Washington " J.. Jan. (SpeciaD.-The mystery
surrounding the death OF Miss Susan Ross. whose
body was found on Marble HI. near Phillipsburg.

The conclusions reached by the authorities are
that Miss Ross Was demented and feeble. and that
she purchased the poison found near her body after
which she wandered TO Marble Hill and Was over
taken BY storm and lay exposed during the night
She probably died there. and after death what
money she had was taken from her 10y passing
hunter.
