Suicide of San Francisco Woman In
New York.
New YORK, March 31st-The Coroner
was kept busy all the morning examining let
tiers found in the room of young woman
who registered herself at the st. James Hotel
on Saturday as Mrs. G. M. johnson, and was
found dead in her room last evening. The
Coroner says that thus far he has not found
anything to show why the woman killed her
self, but has obtained the name of young
man who knew the woman in San francisco.
He has written to the person, and will not
give out any information regarding the case
until he receives an answer from him. 1t was
asserted that the woman's real name was
Miss Kate A. Mandheim, and that she is
about 26 years of age. She came to this city
between two and three months ago, and
stopped at different irst-class hotels up town.
One of the letters showed that she had made
previous attempt to take her life by turning
on the gas in her room and going TO bed /; but
it does not name the place in which it &C,
Cured. Two pictures of herself, found
in her valise, show her to be
rather pretty and apparently refined. A
stock statement dated January l, 1881, from
the banking house of Eugene A. Dewey, San
Francisco, showing that several hundred
dollars worth of stock business had been
transacted for her by that firm, was also
found. There are also papers showing that
she was dealing in stocks in this city through
a Wall-street firm, whose name could not be
learned. The fact that she registered herself
from New Jersey, and finding the card of q
man living in Hoboken, will probably lead to
clue to the real cause of the woman's act
The post norton examination revealed the
fact that death resulted from morphine
poisoning. A lady called on the Coroner
this afternoon. to make inquiries about the
disposition of the body of Miss Mandheim
She said that business man by the name Of
Mandheim had adopted her when very
young. For a year past Miss Mandheim had
been dissatisfied with her home relations, anG
determined to start out for herself. She ar
rived in this city in November last. Thirty
dollars in money and some jewelry were
found in her satchel Her clothing was o.
the best quality. Her stepfather wrote tt
her that he could not furnish her with any
more money, and it was thought that THU
caused her to destroy herself A telegram
announcing her death was sent to her family
in San Francisco, to ascertain what dis
position would be made of her body. .
