His wife, Ruth Carmelia Freed, who police believe fled from the North State Street apartment building last ‘Thursday after Miss Vallette had screamed “stop that woman; I've been shot,” did not surrender and the au- thorities apparently had no knowledge of her whereabouts. Freed, 32, manager of the “Nut House,” North Clark street night spot, said he last saw his wife at 4 a. m., ‘Thursday. He declined to discuss her further and refused to say anything about his relations with the murdered y girl. “When I am released,” he said, “I will try to get in touch with my wife ‘nd do what I can to clear up this situation.” Authorities were not definite as to whether they would hold Freed. After preliminary questioning by Capt. An- drew Barry, Freed was taken to the state attorney's office for further in- Annabelle (one of the names used by ‘Miss Vallette) been intimate?” He replied: “I would like to cooperate with the authorities but my wife's liberty is at stake and until I get a chance to talk with her, I have nothing else to say.” Evidently believing that the Freeds may supply the key to the mystery of beautiful Audrey Vallette’s death, the Police concentrated on that develop- ment. They continued to study for clues the pages of Audrey's diary, an amasing story of thousand and one nights’ adventures in a barroom. — Policewomen of the London metro- politan force must resign when they SHEET METAL CALL French & Welch Tin Shop Phone 141 PAINT & GLASS CO.
