King expected to examine the
clergyman and his two sons, Mil
ton, twenty. and Clarence, sixteen.
in an attempt to substantIate the
information he received from
Charles and Harry Sponseller
brothers OF Mrs. SheatsIey, last
night. The Sponsellers rode from
Columbus to Canton with the two
young men in an automobile, and
while King refused to reveal what
he had learned, 1t was thought that
the sons of Mrs. Sheatsiey had added
something to the stories they had
already told In Columbus.
It was Clarence Sheatsley who
first discovered his mothers burn
ing body in the furnace. His sis
tiers were in the house at the time,
but he told them nothing about his
discovery, and 1t was only when
his father returned from round

year-old mother Of Mrs. Sheatsley

lived with her daughter until last
June and that she had never heard
the minister say an unkind word
to her daughter, to his family or
to herself. She said she was await
ing with interest an opportunity
to again visit her daughter in Col.
umbus when word Of the death
came.
Prosecutor King declined to
divulge information secured from
two brothers OF the dead woman
who went TO Columbus after news
of their sisters death came to
Canton and who upon their return
brought back Milton and Clarence
Sheatsley with them. The latter
two are sons Of the Reverand
Sheatsley.

Whether or not the brothers
secured the important information, :"
OF which King spoke, the prosecutor
declined to state. King said he
would stay here several days. The
Sheatsley family will not return
to Columbus until Monday, it was
said here today.
King expects at noon today to
have before him the report of the
chemists who are examining the
stomach, lungs and aeaophagus OF
Mrs. Addie Sheatsley to determine
whether she was dead when the
body entered the furnace.
