Chicago. July 12 i-The 150th day of Patricia Maguire's long sleep brought little hope that she ever would awaken. All known treatments for her malady, sleeping sickness, have failed to arouse her from the coma Into which she lapsed on Feb.

The only picture I have in my mind is Smith standing up with a gun in his hand, hearing my name being called, and then that crash of the universe everything falling about me." Throughout her testimony she underwent an apparently constant struggle with her emotions.

As she reached the last days of her husband's life she was hard put to restrain herself. Coming to Monday night, 24 hours before his death, when he said he was going to end their marriage because he was not able to make her happy, she broke down. As she told of the physical handicap which, she claimed had not impaired her love for him or caused her to entertain his suggestion that she have an affair with another she cried: "Oh! such agony. Oh. God." Comforted by her father, she con- tinned her story, which began with.

her meeting the scion of Winston- Salem tobacco aristocracy and ended with the crash of the bullet through his brain. Jury Leaves Case Open Apparently not satisfied lhat a sufficient motive for suicide had been established, the coroner's jury like.wise refused to cast out the stories of Libby and Walker and left the case open for any further Investigation authorities might wish to make. Solicitor MrMichael declined to make any statement, as did Sheriff Transou Scott, whose refusal to accept Coroner W. N. Dalton original suicide decision resulted in the subsequent inquiry.

Sheriff Scott indicated he might make a statement later. Walker Says He Fainted When Walker reached the night of the death in his testimony he swore that the hospital incident happened after he and Llbby had helped the mortally wounded youth, and that he became faint and fell to the floor, the nurses entering as Libby was helping him up. He testified he had seen nothing out of the ordinary pass between young Reynolds and the brunette torch singer the fatal night, al- though he admitted Smith had told him a night or two before that he had begun to question his own sanity. At this 'time. Walker said, he and Reynolds went to a hotel and drank themselves to sleep.

Said He Was Going End It Another time, he said, Reynolds entered the house and was joined by his wife. Entering Walker's room, the witness said they remained about is minutes, when Libby ran out, followed by Smith. Walker said Smith returned to the reception room in a few minutes, the young millionaire saying he was going away and not coming back. "I'm going to end it all," Walker quoted Smith as saving following announcement that a trip around the world he had panned was "off," As he made the suicide threat he pitched his pocket book to Walker told him to wait and went upstairs. Heard Shot A moment later came the sound of a shot.

Walker said Blanche Yurka, New York actress, who was a guest in the horns, began calling him. Then came a sc-eam from Liij-by's room and she ran out. dropping on a bench on the mezzanine balcony. Investigation revealed Smith, near death, lying on a bed on a sleeping porch adjoining the bedroom used by him and his wife. Walker said he cautioned Libby not to talk at the hospital when he heard her telling everybody how Smith had several times placed a gun to his head and threatened to shoot.

Libby had testified that on one such occasion she had asked him to kill her, too, "because I did not want to live without I.ibby'a Shoes in Walker's Room Wallrpr pvnlainpH thai Ha. holds shoe and swfater, found In 'f "lrrr while she and her husband were there. W. N. Fulchcr.

Widow to Leave With Father Llbby fought her way out of the depths of physical and mental exhaustion today as plans were made for her to leave without delay the palatial Reynolds family estate here. Alfred Holman of Cincinnati, her father, said the former Broadway singer of blue songs would be taken to her home In Cincinnati. "Libby had her first natural sleep since the tragedy early today," Hol man, Cincinnati attorney, said.

"She was, of course, quite overcome by the terrible experience she had to undergo before the coroner's Jury." 'I know it was a case of suicide," said, with strong feeling, adding, "That is, of course, as far as one can know anything without actually having seen it." Holman said no place had been selected as yet for Llbby to go for recuperation. His daughter has been virtually unable to talk coherently since the tragedy and the plan has not been discussed with her. Tender Girl, Say Fathar After referring to the "horrible suspicion" in connection with the inquest proceedings, Holman asserted vigorously: "If you knew my daughter, you would know her first impulse is to protect anything rather than to do the other thing. She is the tenderest girl in the world and would do harm to nothing." Holman was asked if Libby dropped off to sleep naturally. "Well, we gave her a mild bromide," he said.

"She went to sleep about 2:30 and by 3 o'clock was sleeping soundly." "We think by giving her a little mild exercise and persuading her to take nourishing food we will have her able to be moved within a day or two," he added.

Mother, Sister Cheer Her As she faced the ordeal of examination by Solicitor Carlisle Hig-gins. a spare mountaineer with square jaws and high cheek bones, yesterday the trio hdvered around the actress seeking to make the trial easier for her to bear. At one time when Llbby gobbed "Such agony, my God!" all three were greatly agitated. R.

J. Reynolds Jr. (Dick) is expected to return from a cruise in African waters by Friday. He is Smith's older brother. Numerous developments, many sensational, marked the final day of the Coroner's inquest.

Reynolds Was I nhappr Beginning in early afternoon, questioning of witnesses, led by Mrs. Reynolds, occupied a six-hour session. The Jury heard the 26-year-old widow describe imhappiness which prompted young Reynolds to make suicide threats on several occasions. Some of these times, she said, she was led to believe he was crazy. At least once, she said, she expressed the belief to him.

That was the last Sunday he lived. It caused htm, she said, to leave her and spend the night at a hotel, from which he said he would go next morning to "have his head examined." Feared Lapse of Virility She explained that he was melancholy, fearful that a lapse of virility would cost him her love. Once, she said, he urgpd her to have an affair with another man. To this suggestion, she said, she replied: "No, No, I told hlro my love for him was too great to be impaired by any one thing." Walker Story of Tragedy Coupled with her revelations of her brief wedded life was Walker's story of the tragic night when, after Smith had been "peeved" at Libby all night" the tobaco heir announced he was "going to end it all." Reynolds rushed up Walker said, and the sound of a shot was heard immediately afterward.

Miss Jenkins said she heard Walker tell Mrs. Reynolds not to discuss the shooting before others. Walker denied he had been making love to Libby at the birthday party for C. G.

Hill, where, others who attended testified, merrymakers were drinking corn whisky and "chasing it" with beer.

The board referred to the Corporation Counsel the question as to whether the city would be liable In readvertising bids lor the prr-posed new Department of Health building in Manhattan.

Mrs.

Balokovic is the wife of Zlatko BaJakovic, the Croatian violinist, who was with her on the edly as a result of Winston Churchill's statement that the government had blundered at Lausanne. The government had intended to set aside today for a full dress debate on the subject, Mr chamberlain arose to answer, the authoHzed explanation has it, he did not have time to choose his words with (he rare he would have exercised in a formal spepch. The authorized spokesman said that the United States had representatives at Geneva and the British Lausanne delegation met these representatives and strolled about with them among the hills and along the side of the lake. In these informal contacts, the explainer continued, world problems were discussed solely as a matter of social intercourse.

She was off through the wings, waving her hand and smiling, determined to "write the story again and see if it can't be sold." Incidentally, though stories tell ho luiiiv 1a4 Hjif bmci nf extreme near-sightedness there was no one there to help her that day, nor did it seem necessary. Story Is Interesting It was an interesting story that she had offered the magazine: the story of a girl who got her degree at 18, intended to be a lawyer, and then developed a yen for acting. She came to New York, and during the first year alternated between post graduate work at Columbia and theatrical agencies on Broadway. Her first role was that of a prostitute In 'The Fool." She was in- sted but he tQok and did onp. ir, Then she canle t0 Time8 Square, expecting to be starred after so much experience.

Success at Last Came then the operation on her throat, the removal of her tonsils and the development of that luscious huskiness in her voice that thrills crowds. There were a few more theatrical ups and downs, and finally "The Little Show" and success. Sophisticated success, to Libby 's disappointment. Libby always cherished the hope that she would be given ingenue roles Instead of the glazed and slightly hard-boiled characteristics which were allotted to her. But producers, like the magazine editors, couldn't see eye to eye with her in that.

Broadway Remembers Well. Libby didn't care, so she said that night in 1929. "Miss Holman," she remarked with i a proud gesture, "shrugs luscious shoulders and bows to the inevitable." Broadway remembers that, remembering, looks forward to Lib-by's return. "She wasn't just a torch," they say up on the Great White Way, "she was a Neon conflagration."

Or has the tragedy in Winston-Salem dropped an asbestos curtain on the torch singer's stage comeback. Broadway knows Libby as an ac- tress at heart-as one who looks on tragedy, like comedy, as a shifting and temporary scene in a great! drama, regardless of which side of the footlights it's played on. So the expectation is that another season will see the throaty torch singer "moanin" low" again to the accompaniment of thunderous applause.

Conferred With Stage Manager It is known that only a few days before her husband's tragic death Llbby conferred in Winston-Salem wun i.er m.mgr. where the bright lights flared her name in other years, it is believed that conference meant that she planned to return to the stae. It is a gaudy, stormy typically Broadway career that Libby Holman has had. A year ago she was the darling of the lane that has so many turnings. Two years before that she couldn't even sell her life story to a magazine devoted to life stories.

Couldn't See Life Story She tried to place her autobiography with a popular weekly at the time when the "Little Show" was flourishing. That musical comedy had enjoyed a 12 months' run. largely because of her own deep-throated crooning. Yet. standing in the wings of the Music Box Theater, waiting for her cue, Miss Holman revealed and bemoaned the fact that, a magazine editor had turned thumbs down on her story.

She was going to rewrite It, she said, and try another market. Going to Rewrite Story She was dressed in a simple gingham housedress. which she wore as the deaf-and-dumb wife of a farmer when she was interviewed.
