DEATH FROM MERCURIAL
POISON IS CONFIRMED
Autopsy Held on Body of Olive
Thomas and Permission for
Burial Granted.

Paris. Sept 13.--An official autopsy
was held today on the body Of Miss
Olive Thomas. American motion Pic
ture actress. and revealed that her
death last Friday was due to mercu-
rial poisoning. No trace Of violence
was found. The autopsy was conducted
by DR.. Paul, assisted by Dr. Choates
and DR.. Warden. Following the report
OF the physicians permission was given
to embalm and bury the body.
she was taken to the American hos
pital in Neuilly from the Ritz hotel,
where she swallowed bichloride of mer
curry on the morning Of Sept. 5.
Miss Thomas husband. Jack Pick
ford, was not in Paris when the au-
Moore. former husband OF Mary Pick
ford, had made a sudden trip to Lon
don by airplane on Sunday With the
departure OF Pickford all the members
OF the gay party. which proved fatal
to olive Thomas have faded from the
scene of the tragedy.
Owing to the absence OF the husband
and most of the dead actress friends
1t was considered unlikely today that
any funeral services will be held be-
fore the body, is shipped to the United
States for burial.
The Thomas case took this sensa-
tional turn after apparently having been
closed. The judicial refused to accept
the report of Police Commissionaire
Catrou that Miss Thomas death was
accidental. The judges held that the
evidence was insufficient. 1t was based
mainly upon the testimony of the hus-
band, Jack Pickford, who said that his
wife had drunk quantity Of bicholoride
of mercury solution by mistake after
returning TO her apartment in the Ritz
last Sunday after a gay night among
the Mont Martre dance resorts.
