QUIzzED IN DEATH
Wife, SOCIAL LEADER

White Plains, n. Y, Oct. g
Charles Webb will be glad to testi-
fy tomorrow or Monday at the in
vitation Of District Attorney Row
land, before the grand jury which is
investigating the death of his wife
at the fashionable Westchcster- Bilt-
more country club two weeks ago,
his attorney, Colonel Howard Thay-
er kingsbury informed Mr.. Rowland
this afternoon. Colonel kingsbury
added his client would have no hes
itancy in waving immunity from
prosecution.
Unaware that the grand jury had
recessed for the day, Mr.. Webb
came to White Plains this after
noon and waited in the Office across
the street from the court house
while Colonel kingsbury told Mr..
Rowland his client was ready to
face the jurymen and answer the
lnnuendoes of friends OF Mrs. Webb
who already had testified. The
grand jury has decided to continue
hearing evidence after listening to
the report yesterday of Doctor Alex

examined the vital organs from
Mrs. Webbs body. The report was
understood to have stated less than
one twentieth of enough poison to
have caused death was found in the
dead Woman's organs.
Westchester county officials had
stated frequently that if the toNicol-
oGists report failed to show a fatal
amount of poison the case would be
dropped. and the inference was
allowed to remain today that the
grand jury in continuing to take
evidence. desired to learn il Mr..
Webb had any counter charges to
make and at the same time leave no
possible ground for further criti-
cism should the case be dropped.
Returning to New York on. the
train, Mr.. Webb denied flatly
statements attributed yesterday to
relatives of Mrs. Webb TO the effect
that his refusal to tell Mrs. Webb
the name OF Il blonde woman he ad-
dressed at a social function as

with his wife early in their mar
riage.. Mr.. Webb asserted he could
not recall any such incident He
added he had never had reason to
