KILLED HERSELF FOR LOVE.
Young Woman, Supposed Philadelphia
Takes Acid

Takes Acid
Fishkill Landing, N. Y, October g.
Last Sunday morning a pretty young
woman committed suicide by taking
carbolic acid The woman boarded in
Gus Albert's house Of ill-repute at
Glenham, suburb of this place. The
remains were inferred by Mr.. Albert,
and no clue as to her identity was left.
She passed by the name of Mae Gar
rison, or Gleason, and her act was due
to Jealousy over a man who had been
a caller that night. A day before her
suicide the girls at the hotel had a
group picture taken. They are now
ready. and several photographs will be
sent out to inquiring people. The
young woman limited that her home
was in Philadelphia. There now seems
to be good reason to believe the girls
name is Patterson, as the appended
letter shows:
Philadelphia, Pa, October 4, 1897.
ITO Coroner Bevier:
Dear Sir:--In to0ay's paper | read OF
suicide by the name of Mae Gleason
Would you kindly send ne at once q
full description of her: also lock OF
