In SHEATSLEY
MURDER CASE
Nv United i:ress Leased Wire

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 10
The suicide theory was practically
abandoned in the Shcatsley furnace
mystery today.
Convinced that Rev. C. V. Sheats-
lev's wife was murdered and her
body stuffed in on top the Goa IS
of the parsonage furnace, police
and Prosecutor John II. King con
tinued their investigation.
King was careful to point out
that he now believes " solution of
the mystery lies outside the pas
tors family. Rev. Sheatslev and
his four children have furnished
acceptable alibis showing that Mrs.
Sheatslev s body was placed in the
furnace during their absence, King
said.
In abandoning the suicide theory,
the county prosecutor explained
that there was never trace of in
sanity in Mrs. Sheatslcy's family
and that it would have been physi-
callv impossible for her to crawl
through the If inch square of the
furnace door and deliberately pull
the door shut upon herself while
the flames played about her body
The only theory which authorities
would make public was that a dege'
nerate may have slipped into the
parsonage between l:45 and 81.
D. IN. Monday while all except the
pastor s wife were absent. He may
have attacked Mrs. Sheatsley and
thrust her dead or unconscious body
into the furnace.
In an attempt to find some cleW
in substantiation of this theory
King was to question again f. f
Brideweher, student ut Capita
University, where the pastor has
Bible class, and G. o. Strader, de
livery man for 4 Columbus bakery

IN WEEKS MARKET
Reactionary Tendencies Crop
Out in StockS-B0nds
Show Broad Strength.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 1s.-Reac-
tionary tendencies prevailed in this
weeks sessions of the stock, market.
although special strength developed
in several issues subject to individual
influences. Bond prices strengthened
European buying and low money
rates.
The sharp setback in stock prices
on Monday was generally attributed
to the correction of weakened
technical position resulting from two
months of almost steadily rising
prices. Partial recovery was made
in the next few sessions, but the gen.
eral list turned heavy again toward
the close of the week.
Operators on the long side of the
market were inclined to reduce their
commitments. pending a more def
mite indication of the trend of busi-
ness this spring. This profit taking
encouraged resumption of short
selling, which was particularly ef-
fective in stocks of oil companies
owning Mexican properties.
Trade news was rather mixed In
creased activity and higher pig iron
prices were reported by the steel in
dustry, which, with the payment of
tne last Dack dlFloend on Repub bic
Steel preferred, brought fresh buying
into the steel group. Oil shares were
helped by the further upward re-
vision of crude oil and gasoline
prices.
Freight car loadinss for the first
week in January showed another
decrease under the corresponding
period last year. Southern. railway.
crossed 43 to new high record for
all time. Lehigh Valley and Reading
issues also were strong. Sales of
copper below 13 cents a pound had
a depressing effect on the copper
shares.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 1s.-Anticipated
january declines occurred during the
week in the butter market, which
closed weak and unsettled. with fine
butter prices materially lower. Buy
ers confined their operations to imme7
diate requirements and took losses to
keep stocks moving. -
A material increase in production
was reported. actual increase in the
milk flow, arrival of storm-delayed
cream at factories and the milk strike
in Chicago were given as reasons.
Invasion Of foreign butter was large
ly responsible for the weakening of
the domestic markets, although actual
arrivals Of foreign-make were light.
New York received $500 boxes Argen-
tine and 1872 casks Danish, but there
was considerable Danish in the hands
of dealers. Reports indicate that up
ward of $4,000 casks Danish will be
available next week.

BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. January 1s.-The
check which has clearly appeared in
the Wall street markets during the
last week has not been due to out
side causes. 1t has simply meant
that operations for the rise had been
going faster and, in some case, fur
ther than the facts of the situation
justified.
The stock market had got out ef
touch with the idea OF 1924 as merely
IA year of satisfactory business vol
ume and moderate profits. 1t was
rushing ahead as If anticipating
boom. The sharp setback of last
Monday and the caution which char
actcrized the dealings later in the
;of things more truly rejecting actual
trade prospects.
Exchange Weeks biggest Feature.
OF more interest than anything
else that has happened during the
week was the collapse In the French
! frame and the partial recovery fol-
/ lowing the adoption of a rigorous
corrective program by the French
cabinet.
Up to the very last spokesman for
the government and French financial
, writer's had refused to see anything
serious about the decline in the franc.
! They had ascribed II in the earlier
, stages to manipulate and specula-
| ton. They had stuck to the text that
the fall was unwarrauted. On this
SIDE. of the water the same sort of
thing was being said. Day after day
, certain critics were talking about the
franc going down for obscure and
| puzZling reasons. They were con-
tlnually emphasizing the sentimental
side, as if holders of the franc were
getting scared unnecessarily.
Sudden Change Of Front.
Nothing has occurred in cotempo-
rary financial history more striking
I than the change In the French off,
cial position which followed the
smash in the franc on Saturday, Jam
uary II. and Monday the 14th. The
whole idea then became not to with
hold the truth from the French peo-
pie. not to belittle the depreciation
| in the paper currency. but to empha-
size the seriousness of Frances finan-
{ cial position. The idea was partly an
appeal to fear and partly an appeal
to patriotism. in order to make the.
already heavily burdened taxpayers
stand a 20 per cent additional.
The plan was to cut down recon-
struction expenditures. increase taxes

French Program In Sound.
This Is the purpose Of the pro-
gram announced within the last few
days by the French premier. Its sue
ccss depends upon the attitude Of the
French people-continually deceived
ABOUT the franc, oppressed by a very
high living cost-toward the propo-
sftton that they stand an extra fifth

program In itself is essentially sound,
In fact. 1T Is the only one which could
have stopped the imitation going on
through the successive issues of
short-term government obligations.
HcHGrSe Hoard to Prevent Initiation.
The week has brought another ad-
vance In the federal reserve ratio.
carrying 1t up almost to the highest
since 1917. before the huge war loans
mad begun to drawn upon bank re-
sources. ratio above so per cent of
reserve to liabilities indicates an eX-
ceedingly strong financial position
and credit resources. which in the old
held out indefinite possibilities of infia-

reserve Board to prevent such infla-
;lon' and that the markets believe the
BOARD Will do SO is demonstrated by
ne way both speculation and invest
nent have quieted down during the last
week.
ilustness Situation Appears Healthy.
The business situation is develop
ing along the lines expected. With
the passing of the inventory period
at the start of the year. new orders
have been coming in. and buyers have
ceased. in lines where price condi-
tions were debatable. to hold off for
concessions. Still there is no deficien-
cy In supplies to be made up lik.
there was twelve months ago. Con-
Isequently there is no probability of
another buying rush accompanied by
sharply advancing prices.
Railway car loadingS for the sec
ond week in succession have fallen
off as compared with year ago
Forty per cent of the decrease has
occurred in coal and is reflection
of the mild winter. Another rs per
cent is represented by smaller grain
traffic. The main point is, however.
that as measure of the general bus
mess volume. the freight movement
in comparison with last year is no
longer going ahead.
The conclusion from this and other
business data is that there is no basis
for enthusia SIN at this level of Sc
curity prices. The advance of the last
two and a half months has been well
justified, but If it were carried much
further. it would be overdone and
would invite the same penalties that
overlook the market of 1928.
