"silent DEATH" lethal carbon mon

The engine of her 12-cylinder
sports car spread the gas through
the Davidson garage early Wednes-
day morning, last week, and the
22-year-old girl, who came to this
fashionable winter resort bride
two months ago, went quickly,

said there was not sufficient

He said no poison, other than
carbon monoXide, was found in

Tells of BOdy's Position
Mrs. Davidson's body could not,
however, have fallen into the

have said the heiress' body was
found lying across the running
board, half in and half out of

chief of the Brotherhood of Loco

victory in his fight to escape SEN
tence on his conviction of mis-
application of funds from the
Standard Trust Company, of

The Cincinnati Court Of Ap-
peals reversed the conviction,
holding Johnston was improperly
convicted on the evidence pro-
duced, and remanded the case for
new trial. Johnston never had
been sentenced.
It was considered highly prob
able that Johnson would not come
to trial again, principally because
C. Stirling Smith, former presi-
