Alien Japanese Ends Own Life

LOS ANGELES, Saturday, Dec. 13 -- (AP) -- After praying throughout the day, Nao Hamano, 45 years old, one of 432 alien Japanese arrested on suspicion of espionage strangled herself in jail yesterday with her silk stockings, police said.

The woman had been in mental distress since her arrest at a ricecake factory Thursday, officers said. On her person they found a $3,000 Japanese war bond.
