The rumor was accompanied by
the claim that a local undertaken
while removing Mrs. Sheatsley's
charred remains from the furnace
@ the Sheatsley home, noted that
the top of the skull from the
crown to the middle of the head
had either been crushed by blow
or the intense furnace heat had
broken it.

Besides the several blood stained
articles to be examined by the scien

Alleged Bigamist Says He
Wanted to Spare Sister

4 AUDUBON, N. j., Nov. 25.-
While John H. Morgan, whose al
legged dual existence makes him
resident of Philadelphia and the
Beau Brumnel of this section,
languishes in a Camden county
cell after his story of substituting
for a dead twin brother to explain
a charge of bigamy fell on I'M
sympathetic ears, State police are
trying to learn what foundation
exists to hints that Morgan has
. third wife and possibly a fourth.
First Wife Accused.
The suggestion that Morgan may
have a third wife came from the
woman whose declares herself his
first wife and mother of his two
children, Mrs. Frances Mcdonald
Morgan, of Sixty-fourth and Vine
streets, Philadelphia. IN, Morgan's
story this woman is the widow Of
his brother killed in France during
the war, and whose place he quietly
took to spare her the heartache of
the tragedy.
Because of this, Morgan contends
his marriage to Miss Julia Walsh,
a pretty young woman of about
twenty-six, at Woodcrest, on July
2S, last, in legal. Wife mo. q"
wept bitterly as Morgan told the
story to Justice of the Peace Stuart
A. White, while the first Mrs. Nor.
gan called the explanation fabri-
cation of the defendants adroit
imagination.
State and local authorities scout
the story, which they say Morgan
In moment of weakness admitted
was untrue,s but which admission
he later withdrew. The police, how.
ever, are confident they have
riddled Morgans excuse.
According to the West Phila-
delphia wife, she round a letter in
Morgan's pocket some months ago
while he was on one Of his infre.
quent visits to her. This letter,
Mrs. Morgan told state police here,
was from woman who begged
that she and the children be sup.
piled with money. x
Pressed for Explanation.
Because the letter. was not post
marked Woodcrest, and because it
spoke Of children, afrs. Morgan is
confident 1t was not from wife
No. 2. she said she pressed her
husband for an explanation, but he
would give her no satisfactory
answer, merely mumbling that it
was from a foolish woman and
she had got the wrong man.
