Story of Mrs Cores Life.
nv the Associated Press }

Mexico City, Nov. 21.-The tragic death
in Paris OF Mrs. Gore. wife of Thomas
Sinclair Gore, has shocked her friends in
this city, where she was regarded as a
lady of artistic tastes and had large
circle of acquaintances in the American
and English colonies. Her husband is
Canadian and brought his wife here as
bride some fifteen years ago. She is be-
leved to have been born in Ohio, but on
being orphaned at an early age, was
brought up by her aunt, Mrs. P. T. Dick
inson, OF Alameda, California. 1t is said
that the couple did not live happily to-
gether. They had one child which died.
For some time past, Mr. and Mrs. Gore
have lived apart, and she, being of an
artistic temperament and fond of music,
went to Vienna, where she studied under
good masters. She returned to this city
to arrange for her future support, her
husband being the owner of large
amount of real estate here and proprie-
tor of the Gore court apartment house
in the fashionable quarter. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Gore was very liberal in
the treatment of his wife, agreeing to an
equal division Of the ownership and rent
as far as the apartment house was con-
cerned.
Edward G, Butler, her attorney here,
says that the idea of suicide is to be dis
carded at once. Mrs. Gore was wrapped
up in her music, and her business inter
ests here were in excellent shape. He
had only yesterday received a business
letter from her. In this letter she wrote:l
II am taking lessons with Masgkowski,
the great composer and pianist. / am
working hard and getting along we'll. I
am also taking French lessons, so that
my time is completely occupied"
Mrs Gore is recalled as being a re-
fined woman of irreproachable character,
admired for her grace and taste IN dress
and was often known to take part in
concerts here.
Her husband made his money in coal
and real estate operations. He is now
supposed to be singing in opera in tho
United States although possessed of large
property here
Mrs. Cores maiden name was Nellie
s. Stogdall, and her father was a Meth
odist minister, dead years ago.

tie remains of the late Capt. w. H.

pecially here, where, for near on to half
a century, he has made his home. People

THE GORE MYSTERY
No Light Thrown on it by the
Autopsy. De Rydzeski
in Jail,
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, Nov. 21.-The tragic death of the
young American artist, Mrs. Ellen Gore,
continues to occupy the attention of the
police and the staff of the American con-
sulate. The developments of the true
inwardness of the mystery were followed
with eager interest by the public today
and brought forward many who had
known Mrs. Gore here and in America
and from them her antecedents were fully
established. 1t was developed also that
she had been a pupil of the famous COM
poser, Moszkowski, while De Rydzewski
was pupil of Jean Lasalle, the baritone
of the grand opera. The police branch
of the mystery seemingly remains un-
developed and no further light has been
thown on the causes which led to the
tragedy or the circumstances attending
its enactment. An autopsy was held to-
day by DR.. Socquet and resulted in a
formal report that the cause of death
was a bullet wound. Consul General
Gowdy assigned a member of his staff
to attend the autopsy and take notes of
the condition OF the body That official
reported that the bullet entered the fore
head above the left eye and went clear
through the head The bullet was not
found.
The prefect OF police designated Gas
time Wennette,. the expert armorer, to
study the weapon and wound for the
purpose of determining the possibility of
suicide.
Although many friends of Mrs. Gore
called on Mr.. Gowdy. none claimed the
body, and late in the day he cabled At
torney Butler, of Mexico City, asking as
to its disposition.
The family of DR.. Buttner, an American
dentist in the Rue de la Paix, furnished
details of the antecedents of Miss Gore.
De Rydzewsh continues in confinement
The police decline to admit his friends
to see him pending inquiries. M. LasalIe
has undertaken to champion his pupils
in this and has designated two leading
lawyers to defend him. Lasalle says the
murder theory is untenable as De Ryd-
zewski is of a tender, sympathetic dispo-
sition.
De Rydzewski and his brother brought
| Mrs. Gore to Lasalle recently. She dis
cussed her musical ambitions and was
yivacious, charming, and enthusiastic over
music.
The police have modified their theory.
| De Rydzewski at first claimed that the
| girl was dead and he afterwards said
| she had committed suicide. The police,
at first held this to be damaging con-
| tradiction, but Commissary Landell said,
after fuller investigation today that the
second declaration regarding suicide, was
misunderstood and that De Rydzewski in
| tended to indicate merely that she was
dead.
