was unable to save her. She called
to a couple a short distance ahead
of her who had not witnessed the ac-
cdent. They looked out upon the
swift current of the river but not a
ripple even where the body had fall
len could be seen in the darkness.
Patrolman Samuel Smith was noti-
fed and Lieutenant John ], Ford, with
a number of officers, hurried to the
scene. SNffs were brought into use

appeared young and pretty was well
dressed, wore a fascinator on her
head, was rather heavy set and about
five feet tall. She did not notice her
face. but when within a few feet of
her heard her make the remark about
being tired Of living.
