Edward T. Walsh, IT,, Found Dead in Bed
 Today

Edward T. Walsh. jr.. age s years, of 220 Kensington avenue. was found dead in bed this morn ing at S:15 o'clock, a victim of the extreme heat wave that has envel- oped this city for the past few days. He had been suffering for some time from severe headaches and had been undergoing treatment from . Hartford physician.
 Yesterday he complained to his sister that he was suffering intense pain in his head. He went to bed and it was discovered that he was dead when his mother visited his bedroom this morning.
 Dr. John M. Purney. assistant medical examiner. who was called in on the case, was undecided whether a heart condition or a brain tuner had been the immedi- ate cause of death. He stated that there was no doubt that his condi- ton was greatly aggravated by the extreme heat and this probably led to the fatality.
 He was born in this city and lived all of his life with his parents. He was last employed by the Rus sell ( Erwin Division of the Amer ican Hardware corporation where he worked for three years.
 He is survived by his parents, Mir. and Mrs. Edward T. Walsh, ST.: two brothers. William E. and Harry J. Walsh of this city, and four sisters, Mrs. Leo Pond of For estviIle. Mrs. Mert Taylor of Bran ford. Mrs. Peter Dorsey and Miss Claire Walsh of this city.

Admits He Got Apartment Key From Girls Body, Detective
 Tells Reporters
ATTORNEY REFUSES TO
 BELIEVE CLIENT GUILTY
Professor So Befuddled He Cannot Pronounce Words, Lawyer Aacgcs Authorities Resume Questioning of Suspoct-Veterinartan Claims He Got IA Much Out of Them Al They Did From Him.

Columbia, O.. June .0-W. G. Shellenbarser. chief of detectives said today that Dr. James H. Shook has admitted that he got . key from the key ring of Miss Theora K. Hix. slain Ohio State University coed. at the spot where her body was found last Friday. He obtained the key from her body the detective said he admitted.
 The key was to the room which they shared jointly and which Shook surrendered to the landlady shortly before the girls body was identi- lied Friday.
 Shellenbarger said such a report was made to him by Detective Otto Phillips. who was in the room with County Prosecutor John J. Chester, where Dr. Shook was questioned.
 Questioned About Key
 Phillips said he was questioning Dr. Shook about the key which was missing from the ring. Dr. Shook. he said. replied that he had gotten the key from the girl Wednesday and returned it to her Thursday.
 Then Phillips asked: Where did you get that key before you turned 1t in Friday"
 Phillips quoted Dr. Shook as say ing: You know where I got it."
 At the body?" Phillips asked, and he quoted the professor as answer ing Yes"
 Phillips said the questioning was dropped there and Shook was taken back to jail.
 Both Go Back to Cell
 Shortly after Shellenbarger and Chester left the police station ex- plaining they were going to break fast. Instead, they drove directly to the county jail and went to Shocks cell.
 Attorney John geidei conferred with his client at the. jail for . shost time and then said to newspaper men:
 ''They say he has confessed. Shook. however, denies it to me. What is the situation anyway? Un- til he tells me with his own lips that he killed the girl and how he killed her I will not believe it."
 When we were together in the room Shook said, I got as much out of them az they did out of me- It looks like some inferences might have been taken by them from an- swers Shook gave to their questions, but he says he has not confessed"
 Says Shook Befuddlel
 Seidel said that Dr. Shook was ''so befuddled that he cannot pronounce his words"
 Later Shook was again taken from the county jail to police headquar- ters where the questioning was re- stunned.

Shook, former Ohio State university professor of veterinary, appeared there for . reason he was unable to explain, authorities an- nounced today after questioning ni,n throughout the night in connection with the hammer staying of Theora Hix. z4-year-old coed.

WALTER JOHNSON
 REPLACES HARRIS
Capital Fans Touched by Re
 turn of Big Train"

Washington, Jan. II LT-If senti- Washington Senators will star the 1928 season with a big lead over the other American league entries.
 This is because in selecting Walter Johnson to replace Bucky Harris. who goes to Detroit, Clark Griffith has touched soft spot in the hearts of thousands Of capital fans.
 The return of the Big Train" for 20 years the hurling ace Of the Senators after a brief absence as manager of the Newark club, un- doubtedly has bolstered the morale of the Griffith cast.
 Aside from this, however. the Sen ators have other reasons for their preseason confidence. chief of which is the promise of revamped infield, a more effective defense and some promising new pitching material from the minors.
 The acquisition Of Buddy Myers. brought back from Boston in deal that cost Griffith five players. is expected to brace the inner wall ef- fectively. Johnson believes with Myer at third that Ossie Bluegc can be switched 10 short, where he play cd when he first entered the big show. The perennial Joe Judge again will decorate first base. and Johnson has the choice of at least tErce newcomers 10 plug the gap at second left by Harris departure. They are Joe cronin. Kansas City graduate, John Stewart, recalled fron Birmingham and Jack Hays, who N9s seen Seryi 2 hcrc before. The belief of Goose" Goslin. lead ing hitter of the league last season, that his throwing arm has returned 10 form is one of the main factors in Iohnson's hope for moro cfficicn, outfield. Goslin's inability to get away long throws from left field cost Washington more than one game last year
