He gives this ac- count of the incident “I last saw the woman alive about 3 o'clock Sunday afterncon, at which time 1 finshed my Sunday dinner and went out for a walk, leaving her alone in the house.

Sweethearts from Childho Five years ago the acquaintance began which' terminated in the marriage of Harry Churebill and Olga Pries. They were chil- dren then and the intimacy which sprung up between them developed into an infatu- ation and resulted In an all-consuming love. No objection to their professed rela- tions as sweethearts was made by the par- ents and no thought was entertained by the latter of the case developing into a matrl- monfal allllance. Two weeks ago Claude Rose and Efe L. Gardner, youthful chums of Churehill, eloped to Red Oak, Ia., and were married. Their example was an lncentlve to Church- 1ll and Miss Pries to do likewise. The latter couple have been much in the society of Rose and his bride since their return Hin Eventf: “I've had trouble enough in the last twenty-four hours,” sald Harry Churchill, “to turn my hair gray. I didn’t think when 1 married Olga that I would bring on all this trouble. I'm to blame for all of it and I feel terribly over it. I can't see why our parents should object so to our mar- riage. Olga end 1 love each other dearly and we were married by a minister. Here's our marriage iicense. You dou't think they can nullity it, do you?" he added with anx- fety in his voice and deplcted in tbe troubled look that came over his fac “Sometimes I halt wish I had gone to the theater Friday night instead of spend- ing the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Rose and Olga. It was then that we decided upon this. If I had gone to the theater as I bhad intended all of thie trouble wouldn't have come on. Before that night we hadn't intended to get married so soon. I don't regret our marriage at all, but I do feel badly over its outcome. A young fellow feels pretty blue, I tell you, when he finds that he has dome something that gives his mother a lot of grief.” Harry Churchill was until recently em- ployed steward in the Lincolo hotel at Lincoln. Since his mother assumed the management of the Farnam hotel fn this city he has been engaged in a similar ca- pacity. Tro e in Divorce Com The Pries family came into considerable prominence a year ago through a divorce sult between Mrs, Pries and her husband, Dr. Pries. One of the incidents of the trial was the introduction of a picture from Ger- many, alleged to have been taken of the younger Pries girl, Blanche. It showed the girl in funeral garb and indicated that she was dead. Mrs. Pries mourned the child's death, believing from the picture that such was the case. It later developed that Blanche was in the best of health. Dr. Pries took the younger daughter to Germany against the mother's will, it 1s sald It developed during the progress of the divoree case that Dr. Pries and his two daughters, Olga and Blanche, were to leave the clty oue afternoon for a short trip, ostensibly, to Colorado Springs.

Coroner is N “After I made these discoveries,” said the coroner, “I changed my mind about the case, though I wouldn't like to go on record at this stage of the proceedings saying that I think the woman met with foul play. The doctors have not yet re- ported the result of the post-mortem ex- amination. I will say, however, that to my mind the case looks queer and I have notified the police of what I have learned concerning 1it. “When I got there yesterday morning the woman was lying upon her stomach on the carpet, her face half buried in a pool of blood that was coagulated and evidently several hours old. They told me she had not been (ouched since she was found. Her arms were doubled up under her hody, not outspread as they would have been had she thrown ihem out to break the force of a fall, which fact leads me to believe that she must have been unconscious when she took fhat position. Her legs were slightly flexed at the knees. There was no evidence of a struggle: the furniture in the room was in perfect order, and the woman's clothing was no more disarranged than would have been occasioned by a pres cipitato fall out of a rocking chair.” Polxon is Advanced, One of the two physiclans who is con- ducting the post-mortem examiuation says that with the exception of a small clot ef bleod on the brain, near the base of the nose, all the vital organs are normal, This clot may have been cuused by a blow. There are also remote signs of poisoning, as the woman's tongue s chewed, as is often noticed In cases wherein the patient dies in paroxysms as the result of peison “The woman had evidently caten a hearty meal just before death,” he sald, “as the stomach ¥ full of food, upon which the process of digestion had but just begun.
