Pittsburg, Pa, August 3.-The Alle-
gheny county detectives to-day made
the startling assertion that Edna Wal
lace did not murder DR.. George Mur-
ray Stuart of Virginia. They declare
that the woman and man, while they
were asleep in his bachelor apart
nents. were killed by one of the wo-
mans numerous admirers. This man,
according to the county detectives, had
threatened 10 XIII the Wallace woman
times without number If she did not
give up DR.. Stuart.
Contrary 10 the statement that DR..
Stuart knew the Wallace woman but a
year. an extended investigation has
elected the information that she was
infatuated with DR.. Stuart almost from
the moment he arrived in Pittsburg.
about five years ago. DR.. Stuart Is
said to have arrived in Pittsburg with
the wife Of Baltimore man, who had
become infatuated with him while he
WAS student in the College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons at Baltimore.
shortly before his graduation this wo-
man is alleged to have persuaded him
TO come 10 Pittsburg, and she left her
husband for him. This scandal was
hushed UP. and afterwards the woman
is said to have returned To her hus-
band.
Jewels Missing.
The investigation which makes the
county detectives believe the dual
crime was a double murder and not a
murder and suicide was caused through
the disappearance of $1,000 worth OF
la n10nCS reionvipr be n
her will, which was probated to-day.
these diamonds were left to sister
of the woman, Mrs. John 2. Ober, the
wife Of a former wealthy brewer OF
Pittsburg. When Mrs Ober demanded
the diamonds 1T was found that they
had disappeared. Further Investigation
pointed TO the fact that they were last
seen In the possession OF a man who
had been a friend of the woman.
In trying TO and this man to dema nd
the return OF the diamonds, the police
ascertained that he and the Wallace
woman had violent quarrel last Sat
urday night. and he was heard to say:
If you don't give up Stuart l will
XIII you. and If I ever find him with
you l will kill both OF you"
Tue woman's answer was defiant,
she telling him ito so as far as you
like. would rather die with him
than without him"
Since Saturday night all traces of
this man have been lost. When found
ne Will be requested to account for his
time from Saturday night until some
time after the bodies of DR.. Stuart and
Edna Wallace were found
The theory Of the police is also
strengthened by the fact that the man
under suspicion is known to have pos
sessed a revolver similar to the one
with which the shooting was done.
