Police Believe the Woman

Harry Schieb, Chauffeur. Arrested-His

Clews in Mystery.

New York, May 3l.--After Is hours
investigation, following the discovery OF
the body of Mrs. Henry Schieb in the
bathtub OF a vacant flat early yester-
day morning, the police had at mid
night last night, worked up but few
clews. 1t was determined that the chem
ica with which Mrs. Schieb's body had
been terribly burned was a strong solu-
ton of lime, and it is believed the
woman had been dead several months,
possibly since last Christmas when, so
far as the police were able to learn, in
a canvass of the tenants of the build
ing, she was last seen alive
Her husband, a chauffeur who is I'M
der arrest in connection with the al
legged murder, declares that his wife left
him on the second of March and he had
not seen or heard from her since until
confronted with the body yesterday.
The body was found lying face down
In the tub with one leg hanging over the
edge. In the bottom of the tub was
solution, believed to be acid, which
burned the hands of the policemen who
lifted the body out. Dir. Brown of the
Presbyterian hospital, who was called
in soon after the body was discovered,
said that it must have lain in the tub
for many weeks. 1t was nude>a and not
a particle Of woman's clothing was found
in the rooms.
Daniel Smith, the janitor and watch
man in the building found the body.
He told the police that on Feb 2, last,
Schieb informed him that his wife had
been summoned to Cleveland, O., on &C.
count of the illness of relative Schieb
said that he would live elsewhere with
friends during his wifes absence, but
would not give up the apartment, The
rent was payable weekly, and Sehieb
usually was very prompt in his pay
ments, but one day about a month ago,
according to Smith he asked the jani-
tor not to enter his apartment If he
failed to come around on rent day.
Il may be a day or two late once in
while,' Smith quotes the chauffeur as
saying MY job takes me out of town
once in while. Don't go into my
rooms. though, and III come around
and settle all right
Schieb was taken down to police head
quarters and questioned at length about
his wife. He talked very freely. He
said that his wife was p years old
and an orphan. He thought she had
some relatives but he was not sure who
they were or where they lived. Her
maiden name was Lillian Glover and
she was reared in convent at Hol.
