THE EVENING BRITAIN ASKS DAT ON SHARPE SUICIDE Consul to Quiz Morrow Serv- ants—Curtis Assails Po- lice Handling of Case. By the Assoclated Press. ENGLEWOOD, N. J,, June 15.—Great Britain’s acting consul general in New York is expected to come here soon to interview members of Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow's household concerning the death of Violet Sharpe, English servant who committed suicide when police ar- rived to question her about her move- ments the night Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was kidnaped. ‘The British forelgn office has asked the acting consul general, Edward Henry ‘Gerald Shepherd, to submit a report on the death. The theory has been ex- pressed that repeated sessions with the police may have unnerved her so that, although innocent, she took her life. Ill;lltd police have said she was treated ly. Attended by Shepherd, who brought a wreath of red roses to be placed on the casket, funeral services were con=- ducted today in an undertaking estab- ment. Arthur Springer, one of Mrs. Mor- Yow's sccretaries, represented the Mor- row family. Servanis from the Mor- Tow estate also attended. An automobile from the Morrow estate brought a number of floral pieces, which were placed about the casket. ‘The Rev. Joseph R. Lyons, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Clurch, conducted the service, ‘The body was placed in a grave about 300 yards from that of the late Sen- stor Morrow. Curtis Assails Police. John Hughes Curtis, who is to be tried Monday on & charge of obstructing jus- tice in the kidnaping investigation, issued a statement from his Flemington cell last night attacking police methods of questioning witnesses. It was handed out by his attorney. Lloyd Fisher, and contained a complaint that the Attorney General had forbidden him to see members of the press. Earlier, he had asked tBat newspaper gexjx x;ot be admitted to interview him ail. “I really thought that even a hard- ened criminal secured justice in this great United States,” the statement Tead, “whereas I am only charged with obstructing tice, which is only a Attorney General to issue such instruc- tions—I can surmise—namely that he was afraid I was going to give my opinion on the suicide of the poor English housemald at the Morrow home, or perhaps other things that I know. “Pergonally I deeply sympathize with | raising & howl. Beatings, as I noticed, are evidently a common with the New Jersey police in gaining their Wing promises often weits Just as. well wer's especially when ggnr siT.ps like myself honestly believe them. “In Miss Sharpe's case I note by the pepers that she was always examined the presence of the Morrows or the Lindberghs, That, however, does not ibe with other stories I read. Especial- I recall that they told her they were ;eld}' to take her to the Alpine station or quuuqnln? : “T wonder why they did not hold her like they did me from Thursday mid- night to the following Thursday under guard but not under arrest and do as they did to me, put guards-at one time over me to keep, so they sald, me from commiting suicide. If they had done gm she would ’l‘:“. “&t‘i:tk'{od.y' ut I suppose she thou was more preferable than their continued questioning.” Violet Sharpe Married. The death certificate when filed stated Violet Sharpe was married, “name of Husband unknown.” Lieut. Nathan Allyn of the presecutor’s stafl at Hackensack sald servants in the morrow haousehold told him they be- lieved the girl was married, but had been sepags) from her husband for several yeSSs. It could not be learned whether the girl had been divorced. For some time befsre she drank poison servants in the house had talked of the possibility of her marrying Septimus Banks, the Morrow Butler. Gov. A. Harry Moore promised “all possible co-operation” to the British representative ordered to report on the suicide. “The representatives of the British government will be given the oppor- tunity,” he said, “to examine witnesses and go over records if they desire. They have only to ack for what they want.” ‘The Governor sald he stood “square- ly behind” the State police in their VvV V.V V.V S e NEW!
