SISTER SAYS O’BRIEN SLAIN

Mrs. Clara Clegg Declares Certain Woman Threatened Life of the Aviator. Momence, 111., Dec. 30. —Charges that Pat O’Brien, hero aviator, did not commit suicide, but was slain, and that a woman known to his relatives was heard to threaten his life, were ftlought forward by Mrs. Clara Clegg. O’Brien’s sister, as basis for demand that the inquiry, hastily concluded by Los Angeles' (Cal.) authorities, be reopened. “There was no inquest after the finding of my brother’s body,” said Mrs. Clegg. “The doctor at the hotel where he was living said that no inquest was necessary. That looks irregular to me now, but at the time I was so shocked that I did not think of it.”
