surprised at their powers. Their talks
were we'll received, as shown by the
close atteatioa paid their remarks, and
their coming encouraged and revived
us, and the impressions they made will

CALLIE GRACE.

Who ended her life IN Forest Park and
whose body was identified by Mrs. Nellie
c. Preston.
Provident Association for work. She was
sent to the restaurant conducted by ". l.
NcIndoo at De BaIviere and DelInar ave-
nues, and there worked for several weeks.
1t is not known in what manner she spent
her time after leaving the employ of Nc
Indoo and up to the time she committed
the awful deed.
The first information leading to the girls
Identification was furnished by J. J. Mar
tin, Transit Company conductor. living at
No. 1912 West End avenue. He called at
the morgue yesterday afternoon and stated
that he had seen the young woman on his
street car Sunday afternoon coming from
Creve COeur Lake. He had conversed with
her, he said and she had told him that she
had been out to see her aunt. Martin said
he had previously seen the girl on several
occasions talking to William Stone, a one
legged flagman at Forsythe Junction, and
that he was quite sure she had been en-
p!oyed at the lunch counter owned by Nc
Indoo. Later several other men visited the
morgue and identified the dead girl as hav-
ing worked for McIndoo.
Mrs. Preston stated that the girl had told
her she was an orphan. and that she had
been raised from infancy by an aunt in CO.
lumbia- Her appearance was one Of refine
rnent and her manners denoted good breed
ing. The girl stated that she had never
worked for living before. but that she
could not get along with her aunt and had
come to ST. Louis with the intention OF
striking out for herself She was about Is
years old, Mrs Preston said, and rather
large for her age. Her hair was cut short
and she was not dressed in the height Of
fashion.
George Enz of No. 2716 Locust street
called at the morgue yesterday and, after
viewing the girls body, stated that he be
lieved he saw her at Union Station Sunday
afternoon, at which time she was carrying
a bottle containing carbolic acid. He said
he spoke to her, thinking she was from
Evansville, ILL.,. his former home. She said
nothing to Enz which would convey the
impression that she was contemplating sui
eide.
Hundreds of persons visited the mGrgue
yesterday and viewed the body through the
glass partition. Many attempted to lden-
tlfy her. but Mrs. Preston's story was the
most convincing. and therefore the only one
accepted by the morSue officials. Others
had identified the girl as Nellie Brown OF
Twenty-third and Olive streets and as Mary
Gazelle OF Tenth and Walnut streets. both
of which proved 10 be incorrect.
Telegranhic inquiries were sent TO CO.
Iumbia last night in the hope of ascertain
ing the name OF the girls aunt. The IN
quest will be held to-day. Mclndad ana
Stone will be called as witnesses.
