NEW YORK, December 5.-The death
OF Mrs. Edith Armstrong, better known
as "Dovle" ComStock in Kansas jail
ends strange career Of a beautiful and
notorious woman. She was the daughter
Of D. C. FOrney, founder Of the Wash
ington Chronicle and a niece Of John
w Forney.
All those who knew 'Dovien Com
stock in her childhood speak Of her
dainty beauty. The name was given
her becauss it fitted her. She was
laughing wayward child. II seemed
natural that she should fall 10 love with
Walter q. COmStock o, Providence, who
was rich and handsome and young His
father was very rich. He is a near rel
alive OF the Armours and was in the
Wholesale meat business. They lived
no Providence on Parks avenue, In the
finest hOUsa 10 the Gristocratie ElwOod
section. They, plunged at once into the
social whirl IL was not long before
she gathered about her cOterie Of
young men, many Of them not In the
fashionable set. These young men
drank quantities Of wine. Young Com
stock was at first delighted with the
homage paid bis wife. Then his eyes
opened
AND HE GOT A DIVORCE.
II is said that the correspondent was
Samuel Post, the man who was killed
by Ella Nelson. Some time after the
divorce Mrs. COms,Ock came to New
York and lived 10 various hotels In
July, 1890. she moved 10 No. 344 Smith
street, Brooklyn. IL was there she met
Theodore Larbig, VINO lost his life
through her. lie was 43 years Of age,
4 man who had seen life. Constant in
.ercourse with many people, coupled
with checkered and valuable experience
Ia California, had given him certain
polish. But it was his great strength
md self-cOnfdent manner which at
lracted Mrs. Comstock. be became
constant visitor 10 her fat when he was
In town.
In May she moved TO No. 27S Sackett
street aud took as a hOarder Darwin j.
Meserole, son Of Gen. Meserole. She
had known Meserole several years and
had been
VERY INTIMATE WITH HIM.
On June %, 1891, Larbig called at the
house and began Quarrelling with Mrs.
COmstock. Meserole interfered and
fight ensued in which MeSerOle shot
and killed Larbig. The trial attracted
a good deal Of attention. The young
man was acquitted. William J. GaynOr
was counsel for the defense.
Ten months later "Dovie" was mar
ried 10 John L. Watkins and a short
time afterWard she went west Being
victim OF the opium habit her downfall
was rapid.
