Quarry company and . former superintendent., bf Sunday school in the Christian church, and, Mrs. Phyllis Coleman, Cole-man, 33, who worked in a , creamery cream-ery company off ice. They had been beaten, bound,-gagged and strangled. Koonts, his head crashed, was , found with the woman's slip staffed into his month. The bodies were folly clothed, except, for Mrs. Coleman's .slip.' ; .:; .. Mrs. Coleman's husband, Kenneth, Ken-neth, 40, a slight and mild-mannered grocery clerk, was taken into custody for questioning. Authorities Au-thorities talked to him for several hours but declined, to issue a statemenVabout the questioning. Coleman was released late today to-day and authorities said their investigation in-vestigation had reached a "dead end." . ! "We're up against a stonewall," i said Lt. Ray J. Hinkle of the Indiana In-diana State police and Sheriff Albert Al-bert Skirvin. Koontz was superintendent of the Sunday school at the Cear Creek Christian church, a small congregation four miles from Bloomington. He and Mrs. Coleman Cole-man sang in the choir.- Authorities said they had learned that Koontz resigned recently re-cently as superintendent, at the request of church authorities, because be-cause of talk among congregation members that he and Mrs. Cole man had been seen togetner. Both Koontz and Mrs. Coleman were childless. . Prosecutor Robert McCrea revealed re-vealed that he had obtained a packet of love letters which he-putedly he-putedly were written by Koontz to Mrs. Coleman. He said police were pumping water out of the quarry pit in a search for additional clues. Authorities said they also would; question Koontz' wife, ' Ruth, In an effort to learn the i motive for the slaying. . The bodies were found in two feet of water in a pit in an old stone mill, located in a lonely district :four miles northwest of here. Mrs. Coleman, described by friends as "beautiful," had been beaten, gagged with a handkerchief and strangled with a piece of rope. Koontz wrists had been bound so tightly the rope had cut the flesh. - The slayings were similar in many ways to the double-slaying last Oct. 30 of George Tyson, 38, and Ethel Sparks, 18, of East St. Louis, 111. The bodies of Tyson : and Miss Sparks were found bound, their hands tied behind their backs, in a shallow grave near Rockport, 40 miles south of here. Authorities found $3,200 in bills in Miss Spark's brassiere. The slayer still is being sought. Tyson had been sought in the slaying of an East St. Louis' iron worker and police expressed belief be-lief Tyson's death was the result of gang activities. Koontz and Mrs. Coleman had been bound but their shackles had been removed before the bodies were thrown into the water. Bloomington Police Chief John Rawlings said hq had found footprints, foot-prints, in the mud, leading from the, quarry to a house a mile and ia half away. He said the prints ! appeared to have been made by overshoes or G. I. boots. ' Koontz's automobile was found just outside the mill building where the bodies "were found. It was locked. Mrs. Coleman's purse was in it. There were no bloodstains in the car. Police found Mrs. Coleman's investigator theorized, and threw the bodies into the pit RotaryfTo Meet In San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, March 2 (U.R) Word was received. here today to-day from the board of . directors of Rotary International' that SanJ Francisco was selected as the site of the Rotary convention from June 8 to 13, 1947.
