Issues Descriptive Circulsr-A Sui
eide Theory Thought of-stags Struck
MAldens.

ST. LOUIS, August 90. The fainter
heart d friends Of the Churchill family are
beginning to turn more towards the theory
Of suicide. No fresh clues OF value have
been discovered, and detectives and re-
porters are finally puzzled to know what
next to do in the case, Letters from some
OF the young lsdy's former school mates
continue to strengthen the theatrical theory,
Is they all mention that Miss Mary had long
expressed determination to take to the
,tago. This is strengthened in their minds
~ the fact that her opera-gl ass is missing,
.hOugh what connection there is between
opera glasses and work behind the foot
lights can not be understood.
The police have issued the following cir
cuar, which bears a photograph OF Miss
Churchill:
Office Chief OF Police, August q. 1893.
Miss Nary Churchill. She is described rs
follows: Seventeen years old, we'll de.
yeOped, light hair, blue eyes, ears
pierced, well formed. very prominent
nose, gold filling between the upper front
teeth, had on light thin dress, small black
dots. had on gold ring with a tifty.cent
gold bangle attacked, also gold lace pin.
Left her home, No. 273I Morgan street, on
sunday, 18th inst, and has not been seen
or heard of since.
Any information OF the whereabouts OF
the above would be thankfully re.
ceiyed by her parents or the Chief OF
Police.
JOHN w. CAMPBELL,
Chief Of Police, st. Louis, No.
Copies are being forwarded in all direc-
TONS and good results are no ped for, al
though the family are now prepared for the
worst.
Whilst searching for clues yesterday a re.
porter called at Miller & Wales theatrical
agency, on Olive street. I'VE have been
bothered to death, - said Mr.. Miller,
with people coming to learn some
thing since the papers published the
report Of Miss Churchill being stage
struck
1--WE thought yesterday" said Mr..
Wales, "that we had found the girl at
Kansas City, as it was learned new girl
from here had made an engagement at
the Coliseum theater, but it turned out to
be another
"Haye you many applications from stage
struck girIsp'
"les. For some Of them we get good
places, but Others have no talent, and, OF
course, they must be passed over. You
have no idea OF the number OF girls in St.
Louis who would do anything to get upon
the stage. They are perfectly crazy
"From what class do they Gomez
"AlI classes. We have the names OF
some OF the best families on our books
Yes, - broke in Miller, "we expect to
send two society ladies from here to-mor
row % join tirst-class company in Spring
field, They are members Of two we'll
known ShakesEear ian clubs in this city and
good actresses. The fact Is, ST, Louis is
rapidly assuming the same position in
ameatur theatrcas that Boston holds fol
music and professional work-it is the
| hub. -
| HAS anyone answering Miss Churchill
description applied to you this season."
Couldn't say as to that said Mr.,
Wales, "she might have come herself
but don't think she did. AT all event
we never had her name. IN tell yol
what we have, though; we hav
the names Of several OF those sam
friends Of hers who have been doing Sc
much talking since she left. They are as
crazy as she to 20 on the stage
could YOU give me their nsmesH'
1T would not be professional, you
know. II they 90 out, it will probably be
under assumed ones, and they would no,
care to have their real ones Known"
