INVESTIGATION
IS MADE into
WOMAN'S DEATH
Seattle Case May Result
Unexpected Develop
ments-One Is Held

SEATTLE. July &c. State,
County and City authorities spent
yesterday in an intense criminal
investigation into the mystery
surrounding the death of Miss
Violet Payne, music teacher. who
disappeared last Wednesday after
a party aboard f. Creigh Nelson s
yacht and whose body was found
Saturday.
The eoroner's jury, after DELHI
Grating two hours. returned a re-
port expressing belief Miss
Payne's death was accidental, as
a possible result of drowning,
and further declared that the
male members of the party were
towards and morally respon-
sible" for the girls death because
they made no effort to rescue her
Sensational Developments
Some officials expressed the be-
lief the girl might not have met
death by drowning and pointed
to testimony that the space be-
tween the boat and the dock was
insufficient to allow a woman 5
body to fall into the water and
promised unexpected and sensa-
tional developments"
Nelson Released
Nelson was released from GUS
tody on $4,000 bond furnished
by his mother. He is a material
witness and refused to testify
against A. F. Bell. skipper of the
yacht, Mrs. A. r. German and
E. e. Barrisigton. Assistant Sec
retary of the Seattle Yacht Club,
members of the party. They were
released without bonds on open
charges. The three testified that
Miss Payne slipped into the lake
and little effort was made to res
cue her.
Darlington testified that he
joined the drinking party aboard
the yacht. AS he was leaving
early Wednesday morning, Miss
Payne slipped into the water. He
jumped in and made futile eff
fort to rescue her. He then
agreed with the other members
of the party to hush up the death
and report she mysteriously van
ished from the party and keep
Nelson's name out of the affair
Testimony of others was practi-
cally the same.
More Action Demanded
Mrs. Mabelle Fielder, sister of
Miss Payne, demanded more
thorough investigation into the
latter's death, although the cor
oner's jury absolved four persons
from criminal responsibility.
Officials OF the Seattle Yacht
Club said the part played by
Nelson in hushing up the incl
dent would be special order OF
business to be considered by the
club Thursday night.
Prosecutor Colvin said he would
confer with Coroner Jones again.
The latter said: ''Science is with
us now. There is no need to
have the funeral now, or as long
as there is a possibility of new
light on the case"
