DEATH OF TAYLOR ATTORNEY
AND WIFE RULED ACCIDENTAL
Bodies Found in Home, With-No Marks of Violence, and
Gas Poisoning Blamed After Autopsy by Doctors
TAYLOR, Feb. 10 - A verdict of accidental death by gas poisoning will be entered in the deaths of Solon I. Reinhardt and his wife, whose bodies were found in their home here today, Justice of the Peace J. F. Black said after an investigation.
Justice Black said an autopsy disclosed no marks of violence on the bodies. He said there was no circumstance to indicate that the deaths were other than accidental. The autopsy was held by Doctors J. J. Johns and G. A. Wedmeyer, Justice Black said.
Reinhardt was 38. He was assistant county attorney of Williamson county. The bodies of the couple were found early today by a girl employed at the Reinhardt home. She discovered them when she arrived for work.
Reinhardt was said by investigators to have been found lying on the bed, clad in pajamas. Mrs. Reinhardt apparently had been reading. She was found lying on the bed fully dressed, with a magazine by her side and the reading lamp burning. The radio was turned on. The windows and doors were closed.
A low fire was burning in a gas stove in another room, it was reported.
Justice Black said the physicians reported the couple had been dead six or seven hours before their bodies were discovered.
The couple was prominent in the social and civic affairs of Taylor, where Reinhardt had served as city attorney. They had no children.
