WHY DID SHE TRY sU|c|DE?|
Pretty Rosa Read, Only Seventeen,
Swallows Faris Greer.
Recovering in = Drug Store, She Re-
fuses to Explain Her Actions.

Eosa Read. 4 pretty Italian girl. seven
teen years old, staggered in TO drug
store st Forty-fifth street and Sixth ave-
nue. at II o'clock last night and fell un-
conscious upon the floor. She had taken
a dose of Paris green. Why she took 1t
or where she got II is a mystery which
the police are trying to solve.
This morning the girl was in Bellevue
Hospital In critical condition.
When the girl went into Metten-
heimers store, at 794 Sixth avenue. last
night she was noticed by clerk in
the place to grasp at the showcase.
He believed that she was sick, and went
towards her. Before he reached her
side she fell to the floor. Then he saw
that the front of her dress was covered
with a green powder, which he at once
recognized as Paris green.
while the woman was being carried
TO a couch in rear room a boy was
hastily despa tchcd for DR.. Wells. at "a
West Forty-ffth street He came at
once, deciued that the young woman
measures to relieve her.
He succeeded 50 well that by the time
an ambulance had arrived from Bellevue
Hospital Rosa had rcgained conscious
ress and was able to speak.
AS II customary, the ambulance sur
geon wanted the wOman's pedigree, 50
he began to question her. She gave her
age all right, but after that positively
refused to talk.
The ambulance surgeon questioned her.
SO did DR., Wells and the drug clerk:
Policeman Sellman, who had been called
in the mean time, added his efforts TO
those of the others. But II was no use.
The woman only looked at them, smiled
and said she was very sick. that they
had better take her to the hospital be-
fore she died. Once, when the policeman
got more than usually persuasive. the wo
man said she lived al 6 Messina street.
Brooklyn. But Immediately afterwards
she denied II, and as there Is no street
Of that name in Brooklyn. her denial
carried considerable weight with It.
Finally she was taken to the hospital
in the ambulance. The surgeon said she
must have taken the poison long before
she walked into Mettenheimer's store.
No one III the neighborhood had seen
her in the street and the druggists for
blocks around denied that they had sold
her the Paris green.
The ward men of the East Fifth street
station went to Bellevue Hospital to see
the pretty prisoner in an effort to get
some light on the case, but they met
the name she had given.
At Police Headquarters the Brooklyn
police were telegraphed in hopes that
something could be learned of DE wo-
mans family or friends there.
