Beverly Hills Wife of Magazine Writer Dies in Canyon Tragedy
Mrs. Edward Doherty 41, wife of a national magazine writer, died of asphyxiation in Benedict Canyon possibly from strangulation after a fall. Autopsy surgeon Frank Webb ordered chemical tests to determine if a cause other than the fall led to her death. She had called her husband to say she would walk from Richard Carroll’s home and was found in a thicket after authorities believe she became lost on a rocky incline. The Dohertys, from Larchmont New York, had planned to return today. Mrs. Doherty, once Mildred Spain, was a Chicago newspaper gossip figure and Hollywood beauty who edited a magazine column. Her two sons, Edward and Jack, learn of her death as Transcontinental and Western Air arranged travel to California.
