  Woman Falls to Death from Hotel Window Eye Witnesses Tell of Watching Fall After Woman Clambered Through Screen

  In a plunge from the ninth floor of the Gunter Hotel to the mezzanine roof, Mrs. Joe Young Grimsinger, 41, 220 Porter St., was instantly killed Monday morning. Judge Frank Vaughan, justice of the peace, who conducted an inquest, returned a verdict of suicide. Sam Clemmons, office manager for an insurance firm on the seventh floor of the Travis building, saw the fatal leap. He described it this way:

  Eye-Witness

  "I was sitting by the window telephoning when I noticed a woman sitting in the window on the ninth floor of the Gunter Hotel. She was sitting with her back to me.

  "A moment later I saw her stand in the window and push her feet through the screen to the outside. Then she sat down again with her legs swinging outside the window.

  "She changed position again, this time letting herself down outside the window, flat against the building and hanging there by her hands for a moment. Then she let loose. I looked away when she was halfway down."

  Hears Thud

  In the offices bordering the mezzanine roof, Miss Helen Nixon, the Gunter manager's secretary, and Ted Logan, auditor, heard a thud about 10 a.m.

  Miss Nixon said it sounded like someone upstairs moving furniture. She thought no more about it till Logan came in. He said there was someone lying outside the office window. Logan investigated and found the body. He reported to Eddie Corrin, assistant manager, who called police. The Gunter manger was out of his office at the time.

  Lived with Uncle

  City Det. Jack Hice, owner of the rooming house at 220 Porter St., last listed address of Mrs. Grimsinger, said she was his niece and lived there as a guest of himself and Mrs. Hice.

  "About two and a half weeks ago,: he said, "she quit her job as a secretary for a Three Rivers law attorney. She moved in with us at 125 Porter St. and later to the rooming house. She left there June 21."

  He described the dead woman as "very intelligent, bright and educated." She was in bad health, he said, and a year ago she lost a lot of money." He added that she had been estranged from her husband for almost a year.
