PLuNeES FROM A THIRD. STORY WINDOW
Eludes the Vigilance of Her Nurse
Her Decd Due to Dependency and
Mclancholla SuperiMaluced by In
jurics Received in Being Thrown
from n Horse Last Spring.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Nfiss Leila
Herbert, aged 80, daughter of cx-Secre-
tary of the Navy Herbert, of Alabama,
died ut her home in this city yesterday
us the result of jumping from the third
story window of her home on New
Hampshire avenue in the most fashion,
able part of the city just off Dupont
Circle. The sudden death and tragic
features surrounding it were a great
shock to the large circle OF friends she
had made in the course of her life in
Washington.
Detail. of the Suicide.
The following authorized statement
was made by gentleman familiar with
all the facts of the Suicide:
miss Herbert. at the time of the occur
rence, was suffering from acute melan-
cholia. 1t developed several weeks ago as
the final result Of injuries received by be-
ing thrown from her horse last spring.
1.-THE melancholia was not insanity In
the sense Of being accompanied by delu-
sions. At the same time there was pro-
found depression. and as is always the case
in this type of disease. there was great dan
ger that suicidal tendencies would develop.
For this reason nurses were provided to
maintain the closest watchfulness. No su-

Monday. when for the first time Miss
Herbert made an attempt to get out Of
the window, but was restrained by the
nurse. This led to additional caution,
and two nurses alternatcd In constant
watchfulness OF the patient She was at all
times rational. quiet and gentle, and it
was supposed the disease would yield
to treatment. Early Tuesday morning the
nurse on duty noticed a small spot Of blood
On the bed covering. She inquired what it
meant. but the invalid endeavored to pass
it by lightly. On making investigation,
however. the nurse found that the under
bedclothes were saturated with blood, and
that Miss Herbert had severed an artery Of
her wrist with a pair Of scissors. Feeling
that the emergency was great, IT, nurse
FASTENED to the door and called an alarm.
In this mOmentary withdrawal from the
bedside Miss Herbert leaped out and sprang
from the window. The plunge was made
headforemost, so that she lighted on the
top Of her head on the asphalt pavement.
This injury alone was sufficient to nave
caused death from concussion of the brain.
and it was doubtless the immediate cause.
Aside from this cursory examins ton
indicated that the skull was fractured. The
seVering of the artery would also have re-
suited fatally. When the physician reached
her Miss Herbert was still breathing, but
Verdict Of the Coroner'x Jury.
The coroner returned verdict of sui
eide during temporary insanity. AS the
facts in the case were clear, he decided
the inquest was unnecessary.
Ex-Secretary Herbert reached Wash
ington at ten o'clock Tuesday night,
having been on his way from Alabama
to spend the Christmas with his family,
when the news of his daughters death
met him on the train.
