Figures in Indiana murder mystery tied to ashes and disguises
A New York woman using the alias Mrs. Thomas helped place Lascelles body in Washington and later claimed connections to the case while Mark, her secretary, traveled between Asheville and Washington. Investigations reveal Lascelles used multiple identities, feigned marriages, and swindled many, with his ashes reportedly handled by an undertaker and later by a bank and waiter. In Indiana, Poole confesses to Kemper’s murder, but a coroner finds the mutilated body unlikely Kemper, and Emory Pooley and Flora Poole defend or accuse the father amid new discoveries.
