Mystery Is Added to Michigan Murder Case MUSKEGON. Mich., Dec 16 Further questioning today of Milo H.' Piper, wealthy insurance man charged with killing Frieda Weichman, after a short honeymoon, although he had a wife living, was expected to clarify several obscure points developed in the case since Piper's arrest at Hamilton, Ont. Piper was brought here from Hamilton yesterday and added to the mystery surrounding the case by declaring that his name was used by another -man in marrying Miss Weichman. He gave this man's name as "."'dm Sheldon," adding that his obootions to the use of his name were silenced by threats of trouble. Miss Weichman was last heard from by relatives in August, 1916. A fewweeks later a body identified as hers, only by tho clothing, was unearthed near a railway crossing in Eggleston township, Michigan. Piper'.-; whereabouts at the time were unknown here and he was sought in Chicago, Detroit, and other cities, lie was finally arrested through a leiter sent to him under tho name of John Carlson at the general delivery window of the Hamilton, Ont., posto!Tice. Piper's wife and mother strongly express their belief in his innocence.
