Spectator had been taken over by

LAURA BOOTHS DEATH.
She was the Daughter Of DR.. Booth,
Former Pastor of Delaware Ave.
nue. Church.

Laura Booth, the actress, who was found
dead In u New York Hotel Monday, was
tho eldest daughter OF Rev. DR.. j. w. T.
Booth OF the second Baptist Church, Holy
oke, Mass Ten years ago he occupied the
pulpit OF Delaware Avenue Church and
lived with his family on Tatnall street be-
tween Delaware avenue and Eleventh
street.. The daughters were all remarkably
pretty. Miss Booth was by far the hand
soonest, and at an early age was an elocu-
ZIONIST of 10 mean ability, in fact the en-.
tire family has the dramatic spirit.
Her father was near relative of John
Wilkes Booth, and played in his companies
until the assassination of President Lin
coin. He left the stage then, and be-
only one, Laura, inherited the family ten-
dency to histrlonism.
Laura appeared In this city Friday night
with the Cissy Fitzgerald company, which
stopped at the Clayton House. Miss Booth
was assigned room with Miss Everett,an
associate. Mr.. Leo, her reputed husband,
was glvon separate apartment and TO
those who saw him about the hotel he ap-
peared in the most cheerful mood, and
hardly the man on the eve Of a crime.
Laura had been twice married. ::Her firsa
husband was Mr.. Sutherland, wealthy
man Of Philadelphia. She was divorced
from him, and in 1899 she was married
to Walter Woodall, an actor. She was di-
vorced from him in 1898. She was note
drinking woman. Sometimes, after he's
work at the theatre. when she was OK.
hausted, she would drink a glass of beer.
and when she was particularly exhausted,
she would take a little absinthe. Iuuders
stand they found absinthe in her room,
but she was not woman to drink to OK.
cess by any means. do not believe that
Mr.. Ice killed her. They used to quarrel
occasionally, as men and women who love
each other will, but we never thought
anything of 1t, because they were always
slight tiffs that were made up quickly.
Clssy Fitzgerald talked kindly about
the dead woman. saying: Is.
Miss Booth WAS great favorite with
all of us. She played on Saturday lin
Elizabeth, and did not notice anything
peculiar about her. We rode into New
York on the train, and she was laughina
and talking pleasantly, and referring td
our coming engagement In Williamsburg
Mr., Leo was very solioitous for her com
fort, and when they Went away togethel
to their hotel there did not seem to bs
cloud between them"
