Took ChIoroform with Su-
iCidaI Intent.
PROBABLY ENDS THE CASE
JOHN VOORHEES,, WHO WAS AR
RESTED IN CONNECTION WITH
1T, is NOW DOING TIME IN
COUNTY JAIL FOR DRUNK.

Coroner Markley yesterday an
nounced his verdict in the Mary Ber-
tram case at Centerville. 1t is as
follows:
Mary Bertram came to her death
from the poisonous effects of chloro-
form, self administered, with sui
cidal intent
Such will probably be the end of
the sensational death which occurred
at Centerville last Friday afternoon.
AS regards John Voorhees, connec-
tion with the case, he was found
guilty of the charge of drunk which
was placed against him in order to
hold him few days. He was COM
mitted to the county Jail to serve out
a couple of weeks time.
Coroner Markley stated that in an
interview which he had with Voor-
hees, he could get nothing out of him
in regard to the suicide beyond all
denial of any knowledge of it. Voor-
hees said that he did not know that
she intended any such action and that
the statements which are abroad of
his alleged intimacy with Mrs. Ber-
tram are false. Voorhees, also said
that he did not remember having a
revolver and asking any person to
load it for him.

BURKHARDT GETS
MAIN ST. CONTRACT
He Will Put in the New Cement
Sidewalk from 18th to
22nd Street.
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE
STREET TO BE IMPROVED ON
THE NORTH SIDE-SIDEWALk
WILL BE TEN FEET WIDE
THROUGHOUT LENGTH.

The Board of Works Saturday
awarded the contract for putting in
cement walks from 18th street to 22nd
street on the north side Of Main, to
Daniel Burkhardt. Work on tearing
up the old sidewalk and replacing it
with a fine ten-foot concrete pave
ment, will begin as soon as Contractor
Burkhardt can make preliminary ar
rangements for the job. Mr.. Burk-
hardt's bid was $1.06 per lineal foot.
He was also awarded the contract
for the new six-foot sidewalk on the
east side of Sheridan street from the
Doran bridge to School street.
The putting in of the Main street
sidewalk will be one of the best i'm
provements to be made in the city this
summer. 1t is a subject of common
comment by those visiting the city,
that Richmond's sidewalks are not in
keeping with the general appearance
OF the city. Inc sidewalk on Main
street has not been uniform and in
places it was very rough and in a
sense, dangerous. The plan of tear
ing up a small portion of the street
and putting in the concrete, as was
done in the Main street improvement
last year, will be followed, thus in
conveniencing the public very little.
