Coroner's Jury Charges Young
Man with Murder and He
Is Arraigned

A force over which he had no con-
troll, power which seemed apart from
him and yet swayed his mind, a grim
alter ego which he had long feared
was the cause of the murder of Mrs.
Frank Whaley, as stated by her hus-
oand, who is held in the c-ty Jail, the
coroner's jury having Charged him
with killing his wife, which finding
resulted in his being arraigned before
Judge Monsarrat this morning on a
charge of murder in the first degree.
He reserved his right to plead later,
and was bound over to the circuit
court.
Munching a piece of bread in the
prison yard, after the arraignment,
the young man told the story to a
preventative of the Star-Bulletin this
morning. story which, conflicting in
its details, offers puzzle to crimlnolo-
gists, who so far have not reached
accord as to whether Whaley was in
sane at the time of the woman's death.
The puzzle which he presents TO
criminologists is not alone shared in
by them. Many influential business
men have come forward to his relief.
being interested in his peculiar case,
and A. d. Larnach has been engaged
TO defend the young man. A commu-
nication will no doubt be sent to his
father on the mainland, who is fairly
well off, it is said; and It is expected
that financial aid will come from him
for the fight to be made to save his
son.
With eyes. dreamy with apparently
little perceptive force, the young man
listened to the accounts this morning
of the efforts under way to free him,
and later he freely talked, with the
same far-away gaze.
Like one who is still in the power
of dream-tragedy he talks. Now
and then as he spoke his mind seemed
10 brighten, as if by some light, only
a second later to suffer rom the pass
ing of a dark cloud over it, when he
would relapse into his often-repeated
statement that he did not kill his wife
Once he qualified that by stating
she was accidentally shot, and once
denied that he fired the fatal shot 1t
seemed on other subjects he was
clearly rational and spoke of his posi-
tion and good standing with impecca-
BILE understanding, but on the subject
of the tragedy he was uncertain, and
his dreamy eyes became more dreamy
and he was less the master of his
tongue
At one time he said that jealousy
caused heB death. and reiterated the
statement made at the .our of his ar
rest, as the corpse of his wife was
being carried from the trouble room"
of the Mutual Telephone Company,
where the shooting occurred, that she
had often =scught to take his life.
1t was Jealousy" he said. She
seemed incapable of any other senti-
ment toward me than jealousy. She
tried many times to kill me; that
know She was married once before,

have never been in trouble before. He
will understand that | am not bad,
But hate to tell him; can't some
how do it
Whaley's father is the Rev. l. T.
Whaley of Nashville. Tenn. His son
was writing him letter saying that
he had separated from his wife few
minutes before the tragedy.
