TOOK POISON In ROOM 1S.
a QUARREL WITH HER son
MRS. STUART DECIDES TO DIE.
"YOu'n Have to Bury Me-" She Told
Him. rs He Left in n HufT-A Few
Hours Later She Was Dead
-Disliked ID His Sweetheart.

Mrs. Nancy A. Stuart. 10 years old, wild
ow of Dave Stuart. a laborer, swallowed
two ounces of carholic acid in room Is on
the second floor of the building at 1850 West
Ninth street at o'clock last night. Two
hours later she died on cot in the sur
geon's room at Central station. The cause
of the suicide was poverty and a misunder-
standing with her son, Charles-Stuart, ear
lier in the evening.
Mrs. Stuart had lived in Kansas City
great many years. Recently she had lived
at 1255 Wyoming street with her son, who
is q years old and a cripple. He works as
a beefboner at Swarzschild & Sulzbergers
packing house. OF late he has been keep
ing company with Minnie Brown at II East
Tenth street against his mothers wishes.
When he came from work last night his
mother asked him to give up the girl. He
refused and after a short wordy war left
the house. AS he went out his mother said:
You'll have to bury me-"
This was at 1:30 o'clock. She went direct
to 1900 West Ninth street. where Mrs.
Samuel Steele. her friend, has Il room over
Meaney & Rooney'S saloon. Mrs. Stuart
said nothing to Mrs. Steele about the quar-
rel with her son. and they We're soon
drinking beer together. Mrs. Stuart said
she would like sandwich, and Mrs. Steele
went downstairs to get one. As she went
out she heard Mrs. Stuart say with sigh:
Poor Charley, he will never see me alive
again.
When Mrs. Steele returned to the room
the beer was gone, and Mrs. Stuart lay on
the floor, gasping for breath. A strong
odor of carbolic acid pervaded the room
and Mrs. Steele, without waiting to inves-
tigate. summoned Officer OConnor from
No. = station. He sent for the surgeon and
ambulance. Mrs. Stuart had made sure of
death, however, by swallowing the drug
and washing it down with beer. She did
not speak after taking the acid. The skin
had been burned from her throat and
mouth. Her body was sent to Stewart $
undertaking house. by order of the coron-
er. who will not hold an inquest.
Mrs. Stuart was large woman and had
been married twice. She was in poor cir
cumstances. On February % she pawned
her household effects to buy food. The
pawn tickets. representing SIS. were found
In her pocketbook last night with S2s5
which was turned over to the police.
When Charley Stuart learned of his
mothers deed he hurried to Central police
station, but she was dead. and the body
had been removed when he arrived. He
was deeply affected. His sister. who lives
in the South. was notified of her mother $
death.
