Doctor Is Slain
At His Home &
Girl Is Held
(By The Associated Press)
PROVIDENCE, R. I., July 21,
— Death today sealed the lips of
Dr. George WebsteT, 39 year old
fashionable homeopathic obstet
rician, before he explained to the
authoriites the mysterious cir
cumstances surrounding the shoot
ing which occurred at his home
a short while before his demise
and which resulted in the bullet
wound that ended his life.
A good looking young woman
is held by authorities for ques
tioning.
The doctor passed away on the
operating table of a hospital in
Providence. He was undergoing
an operation for wounds in his
stomach and in one of his shoul
ders. After having suffered the
wounds at his home, he dragged
himself through .two rooms to a
telephone to call the police sta
tion.
Patrolman Charles McNamara
responded. To the patrolman, the
doctor said:
"Don't look for clues now. Get
me to the hospital. I’ll tell you
about the shooting later.”
-— .■, , '..ii.1 ... —
The doctor died without tell
ing.
A slender, brown-haired young
woman, 19 years old, whose iden
tity is guarded by the police, is
held incommunicado for question
ing and the authorities are hope
ful of an early solution of the
mysterious fatal shooting. She
appeared composed in jail.
The police declared the doctor
was shot after he had entered his
town house, which was in a fash
ionable section of Providence.

BROWNIE WHILE HUNTING
WITH FATHER
JUNEAU—Returning after bag
ging three brown bears out of 32
seen while on Admiralty Island
for !.h:ee weeks, Captain A. R.
Nichols from Chilkoot army bar
racks termed hfs expedition as
“mere than successful.”
Others in the party included
Mrs. Nichols. Marie Nichols and
three army aides.
“My 16-year-old daughter Ma
rie on her first big game hunt,
is the one who is crowing in our
party. She brought down the big
gest bear, a fine brownie that
measured 8 feet 10 inches, un
stretched.” declared Captain
Nichols. "Of our other trophies. I
bagged one and Sergeant W. W.
Farrington brought down the
other. His was a fair-sized bear
also, measuring about a foot less
than my daughter’s.” Captain
Nichols was modest about, his own
bag.
Captain Nichols and the Ser
geant got their brownies at Chaik
Bay, while Miss Nichols bagged
hers at Pybus Bav. “She drilled
it through the heart with one
shot,” Captain Nichols said. "It
ran about 100 yards back into the
brush before dropping.
“It was her first shot at a bear,
but she is a marksman! She has
captured several honors in post
and interport shooting competi
tions this year, and now has prov
ed her aim at a live target. Mrs.
Nichols doesn’t shoot, she just
went along to pilot the boat.”
