CAP)-Post mortem examination of
the body of Mrs. Laura Biddle,
prominent Philadelphia Society ma
iron, and wife of Craig Biddle,
wealthy sportsman, led county au-
topsy Surgeon A. F. Wagner to an
nounce late today that death was
probably due to alcoholism. He said
he would not enter that cause Of
f1cially in records. however. until a
chemical analysis Of the stomach
and vital organs had been complet-
ed.
Mrs. Biddle was found dead in her
apartment yesterday. Bruises dis
covered on the body led police to
open an investigation which was
speeded up when detectives reported
they had difficulty gathering any in
formation from occupants and at
taches of the apartment house.
In line with the post mortem find
ings. Deputy District Attorney Har-
old l.. Davis announced that he was
told by DR.. Joseph S. Cipes, Mrs.
Biddles private physician, that she
had partaken largely of intoxicants in
the last few years, and the findings
paralleled the patients history as he
knew it.
DIR. Cipes, who examined the body
as it was found late yesterday by

trouble from which Mrs. Biddle had
suffered was the cause of death.

they believed to be liquor in Mrs.
Biddles apartment yesterday.
DIR. Wagner expressed belief that
bruises discovered on the body were
caused when she fell or rolled off the
bed shortly before she died.
