POLICE CALL WOMAN SUICIDE
Oaicers at GAINESVILLE Give Up Search
NJ

Oaicers mt GAINESVILLE Give Up Search
In Malone Case.
So convinced is Chief of Police Apple
by that Miss Josephine Malone took her
own life in GAINESVILLE by drowning while
in a melancholy STATE of mind that no
effort is being made to unravel what has
been called a second Madelyn Clayton af-
fair. Miss Malone was most peculiar at
times, and one of her brothers was treat
ed in a sanitarium for mental trouble.
Since the drowning of Madelyn CLAYTON
Miss Malone has continually brooded over
the affair. and recently said IF one con-
tcmplated suicide the very spot where
Madelyn jumped in is an ideal one" Miss
Malone was devoted member of St.
Marys Roman Catholic church, and her
scores of church friends scout the idea
of suicide The body was buried at Ed
gerton. Drs. James St John and James
Gibson found no marks on the body that
woald Indicate that the woman met a vio-
lent death. Miss Malone's body was
found in three feet of water near the
shore at the foot of Center street and di-
rcctly across from where the body of
Madelyn Clayton was found. There is a
steep bank at this point. The superstition
of the police is that Miss Malone, after
spending the evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. Michael Hayes, walkeN down
Center street into the river. On the body
were the dead woman's rings, her pocket
book containing So and some trinkets.
District Attorney Fisher says that no
evidence indicates thai the woman met
her death other than by suicide.

selection and crossing he has not only
vastly improved a large variety of
vegetables, grain, fruit, nuts and flow
ers, but he has actually succeeded in
producing new species of value far
transcending that of either of the par
ent originals. BY changing the nature
of the fruits themselves he has largely
extended the areas of their profitable
cultivation. For example, oranges can
now be grown in territories where for
merly frosts made it impossible. He
has invented" grains and grasses
which flourish in lands formerly con-
sidered worthless deserts. He has elm
mated seeds FROM certain fruits there
by greatly increasing their value. He
has produced an edible thornless cac-
tus capable of supplying forage for
countless herds on the arid plains and
even available as food for man.
AS a result of his fame his expert
