House Rent Receipt Books SPANISH ENGLISH One of the most extraordinary mysteries of murder or suicide that has come to light for years is that concerning the death of Mrs. Addia Sheatsley, wife of a Lutheran Minister in Bexley, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.
Though the first general as sumption, in which the husband of the dead woman shared until recently, was that the woman bad committed suicide, later developments make this seem impossible. But if the alternative theory of murder is to be accepted, there is not so far as known, a shred of evidence to connect any body with the crime, Indeed, it is said that the authorities are now inclined to abandon the murder theory. IC so they must be prepared to accept the suicide theory, which seems preposterous. It one believes that Mrs. Sheatsley killed herselt he must believe that it 18 pissible for the woman to step fe tirat into a hlazing furnace, through a door fourteen inches square, thirty inches from the ground, and then to close tbe door. RELIGIOUS MANIA.
Uutil the tragedy brought the Sheatsley family into national prominence, there was nothing in the life of any member of that was at all out of the ordinary. The antecedents of Rev.
Sbeatsley and bis wife reveal not circumstance that might indicate any motive for the woman being murdered or for ber selt destruction. The Sheatsleys were a Common couple, interested mainly in church work and in the affairs of a nearby colles, in which the minister lectured on theoloky, and which was atteided by their two sons. It has be in suggested that the woman excessive religious bent may have urged ber to self destue :ion. On the morning o her death she was beard moaning in her bed about her sins, and one of her daughte got in beside and comforted her. So far as is known her most revious sin consisted in maki some error about glasses mu a church en tertainment. She either put out the wrong glasses, or forgot all about tbe glasses, and her con science smoter There was some difference of opinion among members of the family as to whether Mrs. Sheatsley was in particularly repentent mood on the day of her death.
The physican who had known her all her life said that she was one of the last people to com mit suicide.
FATAL APTERNOON On the day in question the family machinery revolved 19 usual until the afternoon. The hus band was about bis parish work; the mother was at home. The four children were at school. At one forty five all the members of the family were away except Mrs. Sheatsley, the boy: Milton Clarence versity, and the two girls at village schools. Clarence was the last to leave, and be went then to find another boy whose mother bad telephoned about her 800 Clarence found the buen delivered the message and atiended a class wbicb began at 30. Half an hour after he had leit a baker called rapped on the door, and receive ing po answer left some bread inside. For another three quarters of an hour the house was empty, so it is supposed, except for Mrs. Sheatsley. Then university student went to the house to leave some borrowed books. He got no answer to his knocking, but hearing a noise as though someone were work ing at the furnace, he knocked at another door. quarter of an hour laier Milton, the elder Bon, arrived, he having loitered on bis way home after bis class which was over at 30.

The Clarence, the young son, came home, and when he sisters complained about the swell, attribating it to the fur Dace, be wet down to tbt cellar. He opened the door, and here, as he reported later, he saw the burning body of bis mother. He closed the door, and returning upstairs, told the the girls everything was all right.
