 Wife Dies in Flames; Police Investigating

Keister, whose charred body was found in the attic of her burning home near here yesterday after her husband had attempted suicide. The husband, who is real estate dealer, today was in a>serious condition. He added nothing to his explanation that he had told his wife to leave the house while he attempted to save val uables and that he was forced by the flames to jump from a second story window. Keister gave no reason for shooting himself.
 Finding of a stick covered with what were thought to be blood stains near Mrs. Keister's body led the au- thorities to make a more careful in- quiry Later a carpet soaked with oil was found in the attic.
