NJ sterious Features Of the Case-Miusee
Rosne's Tragic Death.
The account OF the strange suicide OF the
woman Mingee Roane, at No. los Fifth
avenue, which appeared in the Herald yes
terday, has created more than a passing
sensation. Thomas B. Whitney, with whom
she lived, il appears, is a rich young brew
er OF this city. His father and mother
live in handsome style in Philadelphia.
Immediately after the discovery of the SUI
icide, her father, a highly respectable old
gentleman, was telegraphed Tor, and he ar
rived at an early hour yesterday morning
The son, who is rather good looking, and
about thirty years of age, was apparently
heart-broken, and his father and numerous
young friends were with him all day TO
check the poignancy of his grief. Captain
Steers, who says he has thoroughly investi-
gated the case, and DIR. Ruppancr, OF the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, who was immediately
called to attend the sick woman, but found
her dead, say there is no doubt that this
was a case of suicide and that the rumors
of a murder were idle inventions

a younp woman of twentv-ope n brunet,a
