ancholy, headache, backache, faint

IDENTIFIED,
Body Found in tho Pond al
Wellesley Was That Of
Mrs. John JenniSOn.

Natick, May THE woman whose
body was found in a pond on farm
in Wellesley yesterday was Mrs. John
Jennison, wife of a farmer. Identifi-
cation was made by the husband, and
the body was brought to the Jennison
home here today. The only fact having
a bearing on the death of the woman
which her friends can recall is that
recently she had been despondent, but
the cause of the feeling is not known.
She was 32 years old and had been
married only about three months.
Those interested in the case accept the
theory that the woman committed sui
eide.
Mrs. Jennison was a member of the
Hickok family well known i'm Connect
icut. She formerly lived at Norwich.
which was her place OF residence at the
time of her marriage. She was grad
uate of Wellesley college, which insti-
tuition she attended about ten years
ago.
Mrs Jennison started from her home
yesterday, saying that she was going
to ride TO Grafton TO visit some friends.
Her husband supposed that she had
made the trip until news OF the finding
OF the body, the description of which
corresponded with that OF his wife,
reached him this morning. He at once
visited the Wellesly undertaken who
had charge of the body and identified
IL as that OF his wife.
