years. LII ucr uduUS Sn0 H6lQ Tea cup,
containing the sediment of some kind of
poison, which it is supposed she took with
suicidal intent. She was last seen alive at
an early hour yesterday morning. The
action of Mr.. Richter, the dead woman's
husband is the subject of
much comment. At 10
o'clock yesterday morning he mysteriously
disappeared, and has not been seen. He
left note, written in German, stating that
his wife had poisoned herself, and he was
off for Paris. Richter is given by his
neighbors the reputation of being shift
less, drunken fellow, about ten years his
wife's junior. The police do not think
that he had anything to do directly with
his wife's determination to make way with
herself and think that he ran away to
escape the responsibility of her burial.
The couple had been in the country only
two years.
