Death Clears Up Disappearance of Russell Bernard
After 7 years, the mystery surrounding the disappearance of RUSSELL BERNARD from his home in Corte Madera has been cleared up.
Bernard, under the name of RUSSELL GIBSON, has been living in Nevada City, and 3 days ago, as a result of an accidental fall in the bathtub of his home there, he was killed.
Previously Frank Maguire of Corte Madera, had seen him in Nevada City and had questioned him, as his face was familiar to Maguire. He then denied that he ever had lived in Corte Madera.
When Maguire read of Gibson's death in Nevada City, he advised the Sheriff that Gibson undoubtedly was Bernard. A search of Gibson's effects resulted in finding an application for a soldier's bonus made out in Bernard's name.
Police Chief Gordon Pingree of Corte Madera, advised Mrs. VIRGINIA BERNARD of her husband's death.
