HUNTINGTON, Ind, Jan. 10.
Police questioned Weldon II.
Wells, arrested here this morn
ing as a suspect in connection
with the murder of Mona Simon
at Columbus, o., hotel. Police
claim they found bloodstained
handkerchiefs and revolver
with three empty cartridges in
Wells suitcase.
Wells contended stoutly that he
was not guilty. He stated that
he was willing to go back and
face the charge.
Wells, according to the police,
denies knowing anything of the
murder, but admits he registered
under the assumed name of Van
Brunt' at the Deshler hotel,
where the girl was killed.
He declared stains found on his
undershirt were paint and not
blood.
Several years ago Wells eloped
with Mamie Mentzer. Mrs. Wells
left her husband within a few
days.
That Wells is insane, is the be-
lief of his mother, Mrs. c. ID. Ben

According to the mother, she

Stone, with his dog Kato, had
found the bodies Thursday.
Mrs. Powell was leaning on a
small hammock, with a small log
under her shoulders, her right
arm across the front of her body
and her left at her side, her right
knee raised and her left leg lying
across log.
She wore khaki overalls, shirt,
high boots, mems socks, blue flan-
mel coat and cap. Powell lay
about 10 feet away, on the bank
of Mona creek, SO named for Mrs.
Powell by the searchers some days
before. His head and arm were
in the water.
With his right arm he clutched
a small limb of a tree. He wore
a gray shirt, overalls, shoes, and
a black hat.
Rifle Close BY.
The rifle lay near Mrs. Powell's
body. Seven empty cartridges
were near 1t. Four of these were
fired by Stone when he found the
bodies, to notify his partner. The
other three undoubtedly were
fired by Powell, If he killed his
wife, or, IL she shot herself, then
by the two Of them. The last
cartridge, with which he probably
shot himself, was still in the gun,
The place where the Powells
were found was not more than two
and a half miles from the little
cabin where they kept their sup
plies, and not 1900 yards from
the end of the spur track of the

men say, however, it is not strange
they could not find their way out.
Coroner Investigating.
Superfluous clothing was taken
from the bodies to make the load
for the carriers lighter, and they
were sewed in canvas and dashed
to poles.
Wit htwo men at each end of
the poles, the five-mile journey
to the Criswell ranch, near Alder,
was made in five hours of hard
and dangerous travel.
County Coroner Stewart is
making an investigation today for

This is the closed season

thetic.

said.

returned last night.

was her explanation Saturday of
her taking the terrible trip.
White has lost two other chill
dren and his mother within the
last two years. His self-control
during the strain of the search
and its stragic close has been the
subject of much remark among
his friends. He has been at his
desk every day, until he went to
the logging camp Friday.
Case of Have To.
He expressed the belief Friday
that Mrs. Powell killed herself
first and that Powell then TOOK
the gun and ended his own life.
IF Otto did kill Mona, how
ever" he said, "he was absolute
ly justified.

Mrs. White Saturday. "They must

Oh, see the pretty green-eyed
imported coyote 60 scampering
over Pierce county's prairies,
while gaily-clad Seattle hunts
men, like squires of old, follow on
their spirited steeds at the heels
of the hounds.
The sound of the huntsman's
horn, re-echoing among the
prairie beans, announced to the
good folks of Steilacoom and the
surrounding country some time
Saturday afternoon that the great
hunt is on.
He Was Worried.
In a tight wooden box at the
Steilacoom dock, all forenoon sat
the worried Mr.. Coyote, wonder
ing what fate was In store for
him, while the huntsmen and
huntswomen, logged in tight-fit-
ting riding breeches and low
crowned derby, gather about him,
anxiously scanning the horizon
for the freight barge which was
to bring them their speedy steeds
and baying hounds.
This was the situation at noon,
for the hunt had hitched.
The Seattle riders, arriving
early, gathered at the Steilacoom
dock at II this morning, ready
for the fray.
Safe in the box on an auto
they had the innocent coyote, do
mated and brought from Seattle
by Harry Whitney Treat, famed
financier and knight of the chase.
Fog to Blame.
The prey was on hand, with
nothing to hunt him with.
Fog on the water had delayed
the barge.
But woe to the wild beast when
the boat draws to the dock with
it's precious cargo of horses and
hounds.
Little does he suspect that they

Powell was an expert woods
man, and so was his wife, said
HASTE.
Powell absolutely never went
out in the woods without food and
matches, and in addition, he in
variably carried extra matches In
a corked bottle, in case he should
fall into the water or get soaked
with rain.
On Spur of Moment.
"The moment heard that these
things had been found in the
cabin, knew what had happened.
Powell had seen a deer from the
cabin door.
Possibly he had ehot and
wounded It.
Then he had called his wife
to come and bring the camera, and
they had both run out of the
cabin, dressed just as they were,
and without taking any of the
things they always carried on a
hunt, because they had no inten-
ton of going on a hunt.
But they probably followed the
deer little farther than they
thought, and in the meantime it
began to snow, and when they
turned to go back to the cabin,
they were lost.
''If they had had what they al
ways took with them on a hunt,
they could have taken care of
themselves perfectly we'll.
Preferred to Die Together.
After the first nights expos
ure they probably both had d
touch of pneumonia.
After wandering another day,
i'll and without food or fire, both
of them knew they could not live
through another night, and they
decided to end it then instead of
suffering longer, and perhaps be-
coming insane and getting separ-
ated, or one of them OUTLYING the
other.
"She must have shot herself
first, from the position of the
bullet wound under her chin,
which he could hardly have made.
Then to make sure that she was
dead. he took the gun and shot
her through the heart. That shot
was sure death.
Then he shot himself.
OF Iron Nerve.
"They both had plenty of nerve
to end it that way If they thought
best; and they both knew the
woods so well that they wouldn't
entertain any false hopes of liv-
ing through another night. They
knew the end had come, and they
preferred to meet it at once and
together"
