Dies Calling Hart’s Name. Mrs. 'avanaugh, who was 35 years old, died in the Hospital of the Volun- teers of America of spinal trouble and softening of the brain.

Washing- ton police searched her apartment at that time for the fugitive. Hart was sentenced to life in the itentiary for alleged complicity in hold-up and murder of Charles Norris, a Baltimore contractor.
