WOMAN DIES; LIQUOR TRACED
Channels through which flowed the poison liquor believed to have caused the death of Mrs. Z. W. Niemeyer, wealthy Saugus matron, were being traced today, as authorities prepared to hold an autopsy over the woman's body.
Mrs. Niemeyer, accompanied by her husband and a party of friends and relatives, visited the Ascot races Sunday. While there they had several drinks, which caused both Mr. and Mrs. Niemeyer to become ill upon their return home Sunday night, according to the sheriff's office.
Yesterday, Dr. Claude F. Peters of Newhall was called to attend Mrs. Niemeyer. He found her almost totally blind. After suffering terrible agony she expired early today.
The body was ordered removed to the McNamara Mortuary in North Hollywood by Deputies Thompson and Pember, where an autopsy will be performed.
Meanwhile the officers were searching for the source of the liquor believed to have been responsible for the woman's death.

No other ill effects became apparent until late yesterday when Mrs. Niemeyer was stricken with convulsions, dying before the physician could return.
