NEW WORKERS LOST AND
THEN CAME SUICIDE

Naples, Aug. THE authorities of
Castellamare were confronted yester-
day by the remarkable double suicide
of n supposed New York couple. 1t Is
a mystery to the solution OF which II
has as yet been impossible TO obtain a
clew.
The couple were known at Castella-
mare only as Mr.. and Mrs Bucking-
ham and since their arrival they ap-
peared to be very much downcast. II
Is understood that they had tried TO
win a fortune at Monte Carlo, and
after losing all their money decided
on taking poison.
No notes or papers of any sort were
left that might give more detailed
| idea OF their identity.
An investigation OF all the Bucking-
| ham families recorded in the city di-
rectory last night revealed none who
knew OF any man and woman of thai
| name who are abroad.
