Mr. Justice Humphreys and a jury of ten men & two women in Old Bailey appeared Mrs. Elvira Dolores Barney, accused of murdering her lover Thomas William Scott Stephen after a cocktail party in her West End flat. One dawn last month a physician, hastily summoned, found Mrs. Barney, whose husband is a U. S. radio crooner, anxiously kissing Stephen's cooling corpse. A revolver lay nearby. While Mrs. Barney awaited trial her father. Sir John Mullens, was reported to be liquidating the Mullens gems to raise the huge fee of her defender, lean...
...cinema entertainment. It is a mystery story which keeps a straight face. "Who killed Herbert Wynne?" is the question at the beginning. Mystery loves company and the murderer might have been: a butler with exaggerated hands, an old woman who lies grunting on her deathbed, a peeping-Tom physician, a mumbling housemaid, an arrogant young man, one of two immoral young girls, or a lawyer who wears pince-nez spectacles and casts a tremendously large shadow.

By then his throat was swelling rapidly, he was choking for breath. While his secretary telephoned frantically for Lord Dawson of Penn, Dom Manoel's diseased glottis continued to swell & swell until it blocked his windpipe, choked...
...forced it down his throat he might have lived longer. The glottis, the slit-like opening into the larynx, less than an inch long, is capable of swelling with alarming rapidity. Intubation (insertion of a tube) lets the patient breathe until the swelling has subsided. More frequently the physician will cut into the trachea through the neck and insert the tube from the outside. If laymen such as Dom Manoel's wife and secretary had tried to do that they would likely have cut an artery...
