of David Detrick and wife, which
has remained mystery nearly

admissions of a convict in California

reticent regarding the matter, but

Sheriff N. p. Humphreys are on their
way to California to investigate.
A convict in the state penitentiary
In that state has, little by little, been
telling the details of the crime to his
cellmate for about three years. The
cellmate has been keeping the warden
of the prison in touch with the devel-
opments of the story and the details
have become so minute that the COM
missioners of Logan county sent the
prosecutor and the sheriff, to get, If
possible, a confession from the man
who claims to have participated in the
crime and who says he knows all
about 1t.
The cellmate hopes to get the 81, 600

STAYS WIFE IN JEALOUS RAGE
HUSBANDS SUICIDE FOLLOWS
DEATH OF WOMAN.
Tho Woman Attempted to Take Poison
but Was Frustrated by Her
Husband.

Willoughby, O.-Jealousy of long
quarrels. drove Charles p. Corlett,
president of the Corlett Engineering
Co. and a member of one of Cleve-
lands oldest families, to shoot his
wife, then himself in their rooms in
the Kingsley hotel at Willoughby Mon
day night. Death came to both almost
instantly. Corlett was 40 and his wife
50.
Every known fact in the tragedy
points to deliberate intent-to a con-
viction which had settled on them
both, that their life together must
end. Monday afternoon after her hus-
band had returned Mrs. Corlett tried
to anticipate the end by taking four
tablets of corrosive sublimate. But
the husband foiled the attempt,
secured help and saved her life that
he might take 1t himself just as he
had planned.
1t was the old story-the high spir-
tied woman who was tired tired of
tho one man she had linked to, tired
of fretting her life away in the
monotony and humdrum OF a country
village alone, while her husband
worked all day in the city.
The visit of another man late Sun
day afternoon, detected by the hus-
band, precipitated the tragedy.
The woman, French-Italian by birth,
beautiful, talented, of superb presence
and figure, was kept in the rooms of
the country hotel among people who
did not care for gayety. for excite
ment, which was as the breath of life
to her.
The husband, giant in stature, six
feet four in height, weighing over $50
pounds, brilliant, man who had made
and lost two or three fortunes, and
was rising to place in his new profes-
sion as an architect and engineer, was
madly in love with his wife, whom he
was away from all day.
The end was a grewsome, horrible
thing that stirred the quiet village to
its depths. The lights, as the police
and hotel people broke in, showed the
woman full length on the sofa, the
blood from two gaping wounds in her
temple crimsoning her purple loung-
ing gown. 1t showed the man, pitt
full, crumpled thing on the floor with
a bullet that went clear through his
head, his face was against the couch
where mis- wife lay.
