Thursday Night.

attorney and ex-national bank exam
iner for Illinois; his wife, a member

dent at the University of Washing
ton, were found dead in a bathroom
of their home in the fashionable Cap
itol Hill district at 1 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. They had been dead
since the previous Thursday.
The women, each of whom was
clad in nightrobes, had been mur
dered by being struck in the head,

of Miss Seeley, and E. R. Zibbell, a
friend of the family. The police de
tectives searched the house for the
weapon with which the murders had
been committed, but were unable to
And any bloodstained implement. No
jewelry or other article of value was
taken from the house.

strengthening the theory that the
man killed the two women and then
committed suicide. He had recent

father's estate, but within the past
few days he had borrowed money to
pay his last month's house rent, in
dicating that he was in financial
straits.
