The Pretty nfliineFss Death.
SAN FRANcIsco, Nay "A death, in
volving much mystery. has just been dis
covered. Lottie Hunsinger, . pretty mil
liner Of 20 years, suffering from neuralgia,
visited the Office Of Seth Cook, brother Of
Dan. Cook. the millionaire, who died . few
months CO., for what purpose has not been
clearly shown. While there chatting with
Mr.. Cook, she took up . bottle Of DR..
Fowler's neuralgia pills, and with the
words. "Oh, this will cure my neuralgia"
swallowed q number of them. After
breakfasting with Cook she complained Of
feeling unwell, and died that evening. A
medical gentleman was called in, but did
not report the case, nor did the Coroner,
summoned later. A coffin was ordered, but
before the funeral took place the attention
Of the pelice authorities was called. A
Coroner's Jury reported that the deceased
died OF pleurisy. This was considered
strange, and the matter is still under in
v~estigation.
LATER..-The death Of Lottie Hunsinger
still excites attention. The further inves-
tigation goes to show that death was the
result OF her own carelessness, in taking
an overdose Of neuralgia pills. The fact
OF the young girl having been in Cooks
rooms when her death occurred has nc
significance. The dead girls character 10
unimpeachable. The post morton placed
this beyond all doubt.
