Emerson Blamed Hat Inquest
A coroner's jury in Los Angeles found County Supervisor Raymond Darby died from a homicidal blow by Samuel H. Emerson, a wealthy subdivider. The verdict tied the death to a fatal cerebral hemorrhage triggered by stress after a zoning dispute in Antelope Valley. Evidence included Darby’s hypertension and a turbulent supervisors meeting with recordings played. Emerson claimed the blow followed a remark to his wife. Darby’s colleagues held a memorial with a red rose tribute and adjourned their meeting.
