BAUDETTE, Minn., June 11.—After s{x months' incarceration, Tony Reamer, North woods tcapper, was free today to return to the woods that had been his home for several years, exonerated by a grand jury of any connection with the death last fall in the northwest country of Mrs. Dean Wheeler. * 2 The decision of the grand jury left unsolved the unusual death of Mrs. Wheeler, whose body was found with a knife plunged through her side, ly- ing on-the floor of the cabin in which she and her husband, as homesteaders, made their home two weeks after their marriage in Kansas. Found dead by her husband and a friend, last November 13, word of the tragedy was brought to Warroad, the nearest outpost, by a courler who spent several days making a _ circuitous route ‘around-thé large Lake of the Woods, which, being half frozen, could not be crossed by boat or sled. Mrs. Wheeler's death was pro- nounced a suicide by a coroner’s jury Later investigation, however, indi cated that the woman might have been slain while her husband was absent from the cabin. With the Wheeler cabin 160 miles beyond the frontier, investigation of the woman's’ death was a slow and tedious process. After several trips had been made into the woods by varfous investigators, some traveling by dog sled and some making the trip on snowshoes, it.was determined, ac- cording to officlals, that Reamer was the last man to have seen Mrs. ‘Wheeler alive. A search of the woods was begun and after several weeks, on hearing that ‘he was wanted by authorities, Reamer gave himself up and said he did not fear to stand trial. ‘Washingtonian Wins Suit.
