C., July 12—(%} —A coroner's jury, unwilling to call it suicide, accident or murder, has ascribed the death of young Smith Reynolds to “a party or varties un-| known.” i The verdict, coming late Monday night after sensational and intimate testimony, had the immediate effect of freeing from custody the young to-} bacco heir's widow—the torch sing- ing Libby Holman—and 19-year-old Albert Walker, his chum. Whether it will end official interes: in the death of the 20-year-old Rey- nolds following a corn whiskey party at his estate early on the morning of July 6, is undetermined. The grand jury was called to meet Tuesday. Walker had been in jail two days as a material witness. Tuesday he} was believed to be in seclusion at the | home of friends here. Mrs. Reynolds who, as Libby Hol- man, was a Broadway favorite before her marriage last year to the young heir to part of the R. J. Reynolds to- bacco millions, remained at the Rey- nolds estate where her husband was shot. With her were her parents. Although in a state of collapse fol- lowing her husband's deuth, she had} been under guard there until Monday night's non-commital verdict freed her from custody. Numerous developments, many sen- eational, marked the final day of the coroners’ inquest. Six Hour. Session Beginning in early afternoon, ques- tioning of witnesses, led by Mrs. Rey- nolds, occupied a six-hour session. The jury heard the 26-year-old widow, daughter of a Cincinnati at torney, describe unhappiness which prompted Young Reynolds to make suicide threats on several occasions. Some of these times, she said, she was led to believe he was crazy. At least once, she said, she expressed the belief to him. That was the last Sun- day he lived. It caused him, she said. to leave her and spend the night at a hotel, from which he said he would go next morning to “have his head examined.” She explained he was melancholy. fearful that a lapse of virility would cost him her love. Once, she said, he urged her to have an affair with another man. To this suggestion, she said, she re-|, piled: “No, no. I told him my love for him was too great to be impaired by any one thing.” Coupled with her revelations of her brief wedded life was Walker's story of the tragic night when, after Smith hhad been “peeved” at Libby all night, the tobacco heir announced he was “going to end it all.” Reynolds rushed up stairs, Walker said, and the sound PROHIBITION PARTY’S NOMINEES William D.

It was the prime minister’s first appearance in the house since his return from Lausanne. Just be- fore he began to speak an official statement was issued correcting an impression that the negotiators at ‘Lausanne had consulted American 9\representatives regarding a “gentle- men’s agreement” that the Lausanne Treaty would not become effective until America scaled down the debts. That impression arose from a speech Monday in the house by Ne- ville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, who said the delegates from Lausanne had consulted not only each other but also representa- tives of the American government. Chamberlain’s statement was in- terpreted by some newspapers as a hint that a secret agreement on war debt revision had been made with the U. S. before Germany's reparations bill was cut’ to three billion gold marks (about $750,000,000). (At Washington Monday Secretary of State Stimson said no representa- tive of the state department had anything to do with framing the so- jealled gentlemen's agreement, -which provides the reparations settlement shall not go into effect until the Uni- ted States scales-down | its claims). The Chamberlain statement was made in the house of commons in ‘ply to an attack by Winston Churchill in which the latter scid that, from his knowledge of public ‘opinion in America, he believed “no more unfortunate approach toward debt cancellation could have been made than the procedure at Lau- sanne.” The chancellor replied it was em- barrassing to him to have to antic- ipate the prime minister's speech Monday, and that Churchill's attack “had done no service to Britain.” “After all,” he said, “we were in touch at Lausanne, not only with European representatives, but we also had an opportunity of conversa- tions with the representatives of the| United States, so we would ask the house to believe that, in this rather delicate situation, we have no reason to think that the course we have taken is going to lead to any of those unfortunate results Mr. Churchill anticipates.” He begged the government not to! j bring the question to a head until jafter the American presidential elec- tion, declaring that to raise it now in the atmosphere of the election would be disastrous to the ever- revision in the United States.

D. The suspected bank robber, his de- scription broadcast on police circu- lars, is Dale Garver, 28. A Cleveland companion also was held. The woman, a striking blonde, was picked up by police and questioned after Cleveland police had been ad- vised by Minnesota autnorities that she was on the way here. held pending the arrival of warrants and additional information from St. Paul. Mrs. Campbell denied she knew the suspected bank robber and claimed; has a husband and a two-year-old son living in Florida. Mrs. Campbell later told newspa- per reporters she met Garver in St. Paul, June 8, had gone with him from there to Chicago and then came to Cleveland nine days ago. She in-' sisted she had no knowledge of the bank robbery. Sleeping in Parks Questioned by police, Mrs. Camp- bell said she had been sleeping in parks for several nights, but that re- cently she had been staying with a “girl friend” here. Acting on a hunch, detectives raced in a squad car to the friend's ad- dress in time to see a sedan pull Another patrol car, howeyer, blocked the way and the automobile was forced to the curb. The two men were arrested. Gar- ver, police said, was carrying a revol- | ver. Their arrest was accomplished only after detectives drew their own Pistols.

Mrs. Bessie Campbell is believed to have left Fargo June 16, the day it became known that Garver and Brown were hunted as the robbers.

PRICE FIVE CENTS pprove Relief Bill Give Noncommital Verdict in Reynolds Death MDONALD ASSERTS ‘Bismarck Pro perty IMEASURE INTENDED TO MEET IDEAS OF PRESIDENT HOOVER Little Change by Committee in Terms of Enactment Pro- posed by Wagner CHANGES FINANCE BODY Directorate of Reconstruction Finance Corporation to Be Revised Washington, July 12—(#)—The new Wagner unemployment relief bill was approved Tuesday by the senate banking committee and prepared for consideration in the senate Tuesday afternoon. In the house, meanwhile, prepara- tions went ahead also for drafting a measure along lines wanted by the administration. The senate committee made vir- tually no change in the bill which was introduced in the senate late Monday by Senator Wagner (Dem., N. Y.) to replace the $2,122,000,000 bill vetoed by President Hoover. It voted an amendment, however, to reorganize the reconstruction cor- poration in accordance with the pres- ident’s recommendation in a special message to congress Monday, increas- ing the membership of the board by one. Another amendment was voted by the committee to prevent loans by the corporation to financial institu- tions, the officers of which have been members of the corporation's board within a year. Provides Individual Loans Included in the new bill approved y the committee is authorization for loans to individuals through federal reserve banks when the federal re- serve board approves. The committee retained in the bill the same restrictions on the $322,- 000,000 public works program that were in the old bill. President Hoover in his veto mes- Sage said they were not adequate. The amendment for reorganizing jthe. corporation would eliminate as ‘members Eugene Meyer, governor of the federal reserve board, and Paul Bestor, farm loan commissioner, as members of the board. Unanimous approval was given to, the amendment except that Senator Glass (Dem. Va.), objected to in- creasing the board's size. The relief bill as it now stands, ready for senate consideration, still carries a total relief program of $2,- 100,000. The only major change from the bill which the president vetoed, is |substitution of the provision for in- dividual loans through federal re- |serve board for loans through the | reconstruction corporation. The Senate has given unanimous consent to take the bill up as soon las it has disposed of the pending home loan discount. bill, sometime Tuesday. Veto Message Sharp The white house veto m which stopped short the old bill Mon- day criticized as violating “every sound principle of public finance and government” Speaker Garner's plan for loans to individuals from the re- construction finance corporation. Thus was made a campaign issue of unusual potentialities. Democrats accepted the presiden- tial attitude without a vote in either house to override his veto. They sought Tuesday to put through a scheme under which federal reserve. banks could lend to private indivi- duals in need if the federal reserve board approved. Some Republicans | supported this plan, too. Eliminates One Item The new bill includes everything in the vetoed proposal save the loans to individuals—even to the $322,000,- 000 for public works. Its total re- mains $2,122,000,000. It allows an ad- dition of $1,800,000,000 to the $2,000,- 000,000 already available to the re- construction corporation, including $300,000,000 for loans to states. Leaders of both parties in senate and house worked to pass a new measure quickly. Senator Wagner made the necessary parliamentary maneuvers for action in his branch while house majority leaders in- dicated they would go along. Second Vote Denied ‘When the house received this mes- sage, about an hour after congres- sional action had been completed, Re- publicans tried for a vote on the veto. Democrats conceded they did not have the necessary two-thirds maj- ority and successfully blocked the vote by sending the message to com- mittee. Hoover immediately followed up with another message asking that the reconstruction corporation's Girectent ate be increased from seven to eight and that the federal reserve board governor and the farm loan commis- expected Hillsboro, N.
