SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. IL
Jealousy, not revenge, was the mo-
tive in the murder of 17-year- old
Alice Woltman, whose throat was
cut while she slept Sunday morn
ing, police and county authorities
said they believed today.
They discounted theories that a
man, angered because he was re-
fused credit at the grocery owned
by Henry Woltman, the slain high
school girls father, plotted to kill
the entire Woltman family-father,
mother and seven children.
On the other hand, they indi-
Gated they will press their hunt for
the slayer by tracing down theory
that woman committed the crime,
or hired some one to do it.
Enlarging upon that theory, they
explained the murderer may have
mistaken Alice for her elder sis
ter. Henrietta, 20, sleeping in the
same room.
Two new material witnesses we're
in custody this morning. They were
Gene Jarvis, no address, for whose
arrest police withheld reasons, and
Carmi Hurtle, Is, who was seen
lettering near the murder scene as
crowds collected around the house
early Sunday.
He admitted, police say, that he
had had several dates with Alice.
All day Tuesday crowds called at
the Woltman home to file before the
coffin. Funeral of the girl was post
poned by the family until Thursday.
Prominent among many floral
tributes to the slain high school girl
was a heart-shaped piece, inscribed
Sweetheart" Presumably it was
the tribute of Alex Pietrzak, who
told police he and Alice had been
engaged.
