Story Of a Girls
Folly.
He TOLD HER SHE WAS MARRIED


Mary Curtis, seventeen years old,
of No. 81 Cooper Square, New York,
whose father is employed in the Office of
the Public Highway Department, of New
York attempted to commit suicide on
street, near Grove street, last night, by
taking dose of Paris Green. Accord
ing to her story she had been yictimized
by William Barrymore, nineteen years
old, of No. II Nassau street, Brooklyn.
She says that young Barrymore was a
member of the Sheldrqke Club of Brook
lyn and of the St. George cadets. She
She says that she met young Barrymore
at a ball in New York about year ago.
She liked him. They kept company for
nearly year. Barrymore had other adj
lnirers and she determined to outwit
them. She tells story 10 the effect that
on Sunday night last she accompanied
young Barrymore to Andy Horns Hotel
near the Brooklyn Bridge. He induced
her to drink a cocktail 1t was Nhe first
she had ever drunk. She was delighted
with it. When young Barrymore asked
her to have beer. as chaser she-took
it. She says that she does not know
whether there were any knockout drops
in either drink. She was then induced
to write the following telegram to her
mother
"Dear Mothers- Willie and are mar
ried."
The unfortunate girl says she knew
nothing more until she woke up Monday
morning in the Anchor Hotel, No. 26
Lexington street. She says she asked
young Barrymore what it all meant, and
he replied, why don't you know that
we were married last night" She asked
where was the ring, and the certificate of
marriage. He was unable to produce
them. The couple came over to this
city and hired apartments at No Is
Wayne street. Barrymore left her there
saying that he was going out to get some
money. lie did not return, He left his
light overcoat and vest as guarantee
that he would return. When she got
tired of waiting for him to return she
came to the conclusion that she had
been duped.
When this thought flashed through her
mind she determined to kill herself. She
went to drug store and got some Paris
green. The clerk was suspicious and
closely questioned her. She declared she
only wanted it to kill insects. She took
the dose on Grove street and staggered
in the direction o. the Home of the,
Homeless, where she asked to be taken
in. She was taken in and sent from
there to the City Hospital.
The would-be suicide is beautiful girl
IF the brunette type. She viii recover.
On the bed she left in Wayne street the
police foun da copy of Laura Jean Lib
by''s novel, Had She Loved Him Less;
rthe Story of Beautiful Violet Ar
leigh's Sin" In a pocket of young Barry
more's, oyercoat were found couple
of dice, which makes it appear that he
was crap shooter.

Except in. the home districts Of the
various Assembly candidates, very little
scratching was done on the County ticket,
and the candidates for Assembly and
Coroner ran pretty evenly. With the ex-

Democratic Gibraltar, giving majority
of over 5000, Jersey City coming next
with an estimated majority of about
$500. The figures are as folows:-
