Elvin Lindon Refuses to Discuss Nurse Suicide Case
Elvin Lindon, Lexington oil man arrested in Louisville Wednesday on a
disorderly conduct charge in connection with the suicide there Tuesday by
drowning in the Ohio River of Miss Edna Scott, surgical nurse, arrived in
Lexington Saturday morning.
Upon his arrival, Mr. Lindon went to his home, 336 Transylvania Park, where
he will remain until June 15, he said, the date set for his hearing in the
Louisville police court.
He refused to make a statement concerning the case declaring that he had
never talked about relations with Miss Scott and Ethel Crouch who(se)
revelations to Mrs. Lindon are believed to have caused the suicide.
The funeral of Miss Scott was held Saturday afternoon, an escort of eighteen
nurses from the Deaconess Hospital accompanying the body on a motor trip to
her home, Scottsburg, Indiana, where the funeral was held.
It is declared by Louisville police that Miss Scott decided to take her life
after she learned that Mr. Linden (sic) with whom she was understood to have
been in love, was a married man.
