STRANGE DEATH
OF YOUNG GIRL
Found Dead in Bed on Sat-
urday Morning at Home Of
DR.. C. R. JeIfeFiS
SHE MAY BE A SUICIDE

Believed to have committed suicide, Miss
Nellie E. Nelson. aged 10 years, was
found dead in bed on Saturday morning
at the home of DE-. c. r. Jeneris. dent
list. who lives at No. 1917 West Fourteenth
street. THE young womans body was
posted at the morgue to-day by Coroner's
Physician Bastian, and the result Of the
autopsy has not yet been made known.
Evidence of poisoning was found. how
ever, and the girls stomach has been sent
to the State Laboratory at Newark for
examination.
A bottle which had contained poison was
found in the girls room, and this leads
the authorities TO believe that she COM
mitted suicide.
After finding the girls body DR.. Jefferis
notified the coroner and investigation OF
the cause Of the girls death has been
going in since.
Deputy Coroner Harvey i. Nichols told
a reported for The Evening Journal to-day
that he had investigated the case and
found that death had resulted from natu-
raj causes. He did not say that he had
the empty poison bottle in his possession,
and it seems that every effort is being
made TO suppress the particulars con-
nected with the case.
Miss Nelson was an orphan, and had
been employed by Or. Jofferis as stenogra-
pher for about five years She made her
home at his house. She has no near rela-
tives here.

first witness, J. D. Lyons, of Pittsburg,
In whose custody the document had
