Ing to the BELIEF Of county authori-
ties who began an investigation to-
day to determine how the woman
came to be in the furnace.
Aided by the county prosecutor,
county Coroner Murphy and his as
sistants went to the Sheatsley home
to inspect the furance and the re-
mains. He said the theory that
Mrs. Sheatsiey, the wife of the Rev.
G. ". s. Sheatsley, pastor of Christ
Lutheran Church, Bexley, crawled
into the fire was highly improbable
Reverend Sheatsley, who was first
to learn that his wife had been
burned to death, supported the
theory of suicide. He said his wife
was a very nervous person and that
he had cancelled plans to go hunt
ing in order that he might remain
at home yesterday because OF Mrs.
Sheatsley's condition.
Late in the afternoon, he said
Mrs. Sheatsley was left alone for
three hours while the minister went
on an errand. When he returned
the odor of burning flesh led Rev.

where he found the remains OF
his wife, including jewelry she was
