
bureau, had to pass upon the samples
of the color submitted by various
manufacturers. 1t is charged that he
fraudulently favored the Baltimore
company, and that as a result of the
conspiracy he was paid by Bloede in
the course Of several years between
between $4,000 and $4,000
The indictment purports to give de-
tails of the transaction between Van
dyck and Bloede as to payments
made the former. 1t appears that
vandyck received his commission in
the form of checks. which after be-
ing Endorsed he would return to the
Bloede company and receive in lieu
thereof New York drafts.
Something Just as Good.
Attorneys for both Vandyck and
Bloede appeared before Justice Stat.
ford yesterday and agreed to $4,000
bail The attorneys asserted that the
indictments were of technical ma
ture, and that the alleged fraud did
not involve necessarily a loss to the
government. They claimed that the
bureau received the best colors OBJ,
tainable at price 10 cents less per
pound than it had paid prior to the
making of contracts with the Bloede
company.
