Jessie de Garmo Gray is dead.
The sleek little promoter flourishes.
She was tho brainf of the firm.
He was its financier.
Two years ago, mainly by her industry,
the Grays in four months cleared IflStiO in
this city.
JESSIE E. GRAY
Yesterday Charles <1c Garmo Gray's latest
widow Wa> found dtad by fast own hand, Kb
lolttti ly penniless.
j Destitute iii a' strange' city, deserted by
her husband, whom she had raised to sue
ee.-s, estranged from her family, anil dis
eased, both in nrind and body, Mr* Jessie
E. Gray ended her misery Monday night by
shooting herself in the, head with a pistol.
The body was not discovered until yester
day morning. The dead woman was of al
most World-wide reputation, tor through
her husband, Charles de Garmo Gray, tb(
well known promoter of exhibitions, she had
traveled extensively en both hemispheres,
and was w ell known to the hundti it of busi
ness men with! whom her husband had oc
casion to meet.
Gray and his wife came to this city
during tlie latter part of ISIKI. They re
mained for si me months, being engaged in
working up tbe Hi me Products exhibition
for the Merchants and M.ninf ii-tuirr-' asso
ciation. After that exhibition closed the
couple went away snd i ngagt 1 in similar
projects iii other placi s, but r< turned to Los
Angeles last .inly. Gray did tut appeal
then to be very well provided with funds,
and he tried unsuccessfully to interest) the
commercial organisations in various schemes,
but none ol his propositions Were accepted.
He again went away, but Mr-. Cray re
mained. It was given out at that time
that she desired to take a rest, as hi r In altfa
Inn! been pom, but sub-, quent dcvi lopments
setm to indicate that the woman wis de
silled by her husband. Or tain il 's, hi
failed to provide any money for In r ix;,t
enee, and lack of funds to nuet lirr living
expenses is believed to have been the
Strongest cause for her taking her life. Mr-.
Gray boarded on South Main street. She
seemed to be satisfied With her surround
was happy. Letters from De Garmo ar
rived i|itite regularly for a while after his
departure, but the other boarders noticed
gradually that the communications from
(iray began to be less, and the fact that the
woman seldom, if eve.-, mentioned his name,
caused the impression to become general
that they wire estranged. Mrs. Gray,
however, nrat very reticent, and in her con
versations with thnsie sbout In r. sli" ap
pend happy, and to be entirely contented.
That she felt the contrary is new evident.
FINANCIAL STRAITS
About ban- months ago Mrs. Graj la gan
taking electric treatment from Dr. Lovewell
for an incurable blood disease. J| rr pf . or
health was caused through no fault of her
own, and she thought tin treatment would
benclit lii r. It did, but the woman et ased
taking it some time ago, probably for the
reason that she hid no money to pay the
bill, and was too proud to continue in tlie
doctor's debt. The poor Woman pawned
her jewelry anif some of her clothes to tide
hrr along, in the hopes that the would **•
cure money. She wrote to Gray, Hiking for
aid, but either because id' hit own financial
straits, or some other reason, he failed
to respond. Mr.». Gray finally became in
arrears for her hoard, and at the time of her
death was about three months behind. Two
months ago Gray wrote to the landlady.
stating that he Was unable to provide money
fcr his wife's board, but hoped to do so in !
a short time. Her inability to nuet this'
iccount worried Mr*. Qraj vers much, al
though she Waj kindly assured by the land-
I lady that there was no occaiion to trouble
In r-i It on lhat mote.
To Dr. Lovewell, .Mr-, (fray talked tptite
freely about her troubles. .Mrs. (iray was
.1 woman of great mental strength, and is
said to have been the- source of ino-t of her
husband's eUccessh She had exceptional
perceptive faculties, and could readily tee
opportunities for conducting successful ex
positions which the average perron would I
not readily appreciate. She was such an I
aid tn her husband in this- respect, and in
the details of the work, that he finally con
sented to her becoming an equal partner in
the profits. Mrs. (Iray said lo some of her
friend- that she thought her husband's
ability w.i> failing in hii line of Work, and
tin- seemed to be a source ot worry to her.
Mrs. Gray a| parent% did'not look to her
i husband alone for financial aid. sin- com
municated with an attorney in Chicago
j with whom she had intrusted &>(Hio for in
; vestment. She explained her condition, and
i asked that lie realize on this holding. The
woman had part id with an elegant seal-
I skin cloak lor less than a fifth of its value.
1 and was becoming desperate. In the early
Ip ut of November she- received word from
| the Chicago attorney that he could supply
her with no money. This proved a bitter
disappointment, and so depressed) was she
upon the receipt of that letter that she at
tempted to take her life. She took mor
phine, but the drug failed to kill her and
soon after she took a second dose of the
drug, snd was again unsui-ecssful in find
ing death. A third time she went to the
drug store and ordered the drug clerk to
give her prussic acid. The clerk provided
her with some harmless medicine and 1 she
was once more foiled. She said to Dr. Love
well that she was glad she had failed in
taking her lift. Later though, fits of mel
ancholia attacked' her and so depressed
would she become that she wouM express
the intention of killing herself. Why Gray
had girt her the woman seldom discussed*
She had complained that he would some
times wake her up in the night ami insist
upon conversing about the exposition bus
iness, and she wanted to take a rest. There
Seemed to be some other reason for her be
ing absent from the man, though, and
whatever it was it ippeared to weigh heav
ily upon her mind. Dr. Lovewetl said that
she was satisfied tlmt Gray was not con
ducting himself fairly toward her in Dak
land. With the loss of her husband and
the fact that she was estranged from her
family, together with her destitution, the
loneliness of her position forced itself upon
her uu re darkly every day. and it is not
strange that she had grow n weary and stood
ready to chuck the whole business of life.
Dr. and Mrs. Lovewetl naturally pleaded
with her anil tried to dissuade the desper
ate woman from such a course. Kvery time
Mrs. Gray left them she seemed to foil in
better spirits, hut both husband and wife
were fearful of her putting the threat of
suicide into execution. Kaeh morning, upon
arising, they would look toward her win
dow to see if the curtain was up. If th"
window was not shaded they felt relieved
lv cause the woman was probably stiM alive,
but yesterday when they saw the blind
ell Sen late in the morning both fill a grave
foreboding, nnd they soon learned that
their worst fears were correct.
Mrs. Gray had been contemplating sui
cide for so long that it required but a slight
oci urrence to lead her to make up her mind
positively on that score. What the final
event was that caused that state of mind
will probably never l>c known, bin the
miserable, broken-hearted woman evidently
reached that determination Monday after
noon. Her funds were entirely exhausted
and when she wanted to post farewell
letters to her mother and sifter, the poor
woman was forced to borrow postage
stamps willi which to send them, It was
Monday evening that Mrs. Gray went to
the residence of Dr. Lovewell for her last
Favor. She mentioned to Dr. and Mrs.
Lovewell to whom she had written, but
-aid nothing about her intention to end her
life. She appeared more light hearted than
they had scon her at any time in months,
md instead of the change in her actions
indicating an approaching tragedy, both
thought that she hnd received reassuring
uc'.v-j. At the dinner table Mrs. Gray was
sprightly, and talked ami laughed with
those about her. appearing to be itnsually
happy. She retired about the usual time,
and that was the la.-t seen or hoard of her
alive.
It seems that she had become interested
In the | hysical culture movement, and had
been encouraged to so equip herself as to
be able to give lessons in it. She had ar
ranged to start her lessons yesterday.
PREPARED TO DIE
The woman prepared herself to die by
attiring herself in her best dress and silk
underclothes. She wrote the farewell let-
CHARLES DE GARMO GRAY
tor to tlie landlady, expressing remit for
causing her annoyance. Mrs. Gray also
requested that her mother, Mi*. Julia Gil
nun of 209 Pulton street, Rochester, New
: York, be notified of tlie suicide, and cx
i pi-es-ed the desire to, have her body buried
hy the side of her grandfather nt Church-
Ville, N. V.
Cheated of her former desire by the fail
i lire of the drills lo do their work, Mrs.
Gray determined that her fourth attempt
int death should be successful. Unlike most
of the women who take their lives, she
chose a revolver as the means to nccom
. plisll her end. The fatal shot was not filed
I until very late .Monday night, or during
| the early hours of Tuesday morning, tor
no one, not even the person who occupied
j the next room to Mis. (.'ray, heard the
[report of the pistol. The woman dis-
I played unusual nerve in her choice of means
fir suicide, and she sustained this nerve
throughout. She placed the muzzle of the
weapon againist her right temple and pulled
the trigger, death reeulting almost instant
Iv. a.- the ball crashed through the skull
into her brain. She must have stood in
front of an aitn chair when .-he tired the
shot, and then sank back into the chair,
for pools of clotted blood were found both
in front and at the side of the chair. So
desperate a.nd intense had been her desire
to inflict a fatal wound that the pistol
LOS ANGELES HERALD» WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1896
was found gripped in hef cold hand
hours after life had left her.
It wasabout 10 o'clock in the morning that
the dead body was discovered. A chamber
maid went lo the door to clean the room,
thinking Airs. Gray had left long before,
as has been her habit. The girl shoved the
door open, and to her surprise perceived
Mrs. Gray, dressed, but without bar hat,
seated in the arm chair, with her head bent
forward on her breast. Ibe woman at once
saw that something unusual was the matter,
hurried down stairs and notified the land
lady that Mrs. Gray was very sick. Dr.
liovewell was sent for, and be went into the
room nnd there discovered that .Mrs. tiruy
was dead. Deputy Coroner Summerlield
was notified, and at once took charge ot
the body and effects. The remains were
removed to the undertaking rooms of Urr
& times, wbere an inquest w ill be held this
morning at 10 o'clock.
UKAV'S \\ liKKKAHOD TS
It was not known at first wbere 14ray
could be found, as some said be had left
Oakland the iirst part ot the month,, alter
the close ot the exposition there, and gone
lo Portland, Jle proved to be nt room 407,
Call building, San rranciseo, where be ap
parently bad desk room, lie was untitled of
ins wile's death. The following telegram
was received last night from a Air. hi, W .
H right, who apparently >- a friend ot (iray:
"tiray very ill. Please make funeral ar
rangement-. V\ ill send money."
A dispatch was also sent to .Mrs. Oilman
in Rochester, but no reply was received
hut night. \\ hether there will bo a conflict
between the husband and tbe mother in the
disposition of the remains of .Mrs. Gray
remains to be seen, i-'rom statements made
by .Mrs. (iray to her landlady, the dead
woman bad lor some reason become es
tranged from her lather in the east. Old
Mr. Oilman died some time ago. nnd it
seemed a source oi continual regret to .Mrs.
(Iray ttint she had never received Ins tor
giVentSS. Whether this estrangement ex
tends to tbe ether members of her family
cannot, be stated. In view of her last re
quest, it probably does not. .Mrs. (iray once
expressed th« desire to be interred in the
family lot of her landlady, but. as the tare
well note left addressed to her landlady
expressed the Wish to be buried in the
oast, that last request may be observed.
OKAY'S PECULIAR HISTORY
Charles de Garmo Gray was- generally re
garded by tlie men who came in contact with
him in this city AM a remarkably shrewd
little man with a genius' for the organiza
tion of exposition? and fairs, but neverthe
less there was something about ihe man
that to those who saw much of him caused
a feeding of d'strust. A man inrmateiv
Connected With him during the Home
Product! exposition in thi* city said last
night: "(iray let smart enough little fel
low to look at, with an engaging address,
but the poor little woman who lies dead sup
plied the brains cf the linn. She was an
expert woman of business, and during the
exposition here used to make up t he cash
every night nnd keep the accounts. Their
four months' work here netted them about
11800, which, Cray explained, they divided
jin equal shares-.
"All -< rt> of minors about Gray began to
j fly around swon after he was- engaged by the
Merchants and Manufacturers' association,
hut his credentials were so excels nt that
any ill report was not seriously ent< tt;'ir.ed.
Mr. and Mr-. Gray had been grea'. travelers,
having conducted expositions in liimluy,
India; -h hnnne-burg, Soilt'h Africa, and
Melbourne, Australia, and (iray presented
such indisputable warrants of succi's that
we thought we had found an Admirable
L'richton.
"Still, one. at least, of the rumors con
cerning Gray and his antecedents was so
unpleasant ar.d so persistent that finally 1
confronted him directly with the accusation.
"We were having lunch one day In Jerrj
UHch's, and, having fc-d will, felt familiarly
inclined toward each ether. Over the cof
fee and cognac I locked straight into his
eyes and said deliberately:
" 'Gray, did you ever have some serious'
trouble in Paris. France?'
" 'Ni thing to speak of.' jauntily an-wercd
the seek little chap; 'a little affair With t
woman, that's all."
" 'Isn't it true,' I insisted, 'that you were
arrested (or murdering your wife there?'
"Gray still maintained a wonderful In
souciance, and proceeded to explain that a
vromtvfi with whom he had been living in
Paris died suddenly under peculiar cir
cumttances, which temporarily, but w-it'aout
ahj just ground whatever, caused him some
inconvenience—in fact l , arrest for a very
short time, when as *c.nn as the circum
stances were investigated he was en' irely
exont rated,
"Gray's explanation of the affair was
specious enough, -o fair, indeed, that he
■ucceeded in entirely removing from my
mind any suspicion. The particular* of the
stfair. which he related to me, I have really
forgotten."
"Did not Gray have some unpleasant expe
riences In Huffalo with women?' ar'itd
the reporter.
"I really cannot say," replied Gra«'s for-
mer confidant, "but hero again there were
mmc if.''.) rumors floating around. The
• tory goes that tiray became acquainted
with t'wf, -inters who were employed as
typewriters in Buffalo; they were the
Misses <i:'man. nnd came from ChurchviHe,
N. V. (iray paid attention to both sisters.
One of them died very suddenly—reported
to have been suicide, ant! Gray then i« said
to have eloped with the other, the littld
woman wdio shot herself here yesterday."
A CAREER IN COMIC OPERA
To read oi the statuesque Alma Stuart
Stanley's recent comic opera triumphs in
London you would think her some new stage l
divinity who had suddenly burst into blos
som, said Leandfer Richardson of the Stand
ard a couple of months atfo. Ilut if you are
an "old tuner" and beginning to get a lit
tle shiny on the top of the head you will
recall her readily enough as a brief but
dazzling sensation in this town nearly lif
teen years ago, The peerless Alma is no
bud, but tolerably full blow;:.
Win n the English melodrama "Youth"
was first produced here and Alma Bl rode the
stage in lln jntinty white flannels of a rakish
young London swell, there was a buzz of ad
miration that, had swelled into a chorus of
adulation before the week was; over. A
more | effect goddess of a woman was never
created than this elastic, buoyant, six-footer
of an Kt.ijlish nirl. aglow with health and
vitality. She was Juno, Diana and all the
other mythological beauties rolled into one,
but altogether lacking in magnetism and
dramatic talent. I!ut for six months at least
tin- photographers made her famous. Not
even the Maude Branscomb of that period
or Dorothy Usher, the present holder of the
photographic champion belt, were ever dc
picotd in sttoh an nutating variety of artistic
Suddenly this stalwart, superb specimen
of womankind, actuated by one of the Inex
plicable caprices of her sex, married a little
Ra wed-off, illiterate chap named Charles P.
de Garmo, who had won something of a
reputation as a "hustler" while acting as
programmer for Haverly's minstrels. Noth
ing could be more absurdly grotesque than
the physical contrast afforded by thin
strangely assorted couple, and after her
marriage tho Alma Stuart Stanley craze
subsided ns quickly ns it began. Tlie couple
drifted out to California and led a checkered
career, which culminated with the bursting
up of a farce comedy with the insane title of
"I'nintin 1 'Er Red." He Garmo hustled to
no avail, even his inspired device of nrrest
for daubing the Lotta fountain with bright
hued Vermillion failing to catch the atten
tion of indifferent San Francisco.
Separation and divorce followed between
"the long and the short of it," ns the couple
were professionally known. The peerless
Alma drifted buck to London, where she
formed more aristocratic connections, nnd
after many vicissitudes has loomed into
commanding prominence. The little hustler,
who has changed his name to Colonel
Charles de (iarmn (-ray, is managing tin ox
l«osition to Ik- given this month in Oakland,
across the bay from San Francisco.
His LAST VISIT HERE
Last July Charles de Garmo (fray bobbed
up serenely in this city once more, having
conducted several successful expositions in
the east and the Mcc hanics' Fair in San
Francisco since his last visit here. Gray had
also returned to the theatrical business, and
last winter was managing Harry Corson
Clarke's tour iv "What Happened to
Jones." The somewhat erratic comedian
and his manager had a serious disagreement
and parted. Harry Corson was very irate
With Gray, and telegraphed to a friend on
ihe stuff of The Herald asking him what
Gray's record in l.os Angeles had been, nnd
if there was not an unpleasant story about
him from Buffalo. The answer was that
Gray's record here had been entirely satis
factory to the Merchants and Manufac
turers' association, which had employed
him.
When Gray returned here last .Inly the
war excitement was at its height and he Was
ready to launch a scheme for a Red Cross
fair. The war beard was then in power
and Major Gray was summoned before
that august assemblage, lie told the board
that, he and his wife would want 60 per
cent of the proceeds, and the board replied
that they would not give him a cent, as
all services for entertainments under their
auspices must be absolutely gratis. Nothing
daunted, Gray tried to get up an excursion
to see the Seventh regiment in camp at San
Francisco, but this, too, failed, and he
(Nicked up his trap.-, leaving his wife here,
lie soon fotnrd a job in the north, exploiting
the Oakland Home Produc*.' exposition,
which closed a short time ago. Mrs. Gray
was left here at her own request to rest.
Three weeks ago Gray whote to her telling
her to get ready to go to Honolulu. While
here Gray made himself thoroughly at home
|in the rooms of the- Merchants and Manufac
turers' association, of which he had been
made an honorary member. He was accus
tomed to dictate his private correspondence
to the association's stenogra] her, until the
Secretary objected. Mr. Gray was also made
much of by many business men. given boxes
at the theaters, and other exceptional priv
ileges.

ELECTRICITY IS LITE WHEN COM

Don't be deceived; an electric cautery or a common electric belt, that burns
vonr akin, as provt n by trial and use. Is of no benefit or advantage to any one ex
cept the pnrtlcs that make, manufacture nnd sell It. It Is remarkable In this
enlightened nge that people can be Induced to buy an old fashioned electric belt
which has been out of dale and out of use by all scientific, reliable and responsi
ble physicians and surgeons for more than twenty years. The Idea of selling an
old fashioned electric belt that cost from 83c to ft.it to manufacture, for US, 536
