Non-InterVention Pact
Seen Nearing Its End

MOON, July 81 Q.N.SO
Europe's non-intervention effort to
confine SPANS civil war within
Spanish boundaries was seen near
ing its end today.
The British compromise non
intervention plan is considered
dead, it was learned, although no
nation is willing to take re,
sponsibility for admitting it's col
lapse. Diplomats said it virtually
was impossible to bridge the gulf
between the attitudes of Italy and
Germany on one hand and France
and Soviet Russia on the other
regarding the granting of belliger-
ent rights to the contenders.
At present, it was revealed, the
British government favors a policy
of marking time" but eventually
contemplates a declaration Of
neutrality, coupled with granting
the warning factions belligerent
rights on its own initiative.

OWu uus
Codona shot himself in a law
yer's office a few seconds after he
lighted a cigarette for his former
wife and pumped four bullets into
her body. The wife, Vera Bruce
Codona, herself a noted aerialist,
was near death in hospital.
Mrs. Codona was given four
blood tranSfusionS during the
night, followed by a major oper-
alton to remove two of the bullets.
Doctors admitted they did not eX-
pect her to survive.
Her Mother a Spectator
The shooting climaxed a confer
ence between the couple in the Of.
flee of James E. Pawson, Long
Beach attorney. A Mortified spec
tator was Mrs. Anna Bruce, Mrs.
Codona's mother. She told Off
GERS Codona and his former wife
were discussing distribution of the
mementoeS of the days when they
were famous.
Mrs. Codona took out a cigarette
and Codona lighted it for her, the
mother said. Then the trapeze
artist told his former wife:
"Vera, this is all you have left
for me to do"
Then he whipped out a gun,
fired four shots into his wife and
sent the fifth bullet through MS
own head.
A few minutes before the shoot
ing Codona had asked Pawson to
leave the room and had locked the
door, the attorney said.
Gave Up Her Career
Mrs. Codona, 81, gave up her
career as a trapeze performer
when her husband was forced into
retirement from an injury suffer
ed in Madison Square Garden in
1888. Codona had been operating
a garage here since then. He is
AZ.
He formerly was the husband of
Lillian Leitzal, another world re-
nowned trapeze artist who died in
a fall in Copenhagen in 1880.
Codona married Miss Bruce in
1882. Last July l she won an in
terlocutory decree of divorce.
Codona reasoned that should his
partner fall he would be there to
break her fall with his own body.
1t was during one of Codona'S
performances in Germany that
his first wife, Miss Leitzel, fell
to the kind of death that both had
feared. She was one of Codona's
most enthusiastic fans when he
performed. She would always
watch his performance from the
ring and was ofttimes heard to
remark:
