PROBE INTO DEATH
HINGES ON AUTOPSY
Wealthy New Jersey Member
of Florida Winter Colony
Dies MysteriousIy.
hx the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, April A.
on the result Of an autopsy performed
late yesterday upon the body Of A.
Romeyne Pierson, IT,, wealthy resident
Of Ridgewood, N. j., yesterday hung the
findings Of coroner's jury investigat-
ing The death Of the clubman.
Pierson, well known in the fashion,
able Winter colony and member of
many exclusive clubs, was found dead
in his home yesterday under mysterious
circumstances.
The coroner's jury yesterday was un-
willing to accept the evidence it OBJ
tanned at its first hearing as final, and
ordered the autopsy. The post-mortem
was completed yesterday, but DR.. v. NJ.
Jared refused to disclose his findings
until today, when he was expected to
appear before the coroner.
Nurse Is Witness.
Miss Minnie Vincent, q nurse EN-.
ployed since Sunday for Mrs. Pierson,
was the principal witness at the first
session of the coroner's jury. She said
she had been called to the Pierson home
TO care for Mrs. Pierson, Ill as the re-
suit of an overdose of medicine.
ACCORDING 20 MrS. ElerSOn ana MISS
Vincent, PierSon had been drinking
and went to Mrs. Persons room Mon
day night, spending about an hour be-
fore they could persuade him to return
to his own room. Both testified that
Pierson and his wife had argued.
On the way to his room, the women
testified, Pierson stumbled and fell to
the floor. They said they were unable
to lift him, so they left him on the
moor, Mrs. Pierson placing o pillow
under his head and covering him with
o blanket.
Miss Vincent said she returned about
o'clock In the morning and said
Pierson appeared to be sleeping soundly.
Physician Contradicts Testimony.
Returning again about o'clock, she
said, he had stopped breathing. A
physician was summoned and found
the man dead.
Although both Miss Vincent and
Mrs. Pierson testified that Pierson had
been drinking, Dr. w. N. WeemS. Pier
sons physician, declared he had been
with him a short time Monday night
when Pierson appeared sober. Others
testified to having seen Pierson Mon
day night, apparently In good health.
