mittee, though in recess because of the
illness Of Senator Wheeler. today de-
cided to dig farther into the circum-
stances surrounding the death of Jess
Smith, Daugherty's intimate friend
who was found dead, supposedly q
suicide in Daugherty's apartment last
May.
Though Mrs. Roxie Stinson, Smiths
divorced wife, expressly denied any
intention Of limiting at the possible
murder of Smith when she testified
before the committe Saturday, Senator
Brookhart today announced the com
mittee had decided ito investigate all
phases Of the alleged suicide of Smith, 50
in view Of the fact no autopsy had
been performed at the time OF his
death.
While no subpoena has been issued
for DR.. J. Ramsay hewitt. District OF
Columbia coroner, Brookhart said he
expected to call him to explain the
failure to perform an autopsy and
other circumstances surrounding
Smiths death
No Need for One
There was no need for an au.
tOpsy." DR.. hewitt told the United
Press today. 1T was a plain case
OF suicide. II l ever saw one. There
was no mystery about It and no sus-
pioious circumstances. so issued a
certificate of death by suicide with
out an autopsy"
Before Mrs. Stinson takes the stand

Refusal of Daugherty to produce
the books is likely TO lead TO contempt
proceedings against him in the SEN
ate and possibly a long court fight II
he holds his ground. Counsel for
Daugherty take the position only &C
counts relating to Jesse Smith should
be inspected. while the committee de-
mands all books shall be opened to IT,.
