United States commissioners being in
formed. an attempt was made TO collect
private subscriptions TO provide nurses

Cincinnati. Nov. 6.-Annie Eversleigh. a
young woman formerly of %Ironton Ohio.
was found drowned in the bathtub In the
fiat of Frank H.. Woodrow. in the Alta
building this morning. A mystery sur
rounds the case. The woman, in CON-
pany with Woodrow. Boyd Vessel and
Mrs. Josie Gerrold, a widow. had spent
the night together in woodrow's fiat In
a drunken orgie. To-day none Of the three
survivors could. or would. give an ac-
count OF Miss Eversleigh's death.
Both young men are under parole arrest
and surveillance pending an examination
to ascertain the cause OF the bruise on
the dead girls temple. None Of the sur
vivors have made any attempt to conceal
the facts or to escape, though they left
no stone unturned to prevent publicity.
The present opinion Is that II Is n case of
suicide or accidental drowning. Woodrow.
Vessel and Mrs. Gerrold are all members
of the best families In the city. Vessel
and the Eversleigh woman had lived to-
gether under assumed names.
