lock home at 455 East Grand avenue. . It is believed hy officers that Waddell may have become temporarily insane from his years of work with paint.


Mrs. Fred W. Oltman, 412 West Lynn street, is believed to have been the only witness to the shooting. She had gone to the Morelock home to spend the night during Mr. More-


According to Mrs. Oltman's version of the shooting. Wad- dell appeared at the door of the bedroom .in which Mrs Morelock was preparing to retire and fired two shots at Mrs. Morelock as she lay across the bed. Then, she said. Waddell went back upstairs to his own room and fired one shot. He had entered the house through the back door a few minutes before the shooting and had gone directly to hia room.


Mrs. Morelock'a story largely corroborated that of Mrg., Oltman. She told officers that she had just gone to het room when Waddell descended the stairs, turned off the hall light, and shot at her through the darkened room as aby. lay on the bed ..
