Plunkett had refused to 20.
Clad in Night Clothes
Young Doheny was clad in night
clothing and a robe when his body
was found on the floor of Plunkett $

DR.. ~Fishbaugh. the first 10 sec the

Doheny had gone to Plunkett's room
late in the evening TO observe his
condition and that he had found the
secretary TO be in a mentally SER
ious condition.
A pillow. from one Of the twin
beds, had been neatly placed upon
a chaise lounge, indicating 10 the
officials that Doheny had tried 10
quiet Plunkett by having him lie
down. That Plunkett refused was
indicated by the unruffled pillow.
Edward L. Doheny, founder OF the
huge oil business. which he had
put largely in the hands Of his son,
collapsed when called from his home
across the street. He recovered
quickly, however. and assured his
friends he would face the situation
stoically. He Is ~ years old. His
wife. mother Of the younger Doheny,
remained at home.
