Charged in husband's death

Associated Press · July 3, 1956

Mrs. Lenore Bicknell, 20, Toronto model, is being held today by Canadian authorities on a murder charge in connection with the rifle death of her husband, Bruce, 22, last year. A coroner's jury originally termed the death accidental. Police said she called them Sunday saying she had "something to tell." They quoted Mrs. Bicknell as saying the shooting happened when she accidentally discharged a rifle. Mrs. Bicknell later repudiated Sunday's statement.
