Professor Admits Murdering Wife ATHENS, Ohio (UPI) — Ohip University Prof. Gene I. Stees, 30, confessed Thursday to killing his estranged pregnant wife, Helen, 29, whose body was recovered from a nearby lake several hours later by scuba divers. Officials said a first-degree murder charge probably would be filed against Stees. Stees broke down after 6i hours of questioning by sheriff’s deputies and admitted he beat to , death his wife, put her body in a [ 55-gallon steel drum, and dumped it into Dow Lake last Saturday.’ As some 200 persons watched from shore, despite! snow and rain, a dozen scuba ing some from nearby communities, searched the bottom of the lake. Two divers fft>m Logan spotted the drum in about 20 feet of water. The drum was hauled out of the water and brought here unopened. Stees, resident of Philadelphia I who came here in September from Indiana University in Blionjington, said he met his wife at a Columbus bus station Saturday by agreement as she was to attend the homecoming football game here. Stees said they drove the 90 miles here and an argument developed, but an officer said he did not clarify the basis for the argument. Stees said he hit her with a crowbar in the hallway of his home. Authorities had picked up Stees for questioning on another charge when the missing woman’s parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Miles Taber of Ashland, reported the disappearance. Stees first contended he had missed meeting her at Columbus and was unaware of her whereabouts. Police continued to question Stees when they heard about extra-marital affairs and finding blood in his station wagon. Officials said Stees had met Helen Taber at Grace College, Winona Lake, Ind., and they were married in July, 1955. They separated last June.

Charge Is Dropped In SIO,OOO Theft INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Larry Stovall, 20, who admitted taking some SIO,OOO from his father’s home because “newlyweds need a lot of money,” will not be tried on the grand larceny charge filed against him last week. Deputy Prosecutor Michael Kavanaugh told Municipal Court Judge Noble Pearcy Thursday that Loyal Stovall had declined to prosecute his son and that the charge would be dropped. The younger Stovall had been held in Marion County Jail since he and his 19-year-old twice-mar-ried bride were picked up last week at the trailer court where they were living. His father, a prominent building contractor, had refused last week to post bond for his son. Officers said the younger Stovall admitted taking a safe containing the money when he left his father’s fashionable suburban home in August. The father did not report the theft until Oct. 1. When he was arrested, the young man told officers he spent the money on “high living.” At the time of his arrest, he and his wife had 87 cents between them and were unable to pay the S3O rent on their trailer home. Between the time he left home and the time he was arrested, young Stovall acquired—in addition to a wife—such items as a white convertible, three horses, a portable bar, two wedding rings valued at SSOO each, a television set, a record player, a tool chest, power tools, luggage and other items. Shortly after he was arrested, he. signed all of the property except the car over to his father.
