MISS Nellie Beaty's sudden Death IN
the Presence of Her Lover.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, June 2-The little
hamlet of Georgetown, about sixteen miles
east of Bloomington, in Brown county, is
excited over the alleged mysterious suicide
of Miss Nellie Beatty, the seventeen-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs George Beatty,
we'll known family of the community. She
died in the presence of her lover, a young
man by the name of Long, and his peculiar
action has aroused suspicion. For some
time there had been ugly talk among their
acquaintance. Sunday night Long came to
spend the evening with Miss Beatty, and
they went into an adjoining room of the
house away from the parents. Nothing
more was know nor heard from the young
folks until almost midnight, when the
mother was Mortified by the announcement
of Long that her daughter was dead The
mother asked a few questions, which were
unsatisfactory answered by the young
man, and without any further explanation
he left the house The next day the coroner
was sent for, and, after an examination,
he came to the conclusion that the girl had
been poisoned. The belief is that the young
people had trouble while alone in the room,
and that in her despair she took poison and
ended her life. Long says he was so sur
prised and Mortified that he did not know
what to do and in attempting to render her
assistance she died before he thought of
such result. He says he did not see her
take any drug
