sons living there have been unable to as
certain the facts, closely has the secret
been kept. Friday afternoon two young
women went to drug store on East Tenth
street and asked for a physician to attend
a young woman of Woodruff Place who
had taken poison. DR.. Stevenson was sum-

but did not learn her name. Neither did
he learn the name of the family living
there or whether the woman who had
taken poison was a member of the family
Families living next door said they did not
know who lived at the house to which the
physician was called. Some of them had
heard of an attempted suicide there, but
were unable to learn the facts. One per-
son said the woman was despondent be-
