STATE POLICE
SAVE WOMAN
SEEKING DEATH
State Troopers Quigicy and Scully
prevented an attempted suicide this
morning when they rushed to the
dock opposite the barracks in West-
port in time to stop a woman. who
was later found to be a patient from
the Dry Hill sanatorlum. from jump—
ing into the river. They were sit-
ting ln the barracks when they ob-
served tho woman. who is. 27 years
old and pretty. pacing up and down
the dock. evidently seeking the de-
termination to jump overboard.
The two arrived on the spot just
in time to catch the would-be sui.
cide as she started one foot over the
edge'for the final plunge. When she
was brought over to the headquar-
ters she became hysterical and then
slumped to‘the floor. The troopers.
scared and believing that she had
taken poison. called for medical aid
but it was found that her actions
were a sham. .
Dr. Hyman Sucker. director of the
ssnatorium. took the woman. whose
name he gave as "Mrs. James
Smith." back to the institution. He
stated to the officers that she had
been missing since early morning.

Given Arsenic.
Stories published in several New
York papers this morning credit
Broadway with whispering that Ru-
dolph Valentino did not die of peri-
tonitls brought on by ulcers of the
stomach but that he was poisoned.
That Valentino was the victim of
a jealous Woman and that he had.
been attacked with a gun by a. man
in a. quarrel during a gay party
were two of the many rumors dis-
cussed in New York this morning
and during Valentino's illness.
Doctors at the Polyclinic hospital
where “Rudy" was operated upon
and died. deny that any trace of pol-
son or assault was discovered by
them.
Left No Fortune.
Joseph M. Scllcnck, chairman of
the Board of Directors of the United
Artists Corporation, denied today,
that Valentino left a large estate.
Valentino left no fortune from his
very large earnings. Mr. Schenck
said the actor had spent practically
all or his last year's income. which
totaled close to 81.000.000. It is not
yet known whether he left I. will-
Hls life insurance. totaling 8200.000
goes to the United Artists Corpora-
tion as beneficiary. Reports that
Valentines insurance amounted to
$1. 000, 000 were erroneous.
Mr. Schcnck said that Valentino
had left no fortune out of the large
amounts of money he had made in
motion pictures. He said that Vs.-
lentino.was a mere boy in money
matters. and spent as fast aswvhe
earned. in explaining how‘Valen-
tino's earnings in 1925 totaled about
$1,000,000. he said they included
$200,000 a picture and so per cent.
of tile proiits .on three pictureejio/
made for United Artists, and 8200.-
000 which was paid by J. D. Wil-
liams for 'The Cobra."
Valentino's 1926 contract with?
United Artists Corporation provided
for a payment of $200. 000 s. plains!
and 25 per cent. of the profits. , - '
