SISTERS HANG
THEMSELVES
Found in Their Home in
Newark Both Stabbed
With Hatpins.
SUICIDE


Newark, N. j., Dec. 20.--With one OF
them stabbed through the heart with
hatpin and strangled and the other
whose body hung from doorknob by
a rope, stabbed half a dozen times by
similar instrument, the lifeless bod
les. of Miss Frances Richie and her
sister, Isabel Richie, We're found in
the kitchen of their home here.
A note which was written on the
cover of white box found on the side
board In the dining room read:
Frances hung herself 21h Saturday:
me too"
The authorities say there was q sui
eide pact between the sisters.
Frances, who was the elder, was
found lying on the floor with her head
on a pillow. The hands were clasped
in front. There was heavy ridge
around the neck, showing that she had
been strangled, and a hatpin pene-
trated the body to the heart.
Isabel made loop from a piece of
weathei beaten elothesline, both ends
Of which had been wound and tied Sc
curely around the doorknob She was
In a kneeling position, with her face
toward the floor. A pair OF gold rim
med eyeglasses were on her nose.
The police theory is that the women
had entered into suicide agreement;
that Frances had hanged herself, after
which she was cut down by Isabel
who placed the pillow under her head
and then with the same piece Of rope
hanged herself to the door, which is
about ten feet away from the place
where her sisters body was lying.
There was only the one piece of rope
in the room.
That the women were not in want
was shown by the fact khat sums Of
money we're found in different recep-
tacles in the house. They had two
diamond rings and two gold watches.
They were members of Trinity Episco-
pal church.
