Peculiar Death at a City Hotel
4 Woman Dies Under Suspicious Cir.
cumSianCes.

Bangor. August l6. A woman named Mrs.
Laura Ilodgdon, died at the Franklin House be.
tween 3 and 4 o'clock this morning. She arrived
by the Maine Central train from Mechanic Falls
Friday night, and was met by Ferdinand l.. Mann
of Oldtown. They took room at the hotel the
same night, where they remained. Sunday the
parties went to ride. Mann says the woman was
about 81 years Of age, and the daughter OF Chas.
and Sarah johnson, Of West Great Works. Her
mother has lived at Orono since she was years
old Her father has long been in Minnesota and
does not help the family. A few years ago she
married a man named Iodgdon, who left her,
Mann also says she wrote him last week, saying
she had written her folks she was coming home.
He took no notice of it and she wrote him to meet
her at the Maine Central depot in that city Friday
night. He says when she retired Sunday night,
about 9 80 o'clock, she complained of a pain in
her stomach, and towards morning awakened him
with her groans. He alarmed the house and she
died in few minutes. A coroner's jury returned
a verdict that she came to her death by cholera
morbus, mental excitement and physical prostra-
ton, and that there were no indications Of vio-
lence.
The dead woman's mother, sister, brother, uncle
and Mann testified they never apptehended vio-
lence between the parties. Mann says he paid
her board at Mechanic Falls, so she could save her
money to buy clothes, as they were to be married
some time.
