Woman Once Spared
As Thug's 'sGun Failed
Kills Man and Self
Oven and Cos Jets Open,
Two Bodies Found
Ir Apartment

A young woman who narrowly
escaped death in December at the
kands OF a gunman when q bullet
in his revolver turned out to be a
dud was found dead yesterday, q
suicide by gas, and with her in
death was q 36-year-old taxicab
driver.
The dead were Mrs. Katharine
Staples, ~, who was sitting in a
kitchen chair, with the oven and
two gas Jets open, and Hamill Mich
olson, the cab driver, who was in
bed in another room of an apart
ment at 2l36 K street NV. They
had been dead nearly II hours.
After an investigation, Coroner A.
Magruder Macdonald issued a cer-
tif1cate Of homicide and suicide, de-
Gliding Mrs. Staples had turned on
the gas while Mr.. Nicholson was
asleep.
Identified by Policeman.
Pvt. Elmer Smith of the fiSst pre-
cinct went to the District Morgue
late yesterday and identified Mrs.
Staples as the woman who was rid
ing with Mr.. Nicholson last Decem-
Der when he picked up a cab fare at
Twelfth street and New York ave-
nue. NV.
The passenger, a man, showed a
gun IN the back OF the woman, who
was identified to police as Mrs.
Kathryn Nicholson, and snapped
the trigger. The hammer fell on a
dud shell. Police said the man was
caught later and held for the grand
jury on assault charges.
Pvt. Smith said he felt sure" the
woman was the same one who ended
her own life Friday night. Both
Mrs. Staples and Mr.. Nicholson
were married but had been sepa-
rated from their spouses for some
time.
Discovered by Employer.
The tragedy was discovered yes
terday morning by Oakley Kent, $40
Lamont street NV, and Genevieve
Muire OF the K street address. Mr..
Kent, for whom Mr.. Nicholson
worked as cab driver, had gone to
the apartment to find out why Mr..
Nicholson had not been at work the
previous night.
James Henderson, resident mana
ger OF the apartment, had attempted
to arouse the couple Friday to give
them back their dog, which had
been left in his care. He said he
heard the cab driver snoring, and
later that night saw no light in the
Nicholson apartment.
Mr.. Nicholson and Mrs. Staples
were last seen early Friday when

3. Strengthen the prestige of
some of the governments in Latin
America which have openly dis
played their sympathy for Gen.
Franco.
May Become Alarmed.
Other officials, however, argue
that the Latin American govern
ments may become alarmed at the
victory of the Fascist nations in
Spain and, apprehensive over the
prospects of Fascist penetration in
Latin America, may take steps to
prevent It,
These officials cite what they de-
scribe as the case of Germany over
reaching herself in Brazil. South
American nations. disturbed over the
German penetration, took action to
thwart 1t, creating situation be-
tween the two countries which left
Germany In a worse position than
before she sought to extend her in
huence.
They also say much will depend
On the type of government Gen.
Franco maintains in Spain, whether
it will be entirely Fascist or will con-
tain liberal elements, whether it
will be completely under the influ-
ence OF Mussolini and Hitler or
whether Gen. Franco will be able
to shake them off and strike out
for himself.
May Turn to Democracies.
Several officials here said that, in
view of the possible extensive effect
. Franco victory might have on
American interests in Latin America
and the seeming inevitability of his
victory, 1t would be unwise for the
United States to take such a step
as the lifting of the embargo on
the shipment Of arms to Spain
which would serve to antagonize the
insurgent leader.
They thought 1t possible that Gen.
Frsnco, If he wins, might turn to
Great Britain-and perhaps to the
United States-hoping to develop
ties to counterbalance those to the
Fascist states.
Unconfirmed reports that Ger
many, Italy and Japan may propose
q Fascist league Of nations and seek
10 bring ihto it some Latin Amer
lean nations have aroused little off,
oia1 concern.
