to Jail.
Mrs. Stevey, the former Beulah Vir-
ginia Warwick, of near Vale Summit,
Allegany county, told the officers at
first that last Wednesday her husband
came home from work about the mid
die of the morning Stevey was en-
ployed at the George E. Sloan coal
mine, west of Grantsville.
Again on Thursday, she related, he
came home about ten o'clock and went
into a bedroom without speaking to
her. A few minutes later she heard a
shot, she said, and continued that fol-
lowing the explosion of the firearm
she left the house and hurried to the
highway adjacent to the residence
of Joel A. Beachy There she was
taken into car by some hunters who
transported her to Grantsville where
she summoned the State police. Troop
ers Frank Beamer and c. D. Mades re-
sponded and going to the home took
Stevey to the office of a Grantsville
physician who sent him on to the hos
pital at Frostburg.
Fraley said Mrs. Stevey told him she
had been married at the age of thir-
teen, but later said she was fifteen at
the time of her marriage in 1882. Her
children are aged six, four and about
two years.
Stevey was the son Of the late Alex
and Hester Stevey and went to Grants
vile from Midlothian where the family
had lived for about forty years. Be-
sides his wife and three children he is
survived by brother, Alex Stevey,
Midlothian, and two sisters, Mrs.
Nancy McManus, Franklin, and Laura
Stevey, Wellsburg.
He enlisted in the United States
army during the World War and was
in the service overseas from April 16,
1913, to July %, 1919, seeing active
combat service in the Anould sector,
st. Die sector, Villers-en-H aye sector.
st. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne He was
honorably discharged July 26, 1919.
Funeral services for the deceased
were held Sunday in charge of Farra-
day Post, American Legion, Frostburg,
of which Stevey was a member.
The fatal shooting was investigated
by States Attorney Fraley, Sheriff
j. w. Owens, Corporal Thomas Currie
and Corporal John H. Doud, of the
State Police, and Dr. E. |. Baumgart
ner, county medical officer.
1t was intimated that the murder
was the result of a Glove triangle" but
no definite statement about this was
obtained, and the name of the "other
man" was not divulged.
Mrs. Stevey's three children are re-
naming in Jail with their mother

what can be done with them.
