DOUBLE SUICIDE IN OMAHA
Two Young Married Women Shuttle Of the
Mortal Coil Together.
THEY TAKE SIXTY GRAINS OF MORPHINE
Matrimonial InrcIicity Impcls Daisy
O'Neil and kittIc GNcry to Take
Final Plunge Into the
Unknown.

Having reached the conclusion that mar
rage is a failure and that life has more
OF hardshps than of pleasures, Daisy
O'Neil and Kittie Overy, each 26 years old
decided to put an end to their existence
last night and swallowed sixty grains Of
morphine.
When found several hours later in their
rooms at 1902 Webster street both were in
comatose state, and although physicians
tried every available means to resuscltate
them there is little hope of their recov-
cry.
The two women have been fast friends
since they were girls and attended the pub
lie schools together at Burlington, la. They
were married and came to Omaha to live
in the same year and having quarreed
with their husbands recently they decided
to die as they have always lved-to-
gether
Both women have been employed as wait
resses in Rome Millers restaurant, 1920
Douglas street, and they occupied apart
ments in the Webster street Nat. Daisy
O'Neil lived with her husband on the third
floor, but Mr. and Mrs. Overy have been
living apart for two weeks and Mrs. Overy
had room on the floor below her friends.
The two had been together all the afternoon
and circumstances indicate that the sui
eide was then planned.
violent Quarrel.
At supper time Fred O'Neil and his wife
had violent quarrel and at o'clock when
he left the house to go to work Daisy was
sitting by the window alone. When he re-
turned shortly before midnight the room
was dark and deserted. In Mrs. Overys
apartments there was a light and repeated
rapping at the door brought a response that
was scarcely audible. Suspecting some
thing wrong, O'Neil kicked opeul the door
and on the bed found the two women al
most unconscious locked in each others
arms. BY dint of severe shaking the Overy
woman was made to tell that they had taken
morphine and the police and city physician
were sent for.
Mrs. Overy said that she and her friend
went to the corner drug store Immediately
after Fred O'Neil started down town. There
they purchased sixty grains OF morphine
and a number of capsules, which they
themselves filled after returning to the
room. The poison was divided equally and
after swallowing it they lay down on the
bed without removing their street cloth
ing.
The physicians worked on the two women
for an hour without securing signs of a
response to emetics City Physician
Spading said they appeared to be too far
gone to be saved.
Mrs. Overys husband is fireman on
the Burlington railroad. The couple quar-
relied two weeks ago and separated since
that time they have met occasionally ana
renewed the quarrel.
Fred ONel is employed by Constable
Hardy. He said the trouble between him
and his wife occurred at supper time and
that his wife's dependency was due to that.

While 1t is probable that there is an end

Lawton's advance promises to meet with a

the rebels are in nightly communication by
means OF signal fires. They avoid being
caught in a trap and are quick to harass
the flank.
