J. Chester, admitted returning to

Shook turned into the landlady Of
the apartment the same key two
hours before the body Of the
murdered girl had been identified
as that Of Miss Hix, Chester de.
clarsd.
"At the Body"
Chief Of Detectives w. g. Shellen-
barger informed International News
Service that when Shook, during the
grilling today, was asked where he
secured the key to return to the
landlady, he replied
"At the body"
admitted to Investigators that a
vanity case which they found in the
furnace Of his home belonged to
the slain coed.
Shook had previously admitted
burning two pairs Of the girls
pajamas, and her slippers. However,
he explained that the wearing
apparel had been left by her in
the ''love nest" and that he desired
to destroy it after he had learned
she was dead.
The grilling Of Shook started at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
probers, seven Of them, worked in
relays. It was the most gruelling
th1rd-degree in police annals here.

ing. Then he became nervous and,
according to Chief Shellenbarger,
contradicted himself.
Mrs. Shook, wife of the former
Ohio State University professor,
was questioned by authorities Tues.
day. Discrepancies between the in-
formation she gave and the state.
ments Of her husband are believed
to have caused Shook to become mud
died in his answers this morning.
The wife told investigators that
she did not know Of the relationship
between her husband and Miss Hix
until after the murder.
Subsequently, President George w.
Rightmire, OF Ohio State University,
dismissed Shook, as professor of
veterinary medicine at the college,
due to his moral delinquencies. -
Meyers Released
Besides Enool, another Ohio state
University man, Marion T. Meyers,

lege faculty, was also held for in.
vestigation in connection with the
murder. He. was placed in jail,

released until yesterday.
Suspicion was not directed at
Meyers, but police thought Meyers
knew much about Shook and Miss
Hix. Meyers admitted he knew the
coed intimately, and stated he had
begged her to marry him. At one
time Miss Hix broke away from
Shook and was much in the COM
pany of Meyers. but she later re.
turned to the doctor.
Because Meyers admitted an init.
mate relationship with the coed,
President Rightmire. of the univer.
sity. notified him, following his re.
lease from custody, that he would
recommend his dismissal to univer.
