"What Is This Thing - Called Love" In the show "Fifty Million Frenchmen" In which she was co-featured with Betty Compton (Mrs. James J. Walker) was first reported as suicide. Followed Quarrel. Rogers said there was an argu ment during the night and that the girl, who won Broadway prominence playing the lead In "Yours Truly" oppostt Leon Errol, went upstairs alone. "We heard a shot." Rogers said. and when we ran upstairs we found her' lying on the floor." A single bullet had entered the left side of the 25-year-old girl's head, passed completely through and embedded Itself in the wall. At her feet police found a .46 calibre, pearl handled pistol. On the bed was an automatic covered with blood, and in a corner of the room was a sawed off shotgun. Rogers, whose 29 years have been packed with adventure seeking, was taken to the Chester county prison. Chief of Police Chester Gllsson and Detective Francis Grubb were the officers who said Rogers had been drtnklng. Chauffeur Tells Police. Word of the Mlnneapolls-born act ress' death came from Frank Ca tano, Rogers' chauffeur. He drove to nearby Gutherievllle early today and said a suicide had taken place at the Indian Run farm of Rogers. Catano first told his story to Dr. Thomas Richmond, and he declined to make the Journey to the farm when his wife objected on the grounds that she disliked the repu tation of the place. It was then that Catano came here and notified Chief Gllsson. While the police chief was awaiting the arrival of Deputy Coroner Har vey Cox, Rogers' attorney. Joseph Clark, rushed into the office and also reported a suicide at the farm. When the party of police officials arrived at the Rogers place they found Rogers and a companion. William James Kelly of Union City, N. J., In little condition for ques tioning, due. the chief said, to intoxication. Just Another Party. I Detective Grubb remarked later that the events preceding the tragedy i apparently were "Just another party." All the persons at the farm were fully clothed. Chief Gllsson said he was told that Rogers. an hour before the shooting, had ripped the telephone from the wall. The fact that it was disconnected delayed notification ol authorities about 45 minutes, he said. There was evidence of much drink ing, the police found. Unfinished I drinks stood about on tables. There I was gtngerale. liquor and melting I Ice in the living room. I What the nature of the quarrel was preceding the shooting was cloaked in lack of detail. Rogers told the officers that as a result of an exchange of words the torch singer had shouted she was going to "pack and go home." It was then she ran upstairs. Shortly afterward, accord ing to the story told, there was the sound of the shot that cost the actress her life. The chauffeur told officers that both Rogers and Kelly had tcld him they were on the first floor of the house when the shooting occurred. P.ncers' Drinking. "Rogers had been drinking." said the chauffeur, "and was hard to understand. He said he heard the shot, ran upstairs, saw the girl's body and then came downstairs w call for help. Kelly said the same thing. Kelly added that he and Rogers were talking when the shot occurred." The girl was born December 15, 1910. in Minneapolis. She was dt- munltive. blue eyed, and had honey colored hair. In the summer of 1928 she played in Paris, and she had the feminine lead in the London production of "Good News." Her earlier experience included vaude ville appearances and a road tour with the "Greenwich Village Fol lies." The shooting took place some time around midnight. It was still dark when the officers finished their first examination at the farm and brought Rogers to prison here. Kelly also was ordered held as a material wit ness. Kelly is married. Mrs. Kelly, In Union City, declined to discuss the case until after she had received an expected telephone call from her husband. Rogers Spectacular. Rogers has been in and out of the public prints for many years, both by reason of the great wealth of his father, who died recently, and because of his own adventurous bent Miss Hoey had been a guest at the farm house for a week, present there also were Rogers, Kelly, a but ler and the chauffeur. Her body was removed this rhorn lng. being brought to a morgue here. Later the body was taken to the county hospital at West Chester for an autopsy. Young Rogers fared none too well under the will of his father, who died in July. The provision made for him under the will of Colonel Henry Huddleston Rogers was the Income for a 500.000 trust fund. The will was filed July 30 at Riverhead, Long Island.
