most cuccessful comedies OF the day
Is a task for anyone. Yet Miss June
Mathis, not yet 81 years old has done
this. The success of Miss Mathis

The young actress comes from Salt

Five years ago when Miss Adams

Miss MATHS who had just graduated

parents that she was going on the
stage. To Miss Adams the young

asked for advice. The famous act

evidence presented did not dlsproye
the hypothesis of suicide, but it ma

that a bullet entered the left cheek,

a wound which must have caused in
slant death. The doctors left hand
was so crippled that he could not
have fired the shot with it, and the
wound was of such nature that 1t
could not have been made by firing
the pistol with tie right hand. It was
also shown that the DOCTORS coat and
vest were found open and the wallet
he habitualIy carried in the inside
vest pocket was missing, as was his
watch. A small sum of $2.41 was
found on a dresser in the room. His
