Denver, June 20--INS--The body of Mrs. Ella Everhart, 45, was taken to Boone, Iowa, her former home today, by her husband, Frank Everhrt, following a coroner's verdict declaring the woman came to her death from wounds in the throat, "apparently self-inflicted."

Mrs. Everhart's body was found of the floor of her home in Bloomfield, 18 miles northwest of here, Monday. The throat had been slashed from ear to ear with a butcher knife.

The husband was taken into custody for questioning, but later released, county officials declaring the death "a plain case of suicide."
