TINA ALIENS MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
The Dead Body or Daughter OF Judge
Allen Found in "a shallow Creek.


SALEM. N. Y, July 2l.-The residents OF this
town are much exercised over tho death OF
Christine Allen. whose dead body was found In
White Creek. near tho village cemetery, on
Friday evening last She was q pretty girl.
only 20 years OF age. and was OF somewhat
retiring disposition. The water at the spot
whore the corpse was found is only two feet
deep. Opinion is divided ns to whether death
was tho result Of accident, suicide, or foul play.
Tina Allen, as she was Familiarity known bore
an excellent reputation and had no enemies.
She was the daughter OF ex-JudRe Allen, and
granddaughter OF Justice Allen, who served on
the Supreme Court and Court OF Appeals
bench. The family has many friends, and
while some Of these believe that It ia case of
suicide others are OF the opinion that death
was the result OF accident.
Miss Allen left her homo at about $50 P. NJ.
on Friday. saying that she was going to take
stroll. Fifteen minutes later W. J. Taliman.
foreman at the railroad shop. met her on the
road leading to the cemetery. Mrs John
Ward met her in the cemetery soon after
O'clock and Miss Allen pleasantly returned
her salutation. A little later boy saw her
sitting on the stone buttress OF o little bridge
over White Creek. At about 7:45 Andrew
ssarles, a farmer Lying ", near BY, heard splash

been pinned to a log, evidently to prevent 1t
being blown away. but IL Is quito generally be-
lieyed as intended to indicate about where
the body would be found. This 10 strongly
presumptiye OF suicide. Near the hat was a
bunch of flowers which she had gathered in
her walk.
Coroner Milington imranelled jury, and the
inquest was held to-day. Evidence was given
to show that when she left homo she entered
the cemetery at the north end. and chatted
pleasantly with tho keepers wife; She had the
flowers In her hand which afterward were
found near her hat She walked the entire
length OF the cemetery, stopping few
moments at the family lot, and came down tho

times she took a book with her perhaps to
read. hut the spot, for some reason. seemed to
have y peculiar charm and fascination for her.

After hearing the testimony the jury returned
a verdict OF death by drowning, but expressed
no opinion whether 1t was case OF suicide or
