A Young Widow From Danville is Prevented
From Destroying Himself

Especial to News and Observer)
Newton, N. c., Sept 6.-There was
quite a sensation in our quiet little town
this evening over an attempt to commit
suicide.
Mrs. A. L. Freeman, a widow of about
% years of age, claiming to be from Dan
vile, Va, came to this place about q
week ago, and was employed as inspector
of stockings in the Newton Hosiery mills.
She is boarding at the Summerson House,
and today letter was found in her room,
stating that she was tired of life, and
intended ending it, and requesting that
her body be sent to W. L. Austin, of
Danville, Va.
The matter was reported to the mayor,
who sent parties in search of the woman.
She was found at the house of a negro,
some distance from town, having in her
possession bottle of laudanum and some
whiskey in a pint bottle.
After some persuasion she was brought
back and is closely guarded by friends,
as the mayor, after investigation, found
her mentally deranged.
A telegram was sent to w. L. Austin,
10 whom she had requested her body
sent, asking what disposition should be
made of her.
