TOOK FOUR OUNCES
OF CARBOLIC ACID
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE SUI
CIDE OF CORA CASEY.
Tired of a Full Life of Sorrow the
Wife of Alex Casey Took the Poi
son Which Ended Her Unhappy Life
Expired in Great Agony.
As published 3uut!ay in the Ite
view, Cora Casey, wife of Alexander
Casey, the wealthy mining and hotel
man, committed suicide rxiday night
last in the Wlllard hotel at Tucson,
and of -which ner husband was the
.proprietor. Further .letalls of the
tragedy are now to hand from the Ar
izona Star the following occurrences
are added:
The cause of death was" the dTink
Ing of a four-ounce t ttle of carbolic
acid, and death ensued within fifteen
minutes of the time she took the
poisonous fluid.
About 9 o'clock Proprietor Sivwar.
n? the hotel heard groans issuing from
the room occupied by Mrs. Casey and
be went towards the door to see wnat
the trouble was. As lie was about to
turn the knob the :oor opened and
Mrs. Casey fell forward en him crying,
"I am dying, I am dying."
Mr. Siewart carried her to the bed,
ciillec, assistance and while those in
the hotel were applying cold water to
her head and limbs Mr. Siewart tele
phoned for medical aid. It took about
fifteen minutes to gst Dr. Olcott to
the bedside of the al-acy dying wo
man. Remedies were immediately applied
and the stomach pump used but to no
avail. She was uncons-ious until death.
She suffered the most excruciating
agony from the effects of the poison
as witnessed by the express'rm on her
face and the twisted position of her
body when death relieved her of the
awful suffering.
Behind this sad, yet dramatic, death
Jies a long story of domestic infellclty
and suffering, many parts of which
the public will never know. Cora Tay
lor was her maiden Lame and when
she married Alexander Casey, the
wealthy mining man of Gleason, Cora
was twenty-two years of age. Mr.
Casey was sixty-three.
Domestic troubles v.gan within a
few weeks after the marriage of the
two. Then they moved to this city,
where Mr. Casey had built the hand
some Wlllard hotel, and the aiffer
ences began to grow worse than be
fore. Mr. Ca3ey began drinking and
according to Mrs. Casey s friends be
came abusive to her, beating her and
several times threatening to kill her.
About two weeks ago matters came
to a climax at the Wlllard hotel and
Casey got on a drunk, came out of
his room, the same jae in which his
wife killed herself last night, and with
a Winchester nrte and a six-shooter,
began to -make thing3 lively in the
halls. He ased for his wife, saying
he was going to kill her.
After firing some forty shots in the
building and narrowly avoiding killing
the head waiter of the hotel and Offi
cer Pacheco, he was finally overcome
and landed In jail, where he is now and
where he received the news of his
wife's tragic death.
After this last escapade Mrs. Casey
had her husband put under peace
bonds in the sum of $5,000 and then,
through Attorney Roscoe Dale, began
an action for divorce. Mrs. Casey
since the time of the shooting had
been in a very nervous and downcast
condition. She plunged Into deeper
despair when she received notice from
her husband last Wednesday to vicate
the room in which she was living at
the hotel.
She told Mrs. Siewart after she hid
received the note that she W2 iieart
broken, that she had not a friend in
the world and that she woul-" like to
die and thus end all her earthly troi:
bles. On Thursday she went down to
the jail to see Mr. Casey for tLe first
time since his arrest.
She went to talk to him on the ad
vslbility of going to Gleason to her
brother, Bud Taylor. She spert seme
time with Mr. Casey and before leav
ing he sa-ve er 50- SQe returned to
the hotel and told one of the maids
that she cow had $".", enough to bury
her.
Yesterday she appeared more deject
ed even than usual. The morning
she spent by herself on the west porch
of the hotel. About 2 o'clock in the
afternoon she said that she was wing
to get a bottle cf caroolic acid with
which to e'ean tho carpets in ier
room. She telephoned to F'eisrhman's
t'rug store for it and h .or.r -hi. t Ii:t
tie of the t 'id was K-ut ,:n tn hor la
beled poison.
During the afternoon sh2 came down
lawn aga'n and went '.o 1'ie jail. S?be
had a talk with her husband. What
passed between them at that, their
last interview on Mrth together,
none win ever know.
Mrs. Casey returned to the hotel
from the jail, and at the supper hour
the refused to eat. She took a small
cup of coffee, evidently wishing to pre
pare her stomach for the poison. When
she returned to her room last even
ing she told Miss Conlon, who was
a close friend to her in all her troubles
to sleep in the next room, as she want
ed to be alone.
Miss Conlon retired to her room
with her clothing, and Mrs. Casey
closed the doors between the rooms.
A few moments later and she had
taken her life.
After the death Coroner Culver was
summoned. He viewed the remains
and then ordered them taken to
the Reilly Undertaking parlors, where
they will be viewed by a coroner's
jury at 9 o'clock this morning.
After the removal of the body, a
search of the room" was made anu
under the mattress at the foot of the
bed wa3 found Mrs. Casey's little
BibTe, between the Jcaves of wnlch
was found the following note:
"Nov. 13th. Send all my clotnes and
belongings to Rebecca Taylor, Eicon,
Mo. I am out of my misery now.
When I am dead I hope Casey will be
happy. I want to be buried in Tu.'.T)n.
I die where I was cursed. Had other
people not meddled Le would have
done different. Smith is to blame for
It. I have aways vone what was right
and God will right things some day."
'T have done what is right and
I am not afraid to die CORA."
Casey appeared dumbfounded at
first, and then broke Into tears. He
then "began raving around as if mad,
crying, 'what have I done that this
should happen," and asking God to
take his life. Later he laid down on
his blankets and gave away to violent
weeping, cabling Cora, the name -f
his dead wife. It la the opinion t Mr
Casey's friends that the death of his
wife will unbalance his mind
The Smith mentioned In Mrs. Cas
ey's note was seen by a Star repre
sentative last night, and "ne said that
he never at any time fcari h.iO'fe:-!

Casey, but that he at all times endeav
ored to reconcile Mr. imd Mrs. Casey.
He slid that he was given an order
dictated by Casey's attorney instruct
ing Mrs. Casey to quit the Willard
hotel, but that he unqualifiedly refus
ed to serve it or to have anything to
do with it. He said aimself and fam
ily were exceedingly grieved at the sal
death of Mrs. Casey.

The Review last week published the
account "f the killing of John Martin
at Hachita, by gambler Harry Mann,

Monday afternoon. The men had been
playing 3even-up in the saloon, and
when near the end of the game, it Is
alleged. Martin made a mis-deal. A few
words passed between the men ovet
the deal when Martin took the stake',
amounting to $7.50, and calling to the
ether men in the saloon to come and
have a drink, walked over to the bar.
Mann went out of the 'aloon. but later
returned and told Mirtln that he did
not think he was entitled to the stakas
as it was a mis-deal. The evidence
brought out in the hearing show.' a
that Martin, with an oath declared h.
would make Mann "eat tnat money,"
