Los Angeles, Dec. 10 – According to the Los Angeles Times, the San Diego County authorities have started an investigation into the death of Thomas H. Ince, moving picture producer, last month a few hours after returning from a yachting party which the Times says included William Randolph Hearst, the publisher, Elinor Glyn, the author, Seena Owen and others. The investigators quote Jessie Howard, a trained nurse who was called to care for Ince as saying that Ince attributed his illness to 'bad liquor.' – Ass. Press.
