MYSTERY IN THE TRAGEDY

Suspect Who Has Been Identified IS
Person With Record as Criminal.
The last tragic chapter in story OF
a most unusual crime was written IN
the half light Of an early summers
dawn near st. Michaels, Md, when the
man accused of the murder OF May
Edith Thompson Woodill fired bullet
into his heart and fell lifeless lump
into the bottom OF boat which he
hoped would carry him to landing
place where fight might be possible.

Gage, and Of former Governor Frank
Brown of this state the man known
here as Emmett E. Roberts. but who in
reality was Robert Emmett Eastman,
a failed broker of the Consolidated
Stock exchange of New York. passed
beyond the reach Of the law.
A letter found upon Eastman's body,
addressed to Winnie Bradcome. care Of
Klaw & Erlanger, the theatrical mama
gers in New York, gave Eastman's ill
sustained excuse for the crime 1t
was rambling account of how he had
been out in launch with party Of
men and women all of whom had been
drinking to excess with the exception
of himself and Mrs. Woodill: of how
one of the women in fit of jealous
frenzy had attacked Mrs. WOodill with
wine bottle and killed her. Eastman
asked Miss Bradcome to take charge
of his body and his property.
1t developed this wumar was East
mans wife.
1t was well known that Eastman was
infatuated with the girl. Shs in turn,
it would seem, was fascinated by him
at times and possibly frightened by his
attentions. In a note addressed to
Dear Wobby," declining to see him at
a particular time, but not wishing to
anger him, she said:

wash your Dishes"
Eastman evidently prevailed upon
the girl to visit his farm. The girl
met Eastman on June 10. was seen to
leave the Mcdaniel wharf in a launch
with him, and Wednesday her nude
body was found floating on the sur
face of Rose creek, crudely tied to a
rope weighted with iron bricks.
Mrs. Woodill, the wife of Gilbert
Woodill, an automobile dealer in Los
Angeles, who had been on visit to
her relatives, had intended leaving in
a few days to rejoin her husband.
Jealousy, induced by the fact that she
was so soon to go away, is strikingly
foremost in the list OF theories. The
crime may have been meditated or it
may have been the result of sudden
frenzy. The real story Of the Roberts"
bungalow will never be known

was graduated with high honors, and
when I was bidding her goodbye /
told her that she had a task before
her.
She thought I would say m

to her anticipations, I told her that
she would have to f1irt good and hard
to make up for lost time, and she said
that she would.
"Of course, it makes a good deal OF

knowledge Of Social Lhe-Wafns Radcliffe Girs-TOO Much Time
Given Up to Books Must Be Made UD by Hard Firfna Afterward

Boston, Mass. Professor George
Herbert Palmer, of Harvard, sixty
seven years old, twice wed and re-
ported to be contemplating a third
venture in matrimony, his next bride
to be a Wellesley professor, has come
forward with the statement that a lit
tie flirting, properly conducted, of
course, is not only advisable, but
even imperative, for the average col
lege boy and girl.
Flirting is the surest road toward
the proper knowledge of social life"
says the professor, who has the dis
tinction of being the oldest member
of the Harvard faculty, and whose
second wife, Alice Freeman Palmer,
was president of Wellesley College
from 1881 to 1887.
Il think the girls Of Radcliffe and
the boys of Harvard devote too much
of their time to study. They actually
bury themselves in their books, and
the result is that when they get
through college they don't know a
thing about social life.
".They should mingle a little frivol-
ity with their studies - in other
words, they should firt a little. Were
l to advise the boys of Harvard or
the girls of Radcliffe, 1 would tell
them to go around and see things
more than they do.
II am always reminded of a girl
graduate of Radcliffe, who studied so
hard that she got the reputation of
being over-studious. She never went
anywhere. While the other girls

In the Bell telephone exchange here
and a reprimand from the chief

had insulted her by wire what she
thought of him, caused her to commit
suicide by drinking carbolic acid. She
was Miss Elizabeth Monk, seventeen
years old, of No. 1922 P~assayunk
venue When the chief operator
reprimanded Miss Monk the chief did
not understand the situation, and
thought the girl was flirting. Miss
Monk, when called upon afterward to
explain her conduct, experienced no
difficulty in clearing herself of the
imputation which had been cast upon
her. Notwithstanding that, she went
home. determined to die rather than
face her comrades in the exchange.
Before she drank the acid she wrote
a note. In it she called attention to
the fact that she had been repri-
manded publicly by her chief for act
ing as any girl should do when in
suited by a man.
Il am too ashamed to go back and
face the other girls" she wrote.
Rather than have the stigma of be-
ing a flirt cast upon me, I shall kill
myself"
Miss Monk was almost dead when
she was discovered. In the hope of
saving her life she was hurried to the
Methodist Episcopal Hospital, where
she died ar hour afterward without
regaining consciousness. Before the
trouble arose in the exchange she had
The Penn's Grove record., 1909-07-09

made all arrangements for her vaca-
ton, and had told friends that adj
vancement had been promised to her.
A man called for a number and
endeavored to engage Miss Monk in
conversation while she was getting it
for him. She replied courteously un-
til he began to make insulting re.
marks to her. Miss Monk resented
them at once. She told him he ought
to be ashamed of himself, and that
he had better go about his business.
To compel him to do so she cut him
off on the wire.
1t Is asserted the girls chief did
not understand the situation and
heard only a few of the words she
had uttered. Their import was mis-
construed.
Your language is a violation Of
the rules of the Office, and you will
be called upon for an explanation to-
morrow morning." it is asserted the
chief operator said. "You know it is
against the rules to hold a converse
ton in business hours"
Miss Monk endeavored to explain,
but her explanation was not accepted.
She was directed to go ito the front"
in the morning. Throughout the
long night on duty in the exchange
she brooded owe the trouble. When
morning finally came she went to

which she had been subjected.
