When asked why none of the deadly

not looked for.
Mr.. Lowe asked her what she
thought caused Jake's death. Said
she still believed 1t was wood-alcoholic
poisoning. Then you paid no atten'

not believe that he would DO so?" was
asked. She said she didn't.
Mr.. Lowe asked her then If she
didn't think 1t strange, supposing Jake
did commit suicide, why he was so
secretive about it when on the other
two occasions he had attempted 1t
ne was SO public about 1t.
Said Witness Reed was mistaken If
