Starr Faithful, 24, commits suicide.

[1931] She is the former mistress of Mayor Andrew Peters. Her mother subsequently claims that the former mayor had sexually abused the girl from the time she was 11 and had turned her into an ether addict. John O’Hara’s novel Butterfield 8, later turned into a movie of the same name, is reputed to be loosely based on Faithful’s life.
