BURGLAR
GOT NO
BOOTY

Greenwich, Conn, Sept. 16.-C. b. Della
vergne, a member OF the New York firm
OF Hackett, Carhart and Company, re-
ported today an attempted robbery az his
residence at Bell Haven, last night. While
the family were at Dime about I o'clock,
q burglar entered a room on the second
story.
The house is about 10 be closed and the
belongings Of the family had been
packed up. on a bed was a chest con-
tanning about $500 worth Of silver. and
the burglar evidently attempted TO open
this with skeleton keys. but was dis
Nturbed and fled before accomplishing his
purpose. He left a key in the box, and
a straw hat supposed 10 belong 10 him
was found on the lawn. Two satchels,
which contained only articles Of clothing,
are missing. Mr.. DeLavergne denied a
story that the robbers took away some
Jewels.
The furnishings 81 the house are to be
sold at auction soon. and the sale has
been widely advertised. This Is supposed
TO nave led to the attempted robbery.
The authorities who are investigating
the shooting Of Mrs. c. w. Morell and
she attempted burglary at her house are
not inclined 10 connect this latest break
with that one.
The DeLavergne residence is several
miles from the Morell place.

A SUICIDE

swampscott, Mass, Sept. 16.-Death by
suicide is the official finding In the case
OF Mrs. Jennie T.. Chase, the wealthy
Swampscott resident, who was found
dead Wednesday night at her home. but
the local police. on account OF several
suggestions OF foul play In the case have
not altogether stopped their investiga-
tion.
Medical Examine Joseph Pinkham.
who was also Mrs. Chase's attending
physician, declares that the woman com
mitted suicide and assigned the cause of
death as gas poisoning with pneumonia as
a contributing agency.
The woman inhaled the gas some time
last Sunday and until "Wednesday, when
she died, she remained unconscious. The
fact OF her condition, IL is said. was
known only 10 her husband. DR.. Horace
Chase, a retired physician, and TO DR..
Pinkham. Mrs. Chase married DR.. Chase
several years ago. She inherited a large
estate from the late Eben Phillips. Later
Mrs. Chase adopted the son Of her hus-
band by a former wife. The son. who will
Inherit the woman's property, is declared
to. be seriously III. Under the terms Of
the trust agreement by which the estate
exists Is is said the property would pass
20 DR.. Chase In the event OF his sons
death.
When Mrs. Chase was found uncon-
scious she was fully dressed. Near her
were two parrots and a canary bird I'm
cages and across her body lay n poodle
dog. Birds and dog were dead.
Gas was pouring from Jets and also
yrom a gas stove. On a table nearby was
note which was unaddressed and which

The note was signed Jennie" The
penmanship is said 20 have been that Of
Mrs. Chase. The condition OF the woman
was discovered by her husband, who was
ATTRACTED TO the room by the odor Of
gas.
He had been treating his son. who Is
critically III from cirrhosis.
The door OF the room was locked and
Dr. Chase was forced TO make entrance
Through a window. The fact that the
woman had tried TO commit suicide was
kept from the public as well as the mem
hers OF Mrs. Chase's family. including her
brothers. Eben and Chase Phillips. The
continued Investigation by the police II
said 10 be due 10 the wishes OF Mrs.
Chase's brothers

himself a few months ago near his home

Chase Phillips, had told him that they
were satisfied that Mrs. Chase had taken
her own life. Chief Harris was IN con-
ference during the day with the selectmen
of the town. At the conference Il was
agreed that the evidences OF suicide were
