D., Sept. 23—(F)—William | Savora, proprietor of the rooming! house in Minot near, where Mrs. Dena | Korchenko, 37, who was foun@ dead Wednesday with a cut throat, was a housekeeper, was to be further ques- tioned Friday by authorities. Savora was quizzed for five hours) last night and reiterated he knew: nothing about the woman's death un-/| til one of her children him out of bed and pointed to her body lying behind a hedge near the house. Savora was detained in jail but there was no charge against him. Meanwhile authorities were investi- gating any possible connection be- tween the death of Mrs. Korchenko and the murder of ‘her husband in McHenry county two years ago. They sought & possible motive of revenge which, it is beleved, may have arisen from that affair. ‘Was Witness For State John Martin is now serving a 15- year sentence in the state peniten- tiary, having been convicted of man- slaughter in connection with Kor- lchenko’s death. Mrs, Korchenko was the principal witness for the state in the trial of Martin, which was held at Towner. The manner in which Mrs. Kor- chenko met death was investigated by a coroner's jury Thursday. John Savora, son of the rooming house proprietor; Albert Tollefson, one of the first to see the body lying by the hedge and P. C. Hamre, mor- tician, were questioned by the jury. Although still considering the pos- sibility the woman might struck by an automobile, Dr. R. W- Pence, Ward county coroner, told the jury examination of the wounds led him to believe the gashes on her scalp, a hole in the right cheek and the cut in the throat were caused by s sharp instrument, probably a knife, wielded by human hands. There was no evidence of. broken glass in the cuts, he said. No Blood on Shirt Hamre told the jury that although clothing covering the upper part of the woman’s body was Mt the lower undergarments and stock- ings and skirt were free from blood. From the appearance of the clothing and the wounds, Hamre expressed the belief the woman had been cut while in a prone position and had been dragged by the shoulders to the spot where she was found. Tollefson gave an account of see- ing the body as he passed along the street on his way to work Wednes- day. His attention first was at- tracted by a pool of blood on the street near the curb, he said. The body was identified by Savora, who also gave information about the household. The jury is to reconvene again, probably Friday to hear further testimony.

At a coroner's inquest Thursday afternoon, a jury decided that Kol- berg came to his death from acci- dental causes but did not fix respon- sibility. Rambow admitted that he was aware that he had struck the Kolberg car but said that he had not realized the accident was serious, Oc- cupants of the Kolberg machine said Rambow’s truck was driven with only one light and that it was on the wrong side of the road when the col-! Usion occurred. According to testi- mony, John Kolberg, driver of the car and brother of the victim, drew| his car over to the extreme edge of the road in an effort to avert the accident. Rambow said that as soon as he learned persons were injured as a result of the affair, he started to Mandan to give himself up to auth- orities. He was taken into custody nine miles south of Mandan by sheriff's officers, who were on their way to St. Anthony to investigate the affair. George Wetch of Solen, who was riding with Rambow at the time of the tragedy, also was arrested but later was released Miss Myrtle Zearley, Fort Rice, who is in the Mandan hospital suffering from severe cuts on her head and face as a result of the accident, is improving, hospital attendants said.
