Police Withhold Cause of Death by Own Action
New York December 17. At a fete for which police declined to comment the death of Mrs. Reaves Brace stepdaughter of a rear admiral was ruled a suicide. A sealed letter addressed to the New York police explained everything. A photograph and two notes were found near the body. Admiral Parsons, visiting from Washington, handled the case. Inspector Moore said he knew Mrs Brace casually and the inscription on the photograph was likely impetuous. Mrs Brace and her husband Ernest Brace were writers and she was also an artist with a children’s book forthcoming. The couple had recently left Woodstock and reports said they had separated.
