A suicide pact as a climax of a
wedding anniversary was staged in
the fashionable Hotel Sherman this
afternoon.
As a result Mrs. William C. Ellis
is dqad and her husband is dying at
the Iroquois Memorial Hospital.

of the woman, with her throat cut,
was found lying across the bed. The
man lay on the floor suffering from
three bullet wounds.

with Morris Ebersole, an advertising

aroused Ebersole and he notified the
hotel management.
Ellis revived consciousness long
enough to inform the police it was a
suicide pact.
