A—10 QUESTON FRIEND | 0 DEAD WRTE Student Was With Him on Tuesday Night. By the Associated Press. WESTPORT. Conn, October 2.—In an effort to clear up some of the strange circumstances in the death of Kenneth Raisbeck, 32-year-old playwright, the Westport police last night sent one of their number to Cambridge, Mass., to question Henry B. Wibbels, jr., former Yale student and friend of the dead man. The officers said they had located | Wibbels at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Fairbanks of Cambridge. E]rllel‘v in'the day they had said Wibbels would answer the description of a youth in whose company Raisbeck was seen Tuesday night, the day before the play- wright's body was found in Christ Church Cemetery. George Green of Ashland, Wis, a cousin of Raisbeck, who came here to seek a thorough investigation into the ., quoted Wibbels as saying last night in a telephone con ation that he was in Cambridge Tuesday and i Wednesday. | Iy up: bore dence his body ei had been dragged to the bushes.or else he had crawled therggin the agonies of death. An’ autopsy indicated death was due to natural causes—acute meningitis— reported Dr. William H. McMahon, medical examiner. He decided to with- hold formal decision, however, until efforts have been made at a coroner’s Inquest to trace Raisbeck’s last move- ents. Police, reporting bruises had been found on the writer's throat and a bloodstain on his shirt, expressed® re- luctance to accept a verdict of natural death at this time. Their attitude was ehared by Green. Left Cambridge Tuesday. Miss Alice Green, another cousin, said Raisbeck, who was a protege of Oliver H. P. Garrett, scenario writer, had left Cambridge, Mass.. Tuesday ning to drive to New York. James Cusack of Westport reported seeing him walking along a road near the cemetery Tuesday evening. He was accompanied by a yvouth of about 20, whose description tallied somewhat with | that of Wibbels Next, he was reported sitting in an automobile with the same youth near the cemetery gate ‘When found Wednesday he had been dead about eight hours, examiners said. The automobile, which he had bor- rowed for the Summer from Mrs. A. P. Garrett, mother of the scenario writer, with whom he had been boarding, was found on a highway about a quarter of a ‘mile distant. The headlights were burning. Raisbeck, whose home was in East Moline, Ili., produced a play called | “Rock Me, Julie,” in which Paul Muni, noted character actor, and Helen Men- keh played the leading roles last Win- | ter.
