Husband Challenges
Suicide Verdict il,
Death Of Blind Wife

A suicide ruling In the death
of q blind Silver Spring mother
of twins after taking q dose Of
barbiturates early yesterday drew
bitter criticism today from the
victims husband.
The dead woman was Mrs.
Alicia H. Lehman, Al, of 84il
Piney Branch court. who had
been working toward q masters
degree ia psychology.
Mrs. Lehman was pronounced
dead at Washington Sanitariun1.
Takoma Park, at 4:35 am. We'd
nesday after unsuccessful efforts
to revive her.
DR.. Frank j. Broschart, Ment-
gomery County medical examin-
er, issued the suicide verdict
after viewing the body at the
hospital.
Blood Analysis Awaited.
Her husband, Robert s. Len-
man disputed this action and
said he feels certain the cause
is not from an overdose of bar
biturates." He added that, GAS
of now. we don't know the cause
of death" and said that would be
determined after DR.. Broschart
gets back a finding on blood
specimens taken from the. dead
woman.
Mr.. Lehman said his wife had
been as cheerful as usual Tues
day night before they went to
bed and said there were no writ
ten or verbal intentions of her
committing suicide. Tuesday
night, he said, they talked about
getting a washing machine for
the family and about her join
ing an honor fraternity.
About 3 am, he said. she
awoke him to say she had taken
some pills and was feeling i'll.
The pills. Mr.. Lehman said. had
been prescribed for her by a ply
siciap because she had COM
planned of being unable to sleep.
Taken to Hospital.
Mr.. Lehman called a doctor
and was told TO take his wife to
a hospital, he said. She lost
consciousness on the way, he
added.
Mr.. Lehman, who works for an
insurance company, said there
were two bottles of the barbitu-
rate in the room, one apparently
unused and the other which
contained only or 3 when Mrs.
Lehman took them. He said this
is the basis of his belief that
she did not take an overdose.
DR.. Broschart, however, said
the intent doesn't make any
difference-death resulted from
what she did" He added, how
ever, that he could change the
findings If the blood tests indi-
cate something else caused Mrs.
Lehman's death.
The couple was married in
1886. Their children are 12-
year-old twins. Beth and Jona-
than.
Mrs. Lehman, blind since she
was 8 years old, was a native
of New Orleans who studied
piano at the Cincinnati Con-
servatory of Music and in Paris
and earned an ABB. degree in
political science at the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati. She had been
gathering material for the last
two years for a thesis toward
