Lottis Robinson Dies Suddenly at Sadie frscy's
House, on Eof SFssi-How 1t
Happened.

Lottis Walters, alias Bertha Robinson,
aged shout twenty-five years, was found
dead in little six-by eight room at The
house of ill-fame kept by Sadie Tracy, at
No. 1914 Eoff street, about hslt-past ten
O'Clock last night.
The discovery was made by girl named
Georgis, who went up to the room 10 see
how her companion in sin, who was on
big drunk, was coming on.
The police were at once notified, and q
telephone message was sent for physi-
clan. Chief Delbrugge ard the doctor, to-
gelher with couple of Oficerc, were soon
at the house, bat nothing could be done
for the unfortunate girl, and Coroner
Schultzs wss notified.
From Sadie Tracy and The girl G Georgia,
the following story OF the affair was OBJ
tanned:
The girl was good deal given to drink
ing liquor, and Saturday she obtained q
bottle of whisky and started off on g
drunk. The other inmates OF tbs house
expostulatsd with her, but she psio 60 at
tention to them, on the contrary threaten
ing TO commit suicide.
Yesterday che continued to drink, and
along late in the afternoon she again
threatened to kill herself. Daring the al
ternOcn and evening the girl, according to
the statement of Georgia, drank mere than
a pint of whisky-bow much more could
not be ascertained. Mrs. Tracy was III,
and demonstrated with the girl for getting
drunk when she was sick. The girl said
she was ''only drinking little" aud on
being advised 70 90 to bed, went up 20 her
room on the second floor. There, during
the evening, she was visited by a man,
and once, when Georgia went up
stairs. the two were talking. La
ter the girl went to sleep, and
Mrs. Tracy, knowing she was inclined to
be noisy and quarrelsome when drunk,
gave orders thai she should not be dis
turbed. About ten o'clock, nothing
having been heard from the girl for some
time, Georgia went up to her room to see
how she was coming on. She got the girl
up on her feet, but she was stupid with
LIQUOR and said she wanted to sleep. She
laid down on the bed, and Georgia left her.
The girl seems to have been anxious about
Der, however, and half an hour later she
again went up to the room. She was
struck by the peculiar expression on the
girls face, and caught her by the hand.
The hand was cold, and fearing the worst,
Georgia rsn down stairs and told Mrs.
Tracy that something was wrong with
Bertbs, as her hands we're cold"
Mrs Tracy got out of bed, where she
was lying sick, aud went up stairs. The
girl was dead or dying, being, as the wo-
man expressed it, warm about the heart. "
She st once gave the alarm, but too late TO
DO anything, as bss been stated.
At first the inmates Of the house. re-
membering Bertha's talk about killing
herself, thought she had poisoned herself,
bat the examination Of the physician
failed 90 carry Ous the theory, and it is
pretty certain that desth was the result Of
TOO much whisky, which probably brought
OF heart failure.
Ths girl was about the medium height,
rather good looking, and plump, AID is
said to be respectfully connected at Al
legheny City. She came to Mis-. Trscy's
shout six or seven months ago. Her pre-
vious history is unknown.
