P2TGE TWELVE MEDFORD irSIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. 'OREGON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER. 6, 1932. OF STAR'SJUJSBAND (Continued lrom Page One) desth stories, a wan of which baa wept Hollywood' screen productions of 1st.. Bern's body wna found yesterday In bla picturesque Beverly Hllla borne by a butler, John Carmlcbael. It was alumped before a mirror In a dressing room, and through the head ran the fatal wound of a bullet which had Imbedded In the wall. In the right band a -38 calibre revolver was gripped, one chamber dlecharged. On a nearby dresser was another fire arm. Note Ii Puzzle. Beside a picture of Mlsa Harlow a puzzling note lay, casting little light on the cause behind th tragedy. It read: 'Deareat Dear! Unfortunately thl Is the only way to make good the frightful wrong I have done you and to wipe out my abject humiliation. I love you." And a postscript: "you understand last night waa only a oomedy." Miss Harlow, bride of only two months, waa overcome with grief and became so hysterical that her an guished cries could be heard by a crowd which gathered about the resi dence of her mother, Mra. Marino Bello. Physicians quieted her with sedatives and detectives who sought to discuss the tragedy with her left after hearing that it would be im possible to tal with her Immediate ly. They aald they would return to day after a coroner'a autopsy In an attempt to find some plausible reason for Bern's act. Nerves Shattered, Belief. Close friends of the 42-year-old film executive, lncludlns Irving Thalborg, husband of Norma Shearer, film star, who was among the first to reach the resldonoe after the dls eovery of the butler, said Bern had appeared at bis office Infrequently during the past ten days and were Inclined to the belief that a nervous breakdown might have overpowered his mind. Others said Bern, who had Been a bachelor until his marriage on July 3 to the famous platinum blonde, had discussed the reasons for suicide and had hinted that a man might well conclude life when bla work was done. The possibility of domestlo difficulties between the couple drew quick denials from Intimates of the two. Mlaa Harlow was at her mother's home when she received word of her husband's deatb. She had gone there on Saturday night af'.sr working at a atudlo, frlenda explaining that ahe understood Bern would be occupied by a business engagement and ahe wished to be with her mother, whose husband waa away on a fishing trip. From Wenltliy Family Miss Harlow, member of a wealthy Kansas City, Mo, family, was mar ried once previously to Charles Mc Orew of Chicago. She sprang to film fame in the memorable picture, Hell's Angels," Introducing to the screen a revolutionary type of act ress and beauty wblch swept Holly wood. Her marriage to Bern came as a surprise even to the better in formed social circles of the colony and at the time Bern gave hla 31-year-old bride a deed to the expen sive estate In which he later was to end hi life. 4-Square Gospel Church Dedication 'Ashland Tomorrow Delegations from Foursquare Ooa pel churches of MM ford and southern Oregon will Journey to Ashland Wed nesday night to attend the dedica tory service of the new church of the organization there.

P. Cdy. tils SI With George Dixon, the colored light heavyweight of Portland, still holding out on a match here, and Herb White, the local sensation, de manding nothing less than a main event, Promoter Mack Llllard Is facing plenty of difficulties In lining up the next fight card for the armory; Jack McCarthy, the slugging San Francisco fighter, didn't want to fight Dixon Just yet; then Llllard, because of Dixon's reluctance, offered to match McCarthy with Jack Olbbs, but that wouldn't work either. Mc Carthy did promise to meet the win ner or the Oeorg le Dixon-Jack Olbbs match If that la made. After hurling challenges at every one In sight, Dixon's reusal to meet the prmoter'a selection waa very much of. a surprise. In the meantime, Jack Olbbs Is training every day for the toughest of the "tough. guys." "I only hope Dixon la the guy," says Jack, aa he puts a little more steam In his punishing of the big bag.
