RELATIVES GET NOTES AFTER DEATH NOT WRITTEN BY HER, Mother and Sister Identify Body Man Now Admits Is Hers, and Tell of Repeated Beatings and Separations, the Last Just Before Christmas. A warrant was issued late this afternoon by Justice Brannegan a Harrison, N. J., charging Theodore S. Whitmore, a Brooklyn “L” motore man, with the murder of his wife, Helena Salter Whitmore, whose body, was four in Lampblack Swamp on the morning of Dec. 26. : This action was taken as a result of admissions made by Whitmore, |who had been discovered by Evening World reporters, and following a |story which a sister of the slain woman told in the morgue of the New Jersey town after she had identified the body. Whitmore, who had been all day at Brooklyn Headquarters, will be put formally under arrest as soon as notice of the issuance of the warrant arrives. He insists that he knows nothing of the death of his wife. A most amazing feature of the crime has to do with a series of |forged letters and telegrams which were sent to the dead woman's rela- i tives and signed wiih her name, at a time when she lay in the Harrison ' morgue while detectives sought everywhere for clews to her identity. Even her trunk, loaded with tiseless junk to give it weight, was carefully sent to her sister's address, two days after the murder occurred, inorder to give additional color to the attempt at covering up the deed and allay: ing suspicion. There arrived in Harttson this after- noon Mrs. Susan Schmitter, wife of Mar- hmitter, a su Deo. 9, In ft the forger mada Lena say her husband was treating her better, }dut that he stayed at home to watch tin Ing at 487 East One Hun ete that sola tere niece Sovontiath atreet, the Rronx, With Mrs | of tho house, and that as soon od oa seyauitter eame her mother, Mrs, Mary|got all of them together sie waa going c, and @ friend, Mi faith |to go up the State.
