Only a hint of the military was permitted to enter into the exercises shearing away the mystical ZR designation so reminiscent of the war.

V. | Sheatsley, wife of the pastor of the !Christ Evangelical Lutheran church of Bexley, appeared to be in a nor- mal fr.me of mind last Monday noon County Prosectitor John R. King, was told at Lithopolis, a village south of here, today by Mrs, Gladys Redelphs, wife of Rev. Harry Re- delphs of the village. Mrs. Redelphs ivisited the Sheatsley home last Mon- day and was one of the few persons who last saw the minister's wife allve. Mr. King went to Lithopolis today hoping that Mrs% Redelphs might | have some information that would help him in solving the mystery of the finding of Mrs. Sheatsley's body in the furnace of her home last Monday evening. He announced that nothing definite had developed. Mrs. Redelphs said she dellvered Christmas cards to Mrs. Bheatsley, {which the latter had ordered two weeks before. She sald she arrived at the Bheatsley home about noon and that she was admitfed at the ‘dvar by Alice the 13 year old daugh- iter. Clarence, 16 year old son, the {first one to find something strange in the furnace, and Mr. Sheatsley, | Mrs. Redelphs told King, were exam- 'Ining the morning mall. Mrs. Sheatsley was in the kitchen pre- paring lunch, After a short talk with Mrs. Sheatsley, Mrs, Redelphs said, she left, after having declined an invita- tion to remain for lunch. She said sheydid not know what M Sheats- ley was getting for the meal, Mr. King found at Lithopolis that Mr. Sheatsley, with President Otto Mees of Capital university here, and other men, were hunting in that sec- tion the Saturday preceding the find- ing of Mrs, Sheatsley's body in the furnace, and that they obtained sev. eral rabbits. After spending the morning in Lithopolis, King returned to his of- fice. Mr. Sheatsley, in a statement at Canton today, sald that the reddish stains, which ‘were found by King and his investigators in slaces in the Sheatsley home vester- day, and whish will be analyzed to determine whether or not they are human blood, asserted that the stains probably were made by him while dressing rabbits which he had lobtained on the Saturday excurslon. I returned from a hunting trip on the Saturday before the affair and carrled four rabbits down the steps where the stains were found, Into the cellar and dressed them near the furnace,” said Mr. Sheats- ley's statement. A palr of trousers also found yes- terday and which contalned stalns, Mr. Sheatsley declared, were the ones that he had worn while on the hunting trip and probably, he s» had been marked by rabbit blood. On his return here, King took un- der advisement a move the body of Mrs. Sheatsley, in order that Dr. H. M. Brundage, patholo- is working on the case, the skull for signs of fracture. At a conference late last night hetween county anthorities and Edwin Abbott, the Hm!n"f:flr-’“r who removed Mrs, Sheat 8 *nains from the furn: Ardott said that he thought & portion of Mre.

Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods characterized the store con- ducted by Babula as the “worst {dive” in tha city. In Imposing the sentence, Judge Hungerford sald that ths place was evidently of a very bad character, and the fact that a 15 days sentence was imposed by the court when Babula was arraigned on his first offense seemed to indicate that an unusually bad condition prevalled. Attorney Harry Ginsberg who repre- | sented the defendant, took an appeal bonds for which were set at $1,000. | The defense introduced the testi- | mony of Dr. Roman Lekston in an | attempt to sustain its contention that the alcohol selzed by the police in | the raid was for legitimate purposes. | The testimony of the doctor was that he had prescribed alcohol for Bab- ula's mother to rub her legs with. | Babula denied that he sold any| liquor and disclaimad ownership of the alcohol saying that it h»longm? to his mother.
