as the cause Of the death OF Rachel A.
Cameron. whose body was found be-
meath the steel arch bridge Tuesday
morning.
The fact that her friend, Miss Min
ME F9erested, was with her within an
hour Of the time the body was found
and that no cries were heard, points
directly to suicide" said DR.. Seashore.
II do not believe the woman could
have been hurled alive from the bridge
at that hour without some alarm being
given. The morning was unusually
scggy and the woman might have
jumped from the bridge without being
seen.
The post morten examination
showed that Miss Cameron was not
dead. when she struck the ice, which
refutes theories that she nigh. have
been murdered or struck by an auto
