SOCIETY WOMAN IN SCANDAL-Ihere
were sensational developments in Gin
c;nnati yesterday in connection with
the suicide last Tuesday night OF
George Conrad, head waiter of the
Gibson House in that city. His wife,
on apprehending letters from the wife
a prominent business man to her hus-
band, was suing Conrad for divorce
and a wealthy society woman for dam
ages on account of the alienation of at
fection. Among letters from Conrad 10 the
woman he was cnamoured with, one was
found in which Conrad outlined his plan,
'to convey his wife to the middle of the
Ohio river, upset the boat, as though by
accident, swim ashore himself and leave
Mrs. Conrad to drown" When Conrad
was confronted by his wife and attorneys
with this letter and knew he would be
prosecuted criminally, he had hurried
interview with the woman for whom nc
had deserted his wife and then COM
mitted suicide. Mrs. Conrad says he re-
peatedly invited her to take boat rides,
but she had been forewarned. The i'm
plication Of well-known society woman
in Cincinnati in the damage suit Of Mrs.
Conrad has caused great sensation.
