ACTRESS' SUICIDE
GRIEF AT ESTRANGEMENT (Received January 25, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK. Jan. 24 The actress, Rosamond Pinehot. daughter of a former governor of Pennsylvania, who became internationally famous in the Reinhardt plav "Miracle," has committed suicide. Clad in evening clothes, she placed a hose from the exhaust to the inside of a motor-car while it stood in a garage and was suffocated by the fumes. Friends attribute the suicide to grief due to an estrangement deceased had with her husband, Mr. William Gaston. Ironically enough, Mr. Reinhardt, in explaining his choice of the actress, described her as "the perfect type fa? tragedy."
