JEAN HARLOW s
JURY RECORD
DISAPPEARS
Statement on Bern Death
Gone From Files of the
District Attorney

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10 G.N.S0
Grand jury Investigations today
were reported searching for three
copies Of statement taken by the
district attorneys office in Febru-
airy, 1888, from Jean Harlow,
screen star, relative to the death
on September S, 1882, of her hus-
band, Paul Bern, film producer.
Bern was found shot to death
in the dressing room of his home
in Benedict Canyon. He had been
shot through the head with his
own pistol which was found in his
hand. The death was called a
suicide.
1t was revealed today that Miss
Harlow's statement dealt with the
note found near Bern's body.
Text of thu Note
The note read:
Unfortunately this is the
only way to make good the
frightful wrong l have done to
you and to wipe out my abject
humiliation. You understand
that last night was only a
comedy"
The statement was taken when
the 1882 grand jury and The dis
trict attorneys office suddenly de-
cided to open the Bern case. Miss
Harlow was called before the in
vestigating body in a suite OF
rooms at the Ambassador Hotel.
It is the renting of this suite
with funds from the secret service
fund of the district attorneys
office that is under investigation
by the present grand jury.
Miss Harlow, it was learned,
appeared at the hotel with an
attorney and her mother and
stepfather. She was questioned
by District Attorney Fits and
her statement was taken down by
George Kennedy. shorthand re-
porter. Three copies of the state
ment were made and are now
missing from the files of the
district attorneys office.
Story Not Known
Just what Miss Harlow told the
investigators is not known. How
ever, it was learned, she was
questioned at length concerning
the strange note found by Bern's
body.
Two other statements taken
by the investigators in 1888 are
not in the district attorneys files.
They are those made by John
Carmichael, Bern's butler, and
Mrs. Carmichael.
Yesterday, for the first time,
the statements taken from other
persons connected with the case
were revealed. Most important
was that made by Earl Davis,
gardener employed by Bern. 1t
was learned Davis told the investl-
gators he did not believe Bern
committed suicide.
It also was learned that follow
ing the 1888 investigation, Attor-
ney Fits wrote to Miss Harlow.
telling her that the investigators
were convinced Bern committed
suicide.

HOLDS 8
At AID BUREAU

Three employees Of the local
Transient Bureau, in the 400 block
C st. N. w., are being held for
investigation by police today while
authorities probe the story OF a
man sheltered at the bureau that
he was robbed and taken for a
"ride" by the trio.
Paul Pendergast, %, complained
to police late yesterday that the
three employees had carried him
from the bureau while he was in
toxicated, placed him on a truck
and drove him across the Dis
trict Line into Virginia where he
was dumped onto the road. He
charged also that his wallet, con-
tanning $12.7O and an honorable
discharge certificate from the
Army had been taken.
According to police, the three
employees declared it a common
practice to carry drunken men
from the bureau across the Dis
trict line to keep them out of
the hands of District police.
Those held gave their names
as Marshall j. Hogan, 81; Rob
ert Clark, Is, and Ernest Ham
stack, %. Mr.. Hogan said he
was chief guard at the bureau.
Police declared that while Mr..
Pendergast was relating his story
last night, Mr.. Hamstack came
into the station with the victims
empty wallet, saying he had
found it under a pillow at the

COST Of LIVING
MAKES EARLY
ACTION SURE
Rep. Cross Says Prediction
Difficult; Rep. Rankin to
Study Labor Report

Incoming Congressman will play
an important part in settling the
Federal pay cut controversy, it
was predicted today on Capitol
Hill.
Pointing out there will be many
new faces in the House when it con-
venes January 3 Representative
o. H. Cross CD of Texas, a
member of the powerful House
Banking and Currency Commit
tee, said:
at is hard to tell whether
Congress will restore the re-
naming per cent of Federal
salaries before the economy act
expires or not. There will be
so many new members in the
Seventy-FOurth Congress.
CERTAIN TO RETURN
PERSONALLY 1 am under the
Impression that living costs
have risen considerably and be-
lieve that if the five per cent is
not returned by act of Congress,
1t will be allowed to return auto
matically July l in accordance
with the Presidents wishes"
Another Congressman back at
his desk today is Representative
John E. Rankin CD of Missis-
sippi, who is laying the ground
work in a campaign for speaker
ship.
Won't Commit Himself
Because he has a watchful eye
on the chair, left vacant by the
death last summer of Speaker
Henry T. Rainey, Mr.. Rankin
hedged at committing himself
definitely, but said:
"My position should be fairly
evident from the fact that 1
voted against the original econ
Omy act and voted to override
the Presidents veto.
81 am extremely interested in
whether living costs have risen
as generally as people seem to
believe and will study with a
great deal of interest the De-
partment of LabOr'S report
when issued"
