~ the Associated Press.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, March
16.-Police looked to an autopsy to-
day to determine how Mrs. Edward
Ooherty, wife of a national mag
Azire writer, met death in wooded
Benedict Canyon.
The body of the 41-year- old wom-
an was found in a sloping thicket by
an army of searchers yesterday,
nearly "a hours after she went on
. hike.
Officers said she probably had be-
come lost and fallen from narrow
trail down a rocky incline Tuesday
night. She had telephoned her hus-
band in the afternoon that she
planned a walk into the hills from
the home Of Writer Richard Carroll,
their host.
The Dohertys had come here sew
eral months ago from Larchmont,
N. Y, and had arranged to return
today.
More than 200 officers and civil
lans, seven planes and blimp from
the sheriff's aerial squadron were
pressed into the hunt. Among the
searchers was Barney Oldfield, old
time automobile racer and friend
of Mr.. Doherty.
Its Mildred-my wife," the
writer gasped, when searchers led
him to the body. IL expected
something worse. I guess I can
take it."
Their marriage eliminated a
newspaper romance when Mr..
Doherty was still a reporter in Chi
cago. Once an actress in silent pic
lures under the name of Mildred
Frisby," Mrs. Doherty became movie
editor of Chicago paper as Mil
dred Spain" She started one of
the earliest Hollywood gossip COL
umns. Famed as beauty, she had
posed for wartime posters.
The couples two sons, Edward,

of Mrs. Doherty's death.

to remedy the situation by teaching
the ladies to stand around on the

Monday morning that she had died

where she was loved as wife,
daughter and mother. OF the i'm

mon was an untiring worker, in

Because of poor choice of the

a show that should have played
to a packed house was seen Sept.

terrific beating because the dance
was a colossal flop.
We suggest that same show be
staged a month from date under
management of the cast at the

furnished by Dolores COdrington,

hearsed the cast. Said suggestion
would give the cast chance to
