DOUBT POLICE SUICIDE STORY IN GirSDEATH Cops Claim Sales Woman Killed Self on Road After Booze Arrest. Bv United Prett SELMA, Ala., Nov. 18.—Chemists and detectives today endeavored to “ascertain the true circumstances” surrounding the death of Miss Louise Moteabaro, 22-year-old sewing machine sales woman. According to two officers, Miss Monteabaro committed suicide, shortly after they had arrested her for speeding and violation of the liquor laws. Suicide Is Alleged The officers, Chief of Police H. P. Blake of Calera, and W. H. Parmer, traffic policeman, asserted the girl fired a bullet into her brain while the two officers were brushing glass out of the highway. The glass, they said, was in the roadway as a result of Miss Monteabaro breaking a bottle of “liquor," while she attempted to elude arrest. The alleged suicide occurred after the officers had chased the girl for five miles and then brought her back to the spot were “she threw out the liquor.” However, members of Miss Moneabaro’s family have demanded a full investigation, asserting their belief that she did not drink. They have ordered chemists to examine her stomach. Find No Powder Burns Meanwhile, two doctors, W. W. Stewart and F. G. Dubose, further complicated matters by announcing that they “had uncovered facts other than those reported by the officers.” The doctors said the girl’s face bora no powder bums, and added that marks would have showed if she had shot herself. The physicians also gave an opinion that the "bullet which killed Miss Monteabaro came from below and behind.” Officer’s Widow Pensioned Bu Timet Special * LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 18.—Mrs. Rose Arman, widow of Police.
