CASE OF VIRGINT RAPPE IS REGALLE New York “High Life” Girl Dead ~Not Entirely Explained New York, March 22, — When an autopsy performed upon the body of Frances Hillman Beckwith, 21 *years old, formerly a member of the chorus, revealed to Dr, Benjamin Schwartz, deputy medical examiner, that the young woman had met her death through fnternul injuries similap to the case of Virginia Rappe, an inves- tigation was begun Dby detectives which had not been completed last night. Like Dorothy King, Miss Beckwith had her own apartment and lived her own life in New York followiag her divorce two years ago from Clifford Beckwith, a naval officer, said to he stationed in Chicago, Detectives who investigated the case found that she had been addicted to strong drink and all night parties, some of which were staged in her own apartment, She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Joseph Hillman, 38 East Sixth street, Philadelphia. Hillman was described yesterday as a man of means, in the tostume and clothing designing busi- ness, Learning that Miss Beckwith had been taken to Rooseveit hospital, where she died from pertonitis on Tuesday afternoon, from the apart- ment of Edward Campbell, a real’es- tate broker at 308 West Eighty-sec. ond street, between West 1nd avenue and Riverside Drive, detectives ques. tioned Campbel! at length and, ac. cording to Detective Tierney of the West Sixth-ecighth street station, got this story: Campbell had an appointment to meet Miss Beckwith early on Sunday morning. The two were to go to Long Beach to spend the day. When Miss Beckwith did not telephone him at'the appointed hour he went to her apartment, 144 ast Sixty-first street, a two room suite she had sublet from Miss Janet Hunt of that address a month ago, prior to Miss Hunt's de- parture for Europe. Met Woman Near Her Home As Campbell reached the front door of the apartment house, Miss Beck- with got out of a taxicab. She was very much intoxicated ahd said: “Ed- die, T can't go to Long Beach with you; I'm very ill."” The two convers- ¢d a moment or two and then Camp- bell decided to take Miss Beckwith to his home. Arriving there he sum- moned a physician, Campbell said that he had known Miss Beckwith for about two years, having met her through friends. He told newspapermen that it was a friend who was to have taken Miss Jeckwith to Long Beach on Sunday, and when pressed for the name of this friend, who, he asserted, had called him up when Miss Beckwith failed to appear, he said: *Oh, that's another story.” Mr. and Mrs. Hilln®n arrived from Philadelphia late Monday night and were at their daughter's bedside when she died. Hospital authorities had noticed a small bruise on Miss Beck- ith's left side, and becoming sus- picious both of this and the imme- diate cause of her death, notified the police. Had Been Drinking Heavily, Detectives found that Miss Beck- with had consumed the contents of as many as 15 gin in a week. This was supported by Louis Waagencr, superintendent of the apartment house, who said that casily that many empty gin bottles were sent down the dumbwaiter from the Beckwith apartment each week. Waagener gaid that when Miss Beck- with first came to sublet the apart- ment £he had been accompanied by a young man, She had had many vis- itors, mostly men, and did not appear to have any definite occupation. She seemed well supplied with clothes and money, he said. A report yesterday that her apart- ment had been robbed after her death was denied by detectives, who sald that Mr. and Mrs. Hillman, who visited the apartment before the girl's death, had removed everything of value that belonged to their daugh- ter, Before her death Miss Beckwith is said to have explained to her mother that she had been “drinking a lot lately,” and that she had had_sev- eral falls. The police last night were inclined to the belief that one of these falls might have been the direct cause of her death. Inspector John D. Coughlin said at police head- quarters that the police as yet were not disposed to regard the case as one of homicide.
