"New Brunswick, NJ, April ID.
"A dispatch received here late
this afternoon from Providence,y r.
Il.,telling If the suicide of woman
who was passenger on the Joy
Line steamer fremont, which left
New York on Monday night for
Providence, confirmed the fear that
Mrs. Martha Hamilton Breazeale
who disappeared yesterday, had
taken her own life. il ! 3.,.,
"Mrs. Breazeale wasthe wife Of
William r. Breazea1e, associate
professorsof mathematics in Rut-
gers college. She left her hon1eat
1O2 Hamilton street yesterday,
morning. AS che had been a great
sufferer from nervous trouble and
melanc chol1a for several years, the
fears of the household, when she
did not return, in a few hours, were
that she had wandered off just as
she had done few years'ago before
while suffering from similar de-
preston! Co.,"
s'rhe police were notified to look
for her, and Prof. Breazeale's
friends, including many of the Rut-
gers students, started a search. -
t'The first. clue to the woman 8
whereabouts came this morning iii
q 4etterfrom her, directed to Prof.
Breazeale, postmarked at New
York on Monday night. It WAS. a.
pitiful letter telling how the writer
had struggled in vain to overcome
her despondency. There was a
touching farewell to her, husband,
closing with the information that
by the TIME the letter was received |
she would be dead, '+
'""Prof. Breazeale started for New
Y ork as soon as he received the let
ter, accompanied by bis brother-
in-law, Prof. R. W. Prentiss. He
visited various steamboat offices,
and had them telegraph their New
England ports, to see his wife's
name was on any of the passenger
lists. AS she had relatives in Wor-
oester, Mass, he thought that she
mighttg go thereland that her pen-
pie would intervene before she CAR
ried out her threat. At the.Joy|
Limo office Prof. Breazeale learned
that q Woman whose description
corresponded with that of his wife
had bought a ticket. s,I..Gn.1
