MURDERED WONlN'S
FAMILY QUESTIONED
Prosecutor Investigating Family
Life of Pastors Dead
Wife
(By The Associated Preas)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 20,
In a determined effort to solve the
mystery surrounding the death Ct
Mrs. Addie Sheatsley wife of a
prominent pastor, Prosecutor King
left here today for Paris, Ohio, to
question Mrs. Sheatsley's mother
regarding the family life of the
dead woman, who was found Mon
day cremated in the furnace at her
home. Brothers OF the murdered
woman also are to 30 questioned.
During his examination yesterday
the Rev. Sheatsley refused to agree
to the suicide theory, but today ne
called Prosecutor King to his home
shortly before the funeral hour ard
expressed the belief that his wife
had taken her life.
Prosecutor King expects to &c to
Canton tomorrow question Mrs.
Sheatsley's aged mother who I'M
til March of this year resided with
her daughter.
Further mystery was injected into
the battling case when Mrs G. r.
Allen, who lives about two miles
from the Sheatsley home, reported
to the prosecutor that on the morn
ing of the tragedy, strange man
| having the appearance of maniac
called at her home and asked for al
cid overcoat. Upon being told tina
she could not give him one, Mrs. AL
len told the prosecutor the man ask
ed to be shown the furnace room
She refused and the man jumpcC
from the porch and ian up thu
street in the general direction Of
the Sheatsley home. Police are CT
the lookout for the man
While not placing much credencc
in the story, belief was Expressed
by some that the maniac might be
at large in the city and might have
thrust Mrs. Sheatsley's body into
the furnace.
Because of its charred condition
a chemical analysis cannot be made
of the stomach of Mrs. Steatsley it
was reported. Examination of the
lungs and the aesophagus may re
veal, the police said, whether she
breathed after she entered the fire
box of the furnace.
In explaining to Prosecutor King
the cause of his reversal of opinion
from murder to suicide, Mr.. Shegts-
ley pointed to statements that in
sane person will cast themselves
upon flames.
He also said he had learned from
his ten year old daughter, Alice,
that she was attracted to the furn-
ace room by odors before the min
lister discovered the body. The girl
was then called into the room, and
Mr.. King said the minister asked
her, eff the door was not omen when
she went to the basement" She
replied it was not.
