 Are relatives of Mrs. Lillian Lam- bert, who died in a hospital at Detroit a day or two ago. after having taken poison with suicidal intent, living in Birmingham? And had she been at some time q resident of the city? These are queries ,containe ed in a letter addressed ta, Mayor Drennen by W. c. Gates. who is evidently the keeper of a lodging house in Detroit 1. He enclosss newspaper clippings which show that the death of Mrs. Lambert was sad and deamatic. Last Monday night q week ago her husband. who was a harkeeper. dropped dead at 9 dance in Arbeiter hall, and as soon as the wife received ths news she took a dose of poison. She was partially re- vived by the physicians at the hospi- tai. but died few days later, and itsis possible that she may have taken @ second dose of the drug by stealth. One of the newspaper clippings con- tains the reproduction of a photograph of Mrs. Lambert. which shows her to have been a woman of more than usual attraetiveness. fSa, MT. Gates writes: Mrs. Lambert claimed to have lived in Alabama, and had Q letter from her father dated Bir- mingham. but with the name torn off She also had small Bibla with the name Emma Emerson written inside.
