Says Vosper
Not A Suicide

Actor Postponed for

Eastbourne, Eng. March 81
W.H - Beautiful Muriel o xford,
Miss Britain of 1885" testified
at a coroner's inquest today that
Frank o. Vosper, the 36-year- -old
British playwright. could not have
committed suicide.
He was happy and cheerful at
her gay champagne party during
the last night aboard the S. S.

between him and his friend, Peter
Willes, son of a Well-to-do Eng
lishman, she said. ,-. ..s
There was no reason. she added.
for Vosper to have jumped over
board after leaving the party in
her stateroom. His body. with an
arm broken and a leg torn off,
was found nude and battered near
here on March 81.
Did he show any jealousy"
the coroner asked.
mo" Miss oxford replied.
The jury attempted to reach a
verdict as to the cause of Vosper's
death plunge, but returned and
demanded that the ships captain
and steward testify. Then it ad-
journed until next Monday.
The mystery deepened as to
how Vosper's body could have
drifted 2nO miles from the ships
position "fj4t marine evidence
showed the ar between March
and March II accounted for
only 100 miles.
The coroner's physician testified
that several teeth were knocked
out, the right arm was broken
and the left leg was torn off. He
said the battering of the sea
might have accounted for the
injuries.
