Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-08

went to her room and knocked. A
weak voice bade me enter l found
| her in bed.
| when 1 inquired what the matter
was she told me she was ill and had
been so for several days. I asked what
could do for her and she told me she
needed a physician, but had only lit
tie money.
| "I then went to the office of DR.. De-
Witt ;Lamoree, 502 South Main street,
| and asked him to come to her room.
For two days after that 1 carried
meals to the young woman, but she
continued to grow weaker.
II then asked DIR. Lamoree If 1t would
not be best to have Miss Miller re-
moved to the county hospital. He ad-
I.vised me to do so and said for me to
telephone to the county hospital and
the physicians there would send an
ambulance for her.
II followed his instructions and the
same day Miss Miller was taken to the
hospital.
Tells of Milk Incident
"I accompanied her to the hospital
and then visited her each day until the
day of her death.
ION May 81 called at the hospital
shortly after o'clock. 1t was after
calling hours, but 1 passed by the Of
flee where the physicians sat and no
one stopped me.
"I went direct to the cot where Miss
Miller lay and sat by her SIDE Soon a
nurse appeared and for ten minutes
we three were there talking together.
A physician also passed us and stopped
a moment and spoke.
"After the nurse went away Olga
spoke of feeling hungry. I went to the
nurse and asked permission to give
olga glass of milk. The milk was
given me, but when I took 1t to the
girl she complained that 1t was too
cold. 1 then went to the kitchen and
heated the milk.
when I returned with it I gave it
to Olga and she drank 1t at once. 1
had no words with her about her drink
ing the milk, in fact she seemed glad
to get it:
telephoned to the hospital to find how
she was. The physician I spoke to in
formed me she was quite i'll and desired
to see me. I boarded car and went
| to the place.
Arrested by Detectives
"As I stepped through the door two
men accosted me. They said they were
detectives and requested me to accom-
pany them to the city Jail. They re-
fused to tell me why I was arrested
but simply searched me and then
placed me in the cells.
| Il did not know why was arrested
until Friday, when I was taken before
the autopsy surgeon and asked a num-
Der of questions. Then for the first
time I found out that Olga was dead.
1t developed at the autopsy that she
| died from an abscesS which had formed
on her brain and was caused from an
injury she had received several years
ago. I presume this injury was the
bullet wound made at the time you
say she attempted to kill herself.
| "Olga never became confidential with
me, but frequently would make some
statement which would cause we to
| look at her in astonishment She would
then cease speaking and no questions
of mine would cause her to say any,
thing further.
Olga frequently spoke of the ter
rors of remorseful conscience and
once asked me to procure morphine
Tor her. This / refused to do. 1 do
not believe she used anything of this
nature, as that was the only time ]
ever heard her mention it.
Astonished by Story of Tragedy
"Olga possessed two diamond rings
and about $5S in money. deposited
tnlS money In the bank for her TWO
days before her death and turned the
book the diamonds and all the re-
mainder of her possessions over to the
police after her death. They in turn
gave them to the public administrator
so I have been informed, and presume
he is holding them until relatives call
"The story of Olga's past life aston
ishes me greatly. l never had the
slightes. suspicion that she had any
such history back of her. She was an
exceptionally pretty girl and very vel
educated and refined. I never could
understand why she worked as a wait
ress, but thought it was because she
had no money and was compelled to dc
something to support herself.
II intend to remain here in Los An
geles Until book have written is
published and I wilIS then return to
Chicago. where my mother lives.
Captain FIammer Satisfied
1.-THE police appeared satisfied with
the findings of the autopsy surgeon
and my story, but if they wish to ask
me any further questions they know
where to find me. / regret the whole
deplorable incident and am sorry
have been mixed up in 1t in such an
unenviable light. Miss Millert was
simply a good friend to me, and
did all I could to assist her when she
was in trouble"
I'VE investigated the case as well
as we could at the time," said Acting
