Monty planned to be married in
December when he would be 81
and his mother couldn't make
trouble" Mrs. Thorne has de-
MED the engagement and has
testified Monty had several other
girl friends.
Young Thorne's shorts-clad
body was found in his hotel room
June 10 when Miss Ragen be-
came alarmed because he did
not keep a date and couldn't be
reached by telephone. Needle
punctures were found in his
arms and a hypodermic syringe
was found in the closet.
A physician testified the marks
were such that they could not
have been the result of a self
administered injection.
Sergt. Thomas Mulvey, head
of the police investigation, said
a months study of the evidence
does not indicate violent death
either at young Thorne's own
hands or by others.
