Smith, 40, was fouhd dead shortly before mid- night last night by Joseph Sebring, manager of a tire store in front of which thé O'Malley car was parked. Although questioned at some length by police, Chief R. W. Morris announced ' that O'Malley was not held. An autopsy is to be performed on the body. Although no outward signs -of violence were found on the woman, Chiet. Morris said an investigation of O'Malley's and Mrs. Smith's activi- ties during the evening was undbr way and would not be abandoned until an autopsy proved conclusively that death was due to natural causes. Morris declined to reveal O'Mal- ley's testimony during his question- ing at police headquarters, but said that the business man did not ex- plain satisfactorily how his car came to be parked in front of the tire &hop mor did he give an adequate explanation of his activities during the evening. Mra. Smith is reputed to have been wealthy in her own right and to own cousiderable property here. Bhe was prominent in social and business activities of the city, hav- ing long been connected with the Buckley Grocery company. Accord- ing to police she had been separated from her husband for several years.
