EW Chemist’s Perfectly Timed Suicide In Vienna Reveals Strange Career After Disappearance From U.S. Dr. Ernest Watzl of Cleve- land and Woman Com- panion Found Dead — Deed Preceded Insur- alienation of affections. McGranahan brought a divorce suit against his wife, alleging that she left his home to pose in Dr. Watzl's studio, and instituted a $100 000 alienation of affections suit against Watzl.

In the same room, and Dbelieved to have heen shot by Waltzl before he ended his own life, was the hody of a woman known here as Josefa Kropej | but thought possibly to be Mrs. Mary McGranahan of Cleveland. The woman was eaid 1o have joined | ‘Watzl in Turope and to have come to Vienna with him. Ran Out of Moncy Among the effects of the two, who were believed to have been dead since before midnight Sunday, when Watzl's insurance policies would have expired, were letters to various people in different countries, one of them to Mrs. Watzl in Cleveland. Police said they believed financial difficulties caused the suicide. There was no money whatsover about the two bodies and in their | effects. They had stylish luggage, | however, and gave the impression of well being. They arrived here Thursday and spent their days, until Bun@ay. rambling about the city. Had Double Passports There were two scts of p between them, JFohann Flass; sports one in the name of which appeared to belong to the girl, Josefa Kropef, age who according to the certifi- cate was married last December. The man, identified by policc as Watazl, used the woman's passport in regis- tering at the hotel where they died. The suggestion was offered here, in apparent contradiction of the theory that the girl was Mrs. Mary McGranahan of Cleveland, that she married in ISurope before visiting America, where she tried unsuccess- fully to sell certain chemical patents. In such a case it was held probable that Watzl met her in the United States about four months ago. he numerous letters left in the | room were said by police to have | incomplete Cleveland and continen- tal addresses on them. The contents were said to be confused. Disappeaved Last November Missing since November 7, 1929, but for a few strange circumstances Dr. Watzl would have been given up for dead. At that time he left Cleveland in his car for Philadel- phia. Within a few hours of his de- parture the car was found burned near Pottstown. T'a. Doubts that Dr. Watzl had died in ! the crash were emphasized when his insurance premiums were kept paid “up from some mysterious souree. One report was that he went to South America to aid in mining and refining zirconium, a comparatively rare metal useful in alloys, and had wished to free himself from asso- ciations of his old life during his work there. There were other re- ports linking foreign metal manu- facturers with his disappearance, and another story that he had gone to Austria, his native country. but nothing could ever be verified. Meanwhile Mrs. Mary McGranae han, a former secretary of the chemist, vanished. Her husband, James McGranahan, sued for di- vorce and filed $50,000 alienation of affections suit against Watzl. Mrs. McGranahan was of Hungarian par- entage, small in stature, but pretty and with a slightly retrousse nose. Sprayed Liquid Fire in War Dr. Watzl first went to Cleveland in 1912 in connection with some chemical work, but with the out- break of war returned t{o Austria, where he became captain of a liquid fire division on the Italian front. His chemical work was said to have won him considerable recognition from the Austrian authorities. His wife, whom he married in Cleveland, re- mained with him in Austria during the war. He returned to Cleveland four Years ago, forming the Watzl En- gineering company, promoting an activated carbon process for puri- fying water. He was taken into the employ of the Cleveland water de- partment to carry out his water ex- periments. He was said to have a vast knowledge of chemistry and metal, lurgy. He was about 40 years old. His widow, Mrs. Maric Watzl, and two children, Herta and Jane, live in Cleveland. Death Perfectly Timed Cleveland, March (A—Dr. Er- hest Watzl, Cleveland chemist, timed his death in Vienna as dramatically &s he did his disappearance in Penn- sylvania. The $60.000 life insurance policies which he kept paid up while cluding & four-months search would have ex- pired a few hours after his death. His friends here believed that, driven to desperation by financial difficul- ties which had attended his turbulent career, he timed his suicide so that his widow and the persons who fi- nanced his last trip would not suffer. James I. McGranahan, whose pretly 20-year-old wife, Mary, disap- peared shortly after the chemist, was awaiting word whether she was the girl who died with Dr. Watzl. Mc- Granahan said his wife once told him that she and Dr. Watzl once went on & motor trip planning suicide, but that the inventor “backed out. Four Suits Against Watzl The disappearance of Dr. Watzl, who was in his late 30's, left behind him a mystery that for a time flooded Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York police with murder and kid- naping theories of all sorts, revealed that he had kept a studio here under an assumed name and prompted the | T.ouise | Hellyar | Mary Leghorn, Mrs. tiling of four suits for divorce and his death BY WOMAN'S CLUB Annual Reports Rellect Success for Year—48 New Members Officers were reelected and Te- ports were made by officers and committee chairmen at the annual meeting of the New Britain Wom- an's club held this afternoon at 1 o'clock at the Masonic temple.

Report of Secretary The report of the secretary, Mis, Johnstom follows: The Woman's Club of New Brit- n has completed its 54th season. ‘We shall remember this year because it is the first in which he have met in the Masonic Temple. It has been a joy to be able to hold all of our meetings in the same place through- out the yea An increased attenl- ance has been the result. “‘Another featurg which marks this year is the fact that the program has been carried through as orizi- nally planned, without a single mis- hap or change, even though our ar- tists and speakers have come from as far away as London and Paris. The executive board has hell six meetings at the home of the president, Mrs. Buell B, Bassette and one at the Masonic Temple, where the program and general business of the - club has been considered. Consequently, the club membe have enjoyed a series of 12 interest- ing meetings. “The season opened on the fif- teenth of October with a luncheon served to 300 club members, and it is closing today in a similar man- ner. The annual open meeting, this year in charge of the civic commit- tee, was the Christmas tea, at which Mr. Klingberg and the children of the Children’s Home were guests of honor. The social committee, aided by the hospitality committee, have bent all their efforts upon these three occasions, a departure this year from the customary reception teas which formerly followed alternaie regular meetings. “The guest night in February was an outstanding event, with Maurice Marechal, violoncellist, and Ethel Leuning, soprano. This was the only musical event of the year. “There have been two devoted to drama, that is, if Mrs. Hugh D. Butler's *Experiences in Being Presented at Court” may ne characterized as such. Surely her graphic word pictures of the gay meetings court scenes made it scem as though | the stage was all set there before ns with the actors all playing their parts. The other dramatic eveat was the lecture-recital about “Won- ond Friends in Shakespeare's Play presented so ably by Mrs. Forb Robertson Hale and her daughter this year spent time and energy in working for the community drive, and in entertaining the guests from the Children’s Home at the Chrisi- | mas party; to the social committez, | Mrs. William H.

Bowers, Mrs, Wil- | liam H. Hart, Mrs. Aimee H. Kalish, Mrs. G. Ernest Root, Mrs. Edward | J. Skinner, Mrs. John Sloan, Mrs Henry 8. Walter and Mrs. Spencer <I. Wood. “Our membership of 532 members, with the addition | new members to be taken in today, totals 600, which is the largest mem- | | bership the club has had at any time. “To the president and o th:| members of the Woman's Club the | report for the season 1920-1930 is respecetfully submitted.” The report of Caroline E. Hilliard chairman of the civic committee, follows: “The activities of the civic com- mittee during the past year have | |had three objectives—the commu- nity drive, the Christmas tea for the Children’s Home and the surgical dressings at the hospital. The work | unusual in some respects | have made use of individual | endeavor rather than of group ac- tivity. We have made good use of the telephone, discussing matters | with the members of the commit- tee, thus ecliminating committee meetings. We have not sponsored any project {o make money for our committee nor have we given money for any object. “But we have put much interest and enthusiasm into two worth while activities. The committee had hardly been appointed when it be- came a unit with the civic clubs of the city to work on thc community drive We became the woman's team, | with six captains and over 75 work crs we devoted one week to splen- did work. These teams included women not in the club. One of the best workers, a captain, was not member of the Woman's club. She said: ‘Next time you have a drive give me more names’ I am glal to say that worker is being voted in- to the club today. We collected | $1300.66 which gave us third placc | on the list of nine teams. | “Our next work was the Christ- | mas tea for the Children's Home on December 17th. We were deter- mined to make this a success, so divided the names of the entire membership of the Woman's club | among the members of the civie commiftee, thus giving each mem- ber 7 nmames to call and remind them of the Christmas tea and its| purpose. As this canie at a time when evervone was busy about their own Christmas party, this telephon- ing by members of the civic com- mittee was much appreciated. | “The tea was open to members | and friends but cach was expected to bring a gift for the children. The | weather was about the worst the | winter could give us hut the tele phone reminders brought out a rec ord attendance. They came to find a beautiful tree on the platform, trimmed with tinsel, white lights and a white star at the top. Mrs. Ralph Britton and members of her hospitality committee very efficient- ly assisted with trimming the tree. Also Mr. Spring, of Spring and Buckley, gave the use of the very cffective white lights and did the | wiring himself. As the gifts were brought they were placed around the foot of the tree and the plat- form was hardly large enough for the great number of attractive Christmas packages. “About 50 of the children from the Home with Mrs. Klingberg and her son, Edwin, were our guests. A prograni of songs and recitations by the children was enjoyed by all. YA letter from Mr. Klingberg thanks the Woman's club for 374 gifts and $34.80 in money. Mrs. Judd and her committec added to| the festivities with a very attractive tea table with Santa and his rein- deer and Christmas candles and by serving delicious sandwiches, cakes and coffece. “The civic committee decided to decline to become a member of the active | | nas been | —we of 4s | due to their cfforts and to the h club cxpenses were heayvy we decided upon a program of work rather than of spendin I think even Mr. Calvin Coolidge would ap. prove of it.

OKLAHOMA MAKES PARALYS1S INQUIRY Discoverer of Isopropyl Alcohol March 2 Roland Lalone, Oklahoma City, March P — Tests secking to ascertain if alcohol manufactured from petroleum might | be responsible for a paralysis like malady suffered by scores of pe sons ere were being made by state | officials today, in the face of a declaration by the originator of the | process for extraction of the cohol that the investigation would be y|\‘ vain. James I'olen, assistant sta commissioner, announced yesterday that tests had been ordered in the belief that petroleum alcohol might have been used in the manufacture of Jamaica ginger. Many persons suffering with the paralysis have | admitted drinking Jamaica singer. Dr. Robert Isham, Okmulgee, Okla., chemist, credited with dis- covery of {he process for making | petroleum, or iso-propyl, alcohol, | said it could be drunk, but woul not cause intoxication or paralysis. Iso-propyl alcohol, Dr. Isham said, is not potable in the sense that grain alcohol is, but can be taken into the human system without harm. “We made extensive tests to de- termine this fact before putting the product on the market,” Dr. Isham said, “and there arc any number of scientific papers on the subject that | will bear out the statement. | > health | IDELAK The police learncd last night that | the man who was found dead in In- dian Orchard, Mas: Saturday 'n uncle of Martin Godelak or beek of 70 Sexton street, th but not the husband of a living at 134 Wint street, The deceased man also niece living on Broad street, Lut| neither she nor the nephew were in- terested in iooking after the body, | was ole- woman | has 2 Chamber of Commerce this year, *St‘rgcam T.
