Alibi Imperfect
_____
Friend Will Be Questioned
Again as to Story on
Day Rheta Died.
Chicago, Dec. 2 (AP).--Attaches from the State's attorney's office returned from Kansas City today with the report that they found "certain flaws" in the alibi story of Earle Wynekoop, 27, husband of the mysteriously slain Rheta Wynekoop, 23.
They indicated they again would seek to question Stanley Young, friend of Wynekoop, who previously established the story that convinced authorities Earle was out of the city at the time his young wife met death November 19 in the operating room in the Wynekoop mansion.
Earle's mother, Dr. Alice Wynekoop, 62, is under indictment for murder. In a signed statement today the aged physician again repudiated the statement she attested to a coroner's jury in which she admitted that Rheta died from an overdose of chloroform accidentally during a physical examination and added that after the girl was dead she fired a bullet into the body while panic-stricken to simulate a murder by outsiders.
Authorities refused to discuss the supposed "flaws" in Earle's alibi. Earle is accused as an accessory.
