A revolver in the hands of Robinson Thursday was discharged accidentally, the bullet striking his sister-in-law Mrs. Catherine Robinson. 57. of 2022 E. Washington St. She died at St. Vincent's hospital two hours later. The bullet passed through Mrs. Robinson's body and was found lodged in the west wall of the kitchen of the Robinson home, where the accident occurred. William C. Robinson, son of the dead woman, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. John Robinson, also were in the kitchen when the shot was fired. Mrs. Catherine Robinson had invited her brother-in-law to stay for dinner. William said that as his uncle unstrapped his holster belt, the .38 caliber revolver in it was discharged. The bullet struck Mrs. Robinson in the right breast. James Robinson was a collector for the {standard Oil company. DEATH OFHEID STIRS DOPE PROBE (Continued From Page 1) He was still ill when he returned to Hollywood. but insisted on working In order to get a picture out on scheduled time. .Hospital records show that at the title Reid started to effect a cure he was taking four grains of morphine a day. First hint of his condition came last October, when he was struck with temporary blindness, due to the Kleig lights aggravated by the nervous condition which he was in at that time. He determined to make his last stand against the narcotic octopus. Taking Teddy Hayes, Jack Dempsey’s trainer, with him. he went into the hills, and there, despite terrific tortures to nerve and muscle, stopped the "dope" habit. Ho and Hayes remained in the open for nearly a month. Although at the end of this time he declared he no longer had any craving for dope, he did not regain his health. He finally became worse, and at last submitted to a rigorous threeray examination by the leading physicians of the country, who were unable to diagnose his illness. Taken to Sanitarium The examination so exhausted him that he collapsed and was taken to the Dr. Blessing sanitarium, and later the Dr. Banksea's sanitarium. There he steadily got worse, and It was then feared for some time that he would die. He apparently rallied, however, and had recently been reported making slow r progress toward recovery. During the last week he was reported as regaining a little strength, and taking solid food for the first time. His disease was a sort of dysentery w hich wrecked the fibers of his body. At the time of his death he only weighed 135 pounds; formerly he had weighed rA-er 200. Wally never knew that the world had learned the torturing secret which he had guarded for years, and which at one time nearly blackmailed out of him, according to his wife. He still imagined that only his few intimate friends knew' that he had been a user of dope, but was supremely happy that he had at last rid himself of its toils. Mrs. Reid declared two days ago that she believed Wally would be out of the hospital In about six weeks. As soon as he was able, it had been planned to have him go to Catalina Island and spend several months in outdoor life and exercise. Jesse L. Lasky had made plans for his return to the studio about July 1. Wally was born in Missouri thirty-

two years ago and was one of the most popular actors in the grime. Doubled Willi Mix At the age of 21 he went to work 1 in the old Selig lot. He shifted scenes and later doubled in thrilling stunts for Tom Mix and others. Reid met Dorothy Davenport while i she was acting girl parts with the j same company, and married her. I Later the couple went into a busi-! ness partnership as well and worked I at the Universal studios, writing, directing and acting their own one and j two-reel films. Wally was reported to posses a fortune of nearly $1,000,000 a year I ago, but it is understood much of this ; has been used in his fight against dope. Wally’s last picture was "Mr. Dill- 1 ings Spends His Dime.’’ He never fnished it. Lasky Aided Fight Forced to leave in the middle of the picture’s making, he was put on half pay by Jesse L. Lasky, who did everything possible to aid the star in his attempted comeback. Reid’s story was one of the most dramatic that has ever come out of filmdom, and was made public by his wife after persistent rumors had gone abroad concerning Wally’s condition. Shortly before Christmas Wally was congratulated by Will Hays, movie czar, on his splendid fight. Hays and Laskmy made a personal visit to his bedside. Reid was a patient for a week at the hospital of Dr. Charles Blessing, now under indictment for conspiracy to violate the narcotic laws. Hospital records, seized by Federal agents, showed that instead of getting better, Wally got worse at the Institution. Over $4,000 was paid for the week's treatment. Mrs. Reid declared. "Fair weather friends” who Imposed or Wally's hospitality, came and drank his stock of private liquor and kept late hours at his house, were largely blamed by Mrs. Reid, and her mother, Mrs. Alice Davenport, for Wally's downfall. In his plcttures, many of which are now showing on screens throughout the country’, Wally always played the part of the typical red-blooded, active American. He was one of the hardest workers in the movie game, having made no less than ten pictures per year for the two years previous to his fatal illness. Work was practically suspended at the huge Lasky Studio when it was learned that Wally had died. Wally’s death Is one of the first that has ever occurred in the ranks of the Nation’s big film stars. John Bunny, who died at the height of his career several years ago, is the only other notable for whom the final curtain has gone down.
