Doctors, they added, assured Soraya that

Some Hollywood folks are still upset
over Hedda Hopper’s book which “tells
all” One actress complained: “Imagine
writing our memoirs instead of her own!”
: Tur End
And, if it became public knowledge, what
would happen to bis work? Would he be
besmirched by scandal just when his life’s
dream was close to the brink of coming
truce? He'd better see Marilyn less. He'd
better try to stop seeing her altogether. -
And ‘the more he tried to stop seeing
her, the more desperate Marilyn became.
There were the phone calls, the threats,
the pills again.
He didn't
make him almost hate her.
Finally, on a Sunday night August 5,
1962, Marilyn tried again. .
She epoke to him on the phone.
“Don't leave me,” she pleaded. .
“Jr’s over,” he answered, “I'll never
leave my wife. I can't see you any more.”
He hung up on her and she tried to
Jose herself in sleep. Beside her bed there
was a bottle of fifty sleep capsules. There,
there was her friend, the thing that always
gave her peace.
She gulped down a handful.
The phone rang. It was a close friend
of hers, a friend who knew all about the
romance. .
“He won't ‘take me back,” she cried.
_ “He said bell never come back.”
The friend told ber, “Tl come over
and talk to you.” .
But Marilyn didn’t want anyone to sce
her the way ehe Jooked. Her eyes were
awollen and red. She'd Jet her blonde hair
grow out ontil the dark roots showed. Her
face clearly showed the sigus of drinking
and pills. ; .
“No,” she eaid, “I've taken a sleeping
, pill. P'll just go to sleep.”
But ahe couldn’t sleep—and next te
believe her, all she did was
sleep, she would feel better. She cou’
dream about her career, her fame. Bi
she had no career. Her studio had firea
ber. Well, she could dream that somebody
loved her. She could forget about her
father who never wanted her, her mother
who escaped to mental institutions. And
she could forget this man who had left
her, too. If she could only sleep. And next
to her was the bottle of pills.
The bottle. It was empty! There were
none left.
She had to get help! She called him.
“Maybe she’s faking .. -
First, he thought: J/ this gets out I'm
through. I can’t get involved in something
like this. Then, She’s faking. She's threat-
ened me before. She'd never really do it.
He told her again he couldn’ get in-
volved—that he was a married man. He
hung up.
Jt all took less than a minute.
The last thing Marilyn heard was the
burzing of the receiver in her hand.
Coroner Theodore J. Curphey, in his
oficial report, noted: “Miss Monroe had
often expressed the wish to give up, with-
draw, and even to die. On more than one
--occasion in the past, when disappointed
and depressed, she had made suicide at-
tempts by using sedative drugs. On these
occasions she had called for help and had
been rescued.” '
This time she had not been rescued.
It was her housekeeper, Mrs. Eunice
Murray, who first sensed that. something
was wrong. The light in Marilyn’s bed-
room was still burning at three that morn-
ing. She knocked. There was no answer.
She tried the door. It was locked.
She called Marilyn’s psychiatrist, Dr.
Ralph Greenson. He hurried over and
broke in the window. When he found her,
she was dead. The telephone was atill
buzzing in her hand.
Now it is a year later. Mrs. Murray has
disappeared, she’d vanished shortly after
Marilyn’s death. Pat Newcombe, Marilyn’s
publicity agent, has left the Hollywood
scene and is now working in Washington,
D.C. Joe DiMaggio, her second husband,
has remained faithful to her memory—he
has a smal] bouquet of roses placed on
her crypt every week. ;
But he is not the only one who is faith-
ful to Marilyn today. There is atill the
man. The man who killed Marilyn. He is
the man they can never arrest. He is the
man who is still at-large.
He is the man who is living the death
she #0 quickly found.
We have lost her, but so bas he.
Wherever he goes, whatever he touches,
whomever he sees; he thinks of Marilyn.
His guilt never leaves him, his fear has
become his friend. For once, long ago,
before all this, he was an honorable man.
But he had made a fatal mistake. And
now he is lost—not to al] the world—but
to himself. —_
Some people know who he is. Will they
ever reveal it publicly? Does his wife
know? Would she tell? And he himself,
wil) his guilt pry his tongue loose?
You can see him in a crowd. You can
reach out and touch him... . And you
will never know that he is the man who
killed Marilyn Monroe.
And he js the man who killed himself.
