(.Pi County authorities delved further today into the private life of Dick Law, CIO union official, at the inquest into the death of his 24-year-old wife early this month. Mrs. Anne Batchelor. of Aber deen, the former Anne Kalinow ski, testified she was a former roommate of Helen Soboleski, a friend of Law. and that Miss Soboleski and Law came to her apartment at 3 a.m. one morn ing in May, 1938. She was ques tioned by Deputy Prosecutor Paul Manley. I shared Helen's Seat tle apartment. Helen told me she would not be home to dinner. I stayed home and went to bed about 10:30. Never Went Back "I was awakened early, about 3 a.m. I heard someone knock ing on the window. It was Helen. She asked me to let her in. She was with Mr. Law. They both came in," she said. Mrs. Batchelor said that the next day she asked friends to let her stay with them and she never went back to the apart ment again. Miss Soboleski, a clerical em ploye of the ClO-lnternational Woodworkers of America and former Aberdeen nurse, denied yesterday Manley's implications relative to her friendship with Law. After Denee Dyer, loggers' un ion business agent, had detailed labor activities of Law and his wife, Mrs. Law's father, Nestor Luoma, testified. Speaking in a guttural voice, the Finnish na tive, said, in answer to prosecu tor Stanley Krause's question as to who might have reason to slay Mrs. Law: My idea is it was some kinda labor trouble." Describing the home life of the Laws, Luoma, dressed in a bright red mackinaw, testified: Home Life Fin Their home life looked fine to me. There never was nothing cross said. Dick was a good fellow. I knew Laura liked him." When Krause asked for more details concerning the Law's marital life, Luoma replied: "I didn't marry Dick. I don't know." Under questioning of John Caughlan, a deputy King county prosecutor under leave to rep resent the Laws, Luoma, with animated gestures, reviewed the death scene and said Law, when he saw his wife's battered body, declared: "Oh, God. My dear girl's been killed." Frank Anderson, a Juror, asked Luoma if he had heard any talk of a divorce between the daughter and son-in-law. "No-never," he replied. Pittsburgh, Jan. 17.
