took up the threads Of the probe
today where they left before the
holiday.
The prosecutor said there were
no further clues to be followed un-
til after Doctor H. M. Brundage,
pathologtSt, and G. F.. Long, chem
list, report their findings from lab
ratory tests OF the blood found In
a fruit jar lid in the parsonage and
and the two guinea pigs which
were thrown alive into the furnace
to determine IL carbon monoxide
gas would register on their lungs.
Mrs. Sheatsley's lungs contained no
monoxide, leading to the belief that
she was dead when her body en-
tered the furnace.
DenOuement Soon.
While Prosecutor. King would not
confirm or deny the rumor, 1t was
reported the next few days win re.
suit either in sensational revelations
or abandonment OF the Investigation
with a verdict Of suicide.
If the scientists report indicates
that the blood is not that of a
human being and that u may have
been possible for the minister's wife
to have crawled into the fire with
out monoxide gas registering on
her lungs, it is understood The in
yestigation will be brought to a
close because Of lack Of evidence
that Mrs. Sheatsley met death by
any other means.
Sheatsley who. with his family,
returned to the parsonage from
Paris, Ohio, for Thanksgiving Day,
said today he would speak in the
chapel at Capitol University at
1880 o'clock next Monday morning.
1t will be his first public speech
since his wife's death. Students
and newspaper men viii comprise
the audience.
Although he declined to make
public the purpose of the lecture,
he said no mention would be made
OF Mrs. Sheatsley's tragic death,

fined 500 in default to serve S64
days, upon q conviction for plain
intoxication, according to the word
ing of the law.
Reckless Driving Law.
Argument over the status Of the
reckless driving law as compared
to the colliding law has been
offered. It has been said that the
colliding law was repealed by the
former regulation. That is, il q
person so carelessly operates his
automobile as to cause it to collide
with another automobile or person,
thereby endangering the life or
property OF that person, it has
been said that he is not only
guilty of colliding but reckless
driving.
A plan for the adjustment Of the
colliding law which cases, in turn
shall be covered by a sliding scale
on the reckless driving law, IL
therein suggested, and may be
taken under advisement.
In well-advised quarters, the re-
volung OF persons driving per-
NIT by the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia Is scoffed at.
1t has been said that the Commits
sioners have feared to go through
the Court of Appeals in the matter
OF revolking a permit, and that
where opposition is met the Ere
yoked" permit has been returned.
1t Is understood that request
will be made Of the next Congress
giving the Commissioners explicit
right to revoke a permit.
The police have often complained
about the present system Of col
lateral forfeitures, in which custom
has denied the officer the right to
re-arrest a man on an attachment
from the bench il the man has
posted and forfeited the maximum
collateral,
Collateral System Abused.
That the collateral system is
generally abused is q known fact
as custom allows even the most will
full violator to go soot-free if he has
cash to put up at the station house.
Now IL 1t were not left to the dis
erection Of the officer who makes the
arrest, but each arrogant violator
of the law music be bought into
court, one situation would be relieved.
} At the present time it is within
the power Of the police to designate
which offenders shall be brought into
court. The arresting policeman, be-
lieving he has come to an agra.
waited case may apply to the Cor
poration Counsel for an attachment.
The Corporation Counsel may then
make a motion before the court for
an attachment and If the request is
allowable the attachment or bench
warrant will be granted.
The amount Of collateral, whether
1t be maximum or not, has no bear
ing on such cases.
Need for Extra Judge.
Steps to have an auxiliary Judge
appointed appear to be we1l-founded
as the records OF the traffic court
show an increase Of $500 cases for
this year, over a corresponding
period last year. Ending November
] Of last year, 24,3i2 cases were
docketed.. A total OF 28,S67 cases
have been filed during the same
length OF time this year. This in
crease will be comparatively larger
by the end OF the year.
So FAR this year 21S cases have
been disposed Of where the charge
Of leaving after a collision is made
compared to 24S cases for the
whole OF last year. For ten months
OF this year there have been 253
cases Of reckless driving and 491
cases Of driving while drunk. A
total OF $40 cases. or only "a less
than for the whole Of last year
