SUICIDE ATTEMPT
|. CONv|CTS DUCHESS
Sentence May BE Passed
Saturday on Former
May Etheridge.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 1.-THE Duchess of
LeinSter, the former May Etheridge.
British musical comedy star, was found
guilty in court here today of an at
tempt to commit suicide in an apart
ment she rented recently as Mrs. VIII
liamS"
The duchess was remanded in custody
until Saturday for a medical report,
when sentence probably will be passed
During the hearing testimony was
given to the effect that she had been
living with a youthful chef named
Stanley Williams with whom she quar-
relied. Williams said he left the nat
and when he returned found her on
the kitchen floor with the gas turned
on.
An attempt to frighten Williams after
their quarrel was the reason given by
the duchess for her being found with
the gas jets open.
Williams admitted that he had been
living on the duchess money for SIX
months.
The 38-year- duchess whose mar
riage into the nobility created a great
stir in England in 1919, has been
separated from her husband for some
time. Since the present case, the duke,
through counsel, gave notice in court
that he was planning divorce suit.
