PROBE TOFOLLOW
FINDING BURIED
BODY OF WOMAN
Wife Accuses Husband of
Staying Aged Grand
mother.

By United Press
PLA1OUIH, Ind, Feb. 1.-The
Marshall County grand jury will meet
in special session this week to investi-
gate the murder OF Mrs. Frances
Sweet, SO. Her grandson. Raymond
B. Smith, So, is under arrest on charge
of first degree murder.
A call for the grand jury session
was sent today following the coroner's
inquest over the body Of the aged
woman yesterday.
Coroner's verdict was withheld
pending the questioning of several
witnesses.
Smith was taken to the undertaking
establishment. where his grandmoth-
er's body lay, and shown the body. He
was greatly disturbed by the sight
of the body, but refused to make any
statement to officials investigating the
death.
Smith was arrested Immediately
after the body was found under the
cement foundation of a henhouse on
mis- farm near here. The aged woman
had been missing two years.
Feeling Runs High
Feeling is running high and an ee-
fort is being made to clear up mystic
rious circumstances surrounding the
death of three other members of
Smiths family In recent years.
Authorities admit, however, they
nave not yet uncovered any evidence
which would place responsibility for
the deaths of the other three upon
Smith.
His wife. Mrs. Margaret Smith, gave
authorities a detailed description of
the killing Of Mrs. Sweet based opon
a confession" she said her husband
a to her.
She said he told her "he shot the
old woman to get her out of the way"
and buried her body where 1t was
found yesterday.
Kept Secret, Says Wife
The wife said she had kept the
secret for two years under threat from
Smith that he would kill her IL she
breathed a word about the crime.
Neighbors, after the body of the
aged woman was found. recalled that
Smiths father was the victim Of a
hammer murder" which was never
cleared up; that his mother died up-
der mysterious circumstances, and
that his first wife died OF a lingering
malady." which authorities believe
may have been poison.
All three deaths occurred within the
last six years.
Plymouth in Turmoil
Plymouth was thrown into turmoil
by the discovery OF the aged woman's
body. A search throughout the entire
northern part of Indiana was made
at the time Of her Disappearance in
February, 1922.
When search failed, is was believed
she had wandered off and had been
drowned in the river near her hone.
Smith was one Of the most re-
spected citizeps Of the county, and as
"A musician in the Plymouth band was
KNOWN and liked by every enc.
His second wife. Mrs. Margaret
Smith, whose suit for divorce led to
n discovery of the aged woman's
hody, said Smith dropped his mantle
of politeness and showed the most
violent temper at home.

Coal Tests Made
AT this time the Navy was using
coal from West Virginia, so the tests
were made in comparison with the
West Virginia fuel.
In its report the special board said
the Alaskan coal was Is per cent more
efficient than the West Virginia fuel;
that the Alaskan coal developed more
horsepower, despite a lesser tonnage.
Despite this report the Alaskan coal
