Dr. Wynekoop acknowledged there were "many loopholes In the confession." Her son, Earle. made a widower by his mothers act. wa undergoing a bombardment of questions In another room net -by. "The only thing that Is true In mother's entire" statement," he said flatly, "is that Rheta used to go downstairs frequently, disrobe and weigh herself.

The rest Is all a pack of lies, told by mother to save me because she thought I might be In danger." Dr. Alice was told of her son's skepticism. "You tell him." she said, "if he loves me a scrap to keep his mouth hut. Why do they keep bothering him?" CONCERNED OVER SON She waa far more concerned for his well being and sollcltlous of his night's rest than that she herself was accused by a coroner Jury of murder by gunshot despite her assertion that Rheta died of an anaesthetic while being examined for relief of a severe pelvic pain. Acting Police Captain Thomas Duffy said the ultimate solution of Tuesday's grotesque killing rested upon the answers to a dozen questions.

His questions were: 1. What was the matter with Rheta Wynekoop, and did her treatment by Dr. Alice require chloroform? 2. Why were there certain discrepancies in Dr. Alice's confession? "WAS SHE DEAD?" 3.

Was Rheta actually dead from an overuse of chloroform when shot In the back? 4. Where are the two other bullets fired from the same pistol? 5. Why did Earle purchase a pistol to protect the household in his recent absence, since he hsd been absent much of the summer? 6. Why did Dr. Wynekoop use gauze Instead of the ordinary chloroform mask In administering the anaesthetic? 7.

Where did Dr. Alice go after the death of Rheta? 8. Did Earle anticipate his wife's death when he left his mother Monday afternoon, his wife unaware he was In Chicago? 9. Why did Dr. Alice delay calling the police for almost seven hours? 10.

Why did she try to obtain a physician five hours after the death? DOCTOR FEEI.8 "FINE" 11. Why did Dr. Alice Intimate to Stanley Young, Earle's eompsnlon, that her confession was designed to nave someone elseJ 13. Whst did Enid Hennessey, roomer, know of the killing? The slxty-two-year-old physlclsn aatd she felt "fine" after a good rest, although the police matron who watched her during the night said he waa wakeful and several times asked the police woman. "Have you ever taken an anaesthetic?" She emphatically protested her Innocence of any Intent to take the life of her daughter-in-law and pointed out that she hsd plenty of time to dispose of the pistol had she wished.

Not since Tuesdsy night, when she and Miss Hennessey dined together while Rheta lay dead In the basement surgical office, has Dr. Alice accepted substantial nourishment. Occasionally she has taken a cup of tea or black coffee, and last night he asked her daughter, Dr. Cather lne Wynekoop, for cookies. Refusing breakfast today, she was asked If the confession hsd not taken a load off her mind.

MORE PROBLEMS "Confession." she repeated, as I perplexed. Then. "No, I don't fee like I have a load off my mind. As a matter of fact there are a thou ssnd problems before me. It is far more complicated now than ever." Then she turned from talk of herself to Inquire about Earle; had he slept In his clothes or did they let him hsve his pajamss and a good bed? Miss Hennessey she was frail woman.

How waa she, getting along? The doctor had always taken care of her. And the house the gloomy Monroe street mansion that hsd seen three deaths In recent years, They had probably dug up every thing In It. suppose." Dr. Alice mused, "they'll go out to Roeehill cemetery and dig up Dr. Frank, too." She re ferred to her dead husband.

As ahe waa ordered to a cell for a week. Judge Joseph B. David asked the quiet little woman whether she preferred the county Jail or the po lice cell she had occupied last night. She hesitated a moment, reflecting. Then, with a smile: "Well, Judge, you know I've never been In the county Jail.

I hardly know how to make a choice." The court suggested she consult her attorney. He picked the county jail. I 9VEH RELEASE GUADALAJARA. Mexico. Nov.
