Mrs. Bowers Conasnits suicide BECAUSE "a
Valentine Insults Mer.
IN. K. 1ribune.l
just at dark Thursday evening a wo-
man was seen leaning over the coping
at 4O1 West Nineteenth street. Then
she seemingly pitched forward, hung for
q moment with failing grasp upon the
coping, and then fell into the area In
Nineteenth street, distance of fifty
feet. The neighbors, who FASTENED to
her side, recognized her as Mrs. Della
@. Bowers. She was borne, still alive, to
her apartments at ISL Ninth avenue.
She died an hour later. She and her
husband, Mr.. Daniel I'll. Bowers, at
tended the Sixteenth Street Church, Of
which she was a devoted member.
Their home life was unruffied until on
St. Valentines Day Mrs. Bowers re-
ceived two valentines and letter. One
was entitled "a Seamstress," the
other, sin Love with Every Preacher"
and the letter left no doubt that the
sender intended a scandalous charge
against Mrs. Bowers. She hand,
ed the three missives to her hus-
band, and he laughed at them but a
neighbor talked about them among
Mrs. Bowers acquaintances, and de-
spite her husbands confidence in her.
the groundless scandal dethroned her
reason.
