BORDEAUX INQUEST
SET FOR THURSDAY
Acting Coroner Strickland
Says Case Pres nts
Many Obstacles

A coroner's inquest into the death
of Mrs. E. F. Bordeaux, slain
mother of three young children
and wife of local carpenter who
is employed by Carolina Millwork
company, will be held Thursday
night in the Grand Jury room OF
the court house, Acting Coroner
E. L. Strickland said last night.
A jury was impanelled yester-
day, afternoon and the body was
viewed. The jury is composed of
Joseph Sullivan, George West
brook, F. F. Hunt, Jr., E. A. Nc
Hayden, John Plat and Slade
Fisher.
Mrs. Bordeaux died from a stab
in the back supposedly inflicted
by Mrs. Corene Graham Collins,
divorce and mother of two young
boys, Sunday afternoon during a
squabble between the two women.
Police said Mrs. Collins reported
the trouble arose from a children's
row, said to have taken place in
a public playground at Riverside
apartments, near the residences of
the Bordeaux and Harvey Grain
ger, brother-in-law of Mrs. Collins
with whom she said she had been
living since before Christmas last
year.
Hearing Postponed
A previously scheduled Recorders
Court hearing in the case was post
poned yesterday morning pending
gathering of further evidence and
finding of witnesses who know any
thing connected with the case,
Acting Coroner Strickland said
last night that the case so far
presented more obstacles than any
he has been connected with. He
said that to date there have been
no witnesses found. When asked if
the 10-year-old niece of Mrs. Col.
Inns who was said to have been
IN the playground and witnessed
the ARRAY between her aunt and
Mrs. Bardeaux, would be used as a
witness, he said that present indi-
cations are that she will not testify.
So far as could be learned the
State is without evidence other than
Mrs. Collins story and the posi-
bllity that her niece may testify.
Rhodes Retained
W.. K. Rhodes, Jr.. has been re-
tanned as counsel for Mrs. Collins,
ne said last night. He said that so
lar ne had not gathered any evil
dence other than his clients state
ments.
Meanwhile, police officials said
the case was "closed' so far as
their work is concerned. However.
Detective E. B. Murray told re-
porters later that the investigation
into the death of Mrs. Bordeaux
is continuing.
