"Was Bern accustomed to taking medicine?" Bello was asked. He replied that he had noticed several bottles of pills in Bern's room when he was called there following discovery of the death of the studio executive. Coroner Frank Nance attempted to run down rumors that there had been a mysterious second "suicide note" written by Bern in addition to the note already disclosed by police, and in which Bern stated he had committed a "frightful wrong" and that "last night was only a comedy." But Irving Thalberg, official of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, questioned on the witness stand on this subject, replied: was no other note; only the one I gave to the police." "Did you know anything about his marital affairs?" he was asked.

"Nothing that would have shown a cause for suicide." Thalberg also testified that Bern had discussed suicide with him, but declared it had been "only in a philosophical way."

Due to rigid quarantine established at the suggestion of the state department of public health, the outbreak of epidemic encephalitis at Paril, Ill, is coming under control, Dr. Andy Hall, director of the state department of health announced today. When the outbreak occurred number of days ago, the health department sent two investigators to Paris to determine what steps were to be taken. After a careful survey, the two physicians recommended a strict quarantine, although the rules in the health department do not provide for such severe measures in combating encephalitis. Since the quarantine went into effect, Dr.

Hall said, the number of cases reported has decreased considerably. In the last few days, he said, there was only one new case, and that was reported today. Encephalitis, Dr. Hall explained, is a highly fatal malady of the nervous system. In the outbreak at Paris, he continued, it has been confined largely to people in the upper age levels.

"With the exception of two of three, the cases have been over 50 years of age' and a number have been in the seventh and eighth decades of life," Dr. Huston said. "Rich and poor have suffered alike. I do not believe milk is a factor in the epidemiology because a number of different sources of supply are involved."
