body, practically Incinerated was
found by him in the furnace of
the parsonage of Christ Luther
an Church' in Bexley, Novem
ber 17, was expressed today by
County Prosecutor John It. King,
upon the return of the family
from Paris, Ohio, where they
have been for the last week.
The Rev. Mr. Sheatsley said
yesterday that he would return
to Columbus today. The victim
of the tragedy, Mrs. Addle Sheat
sley, was burled at Paris last
Thursday.
While all members of the
Sheatsley family voluntarily tes
tified last Tuesday as to their
movements on the day of the
tragedy, a number of points
which have come to light since
that time, may be cleared up,
Prosecutor King said, by .addi
tional testimony. ,
Dr. H. H. Brundavree and
ChemUt C. F. Long, who are,
making a scientific investigation
were working today, hoping
they said, to have certain reports
of certain phases of the case,
ready for Prosecutor King by to
night. Analysis of brownish crimson
stains, found on a number of ar
ticles In the Sheatsley home to
determine whether or not they
might have been human blood,
is being made by Chemist Long
and Dr. Rrundagee.
Upon the result of this analy
sis hinges the possibility that the
body may be exhumed the Drose-
icutnr Indlcnted.

taker who removed the body
from the furnace and prepared
it for burial, told Prosecutor

TILLAMOOK. Or., Nov.
26. Because of rumors re-
gardlng the death of Hose
and Irene Kosech, children
who were burned to death
in the home of their parents
near here Monday, an ex-
unit nut ion has' been made of
their remains by Dr. Frank
Menne, professor of medl-
cine of the University of
Oregon. It was found that
their deaths were due to
suffocation.
Officers say that mystery
surrounds the cause of the
fire which destroyed the
home. Joseph Kosech fa-
ther of the girls, and a farm
hand said that no fire had
been started in the stove
the morning the house
burned.
It was said that the con-
duits carrying the electric
wiring started the blaze.
It was also said that the
fuse plugs were not dumag-
ed.
The funeral of the. vie-
thus was held this morning
and was attended by the
school mates of the two
children. ,
The father Is in a hosplt-
al suffering from a break-
.down due to grief over the
tragedy. Opiates are being
administered to subdue his
ravings,- according to hos-
pital attendants.
The mother also is in the
hospital, where she gave
birth to a baby a few days
4 ago. She has not been told
of the fate of her two daugh-
ters. 4

BAKERSFIELD, Calif., Nov.
26. Posses of deputy sheriffs
and mountaineers today were
combing the Kernvllle district,
sixty miles northeast of liakers
field. In an effort to ' locate
"Tex" Koland and Thomas Walk
er or their bodies, as an after
math of the shooting to death of
Newt Walker and Frank Mur
dock at Walker's cabin Monday
niht.
Investigation yesterday, the
sheriff's office announced today
established that Newt Walker
and Murdock were killed by an
other man or men. Walker was
found lying across the door step
of his cabin and Murdock's body
was lying 60 feet from the cab
in. Murdock had been fchot with
a revolver held close to his head,
evidently after being felled by a
blow over the right eye with the
butt of a gun.
Authorities believe that the
double murder is the result of a
feud of 20 years standing in tho
Kernvllle district. Koland's
clothes were found in his cabin,
near that of Walker and it is
'thought possible that Roland
and Tom Walker may also have
been killed and their bodies con
cealed, as neither could ba lo
cated last night or this morn

GENEVA, Nov. 26. A tele

British action in Egypt following
the assassination of the sirdar.
Sir Lee Stack, was received to
day by the secretariat of the
League of Nations from the
Egyptian parliament under the
signature of the president of
that body. .
Confronted with the recent
"aggressions committed by the
British government,' the protest
says, "the Egyptian chamber of
deputies proclaims:
"Firstly, Its Insistence upon
the. complete independence of
Egypt and the Sudan, which
constitutes the same country,
one and indivisible; secondly,
that despite Che satisfac
tion given by the Egyptlon gov
ernment concerning the assassin
ation of Sir Lee Stack, the
chamber regrets to note that
the British government has seen
fit to exploit this sad Incident
for the benefit of its imperialis
tic aims and V) wreak vengeance
upon a pacific nation which can
only relf upon the justice and
right of its cause. ,
"These aggressions, which
encroach upon Egyptian inde
pendence, violate its constitu
tion and are a menace to its ec
onomic life have no precedent
in history.
"For these motives, the Egyp
tian chamber of deputies protest
against the lniqultious acts in
fact and absolutely illegal, and
calls to witness all civilized na
tions of the enormity of such
Imperialistic cupidity.
"The ' chamber solicits also
the intervention of the League
of Nations for the defense of the
rights of an , innocent nation
which asks nothing more than
to live independent."

Riverside Store Late
Yesterday Evening.
INQUEST HELD TODAY
Sam Shell, Road Contractor
From Oakland, Driver of
Car Machine Left
Road, Turned Over.
Wm. Le Mere, aged 50 years,
was killed last night about 6:45
o'clock, when he was struck by an
auto driven by S. S. Shell, well
known contractor from Oakland.
I -a Mere was walking along the
highway near the Riverside store.
when he was struck by Shell's big
Studebaker sedan, and was drag
ged nearly 100 feet before his
crushed body was hurled to the
side of the road. Shell's car con
tinued down the highway over 50
yards and then plunged ovej; a ten
foot grade and landed bottomslde
up in the ditch.
Le Mere was picked up In a
dying condition and rushed to the
office of Dr. Hoover, where ho
died within a few minutes. Shell
was found under the wreckage of
his car In a badly dazed and shak
en condition, and unable to tell
what had happened.
A. H. Sprlnkel, a railroad em
ploye, residing a short distance
north of the Riverside store, was
the only witness of the accident
Le Mere, he states, was walking
along the left side of the highway
going north when Shell's car ap
proached him from behind.
Sprlnkel was backing his car out
from bis garage to the pavement,
and halted his machine at the edge
of the pavement to wait until Shell
had passed. Ho saw La Mere
houetted in the glare of the ap-
proiuhing headlights on Shell's
machine, and then turned away to
keep from looking Into the bright
light.
He heard the Impact when the
machine struck I.o Mere and stop
ped his engine and Jumped out and
rushed to the aid of the injured
man, who was lying groaning be
side the pavement. At that time
Sprlnkel did not know that Shell's
car had gone Into tho ditch, but
thought that it had stopped.
He hailed a, car heading north,
and the Injured man was brought
to Roseburg. Other persons at
tracted by the sound rushed out to
Shell's aid, and found hliu under
neath his overturned car. Ho was
dazed and Incoherent, and when
removed started off across a past
ure lot, but later returned to the
road.
Ho was taken In custody by
Traffic Officer Thurber and turn
ed over to Sheriff Starnier. He
was finally released nnd allowed
to go to his home In Oakland, and
not know what he had hit. He
said that he (lid not see Le Mere
at any time, nnd did not know
what 1 had rv't until he was told
that he had killed a man. He said
he felt the Impact, and lost
i trnl of his car., which- went

i the grade aflir traveling over 200
feet. Ho offered ball for his re-
lease, but was allowed to go upon
his own recognizance, and return-
