A PETHETIC SUICIDE.
Case OF a Poor Woman Who Was
Driven TO Suicide BY the lnius-
tice Of Uukind Gossips.

The New Paris Mirror of this
week s issue contains most pathetic
story of the suicide of a poor woman
near that town. The story is given
simply and effectively as follows:
Miss Nancy Copestick, who has
been in the employ of Linsey Wiley
since his wife's death. was found
dead Ia her bed last Friday morning.
She appeared to be slumbering, and
there being no signs Of any struggle
PLAY or suicide and hastily sum-
moned Coroner Hustled, who arrived
in few hours with Sheriff Runkle.
The result of this inquest is surpris-
ing to all. A letter was found re-
citing her troubles, in which she re-
iterated her allegations against
Samuel Mcclure. That because of
this incident her own sex accused her
of being a bad woman, Stunned and
gossiped about her. Rather than
endure this modification and dis
grace she chose death, and requested
that careful post norton be held
to prove her innocence. The letter
was addressed to her sister Lyde,
who in the presence OF the coroner
opened and read il. Certain por-
tions of it they refuse to disclose and
some startling developments are ex-
| pected-
No suicide was perhaps ever more
coolly and deliberately planned and
executed than this. Every detail of
her funeral and burial was arranged
for The undertaken, minister and
| burial site were all selected, the
| house put in perfect order, her bed
clothes were all fresh and clean, and
her own person had been carefully
bathed and clad in clean clothes. The
coroner. with the assistance of DIR.
Meyers, proceeded to carry out her
request, and found that she had
taken an eighth of an ounce of NOR
phine Careful examination verified
the truth of her statement, Goo
knows | am innocent.
On Saturday, April 18th, she went
to Greenville, in company with hel
sister, to attend to some matters il
connection with the damage suit she
brought against Samuel Mcclure
last December She called on hel
ATTORNEYS. Trainor & Huffman. who
read to her the answer to her petit
ton. She seemed greatly worried
and agitated, being of a rather ner
) vous temperament, and remarked
that she was mortified over the af
fair, as it had caused no end o
gossip to be carried on concerning
her personal and private character
which was wholly false. After finish
ing her business she went to Kipp':
drug store where she purchased tn,
deadly drug, and on going home be
gan her preparations to die. She ac
complished this without arousins
any suspicion whatever.
