The soldier's name is Frank W. Whited. His home is in Pittsburgh.

The soldier is twenty-eight years old. Mrs. Stockwell was about twenty-four years old. Her bruised and battered body was found in a lot in the rear of a hotel in Cleveland on February 1. Nathan Altman went to Cleveland after word was received of his sister's death, and returned with the body. He scouted the idea of foul play, and stated last night that he had satisfied his father and mother that the girl had died without violence. SAY IVIAN ADMITS KILLIN DM lg .
