The Newtown bee., 1888-12-21

OF the Town, she was made comparatively
comfortable and it was thought that she
might survive till her husbands release,
but, Saturday morning, the community
was shocked with the startling announce
ment that she had been found dead and
still more surprised to learn that on her
person 9here was $40 so in cash. In her
rooms were three bottles of Duffey's
Malt Extract which q friend had pur-
chased for her, at different intervals,
reaching over a period of about three
months. 1t was supposed that she had
taken the contents, but, after her death,
it was discovered that two of the bottles
were untouched and only part of the
third was gone. There is mystery con-
nected with her history which may never
be solved in this world, but the s.judg-
ment of charity is that the poor woman
was insane and it is to be hoped that the
accusations of guilt may be buried in
the silence of her grave.

No report of this sad affair ought, in
justice to the husband of the deceased,
to close without mention of the fact that,
in the hands of his counsel, are many let
tiers bearing testimony to his good char
acter while in New York, of which the
following are fair specimens:
