C, V. Sheatsley, for nine years pastor of Christ Lutheran church of Bex- ley, & suburb, was qulzzed by po- lice today in connection with the finding of the charred ashes of his wife's body in the furnace of their Bexley home late yesterday. Police Lieut. Shellenbarger announced that something definite might be an- nounced within an hour. | The investigation into the myste- | rlous cremation of the pastor's ar-old wife 18 being conducted by County Prosecutor John R. King and police who last midnight dis- counted Coroner Murphy's suicide verdiet. The verdict held that the woman had crawled into the fur- nace and closed the door behind her. Because the furnaca was filled with | flames, Prosecutor King asserted it would have been impossible for the woman to have turned to close the door after crawling into the firebox. The husband was not under ar- rest, but was detalned for question- ing. Names of other witnesses were but it {8 understood | they Include several of the minister's | parishioners. The nature of all tes- timony was kept secret. Rev. Mr. Sheatsley last night ex- plained that his wife had been ex- | tremely nervous for some time and that she was alone in the house | vesterday. He had postponed a hunting trip because of her condi- tion, he said, but went into town about 1 p. m. The woman's body | was found at 4:55 p. m. when the n*iulstar returned. He was attract- od to the furnace, he sald by the odor of burning flesh.
