NEW HAMPSHIRE.


LANCASTER, April IAN inquest upon the
body of Miss Mile F. Phelps, who recently
committed suicide here has been completed.
DR.. Jones testified to treating her for headache
April 9Th, when she was very melancholy. On
the 10th he was called to see her again, when
che admitted criminal intimacy with j. II.
Baird, editor of the Republican, the paper upon
which she was a compositor. She said she had
no friends and wished to end her life. She
told the doctor she had taken morphine and
hoped that she should die. She said Baird &C
complished her ruin in Littleton; that she
loved him and ne ought to marry her Dr.
Jones left her with her landlady while he went
for another physician, but he was unable to
find one and when he returned the girl was
unconscious, remaining so until she died. Mrs.
Streeter, her landlady, corroborated the doc.
tors story. The coroner's verdict simply states
the cause OF her death in accordance with the
foregoing testimony.
Saturday the streets were filled with an ex-
cited crowd threatening to tar and feather
Baird unless criminal proceedings were taken
against him. At 11.30 o'clock a complaint
was sworn out by Coroner William Haywood,
and Baird was arrested at his boarding house
where he had secreted himself and was taken
to Jail to await examination.
