THE UNKNOWN DEAD.
The remains of the young woman who
committed suicide at Laundry Farm, pre-
suGlably on Saturday, were buried yesterday
by Coroner Evers, without Identification on
account OF the condition of the body. 1t
was said yesterday that the woman inquired
on Friday afternoon at q house on Seventh
street for room with gas, but there was
none empty that suited her because they
were without gas. 1t is supposed that she
wanted to commit suicide by asphyxiation.
A lady called at the Morgue late in the
afternoon and said that the deceased may
have been an acquaintance who had threat
ened suicide on account OF trouble with her
husband. She went over to San Francisco
to ascertain whether the woman is missing.
A man and woman, living IN San Francisco,
but who refused to tell the Coroner their
name OF address, gave it as their belief that
the suicide was their servant-girl, Nor
weglan who disappeared about one week
ago. ana Who was undoubtedly crazy on
religion. She had friends living on Tehama
street. The Identification will probably be
| made complete to-day, although there is no
doubt but that the servant-gi rl and the sui
eide are one and the same.
