her mistress take as many as six OF
the strychnine pellets at one time. The
attending physicians said this might
account for her death. {
After funeral services at the Church
of the Holy Name the dead woman's
body was taken to Long Island City.
The stories told by the woman's
friends and acquaintances reveal her
as worthy rival of Cassie Chadwick.
Colonel Robert J. Haire, who was
counsel for Louise Vermeule when she
was arrested, tried and acquitted on
account of her extensive operations
among dry goods merchants in New
York city in 1897. said:
"Some time after the acquittal Of
