Dr Finch Arraigned in Slaying of Wife

West Covina reports that surgeon Dr Bernard Finch was at the scene when his socialite wife Barbara Finch was shot to death outside their home. Police say Finch was arraigned on murder charges, held without bail, and investigators seek to determine if he fired the shot or if the weapon was obtained in Las Vegas where Mrs Finch previously filed for divorce.

Mrs Finch's Father Calls for Execution

The father of slain Barbara Finch in Los Angeles on Tuesday urged that her husband, Dr. Bernard R. Finch, be executed. Walter P. Reynolds, identifying his daughter's body at the county morgue, said he believed in his daughter's death and criticized temporary insanity as an explanation. He recalled suspicions of trouble for months and claimed a diamond ring worth 1200 dollars was taken by the doctor. He described a confrontation during a visit where the doctor allegedly stormed in after a drink with beer.
