Miss Hayes came 10 this city from
9andusky O., three years ago. She was
one OF the reigning beauties Of the Ohio
town. and Mt that time had literary as
ptra lions. Since coming to THE city she
has dabbled with plays. having written
several. only one ~ which. according 10
her mother. has ever been produced. and

called In our physician at once and
she was under hfs care for nearly two
weeks.
From that time on my daughter suf-
fered constantly from severe internal
pains She also complained of great
pain in the back OF her head. where she
had received heavy blow. Last Thurs
day she took serious Irn. but by Sat
urday seemed to be better and would not
permit me 20 call In a physician. That
night she grew much worse and on Sun
day morning | called in DR. Rydel. OF
No. 276 West Thirty eighth street. He
told me at once that my daughter was In
a serious condition. He prescribed for
her and did everything that was possible.
but in the afternoon she fell into un-
consciousness and soon died
II believe that the reason for the at
tack that the young man made on my
daughter that day I'm July was because
she had threatened to begin an action
against him for breach OF promise. He
represented to us that he had secured
q divorce from his wife and that he was
about TO come into possession OF a large
share OF his fathers estate. He told
my daughter that as soon as he got this
money he would marry her
"He made this promise because he
knew that he had a rival for her hand
IN a well-known physician who was
frequent caller i'm our house. But my
daughter had refused to marry the ply
stefan more than two years ago
Police Capt. Hussey said last night
that he knew who the young man was
against whom Mrs Hayes had made ac-
cusations and that he had him under
surveillance pending the report of DIR.
