DR. Wynekoop, a haggard figure
with greying hair and wearing out
moded clothes, had denied exist
ence of an insurance policy only a
few minutes before investigators
discovered the certificate.
The aged woman, whose family
has been prominent for years in
Chicago medical circles, then told
coroner's officers that she had no
part in taking out the insurance.
DR. Wynekoop testified at a corr

body with bullet in the heart,
on an operating table in the base

She was unable to aid investiga-

for the Staying. Her only theory
was that some drug addict might
