Letters From "William Turner of Perry, Ok., Make Cnse Myaterlous. rettjbuc special. Chicago, 111.. May 3L Whether Miss May Thompson. Iwho was soon to become the bride of William Turner of Perry, Ok., died as the result of natural causes or was the victim of the application of the facial mask of a beauty doctor is yet to be de termined by the Coroner. Miss Thompson became seriously ill while,; me jims-i Mas suit uii uer lace, one uicu soon after It was removed by Moctor E-, XV. Johnron. who superintended te treats ment which was to make the young woru an physically more attractive. Lieutenant O'Hara of the police, exhlbSs a bottle, labeled "poison" and containing ether, which was found in the girl's ro'm. Lieutenant O'Hara contends that the euier was rubbed Into the patient's face and t.iat she Inhaled tho drug all night and Mas suffocated. Doctor Springer admits ihat death may have been caused by some poisonous lotion rubbed on the glrl"s fe:e. Asldo from the poison and suffocation theory 19 another that the girl w j the victim of a woman's Jealousy. This theory Is based on several letters written recently by Miss Thompson's fiance, which rirak of "danger" and "risk" in a way tKit has given a complicated aspect to the crie. .In a letter written by Mr. Turneijon May 15 ho said: "You tell me not to worry PJbout this lady at your doctor's, but don't you know that jealousy Is the worst thing you can have to ccpe with? 1 certainly would not give her any chance to have eaiy kind of revenge that she may think she is entitled to. just let tne wnoie tnmg drop. T don't say how often yoif take these treatments, but If only one k week you will only miss a few ot rcjost. I would rather you try and do withcot them than run any risk." In a letter written May 2ft Mr. Turner says: "Don't forget to keep yc weather eye on that woman, and If you see any danger quit the treatment altogetlier." Five days later Mr. Turner wrote: "Now. Mary, dearest. If you fancy any thing with that doctor's iiancee don't run any risk. Just trot oft 'tp home and put the time In running on the farm, gaining strength by natural elecxrlclty rather than run any chances with that person con nected with the electrical machine." The inquest will be 'aeld next Thursday. Meanwhile Mr. Turner -will have arrived in Chicago to clear up the mystery attached to his letters. -i RIVER NEWS.
