Wife Of Murdered Man and
Friendly Male boarder
Tangled Up IN Romance
Which Assumes a Dark
Crimson Hue

Newark, N. J., Feb. 2-For over five
hours today the police subjected Mrs.
Mary Wilhelm to searching examina-
ton in an effort to obtain evidence that
would lead to the arrest of ally in the
Staying of her husband, Frank Will
helm, contractor and justice of the
peace, who was found dead in his Gel
lar by his wife yesterday with bullet
hole in his head.
The first development in the case came
today when the police learned from Mrs.
Sarah Dillon of ew York, that Nicholas
Sicca, boarder at the Wilhelm home,
and Mrs. Wilhelm were friendly and
that the contractor had threatened to
sue for divorce and named Sicca as CO.
respondent. Sicca was taken into Gus
tody by the police.
According to the police, Mrs Will
helm said that she had been friendly
with Sicca and that he promised to
marry her if Wilhelm obtained di-
vorce. Her examination developed that
the property supposed to have been own
ed by her husband stood in her name.
Mrs. Wilhelm said the 1ast time she
saw her husband was in New York on
Sunday, but later she said she saw him
at her home yesterday, she thought.
Sicca, the police say, admitted he
was at the Wilhelm home at 8 o'clock
yesterday and talked with Wilhelm and
his wife for few minutes, after which
he left. At 3 o'clock and 6 O'Clock
Sicca stated he called at several places.
1fne physicians state Wilhelm was killed
some time after 3 and before 6 o'clock
The police state he will be arraigned
tomorrow and formal charges will be
preferred against him unless evidence
can be obtained to substantiate his story
of his whereabouts after leaving the
Wilhelm home.
