CATION of the mysterious cremation
of Mrs. Addie Sheatsley, 80. wife of
c. v. Sheatsley, pastor of Christ's
Lutheran church, Bexley, a suburb.
whose charred body was found by
Mr.. Sheatslev in the furnace at their
home Monday, was at a standstill to-
night awaiting removal tonight of
Prosecutor John X. King from Cam
ton, where he has been questioning
members of the Sheatsley family.
On his return, Prosecutor King
will be handed report of Columbus
chemists who made an examination
of the lungs and aesophagus of Mrs.
Sheatsley in an effort to determine
whether she breathed after entering
the fire box. On findings of the chem
lists will depend to a large extent,
Mr.. King has announced, what flu

vestigation. He has said that If it is
found Mrs. Sheatsley did breathe in
the furnace it will strengthen the
contention of the coroner that she
was suicide, while IL traces of car
bon monoxide are not found it would
tend to prove that she might have
teen dead before the body was plac-

The tentative agreement, which
was submitted to Governor Flynn

based on matters to be considered by
the general court before adjourn
ment. The Republican cOnferees pro-
posed that nothing but appropriation
measures be taken up and that the
legislature adjourn at once after
passing appropriation bills totaliing
about $2,O00,O00. The Democratic
conferees asked that in addition To-
the money measures the legislature
pass the Strayer school bill, affecting

been agreed upon by the two politi-

QUIT SEARCH FOR
BODY OF SANbORN
ON COTE FARM
Sheriff Believes Further Effort
in This Direction Is Useless
Clues to Cote Killing Will

Signed Confession

Portland, Me-. Nov. 21.-Any fur
Their digging or dynamiting ON the
Cote farm at West Gorham, scene
Of the murder OF Alphonse Cote. and
where it was believed the body of
William B. Sanborn, first husband of
Mrs. Cote, might be buried. is un-
warranted and unjustified at the
present time, Sheriff King F. Graham
said today.
Deputy sheriffs were ordered to
cease the operations which they
started early this week In an effort
to run down clues and rumors that
Sanborn may have been slain, and
his body buried as was that of Cote.
This order from the sheriff came
soon after the request had been
made ny Percival Z. Sanborn. OF
Beverly, Mass, brother of the miss
ing man, that the old well on the
Cote farm be dug out.
Unless something really tangible
Is given u.s. said Sheriff Graham
I'VE will proceed no further. Moth
ing can come of 1t anyway. We
have done everything reasonable tc
find the body.
IF we were successful in finding
the remains and were even able tc
identify them as those of Sanborn, ],
would be impossible to convict any
one in connection with his death
We have tried to clear up the mys
terry as regards Sanborn, and thai
has been our reason for going this
far. We will continue to follow out
every clue that has any connection
with the Cote killing, however"
Mrs. Cote announced tonight
through her attorney, Harry L. Nix
on, that she has not signed con
fession. She declares that she did
not sign a document admitting that
she had trouble with her husband
and wished to be separated from him
because of his abuse of her children
and his constant nagging over money
matters. She also admitted that she
had a quarrel with William Sanborn
her first husband the night before he
disappeared.
Mrs. Charles Fl. Fielding. Jr.
whose husband is held for the muir
der OF Cote. said tonight she would
stick by her husband. She asserted
she had not known of any undue
friendship between him and Mrs
Cote.

Washington, Target
Ship, Still Afoat
DESPITE BOmbardment

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 21-Showing a
list of about n degrees, the hull of
the superdreadnaught Washington
still was afioat tonight off the VII
ginia Capes despite two heavy at
tacks by the battleship Texas which
today continued tests began yester-
day to determine the effect of 14-inch
shell fire on the new type, of armor
used in construction Of the ship.
Tons of big projectiles were hurled
at the helpless.vesse1 during one hour
of almost continuous bombardment
in the morning and again in the aft
ernoon. Particles Of armor plate
were torn from the side of the ship
and hurled high into the air and in
two instances shells passed through
the entire ship but these generally
were scored at points weakened by
the bombardment of yesterday.
Whether the list was caused by
water taken into the hull or was due
to the loss of weight on the side as
result Of the displaced armor, could
not be learned here tonight.
The best hits were registered by
the Texas this afternoon. Some or
the shells struck in places weakened
by the terrific battering OF the pre-
ceding day and it was two of these
that passed through the ship. leav-
ing clear holes above the water line.
Experts who examined the target
after the shooting said had the en-
gines been in place they undoubtedly
would have been wrecked. .
Despite this. proponents OF the new
type of ship hold that the result of
the four periods of bombardment
have demonstrated conclusively their
claim of the superiority of the armor
used.
A radio message today from the
Texas asked that bombing planes be
sent out either tomorrow or Sunday
to complete the work of destruction
and this was taken here as an indica-
ton that the Texas would not con-
duct further bombarding for the
tests. Machines to be sent, and the
exact time of departure could not be
learned here tonight. these decisions
