Her Husband Killed By . Fall.
BAYPoRT. L. L, July 1o.-After q careful In
yestigation by tho authorities thore proves to
30 no foundation FOR the belief that the sudden
death Of Charles La Cluso and his wife, which
occurred here yesterday, was due to foul play.
Mr.. 10 Cluse was over 20 years old and his
wife was about the Same age. They lived to-
eether In O small cottage about q mile from tho
railroad station. Mrs. LIE Cluse was a sufferer
from heart trouble.
Her physician had prescribed medicine for
spells Of weakness to which she was frequently
subject. This medicine was. It appears, kept in
o closet in the kitchen. Both were lying dead
on the kitchen floor when discovered by q grand
child who lived q short distance away.
A superb ial examination disclosing that Mrs.
LIE Cluse had died OF heart disease. and that her
from q falling against the kitchen stove. 4
ment, and the authorities believe that Mrs. La
ClIse being attacked with heart failure, her
husband hurried to tho closet to get medicine for
her. ,
In stepping from tho chair no must have lost
hts balance. He fell against the stove and re-
ceived the wounds on the head that resulted in
his death soon after his wife had expired.
There were found spots of blood on the stove
and pools of II near the hearth, showing that
Mr.. lie Cluse must have struck the stove and
rolled over on tho hearth stone. There Ia an
entire absence of motive for q crime. Nothing
in the house was disturbed and no evidence was
discovered that would sustain the slightest sus-
picton Of foul play.
