LOOKING FOR RELATIVES.
Police Desire Information Regarding
Miss Josie Kent

Capt. Boardman received a message to-
day from ]. H. Silvy, chief Of police of
Ellsworth, Me, to the effect that Josie Eva
Kent whose death In Garfield Hospital
Wednesday night was mentioned in The
Star, had resided in that town. Her rela-
tives moved from there to Massachusetts
about ten years ago, the chief stated, but he
was unable to tell to what part of the lat
ter state. Miss Kent had mancuring es-
Establishment at 732 10th street. When she
went TO the hospital about a week ago she
said to the physicians that she had receiv-
ed injury by falling down a flight of
stairs. Her condition indicated that she had
also undergone an operation and the au-
topsy performed at the hospital, Ii is stat
ed showed that her death was probably
due to the operation.
Detective Grant made thorough inveE-
tigation of the young woman's Death but
was unable to find any trace of the per-
son who performed the operation. In the
absence of anything TO show that the opera
ton was of a criminal nature and being
unable to fasten ii upon any particular in
dividual an inquest was deemed unneces-
sary.
The brother of the young man to whom
she was engaged to be married but who
died shortly before the time set for their
wedding was interviewed by Detective
Grant but he was unable to be of any
sistance TO the officer except to tell that
she was from Ellsworth.
During the past few months Miss Kent
took out a life insurance policy for
$500 saying she wanted to leave money
enough TO provide a decent burial for her
remains. The policy has been turned over
to the police and the latter are anxious to
find relatives of the dead woman In order
that they may look after the interment.
The amount OF the insurance is sufficient
to pay for the shipment of the remains to
Maine or Massachusetts and the police
think that relatives of Miss Kent would
probably want the body IL they knew Of her
death The remains are at Wrfghts under
taking establishment.
It IL thought by the police that the young
woman said her relatives were all dead be-
cause she did not want them to know of her
whereabouts Unless something is heard
from them during the next two or three
days the body will be inferred in local
cemetery
