ONTARIO, Feb 10.- An autopsy performed today by Dr. John Burby, county autopsy surgeon, at the mortuary of J. B. Draper & Co. in Ontario showed that the bullet which early Sunday ended the life of Mrs. Margaret Riddle at an Ontario hotel, had passed directly through the center of the young woman's heart.
Mrs. Riddle shot herself in the closet of a hotel bedroom with a pistol belonging to Boyd Alan Taylor, 29, Los Angeles attorney, who had registered for the couple as man and wife a few minutes earlier. Taylor was in the bath at the time the fatal shot was fired, he told police.
Deputy Coroner E. P. Doyle was in Ontario today to continue the investigation into the young woman's death. He has not yet released the body and is said to be delaying decision on a possible inquest until the arrival of Ralph Riddle, law-student husband of the dead girl, from San Francisco.
