Supposed Mabel NJ. Lawrence
Is Identified by Her
Relatives at the Morgue
MOTHER HEART BROKEN
Leaving Home Three Months
Ago Without Warming She
Lives Under False Name

The handsome young girl who COM
mitted suicide on Tuesday and who
was supposed to be Mabel NJ. Lawrence
proves to have been Lille Marie Mack
She was the daughter of Mrs. Annie
Mack, living at 40 Gilbert street What
was the occasion or the reason for her
taking her life is enshrouded in mys-
terry.
Three months ago she left her home
one afternoon, saying "Good-by, mother,
1 am going out for a little walk on
That was the last her family saw of
her until they saw her body on slab
at the Morgue. AS she had adopted an
assumed name she would have un-
doubtedly passed out of sight and her
people would never have known of her
untimely end had they not seen her
photograph in The Call yesterday
morning. Mrs. Mack, the mother of
the unfortunate girl, is broken-hearted
over the tragedy. For thirty years
Mrs. Mack and her family have lived
in the neighborhood where they now
reside. Mrs. Mack has the highest re-
spect and esteem of every one in that
vicinity.
In speaking of the affair last night
the broken-he mother said:
Lille has always been a good girl, but she
was fond of going out. Her two brothers,
John and Willie would occasionally remon-
strate with her and wanted her to stay more
at home. She used TO work in the canning
factory with me, and besides this she used to
do the housework for the family. 1 have
worked hard all my life and saved every
nickel 1 possibly could to help dress her nicely
and 1 also saved up a little money to put
aside to help her in l should die For
three months she has been away Her brother
has searched everywhere over the city at night
to try and find her Her father took his life
in February 1901 while laboring under, the
effects of temporary insanity caused by epilep-
tic fits. Poor Lille was subject to slight at
tacks of the same afhiction. She was always
some day she would go insane l am of the
opinion she was insane when she killed herself
l do not know anything about the trip to Seat
tie She had never gone there previous to the
time when she left me. 1 am not acquainted
with any young man who had ever kept COM
pany with her.
Her friend and companion, Miss Ella
Lefevre, was greatly upset over the
death Of Miss Mack and was amazed
when she learned of her antecedents.
She said she always supposed that Lille
came from Seattle and that she was
entirely friendless. Miss Lefevre said
| that while the girl was in the employ
of C. c. Lord at 800 Kearny street she
was very quiet and modest. Periodi-
cally she was very melancholy, and
once she told Miss Lefevre that she
was subject to epilepsy and was afraid
| at that moment that she was going to
| have an attack. Miss Lefevre says she
never heard her speak Of any love af-
fair and that in the short time she
knew her she never saw her with any
man. She added, however, that there
was some mystery, she thought, behind
the girls suicide, but what it was she
had no idea. She said she had in
| formed Miss Adams at 1905 Powell
street, where the girl died, to take care
of all her effects and to surrender them
only to the girls mother.
/ Regarding the rumors of certain
Archie, whose name was connected
with the affair, neither Miss Lefevre
nor Mrs. Mack could throw any light
The funeral of the unfortunate gir
will take place from her mothers home
] tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
