LONE TRAGEDY IN ATHOL.
Body OF Cir Found In silver Lake
Letters Indicate That she Committed
Suicide astIe Rssult of u LoverA's Qusr

rel
The body of b Mayhelie Flagg, the
lS.vears-Old daughter Of Mr. and Mrs
Merrill + Flagg Ct Piuetale avenue,
Athol. was found in Silver lake about
Saturday afternoon, having evdentlybeen
10 the water Is or 20hours. Al! evidences
point to preme itated suicide. although
at first foul play was thought to have
been committed. She had been keep
ing company with Harry lloehn, a
Young man Of 20, and they had quar-
rel and separated. Miss Flagg left home
between and : Friday night saying
she was going out with friends. She
was seen in the Athol post-otiice Just be-
fore :. ami mailed letter to Hoehn to
be given to her mother. He did not re-
ceive it until Saturday moor. In this
she said she was tired Of life and was
going to commit suicide. She said that
her BODY would be found in the lake
near where her waist was found.
Miss Flagg's parents had not worried
over her absence. AS she often stopped
at other girls homes over night. The
letter 10 Hoehn was given TO Mrs Simp-
sou. and later to Mr.: Flagg. Upon eX-
animation the waist was found on the
DdDk OF tue lIht. dpSGllu y DI'lP-'l
and H b Howe went cut in boat ard
saw the body about 80 feet from shore in
10 feet of water.
The body had the appearance of hav-
ing been in the water some hours. The
hands were puckered and the right side
of the face covered with bruises The
right ear was cut nearly 10 half and
nearly severed. There were also marks
all over the right side. Or Oliver be-
lieves the girl either attempted suicide
by cutting herself with her knife, and,
not succeeding, threw herself into the
lake: or that, after sinking, she
was cut and bruised by sticks under
water; more probably the first, lie
does not think there was any foul play.
The girl owned a penknife. but it was
found at home. and no knife was found
on the scene of the drowning. She left
letters to her patents. bequeathing her
watch and other valuables TO friends and
relatives.
