CORONER FINDS ADAMS
Deliberately slain
Calhoun Comments on
"GruesOme Conduct" of
Weather Mans Wife

Hartford, April Ri-Deliberate
murder without legal provocation is
stressed in the report OF Coroner j.
Gilbert Calhoun on the death Of
Harry Emerson Adams, federal me-
teorologist in this city. Adams suf-
fered death from asphyAia when his
wife, Mrs. Olive s. Adams, wadded
chloroform soaked handkerchief
over his mouth and nostrils as he
lay in bed last Saturday night.
The coroner points out that Mrs.
Adams action was not defensive
one. for her husband lay sleep
ing at the time.
The woman acted not only with
generalization when she put the
handkerchief to her husbands face
but persisted in that feeling all
during the night. and allowed no re-
pentance or regret to alter her de-
cision."
Affairs between the couple on the
night of the crime prior to the time
when the weather man was mur-
dered were harmonious. Coroner
Calhoun reports. He mentions the
"gruesome conduct on the part of
Mrs. Adams in reposing during the
long hours of the night beside the
man she had put to death.
Coroner Calhoun filed his report
with the clerk of the superior court
yesterday afternoon. The repo4 was
witnessed by Detective Sergeants
Charles Daley and John D. McSwce-
gan, investigators OF the murder.
