BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
LEAPS TO DEATH
Marks Words exit Smiling
On Wall Of Room Before
Fatal Plunge

DETROIT, March 8.-R-A tall,
raven-haired Michigan beauty who
deserted her husband and child
seven years ago for New York's
bright lights marked the words
exit smiling" on the wall of her
hotel room before dawn today and
leaped II stories to death.
In her room, strewn with expen.
sive clothing, police s.ound a large
amount OF emotional poetry, and a
not protesting love for William S.
Paley Of New York, president Of the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
Relatives here identified her as
Geraldine Kenyon Bourque, wife of
an automobile worker at nearby
Pontiac, Mich. She had registered
at the downtown (Book.C adillac)
hotel as u. Stoddard, 4O4 East 55th
street, New York"
At New York Paley said he had
met a johanna Stoddard' about a
year aSo; that she sought his aid
but had no talent that would Justify
putting her on the air. Mrs. Paley
and I both talked to her several
times trying to straighten her OUT
Paley said, adding that finally she
wrote him she had developed an
emotional attachment" for him. A
few days ago, he said, he was in
formed she was going to Michigan
and then to Arizona.
Neither Dan Bourque, who lives
at Pontiac with their daughter, ow
s years old, nor an aunt, Mrs. Jane
Osborn of Detroit, could fill in the
story of the years since Mrs. Bour.
que disappeared from her home at
Pontiac until she registered at the
hotel here March 4.
In he" room were pictures of beau
tiful and exotic women, clipped from
fashion magazines, some of them So
closely resembling Mrs. Bou- lue
that police believed she may have
been a model. There were receipts
for hotel accounts in New York, $3.50
in cashiers checks and $3.50 in cash.
In Detroit stores, Wednesday and
Thursday, she purchased two silver
fox wraps, one valued at 1898 and
one at $409, paying for them wit
travellers checks. One she wore in
her death plunge.
An artists easel with paint an6
brushes stood in a corner of the
room. Mrs. Bourque apparently usee
one of these brushes to print the
