Of sulphonal two weeks ago, returned un-
heralded to Lincoln last night, but so far
has given no information which tends to
throw any light upon the mans sudden
death. She says she married Mr.. Hermann
in New York City and that so far as she
knows there was no reason why he should
have wished to end his life. She explained
her delay in returning to Lincoln by say
ing that she waited in Chicago with the ex-

husband. After waiting nearly two weeks
and hearing nothing from him she boarded
a westbound train and at Creston, Ia, sent
a telegram, addressed to her husband, say
ing when she would arrive In Lincoln. This
telegram contained the first news OF the
woman. From the depot Mrs. Hermann
was taken to some place Of seclusion known
only to her friends and those interested in
the settlement Of the dead mans estate.
