Autopsy Ordered
In Mystery Death
Of Pretty Cir!

SAN JOSE, Cal, Dec. II. cUP)-
A second autopsy within "a hours
will attempt to solve today the
puzzling death of pretty red-hair-
ed young girl found dead of chlor-
oform on a lonely stretch of farm
road.
The girls name could not be
learned. There were no marks of
identification in the fur coat or
other clothing she wore. Her body
was still warm. She had been
dead only about an hour.
Sheriff George Lyle said there
was a possibility the girl might
have committed suicide although
he was far from convinced this
had happened.
He and other investigators ad-
vanced the theory the girl might
have been the victim of an labor
ton murder" They said she might
have died while being prepared for
an illegal operation and her body
left on the road.

to run guns into Bolivia and Spain,
to bootleg and adulterate drugs
and engage in other illegal activi-
ties was reported by the federal
authorities.
Gregory F. Noonan. acting U. S.
district attorney, said that the
evidence of large scale munitions
deals by Musica- -Coster had reach
ed such proportion that he had
called a conference of all investi-
eating agencies to discuss that
phase on Monday.
In three Connecticut cities, the
government, creditors and stock
holders moved to tie up the re-
naming assets of the corporation
now operated by two trustees.
Tax Payment Demanded
Thomas S. Smith, U. S. collector
of internal revenue at Hartford
said his office would make demands
soon upon McKesson & Robbins
for payment of S204 900 taxes. The
payment was due Dec. l5, and
Smith explained that never before
mad the company failed to meet
its payments on time.
John M Kantor, a promoter, ar
rived on the scene today with 6
story that a McKeSson Robbins
representative had approached him
and asked him TO find market
for 250000 Lee Enfield, military
type rifles.
He testified secretly before the
securities and exchange commits
sion but was promptly jailed for
his notoriety on a complaint from
Stratford, Conn.,. that he was
wanted on an oil stock SWindling
charge.
Cover-Up Plan Fails
Assistant United States Attorney
Irving R. kaufman learned that
Saunders Norvell, who was board
chairman of the old McKesson-
Robbins firm before 'Coster- Musica
bought and expanded it in 1926,
had later become president of the
Remington Arms company.
The report reached Wall Street
that Coster- MuSica had evolved q
scheme a few weeks ago that might
have concealed the Swindle for
ever had not Investigations brought
the crisis on too quickly. His plan,
it was said, was to buy the autono-
nous crude drugs department,
which had the entire $4,000, 900
shortage, using his 100000 shares
of common stock as part OF the
collateral, and to dissolve it quiet
ly. covering his tracks.
S18,0GO,000 Shortage
Present indications were that the
brothers, Philip at least, had caus-
ed an S18,000000 shortage in the
listed assets of the firm. This was
the valuation of the crude drugs
department which was found to
be non existent except in name
Its assets were supposed to include
six warehouses stocked with sup
plies in Canada, worth $4,000 000,
and 100000 in bills payable to
the department from firms all over
the world.
Such a loss would bite heavily
into the listed $87 100000 assets OF
the company. However some o.
this money might be located, or
recovered from the personal prop
erty of the Musicas.

Robbins stock has been suspended
on the New York Exchange, il is
