In

MOEN
SLAYING;
STABBED
THROUGH
HEART
The
body
of
Mrs.
Kitty
Modi,
which
was
found
Sunday
with
a
stab
wound
through
the
heart,
was
viewed
by
a
coroner's
jury
which
began
an
inquest
into
the
woman's
death
at
4
p.m.
Wednes
day.
Jurymen
heard
testimony
of
Dr.
R.
E.
Coleman,
hospital
pathologist,
and
then
were
taken
to
the
house
at
817
Comox
Ave.
to
view
the
room
in
which
the
50
year
old
woman
was
stabbed
by
a
man
with
whom
she
had
been
friendly
only
a
few
seconds
before.
"It
looks
like
murder."
Coroner
M
M.
Stephens
said
in
cautious
explanation
to
the
jurors
as
the
hearing
began.
"It
is
probably
one
of
the
most
important
cases
that
has
tome
before
the
coroner
during
my
term
of
duty."
At
the
request
of
the
police,
who
wished
more
time
to
continue
the
Investigation,
the
inquest
was
adjourned
until
1:30
April
25.
Jurors
on
the
inquest
are
G.
D.
Bryant,
foreman.
R.
E.
Gladding.
Stuart
Johns'.one,
John
Gurvich.
Harry
Black.
David
Henderson.
Dr.
Coleman
testified
that
the
knife
with
which
Mrs.
Moen
was
stabbed
entered
the
left
ventricle
the
heart,
penetrating
beyond
the
heart
into
the
liver.
The
woman's
death,
he
said,
was
in
stantaneous.
He
said
that
he
thought
it
likely
that
she
had
been
dead
for
about
six
hours
when
he
examined
the
body
at
10
p
in.
.Sunday,
five
hours
after
it
was
discovered,
but
that
she
may
have
been
dead
for
12
or
even
24
hours.
L
"She
was
lying
In
a
warm
room
alld
with
her
clothes
on
and
a
quilt
thrown
over
her,"
he
explained.
"That
would
explain
ihe
delay
in
rigor
mortis
setting
in,
but
on
the
other
hand,
it
would
also
pre-suppose
a
more
advanced
state
of
decomposition
than
existed.
1
believe
it
likely
that
the
woman
may
have
been
dead
about
six
hours,
although
it
may
have
been
longer."
if
Mrs.
Moen
had
been
dead
lor
six
hours
it
would
mean
that
she
had
been
killed
at
4
p.m.,
an
hour
before
Corp.
A.
T.
Laslunar
smashed
a
rear
window
to
enter
the
house.
The
weapon,
which
Dr.
Coleman
described
as
a
knife,
ha.s
not
been
found
by
police.
Appearance
of
the
wound
indicated
that
the
weapon
was
slender,
possibly
a
hunting
knife.
It
entered
slightly
to
the
left
of
centre,
below
the
breast,
and
apparently
a
sharp
edge
caused
abrasions
as
It
en
tered
or
was
withdrawn.
In
the
luxuriously
furnished
house
at
817
Comox
Ave.,
the
jury
was
shown
the
front
bedroom
In
which
the
woman
met
her
death.
The
bedroom
actually
was
not
a
bedroom
at
all,.
but
a
portion
of
the
living
room
separated
from
It
only
by
an
archway.
In
the
room
was
a
modern
suite
consisting
of
two
wardrobes
with
mirrored
doors,
a
chiffonier
and
the
bed.
Constable
O.
Y.
Brotherston
explained
that
Mrs.
Moen
had
been
lying
on
the
bed
with
a
pillow
over
her
face
and
an
expensive
eiderdown
quilt
drawn
over
her
body.
