YOUNG GIRLS SUICIDE
Her Lover Arrested, but Exonerated by
the Coroner's Jury.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
| WINCHESTER VA, August 1s.-
Winchester was deeply shocked by the
announcement that Miss Rebecca. Al
! bin, pretty sixteen-year-old girl, hal
committed suicide on prominent street
! b. swallowing a portion of the contents
| OF a bottle of strychnine at an early
| hour Sunday morning. J. r. Pinnell-
a book agent from Philadelphia. was ar
rested in connection with Miss Albin's
death and was locked up. The motive
for the girls action is a mystery, and
the coroner's jury failed to gain any in
formation as to the cause leading to
the girls self-destruction. Residents OF
North Washington Street were attracted
il front OF Mrs. Mary Miller's residence
b. means, and there found a young girl
lying on the sidewalk in commissions.
She said her name was Rebecca Albin
and that she had swallowed strychnine,
later she was dead. When told that she
was dying the girl regretted her act,
exclaiming: "Oh! why did I do it? But
am tired. so tired Of life"
According to Pnnells testimony be-
fore the coroner. he met Miss Albin on
Thursday last, and since then he had
been almost constantly in her company
at driving and walking. She seemed
deeply attached to him. Saturday af-
ternoon the couple went walking through
a cemetery, returning to town about 4
o'clock. The girl then went to a drug
store and purchased two ounces of chic
reform. and then said her mother had
sent her for a IS cent bottle of strych-
nine. A bottle containing ffty-two
grains was sold to her, and she went
home.
No testimony was produced before the
coroners, jury of Miss Albins move
rents between the time she finally left
home at o'clock and when she took
the poison at $3.50 o'clock. Pinnell de-
nied that she was with him. although
he admitted Having made an enga cement
to go driving with the girl. He claimed
he drove around town alone hunting
for Miss Albin. and first heard Of the
suicide by chance. The half empty bot
tic of strychnine was found on a road
three squares from where Miss Albin
was found, and physicians state that it
would have been impossible for her to
have swallowed such quantity OF the
poison and then walked the distance to
Washington Street.
The coroner's jury, however, exoner-
lted Pinnell, and brought in a verdict
os suicide by strychnine. The dead girl
was a daughter of ex-Justice NJ. D.
Albin. a former marble dealer here, and
a member of a highly respected fam
lily. Her funeral took place at the
INIarket-'Street Methodist Episcopal
Church this afternoon, Rev. c. D. Bulia
officiating. The church was thronged
with friends, and the floral tributes were
pl ofuse and beautiful. One design was
sent by j. r. Pinnell, the picture agent
OF Philadelphia, whose name was con-
nected with the suicide, and who was
arrested and subsequently released.

THE BOMB.
Miss Cabaniss said in substance:
Gentlemen have come before YOU

which think will be Of vast benefit to
the hospital and almshouse, and I feel
sure that you will lend me your assist,
ance. am anxious to place the Rich
mond Almshouse and Hospital on a
Professional plane. along with similar
public institutions in other cities.
The morals Of the, institution are not
what they should be. there being entirely
too much laxity. and my, sole idea Is
that the committee or the governing
board, as it, were. assist in raising the
professional standard of the place Since
coming in here have promulgated a
set Of rules for the government of GER
tain portions Of the Institutions, but they
are not enforced as they should be.
And before came here there was in
force a general set OF orders for the
conduct OF the place but employees

others who had visited the institution

MISS Cabaniss stated she had not intend

having always shown a disposition to
treat with her on ali matters pertaining
to the best interests of the institution.
She added that possibly she had ex-
pressed herself too strongly in speaking
with the committee. but was equally as
astonlshed at the stand taken by Mr..
Davis as he was at the statement made
by her.
Mr. Gunst. chairman Of the committee,
made brief talk, in which he said
that for seven years he had been on the
Relief of the Poor Committee and never
before had he heard of any immortality
in the institution. He had always prided
himself on the fact that at least one de-
partrnent of the city was free from
scandal.
Mr. Hobson followed Mr. Gunst, en-
dorsing everything he had said, stating
that he, too. had been on the committee
for seven years The incident was
brought to a close by Mr.. -Davis.stMiss
Cabaniss and the committee concluding
that there had simply been misunder-
standing. the lady having based her COM
PARSONS and allegations from strict
ly professional standpoint. it being her
idea to place the public hospital and aims
house on a slightly different basis from
what has been the former custom.

The defense in the George P Holman

endeavor to secure an acquittal, and he
feels now that his effort will prove sue

made that nothing improper occurred
while the couple was securing shelter

The question as to what became Of he
young lady after the couple left the
house was settled last night, when Mr.
William Moseley. at whose house the
couple had been visiting. said: She came
back to our house and said she ran all

his daughter had decided to spend Tie
