LOS ANGELES, Feb.
%. - Added light was
thrown today on the mur-
der last Saturday night of
E. L. Doheny, jr., and the
suicide of his slayer and
confidential secretary,
Theodore H. Plunkett.
For some six months,
"Ted" Plunkett had pos
sibly been a more or less
habitual user of verona!
and other similar drugs,
an independent investiga-
tion by the, Examiner dis
closed.
Using SedatlveS
Almost to the very last
days climax of sudden un-
reasoning murder and sui
eide, Plunkett had been
using these supposedly
mild sedatives, it was
learned, to relieve the
nervous tension under
which he was laboring
and to bring him relief
from the insomnia pro-
duced by that nervous
condition.
The disclosure that
"Ted" Plunkett had pos
sibly became addicted to
the use Of veronal and the
other barbituric acid de-
rivatives, came from DR.,
E. C. Fishbaugh, personal
physician for the younger
Doheny and his family,
and for the past year and
a ha,f the physician for
Plunkett as we'll.
Bought Over Counter
DR.. Fishbaugh revealed that
several weeks ago, after
Plunkett's nerves began to
give way entirely, the latter
revealed to him that he was
using veronal and other similar
compounds to produce sleep
and ease his nerves.
These drugs, DR.. Fishbaugh
said, had been purchased by
his patient over the counter
at drug stores. At the time
he began to take them, there
was absolutely no legal re-
straint against their sale by
druggists.
