zles the police The discovery early
today at the home OF the dead woman
of torn piece of cloth which resem-
bles the bandage tied around her
mouth when she was found leads the
police to believe that Mrs. Culbertson
was her own slayer.
The locating in Chicago of woman
suspected of Implication in the plot
to murder Mrs. Culbertson and the
declaration from this woman that she
had not been away from Chicago since
last July, could prove an alibi, and
that she was willing 10 come 10 Vim
cennes to allay suspicion aroused
against her, has also served to indi-
cate that the tragic end to Mrs. Cul.
bertson's life came by self-destruc-
ton.
No trace has been found Of any
strangers In the neighborhood OF the
Culbertson home on the afternoon Of
the tragedy. Neither is there any def
mite trace as to where the carbolic
