Scrivener was not afflicted with
any disease.
49, Refutes Police Claim
"At the Coroner's inquest" he
said, II refused to testify and
took advantage Of medical ethics
not to do so. Since then the in
ference has been made that the
Police Department had said that
I admitted Scrivener had a malig-
nant disease.
I deny this unqualifiedly. I
had been Scrivener'S personal
physician for q long time, and
] examined him more than once.
At the time Of his death he had
no disease whatever.
"I didn't like to get involved
In this case and refused to testify
before the coroner's jury, but am
teStifying at this time in order
to clear my own name and that
Of Arthur Scrivener's.
Mrs. John F. Maragon, who was
Scrivener's fiancee at the time
OF his death, Is expected to tell
the Grand Jury today that Major
Henry G. Pratt, then chief of de-
tectives, sent Lieut.. Edward J.
Kelly, depoSed chief of the homi
. eide squad, to her house at NC
Lean, Va, one night. She is ex-
pected to say that Kelly took her
into the kitchen alone and
quizzed her for an hour and a
half.
Suggested Her Infection
She will say that Kelly told her
Scrivener had an insidious dis
ease and that he wanted her to
let a physician examine her to
see if she had it.
She will say that she told Kelly
the very suggestion of such q
thing was insulting to her.
Maragou himself will tell Of
returning to Washington three
months after Scrivener was killed
and of Kelly telling him that
Scrivener had committed suicide
because "he had a disease"

ner kept company before he met
the present Mrs. Maragon, was
in the grand jury room for As
minutes. When she came out she
was exceedingly nervous and re.
fused to have anything to say
about her testimony.
At the coroner's inquest, how.
ever, she told Of the conversation
with ScriVener a little more than
. day before he was slain. She
said he had suggested that they
start things all over again." but
that she refused and wished him
much happiness" in his coming
wedding.
Parents Ignored
She declared that he had re.
piled:
well. Katherine. I'm not mar
Eied yet, and God knows what
will happen"
District Attorney Leo A. Rover
said today that he will not take
q deposition from scrivener's
parents in Winchester, Va. He
gave as his reason that such an
instrument could not be legally
used before Grand Jury.
Scrivener'S parents have said
that a letter written by their son
@ few weeks before his death told
Of his coming marriage and how
happy he was over it. This let
ter, they said, was stolen during
the funeral.
