FLAME DEATH
Arson Office Makes Test of
Liquid With Which
Clothes Were Soaked.
HUSBAND BEING HELD
Columbus Officials Think
Woman Beaten, Placed in
Blazing House.

Investigation of the death Of Mrs.
Arthur MCKeVett in her home at
Columbus, Ind, Saturday night, to-
day turned to Indianapolis as
George Coogan, arson investigator
from the State fire marShals Offices
brought the victims garments to the
state board of health laboratories
for analysis of a peculiar liquid with
which they were saturated.
Upon the outcome of the analysis
depended to some extent support
for the theory of Columbus officials
that Mrs. McKevett was beaten to
death, her clothing soaked with
some sort of chemical to aid in con-
Stunning the body and then the house
set on fire
Columbus firemen put out the fire
before it reached the body so that
all the evidence lay untouched.
Husband Is Held
Arthur McKevett, the husband, is
held while the grand jury, called in
special session, Sits the facts. James
D. KailOr, Columbus fire chief, has
filed an arson charge against Nc
Kevett, who was captured as he
fled from the burning house with a
suitcase filled with some Of his
wife's clothing and personal effects.
He has refused to admit the Staying.
The woman'S legs and parts OF
her body were splotched as if by
acid burns and authorities believe
these we're caused by the strange
fluid on the clothing.
Coogan sealed the clothing in
cans before bringing it to the lab
oratory here in order to preserve
it's state as nearly as possible.
Worked in Factory Here
The investigation also took an
other direction in Indianapolis to-
day
McKevett, it was learned, worked
at the Enrich Furniture Company
factory, 324 West Morris street and
lived at the Germania house, South
and Meridian streets, going home
for week ends.
Coogan established that McKevett
left Indianapolis at 3 Saturday aft
ernoon.
He was tracing his movements be-
fore that time and quiZzing fellow
workmen to learn whether McKevett
had ever discussed domestic trouble.
The finding of Mrs. McKevetts
body in the flame filled home re-
called the death of her father many
years ago, according to older Column
bus residents.
Brother Lives in City
Her father operated a saloon on
the site Of the present McKevett
home for some time after the Civil
war. The place is near a stream
and the saloon keeper was bothered
by weasels which nearly overran it.
He bought q cat and a dog and
kept them there. In addition he al
ways placed a lamp on a keg near
his bed when he slept.
One night the dog and cat got into
a fight, upset the lamp, set fire to
the house and burned up Mrs, Nc
Kevett's father.
