Revenge After Death.
Some More Relating to Rev.
Schorr's Suicide.
THE WOMAN BE LOVED AND LOST.

He Sends Her Letters to Him to News
Leaves q screed Charging Her with Be-
ing Gay Deceiver-His Conduct De-
clared Cowardly by His Lady-Love, Who
Wouldn't Marry Him.
BALTIMORE, May 29-The one topic of
conversation here is the cause of the Rev.
suicide as published in an out-of- town paper
to which he had sent both his correspond
ence and that of the woman he loved, as well
as her name. Schorr evidently was a Pc
culiar man, taking his meals at an expensive
hotel, and having comfortable rooms at the
st. Paul's parish house. A favorite with
the fashionable congregation of St Paurs,
where he was assistant rector, he constantly
refused to talk about his parents, who lived
in an humble way in an obscure part of
town.
Ashamed of His Family.
1t is said that having borrowed their saw
ings he was ashamed of them. He gave
many false reasons for his periodical gloom
first friend had committed suicide because
he had urged the payment of debt; then q
mythical sister was seriously i'll in Brooklyn,
etc. Schorr was buried yesterday The Rt
Rev. William Paret, ID. D., bishop of Mary
land, and the Rev. j. S. b. Hodges, pastor of
ST. Paurs recited the ceremony of the
church and no remarks were made by either
clergyman.
The Woman i'm the Case.
Mrs Margaret NJ Smith, of 1919 North
Charles street, the woman whonfSchorr says
ruined his life, was seen at her home last
evening. Her appearance betrayed the fact
that she had suffered a great deal recently
She is tall and slender, and has very dark,
expressive eyes and black hair She looked
to be about 40 years of age "1he letters
as published were true" she said, Abut Mr.
Schorr's act in sending the love-letters and
my picture was the act of coward, and was
done because l would never marry him
She Loved the Citrate.
"At the time wrote them really did care
for him, but told him l could not marry
him. 1 was much older than Mr. Schorr-in
fact he was a boy to me. knew nothing of
his family, and he would never tell me any
thing about them. His continued attention
won my regard and / did learn to love him,
but always told him l could never mary him
think he was crazy. The last paragraph in
the newspaper is absolutely false, and was
written in spirit of revenge"
The Letter Referred to.
She referred to this rambling letter dated
May 25, 1899: at is nearly Sunday morn
ing. am desperate man. Mrs. Margaret
NJ. Smith has deceived me. She became en-
gagged to me, and when l objected to certain
of her actions with other men she was mad
and said she was Independent of me. She is
a miserable, deceptive woman She treated
the Rev. Mr.. Pond, of Philadelphia, in
the same way. Indeed, claiming that
she loved me, she persuaded me to write the
letter Of rejection to him. He considered
himself as her engaged lover for five years,
and yet in all that time she has been gay
woman. She will talk about the untruth 1
told of j. II. Flagler and her in the presence
of c. W. Benedict, but she made me promise
l would lie to Mr. Benedict about Flagler's
relations to me so she could get Benedict in
her power, expect. Like fool l did.
