a cordon about the door and word
was passed that u woman had acci
dentally shot herself. As soon as
quiet was restored the ajnbulance
from Flower Hospital was rushed to
a side entrance and the woman car
ried out. A purse she carried con-;
talned 11.75. but neither cards nor
handkerchief.
Manager Muschetnheim. of the As
tor. said she was not a guest of the
hotel, and that he had never seen
her before.
letter to Her Mother.
A search of the girl's clothing re
vealed three letters. They were ad- !
dressed simply; "To Mother,” ‘ To Sis
ter." "To Blanche."
In the letter "to mother" she said
"Never reproach yourself for what 1
am about to do. You have been an
angel of love to me. and I regret that
I cause you this troutde. The force
of fate has proven too strong for me
to cope with, and being defenseless,
It han driven me against the wall and
forced me to this cowardly t ? > act.
Then. too. 1 hate the Insincerity, sor
didness and disillusionment of life.
That Is all that X have met with In
the last two years. And now I seek
the unknown."
The latter appeared to signed
"Nnrah,’' but the signature was so
blurred It could not be deciphered.
The letters addressed “to sister" and
"to Blanche" the police refused to
make public. They said they seemed
to refer to a family quarrel and they
hope to establish the identity of the
girl through them.
In the handbag there was also,
found a manuscript in vers* entitled I
"Thessalia" extending over several:
sheets of paper. There was also this 1
penciled note: "This Is my pet story, i
I want to have It burled with me. 11
would like to take my books with me
as companions.”
Her Condition Grave.
Later in the morning Dr. Hughes,
who is In charge of the case, stated
that there were symptoms of peri
tonitis and that the girl was In a
grave condition. A man, accompanied
by two young women, came to the
hospital shortly before noon and gsked
to see the girl. They said that they
believed they might know her but she
was In too serious a state to be dis
turbed and they left. Neither the man !
nor the woman would discuss the case j
nor Mtould they say Jfhft. they thought.
the girl was. They were believed to I
be theatrical people.
All Toms to Failure.
On one of the girl's skirts was
found a label of lletherlngton, Lon
don, a well known British costume
manufacturer. When they found that i
they could not identify the girl, the j
police decided to give out the other '
two letters. The first addressed to I
"Dear Blanche,” read m follows
"You may and may not think me ;
foolish, but I have made up my mind >
to do it from the time that dear daddy
died. I have not had many happy
moments, but I am accountable for
what I do and I am willing to take)
chances The woman writers for news
papers print a lot of foolish nonsense
about these things—they eregeneraliv !

seldom give the real reason for actf j
such »e I am about to commit They i

thing turn* to rallute. Thlr.k kindly
of me. I might have beer. no. but
mine has been an unhappy life."
Disagree* With titter.
This letter had been signed, but the
signature had been erased. The other
letter addressed to "Dearest Sister”
read as follows:
"Of course we disagree on this, as
we do on every other topic We have
been !>oth at fault, and unfortunately
my disposition has been such that I
could not always see things at some
of my friends have. You never did
understand me nor my way of doing
things. Now that our wilts are about
to clash for the last time, you may
think more kindly of me. Within the
last two years I have several times
been tempted to do this, and now I
will be successful for the first time In
my life. It Is herd to do this, but
harder still not to do It. Do not grieve
for me. I have never intentionally
done or said any unkind thlnga In my
life. I realise that my life lias been
a mistake—a horrible mistake. Ob
livion Is what I want. You know how
earnestly I have tried to help myself
and he Independent—hut with what
success"' You of all others know that
my life has been a failure. I hope
and pray that my blessings may fall
on your life like isfltumn leases and
wish you success. Say good-bye for
me to the dear ones. Again, I ask for
you to think kindly of me.”
“It is no one's business who I am.
I have made a failure of my life, but
I have wronged no one but myself. I
don’t want my friends or relatives to
have any more worry because of me.
Just let me die and bury me in Potter's
Field."
With tears streaming down her
cheeks and her frail form racked by
the pain resulting from a self-inflicted
bullet wound, the young woman pa
thetically appealed to the doctors and
guarding police to let her "die in
peace."
"Successful in One Thing-’’
She was fully conscious, and when
Dr. Hughes, of the hospital staff, told
her that there was no hope for her
and that It would be useless to probe
for the bullet, which had penetrated
her lung and then ranged downward
to her abdomen, she smiled and said:
"Thank God I shall be successful In
one thing Ht least " Th» girl—she Is
hardly more than twenty years old.
the doctors »ay, and one of the most
beautiful ever brought into the Insti
tution—persisted in her refusal to
throw any light on her Identity; That
she Is refined Is unmistakable.
The police hope to clear up the
mystery by the pathetic letters found
on her after she was taken to the hos
pital, but so far they have failed. A
number of persons called at the hos
pital to see her and try to Identify her.
but her condition was so desperate that
no one was permitted in the ward,
and her clothing meant nothing to the
callers. None who visited the insti
tution would talk, although most of
them were plainly of the theatrical
profession.
That the girl had come to this city
to make a career and that she had dis
mally failed was made certain by the
note she left for her mother. In which
she pleaded that tf she had been will
ing to accede to the demands of men
she had met she need not have tried
to end her life
The girl used a .22 calibre revolver
and the bullet missed her heart by
only a few Inches. The weapon Is
pearl-handled and an expensive one.
and the police this afternoon started to
trace it in the hope of thus learning
the girl's identity.

ed lysol. She had no conversation at
al! with him.
•‘When 1 was informed of Mr. War
riner's statement 1 sent for him. He
cam* to the house and I told him he
must exonerate Mrs. Wilbon from all
blame by telling exactly what had oc
curred. He then admitted that it had
all been his fault.
"We all felt sorry for Mr. Warri
ner—he had our sympathy next to the
mother of the bahy. But tve could
not have him attempt to throw any
blame on her shoulders "
Instantaneous Hlfeot.
Mr. Wilbon said that the poison
given to the baby had an almost in
stantaneous effect. Within two min
utes, he said, the child began to froth
at the mouth and the nose. Several
physicians were called in. and then
Mrs Wilbon went to the phone, called
up Druggist Warriner and asked him
what he had given the baby.
Shortly after this Mr. Warnner
came rushing to the house. As he
entered Mrs Wilbon cried out: "My
trod, you have killed my child '
“Yes." he is said to have replied;
"I have, and I'll never get over It."
\ot Tampered With.
Mr Warriner then went upstairs,
took the child in his lap and tried to
give it antidotes for the poison.
Shortly before noon Mr. Warriner
took the stand in his own behalf and
declared that the accident, whtie his
fault, was one which grieved him al
most as much aa the mother of the
baby. He was always careful with hi*
prescriptions, he said, but he had lin
ed so many peracrlptiona from the
same doctor calling for lysol that he
took It for granted that this was the
drug wanted.
Mr Warriner denied absolutely that
he had tampered with Dr. Winn's
writing on the prescription
Dater in his testimony Mr. Warln
ner repeated the substance of his
printed statement to the effect that
he had asked Mrs. Wilson If she
wished two ounce# of lysol. and that
she replied that she did. He did
not even think of laxoi, he said, be
cause laxol la rarely sold In two-ounce
vials.
Clifton C. Courtney, a V. P. I. stu
dent employed during the summer as
clerk in Mr. Warlnner'* store, bore
out Mr. Warlnnar’a testimony con
cerning the conversation with Mrs.
Wilbon.
"X heard Dr. Warlnner ask: ‘Now
you want two ounce# of lysol. do you?'
said he. "and I heard Mrs, Wilbon
reply: Yes. thafs right.' "
Mr. Courtney declared most em
phatically that he had not tampered
with the prescription. He had not
touched It. he said, until late Sunday
evening, when It was shown to him
in the presence of Dr. Winn. He also
said h$ had not seen any one else
touch the prescription from the time
Mrs. Wilbon left it lying on a show
race in the store.
* This concluded the testimony, and
the coroner decided to adjourn the
inquest until Friday morning at l#
o'clock, in order that the prescription
In question may be examined.

I . '
Facts in G. O. P. Can't Be
Welded by Taft’s Letter.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Aug. 30 —
Will Jem J. Bryan to-day took occasion
to express opinion* about the letter
' recently written by President Taft to
; Chairman Grlscom, of the New York
I county Republican committee, and
about the Taft campaign letter to
Representative McKinley. Regarding
the Taft letter on the New York situ
ation, Bryan said:
"The president in writing that let
ter waa striving to bring together the
two factions of the Republican party.
I do not believe that he realises that
the breRch la so wide that such meas
ures will not suffice to heal the
wounds.”
Commenting on President Taft's
campaign document, he said the let
ter Indicated that the president now
believes it wise to reduce the tariff
by separate bills Instead of a general
measure.
| "When we tried to do this in 1S92,"
! said the commoner, “the Republicans
ridiculed our plan and called the bills
1 'pop gun' bills. They will probably
: speak more respectfully hereafter.”

COLONEL TALKS
. ON CONSTITUTIONS

upon doing Justice. Do not trust men

HAS HIS OW5T~IVAY;
PULLS LIXDSEY UP
DENVER, COL.., August 30.—When
Theodore Roosevelt's train pulled out
of Denver this morning the colonel
had determined on reaching Pueblo
to discuss the constitution soon to be
adopted by the new States of Arlxona
and Xew Mexico.
Colonel Roosevelt expected to
argue In favor of an elastic and earlly
amended constitution for each State.
He believes that even in the best con
sttutions evil points may creep in and
if the constitution te tied up by a
clause making amendment difficult or
impossible, the people, are practically
powerless to correct evils.
The colonel was expected to say
that. In constitution making, the idea
should be progressive throughout and
sV the colonel Is said to have ex
pressed himself privately that "a dead
| hand should not be laid on a new
■ State."
1 After his brief address at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the V. M.
C A. at Pueblo, Roosevelt will leave
this afternoon for Ossaw&tcmle, Kan.,
which he will reach to-morrow- morn
: tng.
Endorsee Vincent and Lindsey.
Of everything Rooeevelt did during
' his visit here yesterday, two are point
ed out to-day as significant politically.
One was the virtual ratification by the
contributing editor of the insurgent
j movement in Colorado, when at last
night s banquet by the Colorado Live
Stock Association he Indorsed Merle
Vincent, insurgent candidate for the
republican gubernatorial nomination,
saying that Vincent had "stated my
policies more clearly and comprehen
sively that could have been done by
their author."
This is expected to add very ma
; tertaily to Vincent's strength.
The other incident was w’hen Col
| onel Roosevelt went out of hie way to
honor Judge Ben B. Lindaey. who It
is charged, had been made the vic
tim of a studied Insult by the com
mittee In chs^ge of Roosevelt's recep
’ tion. Lindsey had been Ignored by
the reception committees and left off
all programs.
The judge was the first man Roose
velt asked for when he reached Den
ver and when he saw the Jurist at his
auditorium meeting, the colonel grab
bed and pushed him upon the plat
form. despite the almost concealed
I attempts of the reception committee
to bar the Judge.
At last night's banquet United States
i Senator Guggenheim, one of seven
. Guggenheim brothers, was a promi
! nent figure and he had an opportunity
{to haar James R. Garfield and Gifford
1 Ptnchot, champions of the progres
l stve conservation Ideas, attack the
Ballinger conservation Idea behind
whlih it has been charged the Gug
gen helms and J. P. Morgan stand.
