A Sad Suicide.

VALLEY CITY, OAK. March 3O-TS
ial.] .]-Allyn Warner, arrested on charge
of completely in the suicide of Miss Anna
Root, was released today, and large num-
Der of friends accompanied him to the-depot
to see him off for Perham, MINI. This has
been the most sad, as well as the most
thrilling, episode in the history of this city,
The young lady who, in moment of des-
pondency, caused by the unfortunate term
ination of love affair and by the harsh and
even cruel treatment of relatives from
whom she deserved nothing but kindness,
rashly caused her OWL death by taking a
quantity of carbollc acid, was an esteemed
favorite with all who knew her, and her
untimely death is universally mourned. 1t
transpired in the testimony at the coroner's
inquest that on the day before she found
refuge in death from the troubles of life
and the heartlessnesS of those who should
forters, she stated that she had quarreled
with her brother Herbert regarding her at
tachment for Allyn Warner. and that she
feared to meet him again. Accordingly
she left the house of Mr.. Dawson, where
she was stopping, and took refuge in the
residence of the Rev. Mr.. SIMS where she
remained over night and where she ended
her earthly career.
The unfortunate young lady left several
letters, some of which seemed to imply that
Allyn Warner had won Miss Roots love,
and under the promise of marriage, had
accomplished her ruin; that she asked him
to make good his promise by marriage and
she would leave, allowing him thus to pro-
cure divorce, as the best means to protect
her honor. With a view of determining
the truth of this impression, the body was
exhumed, an autopsy was held, and, to the
honor of the deceased be it said, the re-
port, so far as evidences of maternity were
concerned. were proven to be false.
In one letter, in which she gave direc-
tions for the disposition of her effects, she
shows her loving and forgiving traits Of
character, when she refers to her brother
Herbert-whose austere and harsh treat
ment, more than any other one cause, led to
her suicide-in the following language: Il
suppose there is nothing that l have that
Brother Herbert will accept; if there is,
let him have it. Dear brother, can not
help loving him.
The daily Times, of this city, comment
ing upon the unfortunate affair, uses the
following language: "Sorrowful, indeed,
o, noble woman. was thy welcome home.
Sad must have been the lonely midnight
return of the lost one to the sheltering
protection of that brothers love denied her
in life. Instead OF the clasp of affection
and the kiss of love-instead of high hopes
realized and large ambitions filled-instead
of the light of home she had right to ex-
pect-instead of the loving hands of rela-
tives to close the weary. eyes-instead of
brotherly and sisterly love to comfort her
in her distress-instead of loving advice
and fOrbearance in her fancies, she met re-
buffs, and died among strangers; houseless,
homeless and alone, too weak to bear the
ills of life, and too proud to suffer scorn
where love was her portion. May her sad
death be the means of changing to human
impulses the iron hearts of those whose sat-
isfaction seemed to be derived from her
sOrrow"
