Prosecuting Attorney Stephan, said Mrs. Southard’s matrimonial record was being investigated for the pur- pose of determining the causes and fixing the responsibility for the deaths of three other former husbands, an infant child by Robert Dooley, her first husband, and Dooley's brother Edward. Insurance in which Mrs. Southard was the beneficiary, was carried on the lives of all five men, Stephan said, and of which she is said to have collected at least $9,500. Prosecutor Stephan said he had in lis possession evidence which would establish ~ that poison caused the deaths of Robert C. Dooley, William G. McHaffie, Harlan C. Lewis and Edward F. 'Meyer, respectively her first, second. third and fourth hus- bands, and Edward Dooley, brother of Ler first husband. Stephan said the bodies of these men had been ex- humed and the contents of their stomachs analyzed and a deadly poison had been found. The poison in each case was said to have been the same.

No definite announcement has been made, but until today the general im- pression had been that Dr. Hill would take the ambassadorship to Tokio. Because he had obligated himself to spend the summer in Europe on pri- Vate business, however, he decided he could not take the Tokio appointment, which officials here want to fill in the immediate future. He is understood to have so informed the President at today's_conference. Dr. Hill expects to sail for Europe within the next two weeks and wili be gone until late in the fall.
